After twenty minutes, the three of them finally finished watching the TV and Sebastian switched it off.
“Alright, shall we go to bed now?”
“Yes, Daddy.”
Matteo was more clingy. After agreeing readily, he clung onto Daddy like an octopus, feeling sleepy.
Sebastian felt helpless but carried him anyway.
At the same time, he used the other hand and held his eldest son on his left.
Midnight at the villa was extremely quiet. Moreover, it was winter. Not even a sound of an insect could be heard. After the three of them came up, besides the sound of the central heater, there was a pin-drop silence on the second floor.
“Hm? why is the lights in Mommy’s room on?”
Matteo was observant. He quickly spotted the room at the end of the corridor, in which there was an orange light coming from there.
A faint sound of running water could be heard.
Ian understood immediately.
Suddenly, he pulled his hands from Daddy and ran back to his room with a gloomy face.
Bam!
He shut the door violently.
Matteo and Sebastian were too stunned to speak.
Before he could speak, a woman wrapped in a towel with a head full of bubbles came running from the room at the end of the corridor.
“What happened? What’s with the loud sound?” She was dumbfounded and stared at the pair of father and son, who were in shock.
So she was living there? Seems like she does have some self-awareness that she had already moved the things upstairs down here? Great!
The gaze of the man turned cold. With an unknowing smile, he said, “You’re asking me?”
Then, he put down Matteo and left.
Sasha was left standing dumbfounded at the door.
Wait, what did I do wrong again that made him so angry? Haven’t I already moved my things down? Not annoying him, not being an eyesore nor giving him distress. I was doing a great job. Is he not satisfied?
Sasha felt exhausted.
Without another choice, she called over the youngest son who was left in the corridor. “Come over Matteo. Mommy will help you shower after I’m done, okay?”
Matteo was silent.
After a sigh, he drooped his head and went to Mommy’s room dejectedly.
Sebastian was moody as usual, just like Ian!
The family barely had any sleep that night.
Except Vivi who was innocent and clueless.
