Chapter 367


    The family of four had a hearty dinner. As long as the food was delicious, Sadie would be very


    happy.


    Seamus didn''t eat much for dinner. After a few moments, he sat on the side while looking at Sharon


    and Stanley from time to time. It was as if he was hesitating to utter what he had in mind.


    Sharon was busy taking care of Sadie, who would spill her food around the table. Apart from adding


    dishes to Sadie''s te, she also had to make sure that no food dropped on her daughter''s clothes.


    That was why she didn''t notice her son''s abnormal behavior for the time being.


    It was Stanley who detected it.


    After the meal, while Sharon was busy in the kitchen, Stanley came to his son and initiated a


    conversation with him.


    "Why are you so gloomy?"


    Seamus nced at him but didn''t say anything.


    "Was dinner not up to your taste?" He hadn''t eaten much during dinner, which was guite unusual for


    him.


    Turning his face away, Seamus did not respond to his father''s question.


    Stanley was surprised to find that even his son was so stubborn.


    He was slightly displeased because no one in the business field dared to give him a cold shoulder.


    However, he decided not to be so mean to his son this time around.


    "If you keep doing this, your mother will definitely find out that something is wrong with you. Do you


    want to make her worried?"


    As expected, Seamus nced at Sharon upon hearing that question.


    "Your mother has been very tired these days. Do you still want to let her figure out why you are


    unhappy after the shower?" Staring at his son, Stanley added, "That will make her mentally tired as


    well."


    As a filial child, Seamus replied, "I don''t want her to worry about me."


    "Well, then tell me why you are so sad?"


    Throwing him a nce, Seamus replied, "It''s because of you!"


    Stanley froze for a moment before raising an eyebrow. "Me?"


    "Yes."


    "Why is it so?"


    Seeing that he was so sincere, Seamus thought for a moment and answered, "Who''s the woman


    who slept at our house for the whole afternoon? Do you have a love affair outside?"


    A love affair?


    "Who taught you to speak like that?"


    Was that why he was unhappy? Did he worry Stanley would abandon the family after having a new


    woman?


    "The TV programs." Sadie furrowed his little brows. "Is there anything wrong with it?"


    What should Stanley do? Should he deliver a blow to his son''s self-confidence?"


    Let it be.


    "It''s actually different from what you have been thinking. I have nothing to do with the woman."


    After hearing his assurance, Seamus looked at him in disbelief. "But the woman wanted you to


    marry her."


    "Did you eavesdrop on the conversation?"


    "Her voice was too loud, and the house is not soundproof," Seamus muttered.


    It seemed that his son was very precocious.


    With his fingers knocking on the table, he looked at his son intently. "Then did you hear me saying


    that I won''t have anything to do with her in the future? I''ve even chased her out."


    As Seamus raised his eyebrows, he replied, "Well, men are untrustworthy sometimes in such


    matters."


    Stanley was rendered speechless.


    After regaining his senses, he cleared his throat and sat up straight. He must be extra careful when


    speaking to his son.


    In a serious tone, he said, "There is something that I need to tell you, but I think you have probably


    heard it before."


    "What is it?"


    "I was not around you over the past few years because I had an ident and lost my memory. I


    have forgotten both your mother and you, so I didn''te back to you."


    Then, he tried to enunciate as clearly as possible when he was about to reveal the identity of


    Ayana. "I met the woman when I lost my memory. She saved me once, but I did not have any


    feelings for her. I will only love your mother as well as you and your sister."


    Staring at him for a few seconds, Seamus nodded. "OK. I will trust you this time."


    That response was rather amusing to Stanley. "Oh, thank you."


    Touching his tummy, Seamus said, "I''m a little hungry now."


    It was thus apparent that he could not eat previously because of his worries. Now that everything


    had been rified, he suddenly felt an urge to eat.


    "Your mother has just cleaned everything. If you want to eat, go and prepare your meal yourself. I


    think there''s still a little food left. Let me heat it up for you in the microwave."


    "No problem."


    Seamus immediately nodded.


    With a smile, Stanley got up and hugged him. "Let''s go."


    Such intimate contact made Seamus a bit embarrassed, so his ears turned red.


    Once Sharon bathed Sadie and came out of the bathroom, she saw the lovely scene at the dining


    table. While Seamus was eating, Stanley was quietly reading his book.


    Stunned, she walked over and asked, "What''s going on?"


    "Our son wasn''t full just now," Stanley answered very calmly.


    Seamus looked at him with gratitude in his eyes because he didn''t want Sharon to know about his


    secret.


    Although she felt that there was something strange going on between them, she didn''t say anything.


    Following a pause, she said, "I will bathe you after this. Sadie is going to sleep."


    While enjoying his meal, Seamus responded, "Mom, you can apany Sadie. I''ll take a bath


    myself."


    That surprised her. "Really?"


    Over the past few years, she had always been the one who bathed the children. Why would he


    suddenly think of doing it himself?


    "I''m no longer a kid. I can take a bath myself, or else I will feel embarrassed."


    Words eluded her at that moment.


    It seemed that Seamus had grown up, for he would feel shy in front of a woman.


    Following a chuckle, she said, "Good to know that. You can take a bath yourself. Remember to call


    me if there''s any problem."


    Just then, Stanley, who was reading at the side, interrupted, "I can help if he faces any trouble. You


    may go and apany Sadie."


    In response, she nodded at the two of them.


    Although Seamus was still young, he still felt shy because of his gender. That was why he didn''t


    want his mother to get close to him when he was taking a bath. His father, on the other hand, would


    make him feel morefortable.

    Upon giving him some instructions, Sharon went back to the room.


    ncing at his father sitting opposite him, Seamus said, "Thank you."


    "You''re wee."


    "I''d like to ask you a favor."


    "What is it?"


    "Don''t tell Mom what I said just now. Otherwise, she will be worried about me and think that I have


    been overthinking. She will then ask Aunt Myers to talk to me again to see if what you have done


    has impacted my physical and mental development."


    Stunned, Stanley responded, "Sure, I''ll keep this a secret for you."


    Seamus thus let out a hum of agreement.


    However, Stanley still stared at him, which made him feel uneasy. Frowning, he said, "I can''t eat


    well if you keep looking at me like this."


    "Sorry." Stanley cleared his throat. "I''m just a little curious."


    "Curious about what?"


    "I wonder why I would have such a smart son. Was it because I did a lot of good deeds in my


    previous life?"


    Upon hearing that, Seamus was speechless.


    His face then turned red in an instant.
