The sweet and melodious voice of a woman echoed from the phone. The mic was off, but they were in a luxurious car with amazing features that shielded them from the rest of the world.
Hence, the lady’s voice could still be heard.
Sasha immediately lost any desire to sleep. She paid attention and eavesdropped.
“Got it. I’ll update you on this matter tomorrow,” replied Sebastian.
To Sasha’s surprise, she heard how the guy never rejected the girl.
Sasha’s heart dropped. The joy she felt earlier dissipated instantly.
He didn’t reject her advances? Does that mean he’s actually replacing me? There no changes to his stance over the past two days? Or did he go to another doctor without me knowing?
Sasha was devastated, but she didn’t show it. She kept her eyes closed and from a distance, she looked like she was sound asleep.
At ten o’clock that night.
The luxurious car finally made it to Oceanic Estate, and Sasha sensed the car stopping, so she opened her eyes right away.
“Are we there?”
“Yeah. Dr. West, please take Mr. Hayes into the house while I park the car.”
“Okay.”
Sasha quickly got out of the car and grabbed the wheelchair over.
By then, the Oceanic Estate had become quiet, and the kid was already asleep.
When Sasha pushed Sebastian into the house, the housemaids saw her and greeted her warmly. They even showed concern toward her.
That got Sasha to grin and thank them.
After that, she tilted her head to the man sitting in the wheelchair and informed, “I’ll go take care of my kid now, Mr. Hayes.”
Sebastian didn’t reply.
He showed no emotions when he got himself into the elevator. His gaze remained distant, and it was as if he didn’t hear a word she said. In fact, he disregarded her so much that he didn’t even look at her.
Sasha couldn’t speak.
She couldn’t help feeling disappointed. She slumped her shoulders and head down before turning around to go to the sofa and get the kids.
“Macy West, did you even have a plan on your life and career?”
That sudden question was from the man who had just entered the elevator. His tone suggested that he had been angry with her for a while but had been holding it in the entire time.
Sasha was stunned.
Plan? What does he mean?
She turned around and stood in front of the guy before asking, “Mr. Hayes, what do you mean?”
“You went to work and left a kid all alone at home! Aren’t you worried about something happening to her? She’s just a young kid. Don’t you think it’s mean of you to leave her there and fend for herself?”
As Sebastian spoke, he pointed at Vivian who was resting on the sofa.
Surprisingly, he wasn’t hiding his true feelings at that moment.
There was anger, disappointment, and… pain.
