You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 145 He Got What He Wanted

Since she was worried that the nap would only disrupt the children’s sleep cycle at night, Madeline woke Quincy and Joel up after an hour, not wanting to let them sleep in any longer.

Quincy woke up as soon as she called him, and after lying in bed to wait for the grogginess to pass, he slipped down from the mattress and headed into the shower to wash up.

Joel, on the other hand, was a stubborn one; he refused to get up even after Madeline had tried to wake him up several times.

Sebastian couldn’t help thinking that his son was adorable even while he was throwing a tantrum. As he smiled indulgently, he pulled the little boy into his arms and pinched his chubby cheeks. “Come on, let’s wake up and have some fruits and drinks before we go hiking.”

The hills and mountains made up the backyard of the Hart Residence. In fact, it was as if their backyard had been carved out of the hills themselves.

There were plenty of exotic fruits and woodland creatures like game birds and hares in the hills, and Joel often discovered new things on each hike. He treated it as something like a treasure hunt.

He woke up immediately at the thought of this. He moved around in Sebastian’s embrace until he could wrap his arms around the latter’s neck and cheered, “Hiking! Hiking!”

“Good boy,” Sebastian praised as he patted the kid’s back. “Come on, let’s wash up.”

Joel tumbled out of bed happily and ran into the bathroom to splash water on his face.

Meanwhile, Madeline watched Joel’s retreating little figure and gave an exasperated shake of her head. She turned to look at Sebastian and asked in a somewhat accusatory tone, “I take it you won’t be going to the company today?”

For the president of a large enterprise, he didn’t seem the least bit concerned about doing actual work—in fact, he was taking time off every two or three days. “Lucas is keeping an eye on things there,” he said as he put on a change of clothes. “Relax, the company’s doing just fine without me, and even if it isn’t, our family is rich enough to take care of the three of you for the rest of your lives. Cut me some slack, will you?”

She was at a loss for words. She was never too concerned about not having someone to provide for her family of three; she was only asking about his job because he seemed a little too insouciant about it for comfort. It was like he didn’t take his work seriously at all.

to take care of, which limited her working hours, she would have worked twenty-four hours every day without fail. Also, the way he just said ‘our family’ makes it sound as if we really are a family… It does make me wonder what he’s implying.
