Ricky was speechless as he looked at his son with a frown. He would have taken that as a compliment if somebody else said it.However, he knew exactly what Sean meant.'What did he mean by she only listens to me?'His mother can get mad at everyone and everything. I'm no exception. Is this kid trying to throw me under the bus?'Sean was aware of what Ricky was thinking, so he spoke first to avoid getting rejected. "Everything depends on you now. I have work to be done. I'll leave now."Ricky did not say anything as he watched Sean leave. Then, the door was shut.He felt a headache. He always thought that Sean was an impressively bright person that he did not have to worry about.However, he did not feel the same way when Sean actually used his intelligence against him. Ricky leaned his back on the soft chair as he breathed out heavily. "Sigh…"He could already imagine how chaotic and restless the house was going to be. …Molly was surfing the internet at her home when sh
"Mommy is here!"The triplets noticed Molly standing at the staircase. Then, they ran to her, looking horrified."Mommy, why didn't you tell us about that? Were you hurt?"Mommy, are you scared? Don't worry. We'll protect you from now on!"Mommy, you have to tell us no matter what happens in the future. We're still very worried about you even though the threat is gone now!"The triplets had the urge to end Abigail's life when they thought about what Abigail did to Molly when they were not around.'What an old witch. Not only she won't stop bothering daddy, but she even tried to hurt Mommy! This is unforgivable!'Molly looked at their tiny faces filled with worries as she reached her hand out to comfort them. "I'm fine. Uncle Sean was there to protect me, so there's nothing to be worried about."Molly was trying to say that Sean, who the triplets looked up to so much, was with her, so she would normally be safe. However, that was just an exception.But, the triplets took it in
Suddenly, Molly felt heat rushing up to her head as if a pink bubble was going to explode on her cheeks. Molly bowed her head down to massage Sean's legs, and she did not lift her head up for quite some time.So, she could not see how sincere Sean looked.The Anderson family was going to know how important Molly was to Sean after they knew about what happened to Abigail.Then, the Anderson family would replace Abigail with Molly. So, Molly would not have to go through the dire straits the Anderson family would give her. All she had to do was accept Sean and let Sean take care of everything else.The next day, Sean heard rumors spreading around the office when he got there.Even a big company like the Anderson Cooperation had gossip. Tony came to report to him after going out for a while. "Boss, the Noland family is figuring something out. They're planning to hire a lawyer and prove that Abigail had nothing to do with the kidnapping." It was not impossible for the Noland family
"Everybody out there is talking about how the CEO of Anderson Cooperation had fallen in love with a disreputable woman."She was engaged, cheated, gave birth, and even chased out of the family. She is a laughing stock in Northfolk." Michael said every word clearly and casually as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him.Mr. Anderson Sr.'s face was already looking upset when Michael turned to him before asking him with a faint smile. "Dad, I wonder if you've heard about this."Mr. Anderson Sr. ignored him as he shifted his gaze to his grandson. His eyes looked imposing as ever and his age did not affect him a slight bit. He had a natural air of authority around him.The dinner was very quiet, and none of the people at the table dared to make any noise. Every one of them bowed their head down while looking at their plates."Sean, is it true that you're with a woman like that?" Mr. Anderson Sr. did not speak very loudly, but his voice sounded very robust. Everyone
'What? Almost got him injured?'The people Abigail hired were too incompetent. Just imagine how wonderful would it be if they could just get rid of him once and for all while he was abroad.'The people that were preying on Sean's power complained to themselves inwardly, yet none of them dared to show what they were thinking on their faces.The expression on Mr. Anderson Sr.'s face turned solemn. He moved his gaze and glared at Michael.Everybody knew how much he loved Sean. Mr. Anderson Sr. thought about the Noland family that Sean mentioned after Tony was done speaking. He figured that what Sean said about them had got to be true judging by how agitated Michael was!Nobody in the Anderson family was comparable to Sean in Mr. Anderson Sr.'s heart.Besides, Sean had difficulty walking. He would not have a great chance of surviving if he was faced with any danger!He had a rather high chance of getting injured, and even losing his life…Mr. Anderson Sr. got very angry when he t
Alice stared at Sean from behind. She knew that even though her son did not say anything directly, he was defending Molly while he was being questioned by Mr. Anderson Sr.She walked fast subconsciously and grabbed Ricky's hand to catch up with Sean as she asked Sean, who was sitting in the wheelchair."Sean, were you serious?"Sean lifted his hand up. Tony knew what he meant and slowed down.Sean looked forward. The lights on both sides of the road were very bright.It looked like Sean's deep eyes absorb those lights. His eyes were filled with the brightness of the lamps, and they looked like stars.He responded flatly, "Dr. May and I are just friends. Mom, give me a break."Their exchange was rather calm this time."Dr. May is doing everything she could to treat my legs. I hope that you can stop doing things that are going to embarrass yourself."The Anderson Residence was in a luxury neighborhood. The land price was exorbitant, yet every house there had a spacious yard, and
Molly chuckled softly as she looked at them at the side. "Be careful," she said.The triplets' adorable faces surrounded Sean. Their joyful voice and tenderness made the chilly night feel warmer.Sean liked the triplets very much even though they were not his own kids.He swept his gaze across the triplets' faces, and he was moved for some reason.He would not have a problem treating the triplets as his own children.After they got inside the house, Grandpa Dave, Brycen, and Sawyer were all sitting in the living room. Sawyer was sitting at the side with a cup of tea in his hand. He nodded at Sean politely when he saw Sean coming in.Brycen had already lost a few rounds of chess, and he looked very frustrated. A smile spread across his face when he saw Sean coming back, and he hurriedly let Sean take his place.Grandpa Dave could not help but smile after seeing what Brycen did. Then, he said without holding back, "You're just embarrassing!""Quick, over here."Brycen put all
Nathan was an outsider, after all. It was normal for him to think like that.However, Nathan changed his mind after listening to the rumors.He thought about it for the whole day before he decided to ask Grandpa Dave about it.Sean was shocked after hearing that question, and he stopped keeping the chess pieces.He did not expect Grandpa Dave to ask him that question directly. However, Sean did not want to hide anything from him.Sean moved his lips and started talking. He kept the chess pieces and told Grandpa Dave everything about Michael's intention and plan. "Your uncle is such a bad person!" Brycen got angry when he heard what Sean said.Even Grandpa Dave could not help but frown. However, he felt very happy with Sean, as Sean was actually willing to do so such things for his granddaughter."The higher a man stands, the more he possesses. However, more troubles will come knocking too, even though one tries to avoid them," Grandpa Dave sighed.He directed that statement
