However, instead of responding to her question, he went to the TV cabinet in the living room, where he rummaged for a large set of Lego blocks and began to play with them on his own.
Sasha was stupefied by his actions.
It’s like he’s telling me that he doesn’t want to go back. Now what? Do I… just leave him here?
It should be fine if Ian did not want to return. This place seemed to be fully equipped with everything the boy needed, as though it was exclusively prepared for him. Furthermore, when she brought him here the last time she came over to deliver medicine, hadn’t he stayed with that man the whole afternoon?
Hence, Sasha chose to let him be for now. She planned to head downstairs and inform Luke before going back.
However, what irked her was that when she came down, not only was Luke not in the president’s office, but the man she loathed the most was also nowhere to be seen.
Where did they go?
She was getting agitated as she could not find Luke and did not know where he had gone to. What now? Should I go look for him again?
Sasha’s frustration was building up.
Right then, the phone on Sebastian’s desk rang.
Ring, ring…
Sasha paused in her tracks for a moment, then turned to leave.
It was impossible for her to be bothered with phone calls right now, especially when she did not even want to meet the owner of the office she was currently in or spare the man a glance. So why would she even care about his affairs?
All of a sudden, a small figure appeared across from her, “Answer the phone!”
“What?”
Sasha whipped her head around, surprised to see her son, who seemed to have followed her without her knowing.
Ian looked up at her. “Daddy’s phone calls are very important. We can go home after you answer it!”
Still holding onto the Lego blocks, the boy stepped into the office.
Sasha deliberated with herself.
Fine, I’ll see who’s calling so that I can take him home after this.
Sasha picked up the phone and greeted, “Hello.”
“Hello!”
Surprisingly, after the call got through, the caller on the other end spoke in Jetroinian.
Arching her eyebrows, Sasha replied in fluent Jetroinian, “Good day, how can I help you?”
When the other party heard that Sasha could also speak Jetroinian, they were quite pleased. Meanwhile, the little boy playing with Lego blocks in the room also turned to look at her.
