When Sebastian got home at night, the home was already in a ruckus.
Sasha stood before him with her head low and looked pale as if she was ready to get a good round of scolding from him.
“What happened?”
“Please don’t be angry at Madam, Mr. Hayes. Ms. Sabrina insisted on leaving. There’s nothing we could do to stop her.”
Wendy came to Sasha’s defense when she realized things were going out of control.
Sebastian was incensed. He almost flipped the whole table upside down when he found out about it.
“Does she want to get herself killed?”
When Sasha saw Sebastian had gone berserk, she quickly came over and held him.
“Are you okay, Sebby? I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I should’ve stopped her,” Sasha kept apologizing.
“This is not your fault. You stand no chance against her if she wants to leave.”
Sebastian knew this very well.
He was enraged because Sabrina was being intractable. He had already told her clearly about the gravity of the situation, yet she insisted on going her way.
Is she that stupid?
Sebastian was so infuriated he did not even have dinner.
Sasha came over and spoke slowly to Sebastion when she saw this. “Sebby, it’s not a bad thing altogether if you think about it.”
“What do you mean?”
“She’ll know she really stands no chance when she experiences it for herself. She won’t understand unless she has gone through it herself. She will learn her lesson the hard way.”
Sasha looked at Sebastian carefully as she chose the right words.
As she expected, Sebastian felt better after hearing her words.
“I’m not against her loving Devin. I just don’t want her to get herself hurt. You know what that family is capable of…”
Sasha was hoping Sebastian could elaborate further, but he did not.
“Are they really that powerful?”
“I heard from Devin that his uncle fell in love with a commoner many years ago. The whole family was so shaken up they refused to take his remains back even after he had died for so many years. God knows what they did to the girl. They must have gotten rid of her.”
Sebastian lay down in bed and narrated everything with pain and resignation in his voice.
Sasha stared at him quietly.
So his dad did not even get to go back home even in his death.
