“Ms. Wand resents Sebastian a lot for all that he has done to her. Hence, it’s reasonable for her to feel apprehensive when you suggested that she don’t divorce Sebastian. However, I don’t understand why you are doing this all of a sudden? Before this, didn’t you really wish for her to stay?”
The butler brazenly got the burning question off his chest.
Just as he spoke, Frederick, who had reached the car with his walking stick, stopped in his tracks.
Why?
Perhaps, she was more suited when she was obedient and could be controlled.
But now, the situation had changed. She was no longer the lady by his side. Instead, she had someone else by hers.
And that person, was someone that he couldn’t control.
The thought that he had a clueless daughter caused Frederick’s expression to darken. With that, he proceeded to leave.
That night, when Sebastian returned home, he could feel that the atmosphere was different.
“You’re back.”
Under the bright lights of the dining room, Sasha was in her apron as she stood beside the table filled with food. Her hair was tied to the back in a ponytail, exposing the flawless complexion of her face. It also accentuated her exquisite features and it was a pretty sight to behold.
Today, he was especially mesmerized by her glistening eyes when she smiled, just like the sparkling waters of a spring in the desert.
“Hmm, where are the children?” he asked.
Realizing he was staring rudely, he averted his gaze and took out his laptop as a distraction.
Sasha came over and pulled out his chair for him. Also, she gave him a hot towel to clean his hands.
Sebastian was curious.
What is she doing?
“They already had dinner. Given how late it is now, they should likely be sleeping,” Sasha replied plainly as she filled Sebastian’s plate.
It was already past nine and indeed late for the children.
Sebastian didn’t say another word as he sat down and prepared to eat.
However, just when he wanted to dig in, he noticed that she didn’t walk away. Instead, she pulled up a chair and sat down. All she did was check her phone and didn’t interrupt him.
That itself was something out of the ordinary.
When he came home previously, she would never be there to serve him. But now that she was accompanying him for dinner, it was enough to arouse his suspicions.
Is there something on her mind?
