“What?” Sasha slowly lifted her head and wondered if she had heard him wrongly.
Sebastian continued to mock her. “I said, what do you think of yourself now that you’ve seen the children? Haven’t you been boasting about you being a good mother? Are you proud of what you did today?”
His words cut like a blade.
Sasha’s face was ghastly white.
She couldn’t answer his question. Indeed, she felt a sense of guilt towards her children. She felt even more sorry to them for the decision she had made.
No! They forced me to do it.
Sasha shut her eyes. For a moment, her skin was deathly pale.
“Do I have a choice? At least I would still have the chance to see them after I run away. But if I were to fall into your hands, I would be as good as dead. I wouldn’t be able to see them if I’m dead, right?”
Her words pierced through Sebastian’s heart like a sharp blade. He had no words as he sat there with a sting in his heart.
So that was why she ran away.
But why wouldn’t she believe me? Does she really think that I’m my father?
The man grew frustrated.
All of a sudden, he recalled he had not done a single good deed for her ever since they got to know each other. As he thought of this, a ball of anger rose up in his heart.
It’s no wonder she did not believe me at all.
He had been horrible to her and had never treated her well. He would do the same if he were to be in her shoes.
Sebastian stopped talking at once.
“What’s the matter? Why did you stop talking? Am I right?”
Sasha’s expression grew colder with his silence.
Sebastian was so frustrated that his veins popped out of his forehead.
Finally, he couldn’t take it anymore and said, “You must be crazy. What do you mean by falling into my hands? You’ve always been in my hands, isn’t that right?”
Sasha was rendered speechless.
Has he lost his mind?
The man seemed to have found a counterattack point. He got up from his seat and faced her.
“I caught you when you were in Clear. Didn’t I let you see the children then? Even my own son, whom I’ve raised for five years, turned against me. What more do you want? Huh?”
Sasha had no idea what he was talking about.
However, she couldn’t deny that it was not the answer she had anticipated from him. And because of that, she breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.
“He’s my son too!”
