Revenge After Death

Chapter 798

Stephanie gave it some thought before turning to Steven. "What if we just agree to it, Steven?"

She had been gnawed at by worry for some time now. She wasn't worried previously as she had nothing to lose, but she now had Ashton, Xan, and Steven to think about.

Steven pulled her into his embrace and softly comforted, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. We're safe here."

"But we can't keep the kids from going overseas. They'll need to learn and explore the world when they grow up." Stephanie couldn't bear to imagine trapping Ashton and Xan by their side forever.

Was it truly fair for them to live a trapped life as well?

"Let's wait for a little longer," Steven whispered.

He selfishly wanted to wait for a little longer. He wanted to stay with the kids as they grew up. He just wanted to indulge himself for a few more years.

They were fearless in the past, but now, they only wanted to experience ordinary lives.

Stephanie looked at Steven. He didn't need to say much for her to understand what he was thinking.

He wanted to wait for a little longer, keeping Ashton and Xan by their sides and letting them have ordinary lives. They would let them go once the kids grew older and had the ability to take care of themselves.

But until then, they needed to pave the way for the kids and help them tackle any dangers that were to come.

Steven smiled and said, "I'm hungry, wifey."

Stephanie gave it some thought before replying, "The caretaker is off today. We'll head out to eat once the kids are back."

Steven narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you trust me, wifey? How about I do the cooking instead?"

She pursed her lips and said, "No, I don't want to eat your cooking."

Steven hung his head low, dejected.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

He was a genius, but he couldn't cook. It was not that his cooking was inedible-it just didn't taste good.

"We're back, Mom and Dad!" Ashton and Xan returned before Stephanie could coax Steven.

Ashton excitedly said, "Mr. Graham spoke to me today, Dad. He said that my grades have caught the attention of schools overseas."

Steven's face fell. He looked at Stephanie with a frown.

She crouched in front of Ashton. "What do you think about this? Do you really want to study overseas?"

He glanced from Steven to Stephanie, nodding his head. "I want to go overseas."

Stephanie frowned and asked, "What about Xan?"

"She can stay back with both of you," Ashton replied seriously.

"Why must you go overseas? It's good to stay here too." Stephanie suppressed her temper, wanting to be a good mother who could communicate well.

"I want to see the outside world. Xan and I lived on the cruise for years, and my knowledge only comes from the computer. I want to experience something bigger and broader." Ashton insisted on leaving.

Stephanie frowned. "I won't allow it!"

There were too many uncontrollable factors if he went overseas.

"But I still want to go," Ashton said, looking at Steven.

"Have I been too nice to you lately, Ashton? How old are you? I don't mind you leaving, but you have to wait until you're an adult," Stephanie insisted.

Steven got up and grabbed Stephanie. "Let's get Ashton and Xan back into their rooms while we talk for now."

She replied angrily, "What's there to talk about? I won't allow it!"

Stephanie refused to expose her kids to a life full of danger. She had the responsibility to protect them and watch them grow up safely.
