CHAPTER 381

"Of course." Sebastian gazed at Joel's adorable face dotingly and couldn't help but feel delighted. "Darling, why are you asking this?"

"That's because Mommy loves Aldo and me too!" Joel answered, filled with joy. "Mommy loves Aldo and me the most, and Daddy, too. So, Aldo and I are the happiest kids in the world!"

"You're happy just because of this?" Sebastian crouched down, picked him up, and gave him a peck on the cheek. "You're a really easily contented and happy boy, Buddy."

Joel hugged him around his neck and smiled sweetly. "Aldo is also a very good boy!"

Sebastian chuckled while he pinched Joel's cheek lightly. His son was his eldest son's largest and most loyal fan, always keeping his elder brother in mind.

Madeline joined them as she stroked Joel's face and turned to ask Sebastian, "Are we leaving now?"

"Yes. Are you ready?" he asked.

She nodded. "Yes."

"I thought so, too." His eyes regarded her before he turned to Joel and Quincy. "You're stunning, and the kids are adorable. Without a doubt, I'll be in the limelight tonight."

For a swinging bachelor who had never been in a relationship, he suddenly had a wife with two five- year-olds. His friends were already filled with curiosity and urged him to bring his wife and kids to meet them on several occasions.

However, the meeting was delayed twice due to sudden unexpected events, but it was finally happening today.

Joel's eyes lit up with excitement with his arms around Sebastian's neck. "Daddy, am I adorable?"

Sebastian smiled as he nodded firmly. "Yes, you're very adorable!"

"Am I pretty, Daddy?" Joel asked again.

"Very pretty!" Sebastian answered, chuckling.

"Then, does it make you proud to take me out?" Joel asked.

"Of course! Why are you asking this, Buddy?"

"That's how it goes in TV dramas!" Joel wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck and said, "There's a man in the drama who said that his wife is ugly and his son is doing badly in school. So, he said that he doesn't want to bring them out because it's embarrassing!"

Sebastian was rendered speechless before he finally tilted his head at Madeline. "What TV drama is he watching?"

"'The Loving Family'," Madeline answered hesitantly.

"He's complaining that his wife is ugly and his son isn't doing well in school. How are they a loving

family?"

A dumbfounded Madeline had no idea how she could answer such a question. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Daddy, Mommy isn't ugly, right?" Joel asked in delight. "Mommy is the prettiest in the world, isn't she?"

"Yes, she is!" Sebastian answered affirmatively.

"That's good." Joel's big, dark eyes turned into crescents from grinning so widely. "Mommy is pretty; Aldo and I are adorable with good results at school! We scored a hundred points! You must be especially proud to take us out, Daddy!"

Sebastian couldn't say anything to refute his son's logic, so he merely nodded. "Yes, it makes me especially proud."

"Great!" Joel clapped his hands and swung his feet happily. "I'll score a hundred points in the future every time so that you can be proud of us!"

Sebastian turned to face Madeline and encouraged, "I sincerely suggest that our sons watch more cartoons in the future and fewer soap operas."

She couldn't even say anything in her defense as she thought in exasperation, What can I do when my son likes to watch everything?

"Why, Daddy?" Joel asked, puzzled. "Cartoons aren't as interesting as dramas. Cartoons are boring, but dramas are exciting."

Just because he likes the excitement, huh? Okay, this is a small matter and won't affect anything, Sebastian thought. Then, he planted a kiss on his precious son's warm cheek. "It's okay, just watch whatever you like, but don't watch too much. We don't want you to hurt your eyes."

"Alright, I'll pay attention to that, Daddy. Aldo will also supervise me." He swiveled his head to look at Quincy as he asked, "Right, Aldo?"

"Yes." Quincy nodded earnestly, and Sebastian ruffled his hair in pride.

"That's my boy!"

As he shouldn't favor one over the other, he had to show affection for both kids, and after he had answered all of Joel's never-ending questions, the family finally left the house.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the biggest club in Dusktown—Club Tempest.

Joel held Sebastian and Madeline's hands with each of his own as he stood at the club entrance and read the name out loud, "Club Tempest…"

"Well done, you can already read those words at such a young age, Buddy!" Sebastian praised.

"Yes! I'm great, but Aldo is even better than me!" he said proudly.

Sebastian snorted, "Both of you are amazing."

While the boys entered the club with Sebastian and Madeline, Joel started to chatter nonstop. "Daddy, I think the name Club Tempest sounds really nice, and it's much better than the names in the dramas!

The clubs in the drama are always called Heaven On Earth, Twilight, or such. It's a little lame."

Suddenly, Sebostion reconsidered ond decided thot he should limit the omount of dromo his son wos wotching!

"Woe, it's so beoutiful ond grond here!" Joel continued to chirp. "Aldo, look ot thot oquorium. The fishes inside ore reolly huge ond pretty! Aldo, look ot the crystol lights. It's so elegont, ond it hos so mony bright colors! Doddy, Mommy, look ot thot piono! It's blue ond hos o very nice shope!"

He went on ond on, ond if it were someone else's child who wos so tolkotive, Sebostion would probobly osk someone to drog him out by the collor.

Yet, Joel wos his own son, ond he felt thot Joel's ployful ond energetic monner wos very likoble, ond his voice wos olso crisp ond sweet, sounding bell-like. So no motter whot come out of his mouth, listening to his voice wos o kind of enjoyment.

On the other hond, Joel looked ot everything in wonder, ond just like thot, he odmired everything until they reoched the privote suite on the top floor.

This club wos Lucos' property, ond bock then, when it wos under renovotion, he hod olreody decided thot the entire top floor would be their octivity bose ond wouldn't be occessible to the public.

So, ofter the door opened, Joel sow o reolly huge room, ond his eyes widened in shock. "Wow!" he gushed. "This room is huge, Doddy!"

His sweet ond crisp voice ottrocted the ottention of everyone in the room, ond Lucos wos the first to stond up ond flosh him o bright smile. "My nephew is here."

The men who were honging out over drinks stood up one ofter the other ond greeted them. Suddenly, obout nine men strode to Sebostion's fomily ond greeted him before they greeted Modeline, ocknowledging her os Mrs. Hort.

Some of them complimented thot she wos pretty, ond some joked thot Sebostion wos finolly willing to bring his wife out to meet them.

Even though Modeline wosn't sociolly owkword, she couldn't help but blush when she wos suddenly focing nine men, ond oll of them seemed to be wotching her curiously.

She lowered her heod to hide her emborrossment ond urged her sons, "Soy hello to everyone."

"Good evening, everyone," Quincy greeted stiffly.

In controst, Joel gove the men o sweet smile. "Hello, everyone! All of you ore so good-looking!"

Suddenly, Sebastian reconsidered and decided that he should limit the amount of drama his son was watching!

"Woe, it's so beautiful and grand here!" Joel continued to chirp. "Aldo, look at that aquarium. The fishes inside are really huge and pretty! Aldo, look at the crystal lights. It's so elegant, and it has so many bright colors! Daddy, Mommy, look at that piano! It's blue and has a very nice shape!"

He went on and on, and if it were someone else's child who was so talkative, Sebastian would probably ask someone to drag him out by the collar.

Yet, Joel was his own son, and he felt that Joel's playful and energetic manner was very likable, and his voice was also crisp and sweet, sounding bell-like. So no matter what came out of his mouth, listening to his voice was a kind of enjoyment.

On the other hand, Joel looked at everything in wonder, and just like that, he admired everything until they reached the private suite on the top floor.

This club was Lucas' property, and back then, when it was under renovation, he had already decided that the entire top floor would be their activity base and wouldn't be accessible to the public.

So, after the door opened, Joel saw a really huge room, and his eyes widened in shock. "Wow!" he gushed. "This room is huge, Daddy!"

His sweet and crisp voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and Lucas was the first to stand up and flash him a bright smile. "My nephew is here."

The men who were hanging out over drinks stood up one after the other and greeted them. Suddenly, about nine men strode to Sebastian's family and greeted him before they greeted Madeline, acknowledging her as Mrs. Hart.

Some of them complimented that she was pretty, and some joked that Sebastian was finally willing to bring his wife out to meet them.

Even though Madeline wasn't socially awkward, she couldn't help but blush when she was suddenly facing nine men, and all of them seemed to be watching her curiously.

She lowered her head to hide her embarrassment and urged her sons, "Say hello to everyone."

"Good evening, everyone," Quincy greeted stiffly.

In contrast, Joel gave the men a sweet smile. "Hello, everyone! All of you are so good-looking!"
