Chapter 586 Don''t Make Me Beg On My Knees
Lilly took a look at the house.
Aunt Mnie didn''t get angry outside that easily, but she seemed to re up all the time in this house.
She had already gotten rid of the bad aura, but it was still going to take a little time to get used to
things.
"Aunt Melissa, you can''t just say bad things about Sean like that. It''s not very nice," Lilly said.
Cathy''s mother stopped, taking a breath. "You don''t understand Sean. He''s just like that, always so
impatient with his sister. He would even fight over things with his sister."
"He''s almost thirteen now, but his sister''s so young. Do you think it''s right to fight with a toddler?"
Lilly gave it some thought. "My Grandma always says that you must be fair with loving children, and
give an equal amount of care to every child or there''ll be a problem for sure."
"I''ve got a brother who''s like that too. His mother only likes his sister, and not him. Though Zachary
doesn''t fight over things, but instead refuses anything other people give him… I feel like Sean and

Zachary are the same…"
Lilly had especially taken note of when he had sat on the sofa and maxed out the volume on his
headphones, and felt at once that he was a rather lonely person.
Lilly was like a little adult, making sense with every word she said.
Cathy''s mother held on to Cathy, falling silent.
She cracked a bitter smile. "You''re right… alright, let''s not talk about that. Let''s wash our hands, and
get ready to eat!"
She put Cathy down, and Lilly led Cathy off to wash their hands. "Cathy and I are going to go get
Sean!"
But Aunt Melissa said, "Don''t bother with him! He''lle out here to eat if he''s hungry, he won''t starve!
There''s no point in calling for him, anyways. He''s just like that, shutting himself in his room whenever
he''s angry. Even his Dad can''t do anything.
Lilly asked, "How would you know if you don''t try?"
Aunt Melissa watched as Lilly went knocking on the door, and could not help but shake her head. There
was no way Sean woulde out— she knew him too well.
Lilly knocked on the door with Cathy in tow.
Knock knock knock.
Lilly said, "Sean, open up!"
Cathy said, "Sean… open up, open up!"
Lilly said, "Open the door, it''s Lilly!"
Cathy said, "Open the door, it''s Cathy!"
Lilly began to giggle, lying by the door. "Sean,e out to eat! I can hear your stomach growling from
here!"
Cathyy by the door as well, calling out excitedly, "Your tummy''s making noise, Sean!"
The door mmed open.
Sean stood at the door, ring at the both of them. "You''re so noisy! I don''t want to eat, stop disturbing
me! I''ll bash your brains in if you keep making noise."
He wanted to close the door after that.
Only for Lilly to reach out and hold the door open forcefully, another hand on her hip. "Sean, I''d advise
you to be smart about this! Don''t make me beg you on my knees!"
Cathy said, “Be smart about this! Don''t make me beg you on my knees!”
He found that he could not bring himself to get angry in front of the two little kids.
Even his frustration from early seemed to magically dissipate and take a turn for the better.
"I don''t want to eat, stop it." He wanted to close the door, but found that he could not move it.
Sean exerted more force in secret, but the door refused to budge still. Sean could hardly contain his
shock— was Lilly that strong?
Upon second nce though, there was a shadow in front of him. ke had somehow appeared at the
door.
Oh, this was the person holding it…
ke lowered his gaze, staring down at Sean. "Come out and eat. Don''t make me make you beg on
your knees."
What the…
Sean scoffed loudly, walking out to eat reluctantly.
He set down his cutlery forcefully, nging the utensils about loudly.
Cathy''s father''s expression darkened. "Behave when you eat! Go to your room if you don''t want to
behave!"
Sean''s mood dropped again all at once from when it was originally taking a turn for the better. "As if I
want to eat! You insisted on getting me toe out against all odds!"
He held his fork, and was about to m it onto the table.
ke nced at him.
Sean''s hand trembled, and he tightened his grip around his fork. Let alone m it— he did not even
dare drop it.
Frustration filled his chest. Who did this man think he was?
Sticking his nose in others'' business!
Who was he to meddle in other families'' affairs?
Yet despite thinking so, Sean did not dare to show it. He had a gut feeling that ke might chop him
into pieces if Sean were to piss him off. It was only his first time meeting ke, but there was just a
default sense of fear of him in Sean.
Cathy''s mother said, "Come on, eat! Just eat your food first!"
She tugged at Cathy''s father lightly.
Cathy''s father lowered his head, refusing to say anything more.
Cathy''s family was not as luxurious as the Crawfords'', and dinner consisted of pretty simple dishes.
Bamboo shoots and minced meat, pork with bell peppers, steamed chicken, fish with spring onions and
ginger, sweet and sour ribs…
Yet upon closer look, it could be seen that there was a small portion of every dish with chillies in it, and
every spicy version was put in front of Sean.
Cloud did not understand what was going on here. Cathy''s mother had asked before cooking if any of
them were alright with spicy food, and he''d said that neither him, Lilly or ke did.
That was why Cathy''s mother had taken a small portion of every dish, and made a smaller, spicy
version of it…
Cloud asked why, and she said that she and Cathy''s father didn''t like spicy food either— but Sean did.
It would be a waste to cook too much of it, which was why she had only made a small portion.
"Sean loves spice, he won''t eat anything that isn''t spicy."
"He likes dried bamboo shoots like this… that''s why I made a little more of this."
In the kitchen, Cathy''s mother seemed to pay great attention to everything that Sean liked or disliked.
She even knew that Sean disliked spring onions, and had thus taken out a bit of fish to make a spicy
sauce to pour over it instead.
Cloud nced at Sean. He was eating with a sour expression on his face, but only ate from the dishes
that were in front of him.
Maybe he had never paid closer attention to his mother doing all of this for him. Maybe he had, but was
used to it?
Sean was in the middle of reaching for a dish, when a hand reached out and took away the piece of
bamboo shoot he was about to take.
He stopped short.
No one had ever taken anything from his portions of food at home.
Sean raised his head, and saw that it was Lilly.
She hissed at the spice, chewing on the spicy bamboo shoot. "It''s so yummy! You''re such a good cook,
Aunt Melissa!"
Cathy''s mother scrambled to say, "Lilly, there''s a non-spicy version of that here. You…"
Lilly''s eyes were creased into little smiling crescents. "That''s alright! I like spicy food too!"
As she spoke, she took another piece of bamboo shoot.
Sean frowned, sneaking a nce at the rest of the table. It was only then that he noticed that the rest
of the table held dishes that weren''t spicy, and it was only dishes that he liked that were in front of him.
He pursed his lips, reaching out silently to get a piece of spicy fish.
Only for Lilly to reach out as well, snatching a bit of fish off the te in front of him.
"Whoa, this fish is so good! There aren''t any bones in it!"
It was only then that Sean realized that the fish that had always been ced in front of him had no
bones.
He had always thought that his mother picked out the best parts of the fish for his sister, and put the
rest of it into his bowl with just an extra sprinkle of chili on it to appease him.
Sean fell even more silent, not saying a word.
Cathy''s mother said, "I truly am so grateful to all of you. Cathy wouldn''t have made it through if it wasn''t
for you guys."
Cathy''s father said, "Yes, she really scared us this time. It''s never been this bad before, I was preparing
myself for the worst yesterday…"
Both parents were filled with terror at the mere thought of what had happened, Cathy''s mother
tightening her grip on Cathy in her arms.
Sean paused at once.
Cathy had fallen sick again yesterday…"
