“What do you mean they aren’t asking for too much? The Wand family and the Hayes are no longer related, so it would be unfair to Roxanne if I were to give that woman a chance to get near me!”
“Huh?” Wendy was completely taken aback by his response.
Give her a chance? How could he say that? Has he forgotten how he used to treasure her like she meant the world to him? The others may not be aware, but I know that very well!
However, she quickly understood why when she saw the cold and indifferent look in his eyes.
Oh, right… Of course… Mr. Hayes has already forgotten all about their past… His memories of her have been erased, so there’s no way he would care about her!
Wendy could only let out a sigh as she watched Sebastian walk away.
The next morning, Matteo and Ian looked listless after waking up as they were still upset about last night.
Wendy could only try to comfort them when she saw that. “Come on, cheer up! Since your daddy is off work today, I’ll have him take you boys out to the amusement park, okay?”
“No!” Neither Matteo nor Ian wanted anything to do with Sebastian at the time.
With no better alternative, Wendy could only carry on with her work while the two played in the hanging garden on the second floor.
To her surprise, she heard the boys screaming excitedly moments later, “It’s Mommy and Vivi! Look! They’re here!”
“Yeah! Over here, Mommy!”
Standing by the fence of the hanging garden, Ian waved at the white car that was pulling up into the driveway below.
Sasha had driven here in a brand new car she bought after making up her mind the night before.
She rolled the windows down when she saw the two boys shouting excitedly and called out to Vivian who was in the child car seat, “Look, Vivi! Your brothers are welcoming you!”
“Really?”
Vivian was preparing the breakfast that she had brought them and stuck her head out the window when she heard that.
“Matt! Ian! Come on downstairs! I brought you two a lot of tasty treats!”
“Yay!”
Just like that, the two boys who felt depressed moments ago came running downstairs happily in a heartbeat.
A few minutes later, all four of them were standing by the front door, and Wendy hurried over to let them in.
