Sean's words made everyone freeze in shock.
Not only that, but even Sean himself seemed utterly stunned by this.It was undeniable that he envied Jim for having such a kind, loving mother, but...
Rosalyn was Jim's mother, so how could he call her that? Even though he and Jim were half-brothers, Rosalyn was not related to him at all! After a moment of pin-drop silence, the first person to regain her composure was Rosalyn.
She curled her lips into a smile, staring at Sean.
"I heard from Samuel that Lucy passed away when you were eleven.It's one thing to grow up without a parent and another thing entirely to find out that your beloved sister, the only family you knew, had been lying to you all this while...You must be very lonely, aren't you?"
She held Sean's hand and added, "If you don't mind, you and Jim can both be my sons from today onward.
"I never had a son of my own, and my only child is Luna.Even though I didn't give birth to him, I see Jim as my son, and you can be, too."
"Mother!"
Jim could not help frowning when he heard this.He doesn't deserve to be your son!"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Charles shot him a glare.
"What makes you think you deserve to be your mother's son but not him?"
"Your father is right."
Rosalyn curled her lips into an amused smile.
"You two are brothers, and if you're m y son, Sean can be, too."
Then, she reached out to grasp Sean's hand once more.
"You look almost identical to Jim when he turned twenty, and I can't help feeling familiar whenever I look at you.If you'd have us, I sincerely hope that you'll come home with us and become our second son.Will you?"
Sean's heart leaped into his throat.
