Molly’s giving in elicited cheers from the triplets. “Uncle Sean, Uncle Sean, I painted a portrait with my
brothers today and I want to show you.” Claudia immediately ran to get her painting when she was
done speaking.
Sean took it and slowly rolled it open when he realized that the highlight of the art was him.
“Is this me?” Sean was a little shocked.
“Mhm. What do you think?” The triplets nodded with anticipation written all over their faces.
‘Would daddy like our painting? Would daddy praise us?’
Sean did not palter with them as he looked closely at their artwork.
The triplet’s art had a slightly childish touch to them, but it was done artistically. No matter the linings or
the paintings, everything was done almost perfectly.
It was rather obvious that the triplets were gifted in this.
“You’re amazing. This is the best painting I’ve seen in my life.” Sean did not hold back his compliments.
“Are you serious? Really?!” Claudia was smiling so hard that her eyes formed a line. “Then we’ll give
this painting to you, Uncle Sean.” “Sure, thank you very much, Claudia, Ben, and Alex. I love it.” Sean
smiled as he stretched his hand to pat Alex and Ben’s heads.
The triplets started to feel shy after being praised by their father, but their delight could not be hidden.
Alex looked down and let out a demure smile.
Molly watched them as she started to feel a hint of jealousy.
She thought to herself bitterly, ‘My love for them has gone to waste. They’ve never painted me
anything, ever!
The triplets were oblivious to Molly’s thoughts as they chatted away with Sean. The time flew by, and it
was already 10 pm. Molly took a look at the time.
“It’s ten o’clock now! What did you promise mommy just now? You haven’t forgotten it, have you?” The
triplets were interrupted by Molly when they were still busy talking with Sean.
She never coddled her children, so she rushed them to bed when the time came.
The triplets knew how to keep their words as they promised their mother back there.
They looked at Molly and reluctantly ended their happy conversation with their father.
“We’re going to bed now, Uncle Sean.”
“Goodnight, Uncle Sean.” “Mwah!”
The triplets kissed Sean goodnight after saying goodnight to him. Then, Molly went out with Sean.
The moon was clear in the twilight. Throughout the short journey from Molly’s house to Sean’s house,
Molly noticed Sean had looked at the painting a few times as if it was a treasure to him.
Molly smiled and did not tease him.
When they got into Sean’s house, Molly did not start with the needle treatment, which was what she
normally did.
It had been some time, so she wanted to see the result of Sean’s needle treatment.
“Aren’t you going to jab me with those needles?” Sean asked in confusion without waiting for Molly to
come over. “There’s no rush. I want to see and confirm the reaction of your muscles and decide
whether we need to tweak the treatment plan.” Molly walked closer to Sean as she spoke. “How would
you do that?” Sean was not as knowledgeable as Molly when it came to medicine. But Molly ignored
him and squatted down next to him as she started moving her hands. Her porcelain white fingers were
slender and strong, despite being dainty. She was pressing on certain areas on Sean’s thighs. “Do you
feel anything?”
