“Daddy, are you having a fight with Mommy again? Why is she trying to run away from home?”
Sasha’s eyes widened in disbelief.
What does he mean by I’m trying to run away from home? I’m merely going back home, okay? Can Ian phrase his sentences properly and be mindful of his choice of words?
As soon as the startled Sasha took over the little boy’s smartwatch, she heard Sebastian’s low and hoarse voice. “What do you mean she’s running away from home? Where is she going?”
“I don’t know, Daddy!” Ian replied petulantly.
Sasha wanted to explain she would be making a trip back to her leased apartment instead of running away from home, but seconds after she lost herself in a train of thoughts, she heard the man’s voice from the other end of the conversation again.
Perhaps Sebastian was aware Ian was frustrated. He chuckled and instructed the little boy, “Ian, go tell the bodyguards to keep an eye on your mother, okay? Tell them if they let her get away, I’ll break their legs once I’m home.”
Sasha was completely stunned while her children rushed out of the room after they heard their father’s instructions.
They approached the bodyguards and repeated their father’s instructions to keep their mother grounded against her will.
That scum must have been possessed by an evil spirit, hasn’t he?
Sasha had no choice but to spend another day at the spacious villa with her beloved children.
In the evening, Sebastian finally arrived home.
Sasha, who was cleaning up the living room after playing with her children, was about to sprint up the stairs. Unfortunately, it was too late. He had walked into the foyer with a bunch of files and a laptop.
“Where are you going? Come over and hold this for me.”
“O-Oh… O-Okay…”
Sasha finally brought herself up and dreaded her steps over, holding the bunch of files and the laptop he had with him.
Sebastian had to deal with all sorts of things. Occasionally, he would bring some documents home and carry on with the unfinished work at home.
Oddly, Luke, who would usually tag along with him, was nowhere to be seen.
Holding on to the things he had handed over to her, Sasha stood right where she was rigidly and avoided the man’s gaze at all costs. She couldn’t wait to hand the things back to the man after he changed into a pair of indoor sandals.
She was on the verge of breaking down, but he showed no signs of retrieving his things.
Instead, he looked down upon her and held his chest high while delivering his instructions, muttering in a callous tone, “Bring those upstairs for me.”
“Huh?” Sasha arched her brows in confusion. But the man with a slender pair of legs had long departed after he made himself clear.
She braced herself and brought the documents upstairs as demanded.
