The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 765

“I see. Well, that’s a relief,” replied Devin as he sighed a breath of relief.

He checked his watch and saw that it was almost six o’clock, so he asked, “Do you need to go now? I can take over and care for him if you’d like. You can take the kid home. It’s late, after all.”

“It’s fine. Mr. Hayes has allowed me to live here.”

Devin was momentarily taken aback when he heard how she wasn’t leaving.

He eventually came around and stared at how Sasha was sticking right by Sebastian. That got Devin to grin in exasperation.

That makes sense. He’s her husband, and she has taken so much effort to come to him. Hence, there is no way she’d leave him. I have got to be an idiot to suggest that she head home.

 

Devin turned around and left.

He had just gotten to the ground floor when he saw a chubby little girl walking over. She climbed a little and tiptoed to reach the elevator’s button. It seemed she wanted to go look for her parents.

 

Unfortunately, she was too short. She had already tiptoed, but she still couldn’t reach the button.

This tiny little rascal…

Devin happened to be walking out of the elevator and seeing that got him to chuckle.

“Vivi, what are you doing?”

“Huh?” blurted the cute little girl. Her big round eyes looked at the adult who had just exited the elevator.

“I’m going to the third floor to look for my mommy. Do you know where she is?”

Her baby voice and chubby, round face made her look as beautiful as a doll when she stood there with the orange light engulfing her.

Devin suddenly felt a sting in his heart.

He knew the truth, so he was aware of whose kid the girl truly was.

Unfortunately, her parents can’t be reunited just yet, and a six-year-old like her had to follow her mom everywhere… She even had to refer to her own father as Uncle Sebastian. She is too mature for her age. Devin couldn’t help but feel bad for Vivian.

Devin got out of the elevator and picked the kid up.

He informed, “Your mommy is taking care of your Uncle Sebastian, so let’s not bother them, okay? Let your Uncle Devin take you out and play with you.”

“Huh?”

The small girl stared at the man who was holding her. Suspicion and curiosity shone in her big, round eyes.

He’s going to take me out and play with me? But… why is he being so nice to me? Also, why does he refer to himself as “my” Uncle Devin? Wouldn’t Uncle Devin suffice?

Vivian was a little confused.

“Don’t worry, I am not a bad person. I am your Uncle Sebastian’s cousin, so I won’t kidnap you,” replied Devin when he saw how the little girl was being wary. He couldn’t help finding that funny.
