Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 36

“Ian, why didn’t you answer my question? Why did you come down when I clearly told you to stay upstairs? You’ve been getting more disobedient lately!”

When Sebastian found out Matteo had sneaked out of the lounge, he cut his meeting short and came right over to give his son a good scolding.

Mateo felt wronged in all ways, but he could not say anything. He desperately wanted to say he was not the son Sebastian was looking for. However, there was nothing he could do. He totally did not expect Ian to go down.

He sat on the couch and rested his face on his palms, exasperated.

“Could you please give me some peace, Daddy? I’m so frustrated right now. I just want to have some freedom! I’m already five. You can’t keep me indoors my whole life!”

“What did you say?”

Sebastian sat up straight when he heard what Matteo said.

To him, Ian was a quiet kid. He was never a child that talked much, neither would he tell others about his feelings. Ian had always been a withdrawn child. Even when he was angry, he would just lock himself in his room.

Sebastian was befuddled when he heard Ian said he was frustrated from the lack of freedom, and that he wanted to go out and play?

A frown carved between the man’s brows as he got off the chair and walked over. He knew something was wrong.

“Look at me, Ian. Did the doctor say anything to you?”

“Huh?”

Matteo looked up at him and blinked his eyes innocently at his father.

Sebastian’s frown intensified. “I mean the doctor who came in the morning. Did she say anything to you? Why did you suddenly follow her to the company? What happened?”

If Matteo had not known Sebastian was talking about his mother, he would well have thought the man was referring to an evil woman from his interrogative tone. There was enmity and hatred written all over his face as if the woman meant harm to his child.

So, this is how you bully Mommy all the time?

So much for being a man. You deserted a woman and two children, and now you’re talking about her as if she’s the bad person here.

Matteo’s heartbeat quickened as he leaped off from the couch. He stood right up in front of Sebastian and glared at him.

“What do you mean, Daddy? What did she do? She took care of you and brought me here. Did she do anything wrong? Who are you to question her like this?”

Completely dumbfounded, Sebastian never his son could argue! He would always wallow in his own corner when he was angry, and he would not speak to anyone. Since when did he learn to talk back to his father?
