Chapter 727
"l-lt's..."
The triplets lowered their heads down timidly. They were not brave enough to tell Molly the truth.
'Mommy is going to be angry if she knew that grandpa and grandma gave us these watches, right?'
The triplets had no choice but to look at Sean and ask for help.
'Uncle Sean, please help US out!' Their pitiful eyes seemed to say.
Sean brought his brows together as if he could guess what the triplets were trying to say. Then, he moved his thin lips. "Tony, I told you to get the triplets a present previously. Did you get each of them a watch?"
Tony looked confused.
'When did he ask me to get a present for the triplets?’
Sean threw him a profound look when Tony was still trying to figure out what was happening.
Tony picked up on it right away, and he nodded dutifully. ''Yes, boss. I asked my friends to buy something for me overseas after you told me to buy something for the kids. I didn't know what exactly my friend bought, but I guess these watches are one of them.”
Sean nodded and said to Molly, "Molly, stop questioning the kids. I bought them the watches."
"Really?"
Molly locked her brows as she did not really buy what Sean said. Then, she continued to ask, "Why did you stutter if it's just a present from Uncle Sean?
"B-Because..."
The triplets rarely lied, and they were very bad at it too. However, they had no choice but to hide the truth from Molly.
So, Alex braced himself and said while gritting his teeth, "Because the watches are too expensive. Mommy, we were afraid that you'd be mad at us for accepting such a costly present from Uncle Sean, so we didn't dare to tell you...
"Mommy, we're sorry."
The triplets bowed their head down almost the same time after saying that, looking remorseful.
Molly's heart immediately melted. She thought that the triplets were hiding something from her, but she did not expect that they were just worried about her feelings.
'It's true. I can tell that these watches are expensive just by looking at them. It's very reasonable for them to feel this way.'
Molly buried her anger and became gentle as she patted the triplet's heads. "Kids, just let me know if Uncle Sean gave you presents again next time. I won't be mad."
"Mommy..."
The triplets held their chubby hands up and asked Molly for a hug.
Molly hugged the triplets, and her heart wrenched. Then, she brought the triplets into the car and said, "Let's go home and eat!"
