Revenge with Her Quadruplets novel Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Affects His Emotions

"Well...Sir, I'm at the market. Cabbages are really cheap, so I need to buy some. Goodbye!" Elijah said, and he was about to hang up.

Sebastian couldn't allow that.

He immediately made a video call.

Elijah was holding a small pushcart, with a phone in one hand and a milk bottle hanging around his neck.

When he saw the video call, he reluctantly watched as the elders snatched up all the cabbages.

He felt frustrated but accepted the video call.

"Why do you want to see me?" Elijah asked with a bright smile.

Sebastian saw that Elijah was indeed in the market. His little face was rosy from the heat.

He was pulling a small cart. He had a milk bottle hanging around his neck and was wearing a white sun hat, a white t-shirt, and denim overalls, which made him look cute.

Suddenly, Sebastian got emotional and felt bad for him. He had never expected to witness such a heart-wrenching scene.

"Elijah, where's your mother?" he asked, trying to hold back his anger. How could his mother let such a little child go to the market alone?

"Oh! My mommy? She has something to do," Elijah answered while feeling confused.

Sebastian looked at him, overwhelmed by compassion. His son was so young, yet he was out here shopping and would have to cook when he got back.

Sebastian didn't dare to imagine what kind of life they had been living all these years.

"Elijah, why did you go out to buy groceries by yourself?" Sebastian suppressed the pain in his heart as he asked.

"Oh! Grandma is sick and can't look after us these days. Both our mommies don't know how to cook, and I like buying groceries."

"Mommy says that life is meant to be experienced by ourselves, and only by doing things and seeing them for ourselves, can we learn true skills. Mommy says we have to start with small things and do them well."

With these words, Elijah pulled his cart towards a nearby stall.

While Sebastian was silent, he looked at the stall owner and asked, "I want to buy some chicken meat, the kind that's good for making delicious soup."

Sisi was injured, so he needed to make him some chicken soup.

"Sure, little buddy. Just like last time, I'll pick out the best for you," the vendor said with a friendly grin.

"Thanks a lot! Wish you good business," Elijah replied. He was a sweet kid, and the vendors liked him and often gave him a little extra.

But Elijah never took more than he paid for; his mom taught him not to be greedy.

"That's 15 dollars in total," the vendor said while smiling.

Elijah glanced at Sebastian with smiling eyes.

"I've got to hang up now. I'm going to pay with PayPal. Thanks for calling; let's chat again sometime later."

"Okay."

Sebastian's heart was aching.

After ending the call, he stared out the window. It was a scorching noon, and Elijah's face was reddened from the sun. However, he showed no signs of complaints and seemed to be genuinely enjoying himself.

The little child had two godmothers, but they had him go shopping and cook for them.

Thinking of this made Sebastian angry, but he couldn't do anything for now. He was afraid to disturb Elijah's mom, who would take him and disappear for good.

He needed to think this over and make plans.

"Sebastian," the voice of Samuel came from outside.

Sebastian raised his eyes and saw Samuel walking over in a hurry.

"Sebastian, I heard that Waylon was taken away by Eleanor. Is that true?" Samuel asked. He had been taking a vacation in the fishing village and had only learned about it this morning.

Sebastian's face turned grim and said, "No, Dad. Who told you this?"

"It was Matthew. He called me and asked how I was doing this morning and mentioned it. I rushed back immediately. Have you found Waylon?"
