Sasha’s heart was pounding. The first time she saw Sebastian was five years ago, on their wedding day. The next day, he left her. She never saw him again, much less set foot in his house at Frontier Bay.
Sasha could vividly recall her times at Hayes Residence. She knew Sebastian had other properties, but she was afraid of poking her nose into his business.
She found it ironic to set foot into Frontier Bay of all places five years later.
On their way there, Sasha admired the late-Autumn view in the city. She caught a glimpse of passersby wandering on the street. The faint illumination from the lamp posts made the bustling city seemed so lonely.
“Madam, Mr. Hayes has just been discharged from the hospital. When you see him, can you please be merciful and tolerate his irrational behavior if he isn’t being his best self? I’m afraid if he gets worked up again, he’ll…”
Sasha looked at Luke through the rearview mirror and stated nonchalantly, “You don’t have to worry. As a doctor, I’m aware of the do’s and don’ts better than you. No matter what, I’ll turn a blind eye.”
Luke heaved a long sigh of relief.
Actually, he couldn’t wait to figure out how she became a renowned doctor after five years.
However, he kept his queries to himself when they drove into the garden of the majestic villa.
He accelerated the car and reached Royal Court One, which was situated in Frontier Bay, ten minutes later.
Sasha thought they had pulled by in front of a palace. The breathtaking rows of sculptures lined up at the entrance of the villa as though soldiers had gathered around and to guard the garden.
Along the hallway were marble stone archways with drooping gold roses. Sasha was impressed by those remarkable pieces and couldn’t help but imagine the scene of exotic flowers and plants in the garden.
Her jaw dropped open as she gaped at the ostentatious decorations.
Has he been living in such a great environment all this while? Am I supposed to consider myself lucky to be given the chance to visit this majestic villa while I’m still alive?
While she feasted her eyes, Luke took his leave. “Madam, Royal Court One belongs to Mr. Hayes. You just have to walk down these archways, and you’ll reach the entrance at the end.”
Am I supposed to go in myself? Doesn’t he need to announce my arrival or something?
Sasha snapped out of her confusion and turned to Luke. “Aren’t you going in with me? I have never been here before! And you haven’t announced my arrival. I don’t think I should make my way in unannounced…”
“It’s fine, Madam. I have informed Mr. Hayes of your arrival. Please feel free to make your way in.”
