Due to Ian's lack of skill and knowledge, lunch took an hour to finish preparing.
"What's wrong with my mom today?" Ian asked.
"I don't know," Susan answered hesitantly.
"Where did you meet her?" Ian questioned.
Susan stayed silent, not daring to answer his question because she was about to get in someone else's car when she met Sasha.
Susan guilty carried her dishes to the dining table. "Let's eat first and talk later. Mrs. Hayes, lunch is ready."
"Lunch is ready?"
Sasha was having a good time sunbathing on the balcony before Susan called for her. She left the balcony and walked to the dining room.
There were pork ribs, lemon butter fish, mushroom soup, and even steak and salmon.
Sasha was ecstatic at the variety of food.
As she took a seat, gratification filled her when she saw her capable daughter-in-law serving soup for her.
"Mommy, you... Why are you smiling the whole time?"
"Huh?"
Sasha turned her head to see Ian who was observing her with a strange look.
Sasha chided herself internally. I need to control myself.
Susan was preparing to return to campus after lunch while Ian had taken leave that day, so he planned to spend the rest of the day with Sasha.
However, Sasha had already booked her return flight after lunch.
"Ian, Susan, I have to return as your dad is looking for me."
"Huh?"
Both Ian and Susan were stunned at her sudden change in plan, especially Ian.
His heart turned heavy after hearing the news.
"Mommy, didn't you say you plan to stay here for a couple of days? Why is Daddy even looking for you anyway? He couldn't find his shirt at home or he couldn't eat without you by his side?"
"Hey!"
Sasha didn't know how to rebuke Ian's smart mouth.
I'm not heading home for Sebastian but Ian. I need to urgently settle his affairs and matters regarding the Lightburn family and Sigrith.
