It was only then that Claire remembered Sean had been confessing his love for her. She had wanted to tell him that she was already the mother of two children, but before she could say anything, her children had run over.
This was fine. Now, she did not need to say anything.
She got to her feet. Holding Belle’s hand, she was about to introduce Joseph and her children to Sean when he shot her a deep look before walking away
from them.
Joseph was shocked. “W–What does he mean?”
Watching Sean walk away, Claire bit her lips and said in a self–deprecating manner, “Maybe he doesn’t like children.”
Long after Sean arrived back in his apartment, he could not shake off thoughts of those two children.
A scumbag and two children …
Just what had happened to Claire in the past four years?
He sat alone in the living room, staring blankly into the air for a long
time.
He did not know how much time had passed before he suddenly heard someo knocking on the door.
The knocks snapped Sean out of his thoughts, and he walked over to the
anartment door

The door swung open to reveal two children standing outside the apartment. The boy was dressed in a set of yellow duck pajamas while wearing a pair of slippers decorated with cartoon images. The girl was wearing a set of pajamas decorated with images of a certain yellow creature popular among kids while she held a yellow duck plush in her arms. They looked so very cute with their doe–like eyes staring up at him.
“Sir, can we borrow a room?”
Sean frowned when he saw the children.
He had been born as part of a well–respected generation of a family so big that he was in the same generation as the grandfathers of individuals older than him by decades and the same generation as the fathers of elderly men hobbling around on their canes.
Ever since he was a child, he had always carried himself with an aristocratic air. He was cold and stern, forever acting as someone who should be highly
respected.
Every child in his family was afraid of him. None of them dared to stay in the same room as him for more than five minutes.
In contrast, there was no fear to be seen within the bright eyes of the two children staring up at him. They were not afraid of him.
“Can’t you sleep in your own apartment?”
Dimples appeared on Belle’s cheeks as she smiled. Her already cute appearance was amplified by the existence of those dimples. She looked even cuter than the dolls sold by toy companies.

“We only have two bedrooms in our place, and we don’t want to sleep with
Julia.”
Upon mentioning Julia’s name, she pouted. It was clear she did not like Julia. “She grinds her teeth and snores when asleep. She even lets out farts that are very stinky.”
She even covered up her nose with her hands as though she could smell the
scent of those farts.
Jon scowled, twisting his handsome face into an upset look. “There’s not enough space for us to sleep in Mommy’s bed, so the two of us have to find another place to sleep by ourselves.”
Out of this entire building complex, only Claire’s and Sean’s apartments were occupied. The children did not need to borrow a room from Sean, but they had no choice. After knocking at multiple doors, Sean was the only one who answered the door.
Sean raised an eyebrow and lazily leaned against the door while putting on a fierce look. “Are you not afraid I am a bad man?”
Jon disdainfully scoffed. “I’m not stupid. I can tell that you like Mommy.”
Sean looked at Jon in surprise that such a young boy could know about this.
Jon did not care about Sean’s dignity and said, “Enough, Sir. Stop the act. We‘ re here to borrow a room so that you have a chance to get closer to Mommy. If you don’t want that, Belle and I will just sleep on our couch.”
Jon then grabbed Belle’s hand as if they were going to walk away right now. Sean looked at the children with a headache building behind his eyes.

lon felt like a miniature adult, just like how Sean acted when he was a young joy. The entire attitude could be summed up as “say yes or I’ll leave“. It nade it sound like Sean was begging the children to stay with him.
Was Jon more akin to Claire or his no–good father?
lealousy rose in Sean’s heart. However, the children were Claire’s, so he
could not bear to let them sleep on the couch. “Come in,” he said, taking a
step back to let the children in.
Belle happily smiled and ran in with her plush duck in hand. “Thank you,
Sir.”
Jon raised an eyebrow and strutted into the apartment with his hands in his yellow duck pajamas pockets. The way he acted made Sean’s eyelids twitch.
After closing the door, Sean walked over to the kitchen. “Since you’ll be sleeping in my place, I should at least know your names.”
As soon as the children saw that there was food, they hurriedly rushed over to watch. Belle licked her lips when she saw Sean pull out a steak from the This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
freezer.
When they arrived back at the apartment, Julia had eaten up every bite of food served during dinner. Claire had only made them a bowl of noodles each. The sight of meat made their mouths water.
Sean glanced at them. When he saw just how hungry they looked, he pulled out two more steaks from the freezer.
Belle grinned and politely called out, “Thank you, Sir.”

Sean chuckled. He liked polite children.
He placed a pan on the stove and turned on the fire while adding a slice of butter to it. As he waited for the butter to melt, he turned to look at them.
“You still haven’t told me your names.”
With her hands over her mouth, Belle said, “Tee–Hee.”
Jon rolled his eyes. “Haha.”
Sean frowned. “I’m only asking for your names. What’s so funny?”
Belle put her hands down and repeated herself, “Tee–Hee.”
Jon solemnly looked at him and said, “Haha.”
Was this what they called a generation gap?
What a huge gap in communication this was.
Sean picked up a steak and said in a threatening tone, “If you don’t tell me your names, I won’t be feeding you.”
Belle panicked. Her wide eyes blinked like she was about to cry. “My name is Tee–Hee Donovan while Jon is Haha Donovan.”
Sean was rendered speechless.
There are all sorts of strange oddities in this vast world they lived in, but Claire had been too nonchalant when naming her children!

Claire had been too nonchalant when naming her children!
Tee–Hee? Haha? He could not help but let out a “hoho“.
He did not believe them. “Downstairs, I heard your Mommy call you Belle and
Jon. Tee–Hee and Haha must be nicknames, right?”
“No,” Belle patiently explained as she stared at the steak in his hands. “Belle and Jon are our nicknames. Our legal names are Tee–Hee and Haha.”
Sean silently stared.
Fine.
While their real names were very much casual, Claire had some class when giving them nicknames.
This was hilarious. Claire was a famous novelist and an actual screenwriter, yet these were the names she had chosen for her own children.
