Chapter 45 Missing Children

After searing the steaks, Sean served them on intricate plates placed on a hardwood table while forks and knives were laid out next to the plates.

Sean had just picked up his cutlery when he was suddenly struck by a thought. He looked up at the children and asked, “Do you need me to cut them up?”

“Thanks, but it’s fine, Sir.””

Belle picked up her cutlery and started cutting. While it took a lot of effort to cut into her steak, she did not complain at all. Jon did not look as awkward as Belle as he cut into his steak, but he was not that successful

sleep.”

Jon pouted and followed Sean with Belle beside him.

Fortunately, Sean had Victor prepare a guest bedroom that was occupied by a king–sized bed. There was enough bed space for the two children.

After tucking them in, Sean patiently asked, “Do you need me to tell you a bedtime story?”

Jon poked his head out of the blanket with his nose wrinkled in disgust. “We’re not babies. Why would we need bedtime stories?”

Sean silently stared.

Well, perhaps he was offering too much.
