Sebastian returned home that very night.
Indeed, the moment he landed, he received a call from Saul.
“Sebastian, are you back? We’re at the hospital now. You can come here after landing.”
“No. I need to go home,” Sebastian declined coolly.
Karl didn’t try to convince him to change his mind, for he knew how much his boss hated Frederick. At least he had agreed to come back for now.
Back at the Wand residence, Wendy greeted him warmly. “Mr. Hayes, welcome back home. It’s good to see you!”
Sebastian nodded and came in, exhaustion showing on his face. He took a look at the lit-up hallway and asked, “Where are they? Are they asleep?”
“Yes. They were waiting for you, but I told them you went to look for their mommy, and they should eat and sleep well. They agreed to go to bed so you won’t worry about them,” Wendy revealed and sighed.
Why can’t they have a happy life? Why won’t their rivals leave them alone?
“Got it. You can go to bed now.”
Sebastian couldn’t really tell her anything, so he told her to go to bed.
Wendy put down the cup of tea she had been holding and left.
She wanted to ask why Sasha didn’t follow him back, but she chose not to say anything in the end.
The answer was obvious from Sebastian’s weariness.
Mrs. Hayes, I hope you can return soon.
Karl came in and saw Wendy returning to her bedroom. Worried that his boss might fret, he reported, “Mr. Hayes, don’t worry. I’ve sent someone to monitor Ken Sato. I’ll inform you right away if something happens.”
“I know.”
Hearing Sebastian’s response, Karl offered his opinion carefully. “Also, I think they won’t hurt Mrs. Hayes before getting your father’s shares. You don’t have to worry for the time being.”
“Mm,” Sebastian mumbled in approval.
He had the same idea in mind. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come home that swiftly.
Sebastian went upstairs to the kids’ rooms. Normally, the kids would sleep in their respective rooms, but tonight, they were sleeping in the same bed.
Under the alluring moonlight that sipped through the windows, their sleeping silhouettes intertwined on the bed. Strangely, Sebastian felt guilty at the sight.
