“H-Hey!” When she caught a glimpse of Ian and Matteo, her eyes gleamed. Unable to contain her excitement, she started crawling her way over to the kids.
After spending such a long time in the dungeon, she couldn’t even walk properly and would prefer crawling over walking.
As brilliant as the children might be, no ordinary child could withstand such a horrifying scene.
Consequently, they started wailing at the top of their lungs, “H-Help us, Daddy! Mommy!”
“B-Boohoo—”
As they started wailing and alarmed everyone in the house, Sebastian brought himself out of his room and noticed things were chaotic in the living room.
His sister was nowhere to be seen while his children continued screaming at the top of their lungs as the woman crawled her way to them. Their faces had long turned pale.
What’s going on? Where are the rest in the house?
Sebastian arched his brows in confusion and jolted his way down the stairs without any further ado. Immediately after he reached his staggering daughter’s side, he held her in his arms.
Glaring at the crawling woman, he yelled at her in the face and reprimanded, “Frieda, what do you think you’re doing? You’re intimidating your grandchildren!”
Is Shin angry? Is he reprimanding me for intimidating his children? What am I supposed to do to please him?
It was then Frieda brought herself to a halt and looked at the infuriated man in front of him with her lips pursed in an aggrieved manner.
“I-I’m so sorry, Shin! Fay will keep that in mind and refrain from repeating the same mistake in the future!”
She stretched her arms in anticipation of Sebastian spanking her as a form of punishment for her mistakes.
Sebastian was at a loss for words as he couldn’t bear to reprimand the pitiable woman in front of him.
Shin?
Is she referring to my biological father?
Has she misperceived me as my biological father? If that’s the case, has she misperceived my sons as me and gone after them? Is she trying to keep them safe, just like the time in the dungeon?
Sebastian heaved a long sigh of despair and showed his intimidated sons the way to the seemingly lunatic woman in front of them.
“Matt, Ian, she’s not a freaky creature or anything of that sort, okay? In fact, this woman over here is your grandmother.”
