God Of War Returns as a Daddy novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72 A Trap. Smell a rat in the Matter

"Yes."

Cornelia was so young, and she should be a few years younger than Sean. Sean thought it would be awkward if he called her aunt face-to-face.

He might not even be able to call her that.

But what he didn't expect was that all the awkwardness he'd expected was gone because of Mamie.

In fact, aunt sounded nice!

Especially when he saw Cornelia's mixed expression of shock and confusion, panic and disappointment, Sean wanted to laugh, but it was embarrassed and he could only hold back.

"You. re…"

Cornelia stared at Sean for two or three minutes before she got over her shock. She took a deep breath and asked, still incredulously, "Sean, Sean…"

"Are you the Young Mr. Mason of the Mason family of The Capital City, Dean and Gemma's grandson?"

Sean was not embarrassed anymore.

Cornelia had been excited, worried, hesitated, and looked forward for a long time. And now, at last, she had come to this, like a bolt from the blue.

Moments ago, she mistakenly thought Sean was going to tell her that he liked her. Her heart was still racing.

And now!

Aunt?

Oh, my God, you recognized me, you knew about us, so why couldn't you tell me sooner?

Wasn't that a bit of a joke?

"Yeah, that's me."

Sean nodded and asked, "You've heard about me?"

"Gemma accidentally mentioned your name."

Cornelia recalled and shook her head. "But when I asked her about it, she was very coy about telling me, so your name just came across as something to me."

"Oh, I see…"

Sean sighed. Of course he knew why Gemma kept Cornelia in the dark.

After all, he was suddenly jailed five years ago, convicted of rape. Such a charge against any man would stain him for life.

It only made me sad to talk about it.

And Gemma and Dean became Cornelia's godmother and godfather after Sean went to prison. There was no need for her to be involved, to be scared.

Keeping it from her was for her own good, of course.

The two of them sat in the car and talked for about five minutes, then Sean handed Cornelia the car keys again and asked, "Auntie, you won't refuse me this time, will you?"

"Anyone who doesn't want such an expensive car would be a fool."

Cornelia took the car keys without hesitation. Now that she knew who Sean was, she was relieved to let go of her guard and anxiety.

She was not as stiff around Sean as she used to be.

Sean rolled her eyes and said, "You've been saying no, not like now. If someone sees you, they'll think I'm gonna do something bad to you."

"Don't ever talk about it again!"

Cornelia blushed at the mention of it, thinking, "I myself, without knowing it, thought you were going to do something to me, let alone an outsider!"

Oh, villain!

"Okay."

Sean took his joke away and said, "In addition to telling you this, in fact, there is a very important matter that requires your immediate attention. And that's why I have come to see you urgently."

"Oh?"

Cornelia was stunned, "What's that?"

Sean said quietly, "I have some enemies in Hilshire, and they could attack anyone around me at any moment, including grandma and grandpa, including you."
