He darted upstairs without even changing his shoes after he got in. He looked around and went toward the beam of light shining through the door.
“You’re back?”
Sasha was reading the children bedtime stories as they sat around her on the floor carpet. When she heard the door open, she looked up with anticipation and smiled widely at him. The yellow light from the bedside lit the room dimly and the scene warmed Sebastian’s heart.
She’s so happy to see me.
He felt a gush of bliss in his heart.
Sebastian took off his shoes before entering. “How’s Matteo?”
“He’s better now. I think he ate something wrong. I heard from Vivi that they had some peaches at their grand-uncle’s place.”
Seeing Sebastian coming over to take care of Matteo, Sasha stood up and got ready to go downstairs to make Sebastian something to eat.
“You don’t have to cook anything. I had dinner with the staff at the company just now. It’s the last day of the month.”
“Ah, right.”
Sasha stopped and went back to the children.
She realized that it had become a habit for her to cook for Sebastian. It used to be him asking her to do so, but somehow she started doing it even when he did not even ask her to.
After spending some time with the children, Sebastian asked her to go upstairs with him so he could check if she had gotten better.
She asked Wendy to come over and take care of the children before following Sebastian to his room.
“What is the medication you gave me? I’m feeling a little dizzy.”
“How would I know? I’m not the doctor here.” Sebastian threw the tube of medication aside and carried her over to the bed.
When Wendy heard the noise upstairs, she smiled and pulled Vivian back to her room so she would stop looking for Sasha.
As for Ian, he had always wanted his parents to spend more time together.
When morning came the following day, Sasha woke up to the first ray of the sunshine. She had had a good night’s rest. Just as she was about to stretch, she was surprised to find herself hugging Sebastian like a bolster.
She thought it was really a pillow.
She shook herself awake and was horrified.
Sasha stared at the man up close for a long time before her gaze softened.
What a handsome man!
