Twelve? That year, Sasha was eight and had just started primary three.
Did I ever give him a piece of bread?
Sasha couldn’t remember doing so at all. During that time, she had been engrossed with writing to the boy who had been locked up because of her. With her childish handwriting, she would write her letters word by word carefully.
Therefore, she couldn’t recall such an incident at all.
“I don’t need your protection, neither do I remember ever giving you anything. If I really did, I want to tell you that I regret doing so. My act of kindness doesn’t give you the right to manipulate me by pretending to be noble!”
Sasha’s words were extremely harsh.
Just like a knife, they cut through Solomon’s heart, causing him to go through an avalanche of emotions.
He had indeed pretended to be noble.
Despite claiming that he was protecting her for noble reasons, only he knew what his true agenda was.
He had gotten to know her in Clear for five years. When Sebastian brought her back to Avenport, he followed her there too. And then, there was Wall Street and also that night itself.
How dare he claim that he has not done anything to harm me?
If I remember correctly, the year he’s talking about was also the same year Xenia transferred to my school. Coincidentally, she was in primary six.
Sasha closed her eyes and didn’t say another word.
The next day, when the plane landed in Moranta, it was already daylight; another brand new day had arrived.
“Mommy, have we arrived?”
When Vivian got off the plane, she was greeted by the sight of unfamiliar buildings. She hugged her mother tightly, feeling nervous yet curious as she scanned her surroundings.
Picking her up, Sasha nodded. “That’s right. We’re here. From now on, both of us will be living together in this place.”
Despite missing her brothers, the young girl grunted in acknowledgment still.
When both of them left the airport, Solomon was nowhere to be seen. Sasha couldn’t care less about the man; all she wanted to do was hail a cab and head home.
A lanky youth suddenly called out to her, “Sha, over here.”
That was when she realized that Lance had come to pick them up.
Perhaps, Solomon informed him about my arrival before he left.
