Chapter 4 He Can't Run Away

• The triplets were shocked to hear that.
• Daddy has a fiancée! What about Mommy then?
• Penny pursued the topic. "Is your fiancée pretty? Is she prettier than me? Do I stand a chance?"
• Ian chuckled at the little girl's questions. He said, "My dear, even if my employer isn't engaged to anyone, you still wouldn't stand a chance because the age difference is too big!"
• "It's not big at all…" Penny said.
• Mommy is at most three years younger than him. The age difference isn't that big!
• Jean was amused. "You're not very picky, are you?"
• Penny said, "I'm pretty picky. I don't like any man other than you!"
• Not only are you handsome, but you might also be my birth father! Nobody else can claim that!
• Harvey and Sammy nodded and said in agreement, "Yup, we're okay with that, if it's you we're talking about."
• Jean had no retort to that.
• What's the problem with these children?
• Ian tried his best not to laugh.
• It was the first time in Jean's employment that he saw him rendered speechless.
• Luckily for Jean, the waiter served food to the children at that moment.
• The exquisitely prepared food instantly attracted the attention of the triplets.
• Jean quickly shifted the conversation topic. "Your food is here."
• The children picked up their cutlery and began to eat. They were not lying when they said they were hungry.
• Food is more important! In any case, this man isn't going to run away!
• Jean watched the three children eat and thought they were adorable. His cold expression warmed up a little, and he seemed to have the appetite to eat more.
• About ten minutes later, he put his knife and fork down. His face turned pale, and he began to furrow his brows.
• The observant Harvey noticed the change in Jean's expression. "What's wrong, sir? Your complexion is pale. Are you feeling unwell?"
• Sammy and Penny turned their heads to Jean. They saw that his forehead was covered in sweat. "Are you okay, sir?"
• "Are you okay, sir? Should I bring you to the hospital?" Ian said while taking his phone.
• Jean stopped him. "I'm fine. I guess my stomach is cramping because I ate lunch late…"
• Even though he said that, he did not look like he was fine at all.
• Penny shifted next to Jean and said, "Let me take a look, sir."
• She grabbed Jean's arm and placed three fingers on his wrist.
• Is she… taking my pulse? Jean was surprised. For some time, he was at a loss for a reaction.
• After taking Jean's pulse, Penny rummaged through her sling bag and took a small box.
• She took a silver needle from the box and said to Jean, "The needle is already sterilized. It might sting a little when I insert it, so you'll have to bear with it. Don't worry, it won't take long."
• Before the adults could react, Penny plunged the needle into a certain point on Jean's arm.
• Ian was stunned for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he blurted, "Oh my god! What did you just do? This isn't the time for you to pretend to be a doctor!"
• He thought that Penny was an undisciplined brat, and she had poked Jean with a needle without thinking of the consequences.
• Sire's constitution is weak! He probably can't stand the pain! Who's going to be responsible if something happens to him?
• I don't mind the children being naughty, but they shouldn't hurt anyone!
• He reached out and wanted to remove the needle from Jean's arm.
• However, a child's hand stopped him.
• That was Harvey.
• Harvey said sternly, "Don't touch the needle! My sister is a medical apprentice to my mother. She knows what she's doing!"
