“Uncle Seth, what is an NC-17 movie?” asked Chesney Shaw curiously.
“It’s not for children, so don’t ask about it,” said Seth Leeds while chuckling.
Julian Shaw was already rendered speechless, so he picked up Chesney and pointed at Seth before saying, “My daughter, remember this man. Stay away from him from now on.”
Chesney knew that her father was just joking and could not help giggling aloud.
“So, what movie did the two of you actually watch?” Serenity Wright could not help asking. Her eyes were glistening with excitement.
Anna Wright lowered her head and said weakly, “It’s not considered a movie. It’s a documentary titled ‘The Origin of The Universe’.”
The entire group of people was rendered speechless.
Seth could not refrain from patting Jacob Shelby’s shoulder. “You’re going to be forever alone. You’re going to be forever alone.”
“Uncle Seth, what does ‘forever alone’ mean?” asked Chesney.
“Destined to be alone for the rest of one’s life,” said Seth while laughing.
“You shouldn’t say that about Uncle Jacob. Uncle Jacob has Aunty Anna, who likes him. It would be more appropriate to use it to describe you,” said Chesney in all apparent seriousness.
He was under fire once again.
Seth assumed a threatening posture as though he was about to catch Chesney. Chesney could not help giggling and running away.
It was a joyous scene.
Jacob could not help looking at Anna Wright.
She had her head lowered in the meantime and was giving off the vibe that she was looking for a hole to bore into.
Anna liked him?
Jacob helplessly lowered his gaze and analyzed his feelings rationally.
Now that Anna’s thoughts had been revealed by Chessie’s frankness, he discovered that he was feeling a faint sense of joy in his heart.
Could he also have feelings for Anna?
Jacob suppressed the throbbing sensation in his chest.
No, he did not have the right to like a person.
Anna was a good maiden, and he should not waste her time.
“She’s following a bad example. Chessie is following the bad example set by you two.” Seth heaved a sigh.
Julian and Jacob did not manage to respond in time.
Chesney was already staring at Seth with teary eyes. “Uncle, did you say that I’m following a bad example? Don’t you love me anymore?”
“No, no. I didn’t mean that.” Seth panicked instantly. He squatted down to pacify Chessie for a long time before Chessie’s tears finally turned into a smile.
Chesney seized the chance when Seth was not looking to take a glance in the direction of Julian and Susan and made a peace sign with her hand proudly.
Susan could not help laughing despite herself.
She said softly, “Our little girl Chessie is really quirky. Whoever marries her in the future is going to suffer.”
“Marries her?” Julian could not help pulling a long face. “Who’s going to marry Chessie?”
Julian’s tone of speech sounded rather furious, and Susan could not help feeling rather speechless. “Could Chessie not get married when she’s older?”
“What’s wrong with not getting married?” A deep sense of crisis filled Julian’s heart. “I’ll take care of Chessie for the rest of my life!”
His daughter was so adorable and intelligent. Julian loved and treasured her very much.
At the thought of a good daughter like her being seized away by some brat in the future, Julian did not feel so good.
“You’re impossible…” Susan could not help laughing. “Chessie is still young now. You can worry about these matters in the future.”
Madam Shaw’s resonant voice could be heard as soon as they arrived at the entrance.
Julian and Susan walked over, and their presence was noticed by Madam Shaw’s sharp eyes.
“Julian.” Joy flashed past Madam Shaw’s expression at once. “You’re finally here. This person is actually stopping me from entering the premises.”
“Young master…” The gatekeeper looked at Julian awkwardly.
“It’s fine, you may continue to work at ease.” Julian pacified the gatekeeper and then said, “Mom, it’s your first time here. He doesn’t know you, so he naturally has to stop you.”
Madam Shaw was still displeased but did not comment further.
“Mom,” said Susan softly while looking at her.
Madam Shaw took a glance at Susan and then scoffed coldly. “You look rather healthy. It seems that you’ve been living a comfortable life for the past few years.”
Madam Shaw’s tone sounded strange, and there was no telling what she meant by that either.
Susan could only say, “Mom, you look healthy too.”
Madam Shaw took a side glance at her before she told Julian straightforwardly, “Julian, I’m not planning to go back after this trip for the time being. Look, I brought all my luggage here. Send someone to bring it in and then arrange a room for me. I may be staying long.”
Madam Shaw wanted to stay long?
Susan’s heart started racing.
She was capable of behaving herself properly around Madam Shaw on the surface, yet staying together for a long time could be…
Sensing Susan’s restlessness, Julian held her hand to soothe her and said, “It would be good for you to move to Skyking City, Mom. I coincidentally have another villa nearby. Let me make some arrangements and you’ll be able to move in by tonight.”
“Nearby?” Madam Shaw furrowed her brows. “My son has a house, yet I still have to live on my own? I’m going to stay with all of you this time.”
Madam Shaw decided that her main mission this time was to make Susan bear a son for the Shaws as soon as possible!
