Chapter 239

“If they ask, just tell them that it’s to avoid misunderstanding. Please also let the chef know we won’tserve them dinner from now on.”

Molly thought it would be best to keep a distance from the Anderson family. That would do good for herand her kids as well as Sean. She had no slightest interest in being dragged into some wealthy familyfeud.

Alex’s face changed one he heard Molly. He looked at his mother with a worried face.” Mommy, do youreally have to do this?” He muttered in his mind, ‘Did mommy plan to cut daddy off?’

Ben and Claudia could no longer stay put. They rushed over, wanting to dissuade their mother. “Mommy,are we not going to dine in with Uncle Sean anymore?”

“Mommy, Uncle Sean has treated us well. Not only did he get us a tutor, he even took us on a trip.”

“That’s right! Mommy, do you remember how Uncle Sean helped us on a few occasions when those badpeople from the May family bullied us? Uncle Sean has been very good to us! Are we really going to cutties with him?” The triplets kept dissuading Molly. Of course Molly remembered all the things Sean haddone for them. But that was precisely the reason she did not want to become his burden.

She had made up her mind.

“Alex, be a good boy, okay? Listen to mommy. Visit next door and do what I said,” Molly repeated herinstruction. Apparently, she was firm with her decision. The triplets looked at Molly with their puppy eyes.Claudia’s big eyes were watery. She looked like she was about to weep. Molly could not bear to watchthem, so she turned around and left.

While holding the list of recipes in his hand, Alex was staring downward, wrestling with his emotions. Inthe end, he got up and went next door. He handed over the list to the chef and repeated what Molly hadsaid. Before he left, he looked at the room upstairs for the last time, feeling reluctant to part with Sean.The chef stared at the list in his hand, feeling puzzled. He immediately went to Tony and repeated Alex’swords without skipping any details. Tony went panic-stricken.

Without hesitation, he dashed to Sean’s place and interrupted his boss, who was busy. Tony was sodesperate that he did not even care how his rudeness would affect his year-end bonus.

“Boss, bad news!”

Sean gave Tony a side-eye before the latter told him what Alex had said: Molly would hand the rest ofthe recipes to the chef so he could prepare the medical diets for Sean, and they would not dine intogether anymore.

All of a sudden, Sean’s eyes became cold, and his face darkened. He placed his fingers on the folders.They had become cold too. The same went with the surrounding temperature. It felt as if it had droppedby several degrees.

Tony gasped for air after talking on and on about everything. He was panting as he said, “Ms. May’sdecision must have something to do with Madam and Ms. Nolan.” Although Alex was the one who toldthe chef, everyone knew he was just relaying messages for Molly.

Sean’s finger trembled a little before he clenched his fist. He was gravely unhappy. When he thoughtabout what his mother and Abigail had said at the dinner table, he felt regretful. ‘When Abigail came hereunannounced, I should’ve known mom was up to something when she invited Molly over.’ His motherlooked like she was trying to set him up with Abigail. But the truth was, although she did not do itblatantly, she was trying to send Molly a warning. Sean lowered his gaze at the purplish-green veins onhis palm. He blamed himself for not taking care of Molly’s feelings. It was not easy for a mother to raise

three kids alone. When Alice had brought up the topic of the triplets’ father, Molly and the kids must havefelt awful. ‘No wonder she wants to distance me. She doesn’t just do it for the kids. She got my mother’smessage. Did she feel that she had bothered me?’

Sean let out a sigh as he thought of that. The dim lighting cast shadows under his eyelashes.
