Vivian’s eyes instantly turned red at that thought.
Sasha noticed it and assumed that she had a bad day at preschool. Hence, she quickly squatted down and asked, “What’s wrong, sweetie? Did something happen?”
“No. It’s just that… I miss Matt and Ian. Mommy, perhaps Daddy doesn’t want us anymore?” Vivian glanced at her with eyes filled with tears.
Sasha was stunned by her words.
Vivian’s words were like a sharp knife that pierced through her heart. She thought she had forgotten about the pain. Yet, it was now gushing through her heart like waves.
I’ve always known that she kept in contact with her two brothers, but I didn’t expose her for the sake of their relationship. In fact, I’m glad that they could still talk to each other without feeling awkward. Besides, I would be able to gain some information from them.
But, what’s with her sudden question? What does it mean?
Sasha picked Vivian up and hugged her. “Of course not. Why would they do so when they love you so much? They’re just very busy.”
“But Daddy doesn’t talk about me anymore. He spends all his time with Ms. Rocke nowadays. I guess he doesn’t want me anymore.”
Sasha was overwhelmed with sadness when she heard Vivian speak about her true feelings.
I guess she must be very hurt.
So he’s with Roxanne all the time, huh? Perhaps he’s completely forgotten about us.
Sasha held her daughter as her heart was filled with devastation. Then, she recalled Roxanne’s words when she met her at the entrance of the Hayes residence.
She said that Sebastian did not forget me, but I didn’t believe her. But now that I think about it, there seems to be some truth in her words.
For example, he once said he’d feed me to the dogs. Yet, he didn’t do anything to me when we were at the dog pound. Instead, he treated me with kindness.
Similarly, did he really appear at the Blue Enchantress nightclub just to spy on Robert? Was it really just a coincidence? Furthermore, he even carried me to the hotel and made meticulous arrangements for me.
As she recalled the incidents that had happened, she suddenly felt her chest tighten, and it was too painful for her to breathe.
“Don’t worry. Mommy will take you to them on your birthday, alright? Then, you’ll be able to meet them!” she said.
“Really?”
Vivian instantly stopped crying. Her large, reddened eyes gleamed with surprise as she looked at Sasha.
Woohoo! Mommy’s taking me over to visit them! I must quickly tell Ian and Matt this good news!
