You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 395

Grayson stayed silent as he thought of how it was like a public social execution for Sebastian to ask him in front of so many others. Breaking out in a cold sweat, he said, "Sebastian, I wasn't thinking straight when I said that. I just said it in passing…"

"I'll give you the time to slowly think of a response. Tell me when you're done thinking." Sebastian looked at him with a faint elegant smile.

Although Sebastian's expression wasn't scary, Grayson's cold sweat seemed to have worsened as he looked at him. In truth, he wasn't all that worried about himself, as he wouldn't mind such humiliation even in front of others. Since he grew up together with Andrew and the others, he knew them well to the extent that he even knew where each of their birthmarks was on their bodies. Hence, he had nothing to hide from them, so he wouldn't be embarrassed even if Sebastian were to publicly reprimand him in front of them. In fact, he was more concerned about Ann's state of mind.

As the Hart Family severing ties with Ann was not a public matter, Grayson felt that Sebastian wouldn't have said anything about it to the others here. However, they were all present. That meant that Sebastian was putting him on the spot by asking about his stance, as doing so would inevitably let the others know how much Sebastian disliked Ann and that the Hart Family had severed ties with her. However, there was a question floating in his mind: Why did Sebastian break off his relationship with Ann?

Among the people who had grown up together with Sebastian, there weren't any secrets between them, provided it wasn't a family secret. It was inevitable that they would come to know of the fact that Ann had drugged Sebastian. It's not really an honorable thing to do… No, I should say that it's something despicable, Grayson thought. Once the others knew of what Ann had done, he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold her head up high in front of them in the future. T-Then, how am I supposed to marry her? Once they knew about Ann's deeds of drugging Sebastian, they would think Grayson was out of his mind if he went ahead and married her anyway. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt as his cold sweat continued to worsen.

Without rushing him, Sebastian fed Joel a piece of dessert that he had the manager personally bring over. "Buddy, do you want this?"

"Yes!" Joel became happier upon seeing the food. He then opened his mouth wide and devoured the piece of dessert Sebastian fed him.

Sebastian then took another piece and continued feeding the child.


The others in the room weren't idling about as well. Since the manager was competent in his job, he had served them several dishes in no time at all. Some of them ate, some of them drank, and some of them chatted. Although they were all busy with their respective careers, they would get together every now and then. However, sometimes, some of them might be on a business trip or might be too busy to make it to the gathering, so it was no easy task for all of them to actually be present, which was why they were busy talking to each other at the moment.

Soon, ten minutes passed. Sebastian looked at Grayson and asked, "Still not done?"

"… I'm done thinking," said Grayson.

After Sebastian fed Joel another piece of fruit, he methodically wiped his fingers with wet wipes. "If so, do tell us your thoughts."

Grayson could only be candid at this point. "That was not done in a fit of anger. I know you are serious, Sebastian."

"Very good," Sebastian said while nodding. "Since you do know that I was serious, why did you lie to Madeline? What did you say to her again? That Ann is still part of the family in the end? Do you still think that to be true?"

"Not anymore…" Although Grayson wasn't afraid to lose his reputation in front of the others, being questioned by Sebastian as though he was a child made him upset. Hoping that this public act of humiliation would be over soon, he said quickly, "Sebastian, I was wrong. It was just a slip of the tongue. I hope you and Madeline will forgive me."

"Alright, I forgive you. You are my brother after all. It was just a slip of the tongue. Since you already seem to feel sorry, I won't push this matter anymore. However…" Looking at Grayson, Sebastian said slowly, "Ann had scolded your nephew and had even raised her hands to him. What do you think about that?"

Grayson was at a loss for words, as he knew it was a loaded question. If he answered that he thought nothing of it, it would seem that he failed as an uncle. On the other hand, if he answered that Ann was wrong for doing so, his brother would no doubt follow up by asking him what should be done. He was truly stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Noticing the situation gradually taking a turn for the worse, Ann stood up and said in tears, "Sebastian, my cousin. I understand now; I was at fault. I only got angry and lost control of myself because he pointed at me and said that I was a bad person. Please forgive me, Sebastian! I won't do something like this ever again!"

Sebastian said indifferently, "I am no longer your cousin. Seeing that you are a woman, I'll only give you one last chance. If there is a next time…" Then, he turned his gaze to Quinton.

"Understood! If there's a next time, I will give her a big slap without waiting for your instructions," Quinton said.

Ann's face grew paler at Quinton's words.
