Chapter 26
Sean’s eyes moved slightly. He then looked at Molly from head to toes without turning a hair. Tony was a little surprised too. He asked with a smile, “Dr. May, your charm is so outstanding. I wonder which part of the country could raise such an excellent person like you?” Be it her looks or the way she talks, Molly’s behavior was clearly different from the others. Tony could not help but guess she was from some hidden family since her medical skills were so good. Molly snapped back. She smiled faintly, but there was a hint of bitterness in her eyes. The look on her face made it obvious that she didn’t want to talk about this. Sean noticed it and threw Tony a glance coldly to stop him from asking further. Their relationship was nothing more than doctor and patient. There was no need to pry into every detail since everybody had a past they wished to erase.
Tony realized it and kept quiet. He did not ask any further.

Coincidentally, Molly’s phone rang!
She took it out and saw that it was from her grandfather. She walked to the side before she picked it up. “Grandpa?”
"Molly, how are you settling down?" Grandpa Dave's vigorous and hearty voice came from the other side of the phone as he asked out of concern. Molly could not help but flash a smile across her face as soon as she heard her grandfather's voice. She answered honestly, "Not bad. The little ones kept asking to see you. After a few days. I'll pick you up to live with us." Alex saw his mother talking on the phone concentratedly and was not paying attention to what was happening on his side, so he leaned toward Sean. "Mister, what other things do you like to do if you're not working?"
He wanted to know about his father's hobbies.
"I like to catch some fresh air," Sean answered nonchalantly with a slight dark gaze.
He could not say that he liked to take a walk in that state.
Ben continued to ask, "With Uncle Tony?"
Sean nodded coldly. "Oh, no! He's so pitiful." Ben wrinkled his little nose and pouted to express his deep sympathy.
Tony could not keep a straight face after looking at Ben's expression. He lifted his brow and asked, "Little guy, what do you mean by that? Are you feeling disgusted by me?"
His boss did not say anything, but this little thing put on such an indescribable look instead. It was quite hurtful to a person's self-esteem.
Ben pouted and said, "How could I not be? He's so handsome. It's fine that he doesn't have a
girlfriend, but I can't stand the fact that he has to be with a big man like you the entire time. Sigh! How pitiful!"
He sighed heavily.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Sean heard it and thought that it was funny. He lifted the corner of his mouth and showed that he agreed. "Now that you mention it, I really do think I'm quite pitiful."
Tony choked. He did not expect that his boss would say something like that.
He felt like weeping, but he had no tears. His boss never once said anything like this before!
"We'll keep you company from now on then!" Claudia ran to his side and threw herself on Sean's legs. She looked adorable as she said while holding Sean's hand affectionately. "Mister, I'll tell you what, we even got ourselves three pets! They're very cute, but they're still on their way here. They'll be here in a few days, and we will all keep you company by then, so you won't have to be pitiful anymore!",
"Yes!" Ben nodded heavily. He said confidently while putting his hands on his hips to hold his little belly up. "Just look for us whenever you want to catch some fresh air in the future. We'll keep you company! You won't have to look at Uncle Tony's face every day anymore as it'll probably make you suffer from aesthetic fatigue.' Tony laughed uncontrollably.
This little one really had his own way of talking. It was so interesting.
