Chapter 1101 Helping Daddy Ward Off Love Rivals Avery nodded, then asked, âIs it convenient now? Could you help me check how well my body has recovered?â
Neera didnât mind, so she asked, âAre you feeling unwell?â
Avery let out a soft âHmmâ, clutching his chest. His brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed quickly.
âI feel a slight discomfort in my chest these past few days. Iâm heading back to the Free State in a couple of days, so I thought Iâd see you while youâre available.â
Neera nodded and said, âAlright.â Then, she joined him in the lounge on the first floor.
After taking his pulse, she reassured him, âYouâre just recovering from a serious illness and are still a bit weak, but thereâs nothing seriously wrong. As long as you take care of yourself over the long term, youâll get better. Thereâs no need to be overly anxious.â
Avery withdrew his hand, fastening his exquisite cufflinks, and smiled, âSince you say itâs fine, then Iâm relieved.â
Off to the side, the triplets were watching the interaction between the two people intently. Their gazes were unwavering and subtly intense.
Sammy clenched his fist, and was somewhat unhappy.
âI can see, heâs just deliberately trying to win Mommyâs sympathy!â
Penny was also indignantly whispering in his ear.
âExactly. Isnât this just him playing the sympathy card? Is he trying to make Mommy feel sorry for him?â
Harvey squinted his eyes, and remained silent.
Over here, they were whispering amongst themselves.
Over there, Averyâs gaze shifted and looked in that direction suddenly as if he sensed something.
The moment the triplets met his gaze, they immediately fell silent, standing even more upright than a poplar tree.
Avery was a bit amused. He raised an eyebrow and teased them, âYou donât have to watch me so closely. I wonât do anything to your mom.â
Upon hearing this, Neera felt somewhat embarrassed.
The triplets didnât believe him, and secretly muttered in their hearts. Judging by your overly solicitous behavior, you donât seem to be as harmless as you appear.
Their intentions were seen through, yet they didnât panic at all. They simply played dumb instead.
âMr. Cox, what are you talking about? We just want to spend more time with Mommy. After all, sheâs been so busy lately that she hasnât had time to play with us. Now that she finally has some time off work, of course we want to stick around her more.â
Avery let out a laugh as he could see through their act, yet he chose not to reveal it.
âTheard you guys play chess. Would you like to have a game? Everythingâs all set up here.â
At that moment, he asked in a good-natured manner.
1è93%æ¥ Without a second thought, Harvey declined promptly, âThank you for your kindness, Mr. Cox, but thereâs no such need. We donât feel like playing chess right now.â
This man is definitely trying to seize the opportunity to get closer to us, hoping that we would switch sides and support him being with Mommy.
Hmph, we wouldnât give him this opportunity!
âI see. Alright then. Wait until youâre ready, then we shall play a game.â
Avery nodded nonchalantly, then suggested, âOn the third floor of this cruise ship is a large amusement area. Itâs filled with high-tech electronic devices and even robots. Would you like to go check it out?â
Upon hearing about electronic technology and robots, Sammyâs eyes lit up instantly with a hint of excitement stirring within.
A âyesâ almost slipped from his lips, but he swallowed it back forcefully, suppressing the excitement in his heart. Then, he shook his head with much difficulty.
âThank you, but Iâm currently not interested in those things, nor do I want to go check them out.â
Upon hearing this, Neeraâs lips twitched slightly, almost breaking into a laugh.
She knew her child better than anyone else, so she was well aware of how much her child, Sammy, loved high technology.
How could he possibly not be interested in those things?
This little rascal seems to watch Avery very closelyâ¦
Despite being rejected repeatedly, Avery didnât give up and laughed it off nonchalantly.
âIs that so? What a pity. I was thinking if you guys were interested, I could take you to see it. Not only that, thereâs a specially designed mini aquarium on the first floor. Itâs filled with a variety of fish.
Standing inside, it feels as if youâre submerged under the sea, swimming with the schools of fish. Since youâre already here, it would be somewhat regrettable to miss such a beautiful sight.â
Penny was so moved by his words that she couldnât help but swallow her saliva.
This⦠is just too tempting!
Avery observed the three of them composedly. Seeing the hesitation in Pennyâs eyes, his smile deepened, luring her relentlessly.
âWell, thereâs nothing else going on right now, so letâs go take a look. Itâs a rare opportunity, and it would be such a pity to miss it.â
Penny glanced at her two older brothers. She felt somewhat conflicted after noticing their silence.
Seeing the situation, Sammy pondered for a moment, then sidled over to Harvey and whispered softly.
âHarvey, Penny really wants to go. Letâs just go and take a look. Thereâs no harm in just looking. As long as we firmly choose Dad in our hearts, it doesnât count as betrayal.â
After much hesitation, Harvey finally gave in and agreed, unable to muster another refusal.
