Chapter 60 Heartless
Just as Jon thought that, Belle sweetly called out to him, “Aren’t you going
to have some snacks and watch cartoons with us, Jon?”
Jon rolled his eyes as he raised his chin even higher.
The bag of chips was soon finished. After finishing a bag of pop rocks, Belle tried to climb out of Sean’s lap. However, Sean soon chuckled and leaned over to pull the huge storage box over to them. “I’ll leave this here. Take whatever you want.”
“Okay!” Belle happily nodded.
She truly did not hold back at all. She immediately started digging through the snacks inside the box. Suddenly, she let out a gasp of surprise before pulling out two large bags. “Whoa! Jon, it’s your favorite jerky. There are original and spicy flavors.”
Finally, Jon could not help but look over at them. When he saw the two bags Belle was holding, his gluttonous stomach started gurgling up at him.
However, he could not be weak!
He was not someone who could be bought over with just food.
“Hmph! I don’t want it!”
Belle hummed and threw one of the bags back into the box before opening up the bag of original–flavor beef jerky. She then took out a piece to feed Sean before grabbing another for herself.

Her eyes immediately squinted with pleasure. “Ah, this jerky is just
amazing!”
She then fed Sean another piece. “Isn’t this delicious?”
Sean bit into the beef jerky she held up to him. As he chewed, he nodded. “Yes. It’s really good. It’s so amazing. It’s just perfect!”
“Yeah. This has to be the best jerky I have ever eaten.”
Jon gulped and kept glancing at Belle. His mouth opened and closed with drool shimmering between his lips. Eventually, he could not hold back any longer and tentatively asked, “How delicious is it?”
Belle looked at him and blinked as though she was trying to think of a way to describe how delicious the jerky was.
That immediately got Jon so excited that he licked his lips and hopped out of his chair to charge over to Belle. Shoving the container to the site, he then climbed onto the redwood couch to sit beside her.
Belle smiled as she fed him a piece of beef jerky. “Try it yourself, Jon.
Isn’t it delicious?”
Jon took the whole piece into his mouth, causing a burst of jerky scent to fill his entire mouth. His eyes lit up with pleasure as he nodded hard. “It’s just amazing.”
“I didn’t lie to you, right?”
“You did not. It’s really good.”

As soon as Jon swallowed his piece, Belle shoved another piece into his lips
as if she wanted to make sure he would eat more.
Sean did not say a word and silently glanced at Jon with a proud smirk on his lips.
Heh. Did Jon think he could win against Sean?
By the time the movie was over, it was 9.00 p.m. Sean made sure the children washed up and brushed their teeth. As usual, he stood by the doorway and

As they had just eaten, Jon made sure to brush every nook and cranny in his mouth before spitting out the excess toothpaste. When he turned around, he found Sean staring at him with a smile in his eyes.
Jon scratched his head. How should he react to this?
Sean chuckled. When he saw that Belle was done brushing her teeth, he wave them over. “Don’t just stand there. It’s bedtime.”
“Okay!”
Belle obediently hopped off her stool. When she saw that Jon had hopped ou as well, she grabbed his chubby hand before dragging him over to walk behind Sean.
“Jon, let me tell you something,” Belle said in a deliberately soft whisper.

“Jon, let me tell you something,” Belle said in a deliberately soft whisper.
“We are sleeping under his roof and eating his food. We need to be nicer to him. Stop looking so sour and just be politer.”
It was just like the saying, “You scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours.” Despite the sour look on Jon’s face, he still grunted in assent.
Once the two children were fast asleep in their bed, Sean closed the door to
their room and headed back to his room.
Suddenly, strong gusts of wind blew past the window, whistling loudly as they sent leaves spiraling down to the ground.
While Silverton did not have a rainy season, there was always heavy rainfall
during summer.
Lightning flashed as thunder roared. Soon, fat drops of rain started falling from the sky and splashing against the window. The loud pitter–patter of the rain echoed through the room.
Sean closed the window and pulled the curtains before grabbing his sleepwear He then headed into his bathroom to get ready for bed.
Twenty minutes later, he walked out, dressed in his sleepwear. Just then, his phone rang. He walked over to grab it while drying his hair with a towel.
It was a call from Jason. He frowned.
“It’s raining hard, Mr. Sean. Xander is still kneeling outside the gates. He has been there for hours. Nothing I say will get him to leave. What do we

Was Xander threatening him?
Sean sat down on his bed. “Call Evelyn and tell her Xander’s condition. If she doesn’t care what happens, you don’t need to either.”
This was the Morgans‘ family business. He had no duty to help the Morgans
with their kids. If Xander’s mother did not care for him, the care of a
distant relative would only have others calling him meddlesome.
Outside, the wind howled as heavy rain poured.
Jason glanced at Xander who was kneeling by the mansion gates and helplessly shook his head.
He called Evelyn and kept the phone by his ear as he waited.
Soon, he heard Evelyn’s voice. “It’s late, Mr. Vanderson.”
Jason sighed once more. “Your son is kneeling before Mr. Sean’s mansion gates. He said there’s nowhere else he can go. It’s raining hard here. Please come and pick him up.”
“What did Mr. Sean say?”
“He said if you don’t care about your son, we won’t either.”
“Let him kneel then! It’ll get him to sober up!”
The call ended with a loud smack. Jason stared at his phone in confusion. He had not imagined Evelyn to be so heartless.

Sean was right. Since Evelyn did not care, then they should not care what happened since they were more strangers than distant relatives at this point.
Glancing out at Xander who was kneeling in the rain, Jason shook his head once more. He then walked back into the mansion with his umbrella in hand. It was not because he did not want to help Xander, but there was nothing he could do.
After his shower and before he turned in for the night, Jason received a call from the door guard. “Mr. Vanderson, that brat fainted. What do we do? Do we just leave him be?”
Fainted?
Jason’s heart sank as he hurriedly replied, “You should’ve just called 911 for an ambulance. If we keep ignoring him, we might end up letting him die on Mr. Sean’s property!”
The sun shone brightly the very next morning.
Evelyn gazed at her son who was lying in bed as sorrow filled her heart.
The doctors had said he fainted due to malnourishment, extreme stress, the long hours he had spent kneeling, and the rain he endured.
Xander was a boy spoiled from birth. His friends were all fake friends who distanced themselves from him the moment they knew the Morgans had kicked him
out.
