Chapter 14 Hot Pot or Jealous?
“Ah-choo”
Three sneezes brought them back to reality.
Freya pushed Seth away and saw the culprit in his hand; she immediately put the huge bouquet of bright red roses away.
She rushed back and checked Jaden and Jayla’s red little faces, fortunately, this time there were just a few bumps, nothing too serious.
“Jaden, Jayla, how are you feeling? Is your face itchy?” Freya looked at them with concern.
“Mommy, I’m fine.” Jayla shook her head, but Jaden’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Kieran’s handsome face.
Uncle Kieran just sneezed too, and his face was just like his own, a few bumps appeared as well, he and Jayla were allergic to pollen. When they got it checked in the hospital, the doctor said it was likely they inherited it; he always thought they inherited it from their Daddy, but they didn’t expect to have inherited it from Uncle Kieran.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Babies, what happened to you? Why would you suddenly sneeze?” Seth pinched Jaden and Jayla’s little red face with concern, “There are red spots as well, kids, are you allergic to pollen like Uncle Kieran?”
“Yeah, Daddy, we are allergic to poll… Ah-choo!” Before Jayla could finish, she started to sneeze again.
As if he thought of something, Seth’s expression stiffened for a second.
But almost immediately, he changed back to his sunshine cute boy’s look, he laughed dryly, “This… this is inherited across generations, it’s really amazing…”
In one instance, he held Jaden and Jayla’s hands with guilt and said, “I’m sorry babies, I didn’t know you were allergic to pollen, if I had known, I would have given your Mommy something else.”
“Daddy, we are fine! My face is not itchy at all this time!” Jayla rubbed Seth’s face like an adult, “Daddy, please don’t feel guilty! I thought you said we are having hot pot tonight, let’s just have hot pot right now, I really want to have hot pot!”
“Alright baby, we will go and eat hot pot right now.” Seth picked Jayla up and walked towards the mansion in big strides.
Jayla took a look at Kieran secretly, she stuck her tongue out, she felt like she was such a traitor, Daddy was so good to her, but still, sometimes she hoped that Mommy could be with Uncle Kieran.
To take better care of the twins, Seth hired a few nannies.
The nannies already prepared the food; the hot pot was steaming and very appetizing. Jaden was starving, his stomach grumbled. He picked up the chopsticks with his left hand and took a piece of the delicious mutton.
Just as Jaden was about to put the mutton into his mouth, he noticed that Kieran took some potato, with his left hand as well.
Jaden couldn’t help but glance at Seth, noticing that Seth was getting food for Freya, but he was using his right hand.
Jaden’s eyes darkened, he and Daddy are genetic father and son, but why, when it comes to looks, personalities, and other aspects, was he more like Uncle Kieran?
“Boss, you need to eat more, you are too thin.” Seth put a piece of shrink into Freya’s bowl, “Boss, I remembered you used to love shrimp!”
After hearing what Seth had said, Kieran somehow picked up a piece of shrimp as well, he was going to put it into Freya’s bowl, and he stopped after he almost reached it.
What was he doing?!
“Sethy, you don’t have to do this, I could eat on my own, you know.” Looking at her bowl she saw mountains of food, she said somewhat feeling resigned.
“Boss, you know, I just love servicing you!” Seth didn’t know she was trying to stop him, he said, fawningly.
“Sethy, you could eat some yourself, hot pot is meant to be eaten while it’s hot.” Freya was going to say, with him staring at her like that, she couldn’t eat, but she didn’t want to hurt his feelings, so she was discreet about it.
“Boss, you are so nice to me!” Seth was looking so touched, all of a sudden, he rubbed against Freya, hugged her arm; put his head on her shoulder like a puppy.
“Boss, sometimes I would feel like this is a dream, we had children together. And I feel so happy like it isn’t real. Boss, I’m really afraid that this is only a dream…”
“Boss, you and the twins, you won’t leave me, right?”
Kieran looked at Seth’s hand which was on Freya’s arm, his hand paused, and the chopsticks fell on the table.
His chest felt so uncomfortable, he couldn’t eat anymore.
He looked away from Freya and Seth, “Something came up, and I have to head back first.”
Seth was looking forward to seeing Kieran leave; he didn’t ask him to stay for longer. He hugged Freya’s arm, “Boss if you didn’t leave five years ago, we wouldn’t have missed so many years together.”
Freya pushed him away like nothing, “I thought you left first that night?”
“Really?” Seth froze, he thought about what happened today and the woman.
Maybe that woman was really the one who was with him that night?!
Seth was looking at Jaden who was using his left hand to eat, Could it be that the boss went to Uncle Kieran’s room?!
And the twins were also the children of Uncle Kieran?!
What about Alisha? What’s going on with her?
Seth has yet to recover from the mess, he heard Freya say, “Sethy, I have something to tell you.”
“I have always thought of you as a friend, and friends only, even with Jaden and Jayla…”
Seth is not stupid, hearing what she said; he knew she was going to refuse him.
His face paled, but he tried his best to put on a fake smile, “Boss, we should eat now, eat, we will talk later.”
Freya knew he was changing the topic, but she had to say it out loud, if you didn’t like someone, still you led them on, that’s the cruelest thing.
Just as she was about to talk, her phone rang like crazy.
Immediately after she picked up, she heard Fabian’s panicked voice, “Dr. Stahler, are you free right now? Fitz is really sick right now. Could you come over?!”
