Chapter 171 Capable Man Doesn’t Live on His Parents Shouldn’t Be Used Here
Sebastian did a lot of tasks after he brought Madeline and the two children out.
He first went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to change the registration details of the children. Once that had been done, Quincy and Joel’s last name on their registration book wasn’t ‘Taylor’ anymore, but ‘Hart’.
Then, he took them to school where both the children would be attending. They had a walk around the school to familiarize the children with the school’s surroundings.
Joel was an expert at flattery. Whatever he saw, whether it was the vast field or the lovely garden, he would exclaim in surprise and it would be followed by a slew of compliments.
Sebastian was amused by such manners and he said while gently stroking Joel’s head, “It’s Monday the day after tomorrow. I’ll send you and your brother here for school. Do you want it?”
“Yes!” Joel nodded firmly. “This school is big and beautiful. I love it!”
Then, he hugged Quincy’s arm and said with a smile, “Anywhere will do as long as I’m with Quincy! I’m brave and obedient; I’m not afraid at all!”
“Yes, you are!” Sebastian couldn’t help but carry Joel into his arms and kiss his tender cheek. “My son is the most obedient child in the world! Cute and obedient!”
Joel smiled happily when he heard that. He returned the kiss to Sebastian and said, “And my dad is the most wonderful dad in the world! Number one!”
At that, Sebastian pinched his cheeks as he absolutely adored Joel.
After the visit to the school, he then brought them to their house opposite.
Both children were overjoyed to learn that Madeline would be opening her firm here after they attended the opposite school in the future.
Even a usually reserved Quincy laughed happily, let alone Joel. He was already running wild in the courtyard. While running, he yelled, “Mom! Come here! It’s so beautiful!”
Madeline happily followed him.
He was exhausted after running and leaned in her arms. With his arms wrapped around her neck, his face showed a blissful expression as he inquired, “Mom, is this our home in the future?”
“Yes,” Madeline replied while wiping off the sweat on Joel’s forehead. “This is our home from now on.”
“That’s wonderful!” He pressed his cheeks against hers and commented in a soft voice, “Will this be our home forever, Mom? We’ll stay here with Dad and will never have to move again, right?”
It was a question that she could not answer.
Sebastian, on the other hand, approached them and answered while stroking Joel’s head, “We may not stay here forever, but our family will always stay together. No matter which location we are in, as long as we are together, that’s our home.”
“Do we really have to move?” Joel asked, his head tilted. “Dad, I love this place. Can we stay here forever?”
This was the first request his beloved son had ever made, and of course, Sebastian couldn’t bear to reject him.
“Of course!” He nodded and walked to one side with his phone.
Half an hour later, someone sent over the property’s sale and purchase agreement. Sebastian handed it to Madeline and instructed, “Sign your name.”
“What?” After she flipped through the agreement, she was shocked. “You’re giving this house to Joel?”
“That’s right.” Sebastian nodded. “This is Joel’s house now. As long as he does not want to leave, this will remain our home forever.”
She was dumbstruck.
What should she say? That he was rich enough to be this willful?
“This is not appropriate, I think.” After years of unlucky events, Madeline wasn’t used to having someone treating her and her sons this well.
“There’s nothing inappropriate.” Sebastian replied, “This property is for Joel. As for Quincy, I’ll let him choose somewhere else that he likes. They are both my beloved sons and I won’t practice favoritism.”
Madeline was still stupefied.
She wanted to congratulate this Young Master that he finally understood the concept of favoritism correctly, but this gift was too valuable and she did not want to accept it.
Sebastian saw through her thoughts. With his brows raised, he said, “They are your sons, but they’re mine as well. You can’t deprive my rights to dote on them.”
Then, he shoved the signing pen into her palm and said, “Just sign.”
As he had rushed her into it, she signed the agreement in a daze.
Quinton quickly brought over an ink pad and both she and Joel stamped their fingerprints on the agreement.
Joel was confused by what was going on, and with his blinking eyes, he asked, “Are you selling us off?”
“What?!” Sebastian asked in reply.
“That’s what they always show in the television programmes.” He then made a pressing gesture with his finger and continued, “Leaving my fingerprint means that I’m selling myself off!”
When Sebastian heard that, he smiled and stroked Joel’s head. “I told you not to watch so many TV shows. You didn’t listen to me, did you?”
To that, Joel laughed and buried himself into Sebastian’s arms without answering the question.
Hugging his soft and tender body, Sebastian did not want to harp on the issue anymore.
Joel, who always used his cuteness to his advantage, wriggled his way out successfully once more.
After hugging him for a while, Sebastian patted him on the back and asked him to look at the agreement. He then explained, “Look at this. You’ve now imprinted your fingerprint on this agreement, and this house will be yours in the future!”
While pointing toward the shop houses in front of them and the house that they would be moving in, he continued, “All these are yours. You can stay here for as long as you want. As long as you do not want to move, you’ll never have to!”
“Wow!” Joel exclaimed as his eyes brightened. “You are wonderful, Dad!”
“I’m just average,” Sebastian replied in a humble way. “You will be better than me when you grow up.”
Madeline had no idea what to say.
His words were humble, but she did not feel his sincerity in it at all.
Sebastian stretched his hand and pulled Quincy to his side. “I’ve a lot of other properties, Quincy. I’ll bring you there next time and I’ll give you whichever it is that you prefer.”
“That’s not necessary, Dad.” Quincy declined in a stern tone. “A capable man doesn’t live on his parents, Dad. I’ll get whatever I want by myself.”
Madeline was even more confused when she heard that. That saying wasn’t used in such a situation, son! she exclaimed in her heart.
However, Sebastian found him amusing. It didn’t bother him whether Quincy had used the words correctly; he just wanted to praise the child. “My son is terrific. So sensible and ambitious. You’re wonderful!”
Hearing that, she decided to give up on them.
She had a feeling these three guys were going to drive her insane sooner or later.
Though it was only now that Sebastian brought them to this house, he had long planned for all of them to stay here. Even before he left for Wendel City with Madeline, he had directed his men to refurbish this house.
The house was now fully furnished and ready for them to move in.
