Chapter 0319
“Oh, piece of cake.” Zion winks, “I did ok.”
He had spontaneously joined in on a winter competition last week and placed
first.
“More than okay, he placed first,” I say, making them all turn to me.
My heart thuds, wishing I didn’t speak as Sebastian tilts his head, walking past the children.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less from our son,” he says, his voice dropping a few octaves. “How have you been, Zaia?”
I try to smile, but my lips tremble slightly, trying not to focus on the fact he’s closing the distance between us.
“I’ve been great. How about yourself?” I ask, internally kicking myself at how breathless I sound.
Sia giggles as Xander gags, crouching down by the door and scooping up snow.
Sebastian smirks arrogantly, almost as if he knows exactly how he affects me. Who am I kidding? Of course, he does.
“Even better now,” he responds.
I wrap my arms around my waist and try to squash the sizzling tension between us. “You said the flight is delayed?”
He takes out his phone and nods. “I’m afraid so, but there’s a snowstorm. I don’t even know if the flight will be taking off tonight,” he frowns.
“What?!” Xander exclaims, looking appalled.
“Let’s stay positive,” Sebastian says. “We will be updated soon.”
Sia smiles, “Well, either way, it’s ok, maybe we’ll get to celebrate Christmas together, here.” She winks at Zion, who nods his agreement.
“That is, of course, if the snow just gets
if the snow just gets worse,” he adds.
These two…
“We’ll work something out,” Sebastian says.
If that happened, does that mean Sebastian will stay here? Panic rises in me, and I run my fingers through my hair. How will I survive a few days in his presence?

Why am I acting like a giddy teenager? It’s going to be fine, it will be fine… But I haven’t been alone with just the kids with him…
Goddess Zaia, you are a grown woman.
“Well, why don’t you guys go to the lounge? I will get some hot drinks. I don’t have any extra clothes, but do you want to dry off?” I ask.
“I’ll be fine, unless you’re ok with me walking around in a towel?” he responds.
My cheeks burn as the image in my head only makes me even more flustered.
Xander gags again. “I don’t want to see Daddy’s hairy legs,” he grumbles, making the rest of us laugh.
Sebastian smirks as he cocks a brow, looking at our youngest.
“You will be hairy one day too,” he replies as he walks over to him, picking up some snow, rolling it into a small ball and tossing it at his head.
“No, I won’t!” Xander replies with utmost confidence as he grabs the snow and tosses it at Sebastian.
“Keep the snowball fight outside,” I warn as Xander tosses some inside and I step back, and it narrowly misses me.
“Understood,” Sebastian says as he steps outside. “Who’s up for a snowball fight?”
“I am!” Sia says as Zion nods. He looks at me, but I shake my head.
“You all enjoy, I’ll go make some hot drinks for when you’re done.”
He smiles, giving me a small nod. “Sure.”
That boy… Sometimes it’s like he knows something, or he’s up to something!
I make my way into the kitchen and close the door behind me, placing a hand to my chest, not realising just how much it was pounding..
Goddess…
I close my eyes but only Sebastian’s face remains, and I sigh, opening again.,
Well, I should put together a quick snack.
When is the flight delayed until, anyway?
