Chapter 79
The triplets were all paying attention to Sean’s expression when it was brought up. They understood each other and kept quiet simultaneously. A hint of guilt flashed across their eyes as they comforted themselves. They told themselves the only reason they did that was to make their mother and Sean get closer!
Sean turned what was happening over in his mind and gave the laptop back to Tony. He looked at Molly and said, “We’ll try to get the electricity back on as soon as possible, but it’ll take some time. You guys can stay here for a while first.”
He did not tell Molly what the cause of it was. From the beginning, he already thought that the invader was coming after him, and Molly was just unlucky for staying in his mansion.
Molly nodded and said, “I guess that’s the only way. I should give you some extra treatment now since I’m already here.”
Tony went to the study room with the laptop. He was getting ready to resolve the bug.
The triplets kept bugging Molly because they wanted to go have a look. She had no choice but to let them.
Sean and Molly were left alone in the room. Neither of them said a word, and things got a little awkward.
There was also an update from Tony’s end, when they were done. “Boss, I’ve called the people from the I.T department, but it seems like there’s no way the power will be back by tonight. The invader knows what he’s doing.”
Molly heard it, and she felt a little headache. Her house was in complete darkness, and neither she nor her children had taken a bath. It was so troublesome. Also, she did not know when will the power be back. There was no way she could fall asleep without showering.
The triplets started showing off their acting skills, “Mommy, we haven’t showered yet. What should we do now? Our house is so dark.”
“Mommy, I don’t like darkness. I don’t want to go back. It’s scary.” Claudia hugged Molly’s leg as she said adorably.
Molly’s face looked awkward as she asked, “Do you have any candles here with you? Perhaps you could lend me some to light up my house. It’d be good to have a little light back there. I didn’t expect something like this would happen, so I don’t have any backup candles.”
