The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 170

“Little Ian, you will be sharing a room with Matt from now on, okay? Vivi and Mommy will stay in the other room.”

“Okay.”

The little rascal had completely recovered and was sitting in the backseat as he hugged his brand new pajamas. His cool features could not contain his excitement and contentment at that moment.

His wish had always been that simple, and it was finally going to be fulfilled.

When Sasha caught his smile through the rearview mirror, she couldn’t help feeling ecstatic as well.

They soon reached the preschool and picked up the two other rascals., who were delighted when they got into the car and heard that their brother would be moving in with them.

“Yay! I love having Ian staying with us!”

Vivian had always been a lively and passionate kid, so she practically tackled Ian, wrapping her tiny, plump arms around him to welcome him in the warmest manner.

Matteo was just as excited.

However, he was still bothered by what had happened the previous night, so he held his brother’s hand and asked out of concern, “Ian, are you okay? What happened last night? Is it because—?”

Ian already had his head lowered before Matteo could finish his sentence.

His expression exuded a hint of guilt and panic as he did so.

Upon noticing that, Matteo didn’t say anything.

So my speculation is spot-on. He was deliberately putting on an act to prevent Mommy and Daddy from getting a divorce…

Matteo finally understood what had happened, and the way he looked at his brother changed instantly. For a moment there, he was filled with conflicting emotions. There was one thing that Matteo was certain of, though.

He never blamed Ian for his actions.

Silly kid…

Matteo draped his tiny arm around his brother’s shoulder and comforted him, “It’ll be fine. I know you’re only doing this to prevent Mommy and Daddy from getting a divorce, so I don’t blame you at all.”

Ian lifted his head upon hearing those words.

“Really?”

“Of course. That was also the issue I wanted to discuss with you when I called you earlier. I don’t want them to get a divorce either, so I wanted to brainstorm some ideas with you,” Matteo confessed to his brother in a low voice.

Matteo’s words managed to put Ian at ease.

After clearing all misunderstandings, the three kids resumed their usual playfulness. As always, Ian was sitting quietly like a young gentleman while Matteo and Vivian caused mayhem.

About twenty minutes later, they arrived at the apartment complex.

“I wanna hold Ian’s new pajamas! Give it to me!”

“Then I’ll help Ian with his new slippers.”
