The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 173

She brought this onto herself.

When she first came back, Sebastian had opted to let bygones be bygones since they had not seen each other in years. He even had a reception party arranged in honor of her. But she had to ruin it all.

Who was to be blamed?

In the end, she only had her strong desire for control to blame.

She thought that, among the members of the Hayes family, she was the one in charge. She wanted to be involved in everything, including Sebastian’s personal matters.

Little did she know that no one really took her seriously.

Sebastian took the two children away without even stepping into the private room.

Matteo, who had watched the whole thing from the sidelines, let out a sigh. “Daddy, where are we going to eat next? I’m starving.”

He felt around his growling tummy.

Sebastian cast a glance his way. He was about to suggest taking them into the city to eat whatever they want but Ian, who sat on Sebastian’s right side, spoke first, “Let’s go to Mommy’s house.”

“What did you say?” Sebastian looked at him in surprise.

Go to Mommy’s house? What does he mean by that? Everything’s going so well, why do they want to go there?

The man was not aware that his eldest son, whom he raised on his own, had spent the whole day with Sasha. They had purchased a new blanket and other daily necessities, keen on settling down for the long term.

Matteo, on the other hand, responded quickly to Sebastian’s confusion. “Yes, let’s do that. Let’s go back to our place. Daddy, you should know, Mommy bought a lot of groceries today. If Ian and I hadn’t been taken elsewhere so suddenly, we would get to eat a lot more of Mommy’s cooking. Isn’t that right, Ian?”

“Right.”

Ian nodded without hesitation.

Sebastian fell into silence.

He did not like what he was seeing.

So, has Sasha managed to bribe these brats into submission already? Seeing how they’re so supportive of her, why don’t I have the honor too? I’m their daddy, after all.

Sebastian was not pleased.

But in the end, after the trio returned to the city, Sebastian took them to Sasha’s apartment complex.

…

“Okay, Vivi. Here comes your favorite drumsticks!”

The mother-and-daughter pair in the apartment unit had no idea that the two boys were coming back home with their daddy. Sasha had just taken out two freshly cooked chicken drumsticks from the oven.

Vivian got excited at the sight of her favorite food.

“Wow, it smells so nice! Thanks, Mommy.”

The little girl quickly picked up a fork and gobbled up the scrumptious meat. Next to her was a bowl of ravioli stuffed with shrimp meatballs that Sasha had made for her. The food was absolutely tempting.
