Chapter 166: Brother-in-law is cute
Axel stayed for a while, out of habit. In the past, he would stay in his brother’s place to look after Sebastian. It was how he figured out that Dominic and Heaven’s relationship wasn’t normal, and how he found out how neglectful she was to her family.
But staying with them today felt weird. Not only he felt like fourth wheeling and out of place, he felt like Dominic and Sebastian were using every bit of his existence to impress Heaven. It was almost like they were indirectly telling him to leave already, as if he was disturbing their family time.
Since when did they have family time?!
"Mommy, how come you know this?" Sebastian blinked, sitting in an angel seat while Heaven was helping him with his homework in the family room.
He and Heaven were sitting on the floor while his books and notes were on the coffee table. Meanwhile, Dominic was perching on the armchair with a serious face on his tablet. Axel occupied the long couch opposite them; he invited himself in, even though he felt very unwelcome.
"Mommy is an honor roll when I was still in school." Heaven grinned confidently. "So, if you need my help, just ask me, alright?"
"Tsk. Isn’t that just multiplication?" Axel clicked his tongue grumpily, watching Heaven and Sebastian look back at him. "That’s like... common knowledge. How can you shamelessly brag about being on an honor roll to a kindergarten?"
Heaven bit her tongue while Sebastian maintained a straight face.
"Is that so?" Sebastian blinked innocently. "If so, Uncle, what is 1432 multiplied by 6493?"
"Hey, what the hell are those numbers?" Axel gasped in disbelief. "Weren’t you just multiplying one-digit numbers?"
"I guess Uncle doesn’t know." Sebastian shrugged, facing his mother. "What about you, Mommy? What is 2 multiplied by 2?"
