Ian leaned over. “Mommy, is Aunt Sabrina bringing you home? I can tell Grandpa to pick you up at the airport if that’s the case.”
Huh?
Sasha shook her head fervently. “No need. Your Aunt Sabrina won’t be returning so soon, but we will return as soon as she’s done with her work here.”
It’s tough, having to lie to a genius son.
It was an anxious conversation for Sasha.
Luckily, Vivian took over in the end.
“Then when are you coming back, Mommy? We missed you.”
Her childish sobs almost crushed Sasha’s heart.
I want to go back, too.
But, I can’t ever go back, my sweeties.
Sasha tried her best to keep the pain and despair in check as she comforted her kids. “Soon. I’ll return very soon.”

Sebastian was currently staying at Sabrina’s mansion with a dejected look on his face.
Ian frowned. “Mommy called a while ago. She said that she was with Aunt Sabrina. Do you know about this?”
Sebastian grumbled, “Yes, I know. What about it?”
“Why is she with Aunt Sabrina? Didn’t you go looking for her? Why aren’t you with her? Also, she told us to take our meals properly, sleep well, and listen to Ms. Rocke. What does she mean?”
Sebastian’s muddled brain couldn’t process Ian’s words.
Take your meals properly and sleep well?
What is she saying?
“Daddy, could it be that Mommy don’t want us anymore?”
“That’s im—”
