“Are you having fun, Little Ian?”
“Mhm.”
Both of them were sitting in a small wooden boat that could seat only a parent and a child. It wasn’t powered by anything and could only move by manually pedaling and rowing the double oars. Hence, when Sasha pedaled, Ian would use his little hands to row the oars.
His face was flushed and perspiration coated his forehead, but his beautiful eyes were exceptionally bright, which was a stark contrast to his usual aloof self.
Sasha smiled along with him and continued pedaling vigorously, about to bring him to play some more. Just then, her phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Madam, oh my God. What were you thinking? How could you kidnap Ian and run away like that? Goodness gracious, I really can’t… Please, come back quickly or you’ll be done for!”
The moment Sasha answered the call, Luke’s frenzied voice reached her ears.
Her expression fell as she asked, “What’s wrong? He knows? No… I didn’t kidnap Little Ian. He didn’t want to see his grandpa, so I brought him out with me. That’s all.”
Oh God, doesn’t she understand the gravity of the situation now?
Luke didn’t bother to elaborate further. Instead, he begged her to quickly bring Ian back and said that if she didn’t, she would never be allowed to see Ian again.
Sasha finally came to her senses and brought a very reluctant Ian back on shore.
“Little Ian, our fun stops here for today. You just fell sick, so you can’t play too much. Let’s go find Daddy now, okay?”
“Daddy?”
Ian was an immensely intelligent child, so he instantly realized that something was off by listening to his mother’s words.
However, Sasha would never tell him anything she deemed inappropriate for a child’s ears. After coaxing him a little, she carried him back to the car, and they both left the amusement park, heading toward Hayes Corporation.
Twenty minutes later, the car drove into the city center and approached Hayes Corporation.
Then, it rolled to a stop in front of the skyscraper. After receiving the call from Luke earlier, Sasha didn’t have the inclination to go in whatsoever. From Luke’s tone, she knew for a fact that that man would make things difficult for her if she went up.
Unfortunately…
“Ms. Nancy?”
“Oh, alright. I will bring you up, hmm?”
Sasha snapped out of her trance. Glancing at the boy beside her who still looked a little pale and sickly, she alighted the car and brought him down.
“Oh, the president’s son is here. Hi, little one. I see you finally have some time to come over.”
Perhaps because Sebastian often brought Ian to the company, everyone there knew who he was. As soon as Sasha led him in, the front desk receptionist immediately came over to greet him warmly.
Ian never liked speaking, so he merely shot a fleeting glance at her.
