Chapter 360 They Couldn't Wait for Him Anymore

After saying this, Dylan couldn't be bothered to deal with his foolish younger brother anymore and headed straight downstairs.

Zackary coolly glanced at the USB drive in his hand, thinking about the restored video he had already seen, where Ralph was carrying Lola into the hotel. He directly threw this USB drive out of a nearby window.

Cornelia was enthusiastically telling Jayden about her carefully planned evening when she saw her eldest son coming down from upstairs.

Her cheerful little face instantly drooped.

"Dylan, I told you to spend quality time with Penelope tonight, who allowed you to come down!"

"Mommy, I had some things to handle at the company tonight, I went back to the company first!"

Watching Dylan's hurried departure, Cornelia was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

She had put in so much effort, only to pluck so many rose petals, and now, all the rose petals scattered on the bed, were they just wasted like this?

She wanted to drag Dylan back and give him a beating, but he slipped away too quickly for her to catch.

Thinking back to her phone call with Zackary, when he told her that Dylan was attracted to men, she felt an even greater heaviness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe.

Cornelia grabbed her phone, wanting to watch some videos to soothe her wounded soul.

Who would have known, as soon as she turned on her phone, she saw a video clip.

The video of Zackary and Everett participating in that dating reality show.

Because many staff members were live-streaming during the video recording, a lot of behind-the-scenes footage was circulating online. A seasoned fujoshi edited a video of Zackary and Everett, featuring various intense eye contacts, and even him snatching Mr. Murray from Penelope's hands.

Accompanied by that melodious and affectionate music, watching Zackary snatch the beef patty from Everett's chopsticks, and even insisting on dancing with him, Cornelia was instantly disheveled in the wind.

What on earth did she give birth to!

Had a daughter, the daughter kept messing up in various ways, couldn't get her married off.

Had a son, liked all kinds of men, couldn't get a wife.

At least the elder son wasn't so fickle. The younger son was deeply in love with Lyman just a while ago, and now he's all over Everett in the blink of an eye. What happened to Z&E Forever?!

Cornelia, in her anger, threw her phone aside. Seeing his wife's face turn from pale to green with anger, Jayden couldn't express how heartbroken he was.

"Cornelia, who made you angry? Tell me, I'll go break his legs!"

"You!"

Cornelia, infuriated, grabbed her phone and threw it directly into Jayden's arms, "Jayden, look at this, what on earth have you produced?! It wasn't enough to harm Lyman, now your son wants to harm Everett, why do you only produce such unscrupulous things!"

"Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, a rat's son can dig holes! Jayden, you're no good either!"

Jayden, "...." he was so innocent.

But whatever his wife said, he dared not refute. No matter how innocent he was, he had to put on a full-faced smile to appease his wife's anger.

Seeing Jayden's ingratiating smile, Cornelia's anger subsided quite a bit. However, the thought of something like Z&E Forever still made her seethe with anger.

"Jayden, your genes are terrible! Each child you produce is a freak! If I had known, I wouldn't have had children with you!"

Jayden was even more innocent.

His genes were good, okay!

Otherwise, Dylan and Zackary, who were so similar to him, could not have been hailed as any kind of godly beauty.

And then there was Isabella, the top-tier celebrity in the entertainment industry, an unsurpassable superstar. If his genes were not good, how could he have produced such a lovely daughter?

But no matter how innocent, Jayden still had to coax his wife with a smile, "Yes, Cornelia, it's because my genes are too bad. My bad genes are the reason we have such a bunch of weirdos!"

Upon hearing Jayden's words, the last bit of anger in Cornelia's heart inevitably disappeared completely.

She gently nestled in Jayden's arms, well, no matter how peculiar her three children were, the man she found was the best in the world.

Her descendants will have their own blessings. Whether they prefer men or women, she would let them be. All she wanted was to stay by this man's side, watching the world go by in a haze of smoke and fire, enjoying the tranquility of time...

Today was Ethan's birthday.

Penelope only had one set of advertisements to shoot today. After she finished, she hurried to the kindergarten to pick up Ethan and celebrate his birthday.

Ethan spent his first three birthdays in a dungeon.

At first, they really had an extremely hard time in the dungeon.

In the final year, she inadvertently saved a minor leader who was guarding the dungeon, and their circumstances improved significantly.

Lola and Ralph, by then, no longer came to the dungeon. The small boss had opened up a small kitchen in the dungeon for them and often sent them some decent ingredients. They were occasionally able to improve their lives.

On Ethan's first birthday, they shared a white flour bun together.

On Ethan's second birthday, he was already somewhat sensible. She and Kemp sang the birthday song for him together. The three of them didn't eat anything, yet they were still full of joy.

On Ethan's third birthday, she baked a small cake for Kemp and Ethan using an almost broken oven. Kemp said it was the best cake he had ever eaten. Ethan also ate with a smile, wishing he could lick the cake plate clean.

Ethan's fourth birthday, Kemp was absent.

Although Ethan was always laughing, Penelope could see the dullness in his eyes.

She knew, he was hoping for his Uncle Kemp to celebrate his birthday with him.

Also, his father, Zackary.

A while ago, during the few days when she got back together with Zackary, he had promised Ethan that he would spend every one of his future birthdays with him.

But ultimately, he broke his promise.

"Mom, is Uncle Kemp really not going to celebrate my birthday with me?" Ethan asked Penelope, looking at the birthday cake on the table with a hopeful expression.

Seeing Ethan in this state, Penelope felt a pang in her heart. She gently rubbed his little head, "Ethan, your Uncle Kemp has been too busy. When he gets a chance, he will celebrate your birthday with you."

Ethan didn't speak, he just lowered his face in loneliness.

From the moment Ethan was born, he lived with Kemp. The first byte he learned, the first note, were all taught by him. He was the most important presence in his life. He never thought that one day, he would part with his beloved Uncle Kemp. This birthday, without his Uncle Kemp, he would naturally be very, very sad.

"Mom, he won't celebrate my birthday with me anymore."

Penelope knew that the "he" Ethan was referring to was Zackary.

Seemingly afraid that Penelope would be upset, Ethan quickly lifted the corners of his mouth into a big smile, "Mom, I'm so happy today! Having mom, Aunt Corona, and Uncle to celebrate my birthday with me, I'm so, so happy!"

"Ethan..."

Penelope wanted to say, "Ethan, Mom will always be with you on your birthdays."

But thinking of her limited days, she ultimately didn't utter these words.

"Mom, why hasn't Uncle come yet? He said he would celebrate my birthday with me tonight."

"Ethan, your uncle was on a business trip out of town, he probably wouldn't be able to make it until later."

Lyman said he would probably be back around ten in the evening. Penelope glanced at the time, it was already past ten, and he still hadn't returned.

She, Ethan, and Corona waited and waited, but in the end, they didn't wait for him to rush back for Ethan's birthday. Instead, they received news of his accident.
