She was relieved to see the three children outside. At that moment, Vivian was carrying a huge watermelon and could barely hold it.
Hence, she was pleading with her brothers to help her.
Finally, Ian relented and carried the watermelon into the house.
After that, he knowingly led his siblings upstairs, leaving his parents in the yard to sort things out.
“Sebby, are you… angry? I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have done that. I…”
Sebastian, whose hands were filled with groceries, hardly showed his displeasure.
However, his expression was still frosty. In fact, he didn’t look at her when he plainly replied, “No.”
With that, he went straight into the house with the groceries.
Sasha’s face turned pale.
And yet, he says that he isn’t angry.
She ran after him at once.
“Sebby, l-let me explain. I didn’t do it on purpose. I-it’s just that… after Peter gave me the share transfer agreement, Sabrina came to see me. Since I didn’t want to see what you have built given away to others, I… I went along with Sabrina’s plan.”
Just like a guilty child, she continued following him from behind.
However, Sebastian ignored her completely.
After he entered the kitchen, he began sorting out the groceries and preparing the ingredients.
She felt as if she was invisible to him.
As her eyes reddened, she wondered what she could do to pacify him.
“Sebby, don’t be angry, alright? I have regretted my actions.” Left without a choice, she reached out her hands to hug him from behind.
If it was any other time, he would have been delighted.
But this time, with her hands outstretched, she saw him raise his hands from the sink to stop her. “Out you go. Or else, you will dirty your clothes.”
She was dumbfounded.
After glancing at him with tears whirling in her eyes, she pouted before leaving the kitchen.
Evidently, she had messed up big time given how angry he was.
Having returned to the inner courtyard, Sasha sat on the steps in frustration.
“Mommy? Stupid Mommy?”
“Huh?”
With her hands cupping her face, Sasha lifted her gaze and noticed her three children waving at her.
What are they…
When she saw the disappointed look on their faces, she gradually picked herself up and went upstairs.
“What do you want?”
“We want to help you, of course. Mommy, you have gone overboard this time. After Daddy brought you back, he was so angry that he asked Mr. Karl to give him a jab.”
