Even though Ian did not say anything at all, he was very thoughtful.
He made a dart towards the kitchen to grab something light for his Mommy. Within a while, he reappeared with milk and newly baked pastry by Wendy in his hands.
The three kids really loved their Mommy very much.
Later in the day, they had a lot of fun with their Mommy in the garden…
By the time Sebastian reached home, it was already almost six o’clock in the evening. There was a reflection from the glint of the sunset on the windscreen of his car. The moment he got out of his car, he was mesmerized by the harmonious view in the garden…
Remnant of the rays from the sunset shone upon the garden, shrouded it with a layer of orange veil. Engulfed by the mysterious veil, the kids were chasing one another among the trees like three agile little rabbits. They were giggling at times, forming melodious music in the air.
How about their mommy? Sebastian shifted his gaze away from the kids and caught a glimpse of her.
She was sitting quietly on the long bench; her long silky hair flowed down her back against her cardigan. Under the soft glow of the sunset, her entire body gave off a vibe of demureness and gracefulness.
Still looking slightly pale, she was obviously a bit weak and had yet to regain her energy. Probably that was why she did not join the kids in their games.
Even so, her lips curled into a serene smile as she gazed at them. The gentle glimmers in her smiling eyes reflected her cheerfulness and liveliness.
She is finally alive again?
Sebastian raised his brows as something came into his mind. Instead of heading towards the villa, he strode into the garden.
All this while, Sasha immersed herself in the kids’ jubilant moments in the garden. Out of a sudden, she felt the seat next to her sank. She turned instinctively, and her pretty eyes widened instantaneously!
“You…” Sasha opened her mouth awkwardly.
“Why are you sitting here when you haven’t really recovered yet, and the wind is chilly. You could easily catch a cold. Aren’t you afraid of falling sick again?”
Sebastian placed his car key, phone, and laptop one by one on the marble table in front of them. His low and charismatic voice was as charming as ever.
He did not sleep at all the previous night.
Early this morning, he went to the hospital to resolve the matter. After that, he had to rush to both the company and the police station. It was such a busy day for him till he barely had time to breathe.
Yet this silly woman relaxed and sit here despite the chilly wind? Does she know that I was having a hard time last night and totally did not sleep at all?
Sasha gulped timidly, suddenly intimidated by his presence.
My goodness! He’s back all of a sudden and I’m not prepared to face him yet.
Does it mean that he is actually… concerned about me?
She looked away hastily to conceal her embarrassment. Her heart suddenly started to pound tremendously, and her dainty face was flushed.
“No… it’s not like that. The kids wanted to come down and play so I’m just accompanying them,” she explained incoherently.
This was indeed the first time she appeared to be nervous and helpless in front of him.
Sebastian’s thin lips lifted into a smile.
Glancing at the kids who were now shrieking excitedly while chasing each other, he leaned against the back of the bench comfortably with his slender legs crossed. At that very moment, he looked exceptionally charming, exuding the aura of elegance and dignity of a noble prince.
