With a wry smile on her face, Sasha headed back home feeling utterly disappointed.
It pained Vivian to see her mommy so upset. “Why didn’t Daddy come over for dinner, Mommy? Does he not want us anymore?”
Maybe he really doesn’t want us anymore… No… Now that I’ve decided to take the first step, I won’t let him abandon us!
Having regained her fighting spirit, she gave Vivian’s chubby body a hug and said, “No, Daddy is just a little busy, that’s all. Since we’re moving in tomorrow, we can go to Frontier Bay and invite them over for a meal! Both Daddy and your brothers. What do you think?”
“Okay!”
Vivian giggled and clapped her hands happily.
Avoiding me, are you? Fine, I’ll show up at your doorstep, then! Let’s see how you can hide from that!
Sasha thought to herself with a decisive look in her eyes.
After Matteo and Ian returned to Royal Court One in Frontier Bay, the two of them ran upstairs to confront Sebastian who was in the study.
“Why didn’t you show up for dinner at Grandpa’s, Daddy? Was that on purpose?”
Roxanne was in the study too, and she quickly defended Sebastian when she heard what Matteo said. “That’s where you’re wrong, Matteo. Can’t you see that your daddy is busy working right now?”
However, that only made Matteo even angrier.
“That’s not true! You wouldn’t let Daddy go because you’re afraid of him seeing Mommy! Do you think I don’t know your plans, you evil woman?”
“You…”
Roxanne got mad and stood up from the couch.
Ian quickly pulled his brother behind him. “What are you doing?”
Despite his young age, his tone was almost as cold as Sebastian’s, much to Roxanne’s chagrin.
Eventually, she swallowed her anger and walked up to Sebastian who had been sitting quietly by the desk the whole time. “Sebastian Hayes! Are you going to just sit around and let your kids slander me like this?”
The way she had rudely addressed him by his full name was a lot different from Xandra’s more cautious approach.
However, what Roxanne failed to realize was the fact that she had changed a lot over time.
