“Reunite?”
Sebastian’s face fell as his eyebrows furrowed into a frown. It was obvious that he was not happy with the arrangement.
Matteo remained silent as he eyed Ian cautiously.
Ian did not back down but continued, “Yes, reunite. You can’t disagree with this, Daddy. If you do, Matteo and I will not go to school from now onwards. Besides, I can’t promise you that we won’t run away from home to find Mommy in Moranta!”
Damn! Good job, Ian!
Sebastian was so angry that the veins on his forehead were visible. He would have scolded his son if Wendy hadn’t arrived at that moment.
“Mr. Hayes, why don’t you just grant them this wish since they’ve come to an agreement with their mommy. Come on… It is their birthday, after all.”
“Of course not, Wendy. There will be a second time once I agree to the first. After that, they would become dependent on her.”
To make things worse, Roxanne had arrived too.
Wendy’s expression turned sour when she noticed her arrival.
But she knew she did not have much say as a housemaid.
As expected, Sebastian objected to the idea as there was no one else left to convince him.
Furthermore, Sebastian had assigned two bodyguards to stay with both Matteo and Ian all day. He wanted to prevent the matter Ian had mentioned from happening.
Ian said irritatedly, “You’re so mean, and I’m greatly disappointed in you. Mommy’s already taking the first step, and yet you’re still upset with her. Man up, will you?”
Then, he threw his backpack onto the ground and ran away, crying.
The doorway went dead silent. Everyone, including Wendy, Roxanne, Matteo, and the others, did not dare say a word.
Wendy was happy and worried at the same time. While she was glad that the child stood up to his daddy like that, she was also afraid that Mr. Hayes would react negatively.
However, she was disappointed as Sebastian was only stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.
He bellowed as he watched Ian throw the small backpack on the ground and lock himself in his room, “Ian, you come back here this instance! Are you asking for a beating?”
Matteo did not dare speak as he froze by the door.
The glimmer of hope that was once in his eyes vanished instantly.
Meanwhile, Sasha did not sleep well that night.
She noticed that Lance was still very cold toward her, barely speaking to her during dinner.
Perhaps he knew that Solomon hasn’t gone yet?
Sasha let out a sigh as she made up her mind to accept the oil tycoon’s project. With that, she would approach Andy regarding it once she arrived at the office tomorrow. Then, she could use that as an excuse to get someone else to take over Solomon’s case.
