At first, Kelsie didn't notice the man standing like a statue in front of her as she was busy making sure her children were well covered up.
When the people whose view Jett was blocking realized he wasn't moving away, they began hurling insults at him impatiently.
"Who's this jerk? Why is he blocking everyone's train of sight?"
"What do you think you're doing? Do you think you're the owner of this cinema or what?"
"If you're not here to watch and just want to stand, go to the back and do so!"
"Some of us are enjoying the movie, get out of the way before we do it for you!"
Naturally, they were yelling loudly which caused Kelsie to pause and glance in front of her to see who they were yelling at.
The moment she did, her eyes met with that of Jett's.
Despite their yelling, Jett didn't move an inch, but his dark eyes were pinned on Kelsie and he maintained his stoic expression.
Kelsie frowned a little, her eyes dimming slightly.
Why was this cash cow of hers everywhere she went? What was he even doing here? She didn't take him for the type who went to cinemas for movies.
She suddenly noticed the person standing behind him and craned her neck slightly to take a better look at him.
Seeing this, Daniel quickly lowered his eyes to the floor. Because of how dark the room was, Kelsie couldn't exactly make out his face nor could she identify the color of his suit.
She shrugged slightly and leaned back on her seat then narrowed her eyes slightly at Jett.
Other men come to cinemas with their female dates, but he came with a man instead. So the rumors about him liking men were true then.
Recalling something else, she gave him a quick once-over, her gaze hovering at his face before they wandered down to his shoes.
Then she looked away from him, shaking off the silly thought that had been hovering in her mind lately.
Her son looked nothing like him.
She mentally patted herself on the shoulder at her good taste in men.
Even as a child, she knew better than to hook up with a rude and narcissistic tyrant like him.
As she commended herself, the man in front of her was fuming silently.
This shameless woman!
As if stalking him here wasn't enough, she even dared to check him out in front of her little ones!
He clenched his jaw tightly and turned around to leave when Daniel quickly caught his hand.
He kept his eyes lowered to the floor as he tried to reason with him, "There's no other seat available. And if you try to leave in the middle of the movie, you'll spoil it for everyone."
"They might file a complain about the poor cinematic experience and not come here again. Think of the loss you'll accrue after today."
Jett snatched his hand away from him and scoffed, "I don't care."
Daniel kept his face lowered to the floor as he continued, "Where would you go if you leave here? If you go to the back, you'll end up standing until the end of the movie."
"Do you have any idea how long the movie is? The flier said it's more than two hours. Do you really want to remain standing for over two hours?"
Seeing them whisper to each other in such close proximity made Kelsie believe she was right about his sexuality.
Halfway convinced, Jett exhaled lightly and sat down beside Kelsie.
For some reason, his seat didn't have a handle. But it had one big handle which was merged with that of Kelsie's.
He glanced behind him and in front of him to confirm if this was the new design only to realize every other seat had their own handles.
In the end, he concluded it was a mistake from the company who made the seats.
Unknown to him, Daniel had specially asked for the two handles to be merged into one after pulling strings and making sure he would be seated next to Kelsie.
Instead of resting his hand beside Kelsie's, Jett folded his hands across his chest and leaned back on his seat with a tight frown on his face.
Meanwhile, the triplets quickly forgot what they had come to do the moment their eyes landed on the screen.
It was the third season of a newly released cartoon which aired a long time ago. So the cinema was packed to the brim with adults, as most of the adults here had watched the first and second seasons when they were much younger.
After two hours, the cartoon came to an end and a lot of satisfied faced walked out of the theater beaming happily.
However, Jett had merely managed to sit through the entire two hours and couldn't wait to glare at the woman who sat comfortably beside him the entire time.
"Don't you feel any shame doing this?"
Kelsie stared up at him in confusion.
"What?"
Thinking she was feigning ignorance, the man slipped his hands into his pockets and spat out in disdain, "You're married with three children, but you still stalk and try to flirt with other men."
"I already told you the other day that no matter what happens, I'll never fall for your schemes. So give up now and focus on loving your children's father!"
Recalling this was the same thing he said in the elevator the other day, Kelsie suddenly realized why and got up to glance around her.
He made sure to push her out of the elevator on a floor with a lot of people. It was definitely so they'd change their thoughts about him being into men.
So now that he was saying this, could it be someone in the theater recognized him?
When she didn't see anyone looking in his direction, she turned back to him with a look of understanding, "I don't see anyone. Or has the person who saw you on a date left already?"
Her retort naturally confused him.
"Excuse me?"
Kelsie shook her index finger in front of him as she continued with a small smile, "Mr. Adler, no one is bold enough to talk about the fact you're into men."
"So there's no need to say such an offensive thing to me. I'm not and will never be into a man like you."
Daniel who was chugging down a bottle of water immediately choked on it.
