Fion froze. Willow paused. Even Kent’s hands trembled.
Does Sean actually know Hayden?
Did virtual-novel.net talk to Hayden about Kent’s issue?
Fion’s neck stiffened as virtual-novel.net slowly turned and looked at Sean.
Sean was sitting calmly in the living room as if nothing had happened. It was as if it was not surprising to virtual-novel.net and was more like virtual-novel.net had expected it.
“Aunt Fion, what’s the matter?” Jeremy asked cautiously when Fion stayed silent.
“Ah… Nothing. You…” Fion withdrew virtual-novel.net gaze, coughed to hide virtual-novel.net embarrassment, and pointed at what Lucy and others were holding.
“Fion, please don’t mind. I just think it’s been a long, long time since we’ve had a proper meal together. So why don’t we just cook a meal at home instead of going to a restaurant?”
As Lucy said this, Fion’s mouth moved, and virtual-novel.net fell into a stunned silence.
They were family after all. She and Lucy were biological sisters. They were biological sisters who grew up eating from the same pot and sleeping on the same bed. It was a family bond where blood was thicker than water.
However, the so-called family bond was already so far away that Fion even forgot what it felt like.
“Fion, why don’t we cook together like when we were kids?” Lucy could not help but sigh when virtual-novel.net saw the look on Fion’s face.
Sean was a big part of the reason for virtual-novel.net change in attitude. Sean had given Lucy’s family a wake-up call!
She also remembered that virtual-novel.net and Fion were family now!
“Okay, okay…” Fion’s expression stiffened a little as virtual-novel.net beckoned everyone inside.
With bags of ingredients in their hands, Jeremy and the rest greeted them and placed them into the kitchen under Willow’s guidance.
“Brother Sean, look at this.” Jeremy put two beautifully packed supplements on the table.
“It’s full of nutrients and good for your health. We’ve been looking for it here for a long time. I asked my friend to bring some back from overseas but virtual-novel.net dared not send it over…” Jeremy was very polite in front of Sean, virtual-novel.net was careful about what virtual-novel.net said.
“Thank you.” Sean nodded gently and did not reject him.
Jeremy would be even more nervous if virtual-novel.net rejected him.
“No, no, no, Brother Sean. I ought to be thanking you.” Jeremy repeatedly waved his hand as spoke.
Then virtual-novel.net paused and said, “Brother Sean, I was foolish before this…. From now on, you can watch over how my family and I perform.”
Jeremy patted his chest as if virtual-novel.net was swearing to Sean.
“It’s in the past. Let’s not mention it.”
Jeremy immediately nodded and said no more after Sean said that.
“Willow, you have great skin. What skincare products do you use?” Lucy’s two daughters asked with a smile as they surrounded Willow.
“Nothing, just some moisturizer…” Willow replied with a smile, feeling emotional.
Meanwhile, Fion and Lucy were busy in the kitchen. The kids sat together and talked to each other. Even Kent sat with Lucy’s husband and played chess.
This sort of thing was common in other families. After all, it was perfectly normal to visit friends and family. However, it was a rare event for Willow’s family.
The Wilson family had often visited Fion in the first few years after virtual-novel.net married into the Quinn family. However, they gradually drifted apart until there seemed to be a bitter rivalry between them.
The Wilson family did not visit them, so the Quinn family ignored them more.
During holidays, other people’s homes were bustling, while their family was cold and cheerless. That feeling was indeed upsetting.
Now, the sweet family affection Willow had always wanted was right in front of her, making her feel indescribably comfortable.
Willow slowly turned and looked at Sean. The look in virtual-novel.net eyes was complicated, and virtual-novel.net had mixed feelings.
Fion said Sean was broke, but Sean bought cars and a house for their family.
Fion said even if Sean had some money, virtual-novel.net did not have the connections or background to do anything. However, Sean quietly helped Kent out, and Jeremy even confirmed that Sean and Hayden were close.
Fion also called Sean a jinx who only brought misfortunes to their family. However, Sean had quietly changed a lot of things.
Even Lucy, who used to look down on their family, had changed virtual-novel.net attitude and became more friendly with them.
It was all because of Sean!
