At the end of the day, he was nothing more than an ordinary man. The rumors stated that he was a cold-blooded father even after Shin’s death.
But in truth, no one knew that he had spent a lot of time mourning in Shin’s study, usually for the entire night.
Therefore, he was especially delighted to see the three children.
As to whether he meant Sebastian or Shin when he made his comment, it was impossible to know.
“That’s right. They do look very much like him. In Avenport, whoever sees them will immediately recognize them as Sebastian’s kids.”
“Is that so? What about the little girl? Why can’t I find a clearer photo of her?” Jonathan questioned.
Gripped by anxiety, Sabrina quickly thought of an excuse. “The little girl is mischievous and doesn’t like taking photos. Besides, I wasn’t in Avenport often.”
“I see.”
Jonathan let out a look of disappointment.
However, he didn’t press the issue any further.
Only then did Sabrina flee the study after the close shave.
The moment she stepped out, she ran into Devin who had come to look for her after realizing she had been gone long. She grabbed onto his hand and quickly pulled him aside.
“What am I going to do? Your grandpa is asking about the three children.”
“What?”
Devin’s expression drastically changed.
“What did you tell him?”
“What else can I say? Given the perilous condition your family is in, it’s not even safe for my brother, let alone the children. I’m not confident the old man can protect them,” Sabrina answered in exasperation.
Devin didn’t respond.
Sabrina was right. Although Sebastian himself had done many things, Charles, Connor, and Candice were out for his blood.
Furthermore, they had managed to deal him serious injury every time.
The facts showed that Jonathan was unable to protect him.
If an adult could fall into such a situation, what more three defenseless children.
Devin sighed. “Fine. Just don’t say anything. I’ll continue to monitor his actions.”
“Mmm-hmm. Just to cover my tracks, I had to mention Calvin just now. Hence, he may start looking for him. Since Calvin is Sebastian’s subordinate, I’m not sure what other secrets he holds. Hence, if he is found, I hope you can let me see him first,” Sabrina reminded him about Calvin.
Devin nodded in acknowledgment.
