Raymond quickly agreed, but he disapproved of the idea of them staying in a hotel.
âOf course! But how can you stay at a hotel when you came all the way here? Youâre welcome to stay
at my manor. Iâll take you guys there. Letâs go!â
Then, the blond man carried Vivian in one hand, pulled Sashaâs luggage in another, and headed to the
parking lot.
Ian didnât look very happy.
Seeing this, Matteo immediately held Ianâs hand. âMr. Leonard is just a business associate of
Mommyâs. Donât worry. Mommy wonât be with him.â
âReally?â
After hearing that, Ian finally looked at his brother feeling a little uneasy.
Matteo immediately assured him. âItâs true. Mr. Leonard is a nobleman. Although heâs single, his family
would not allow him to marry a commoner. Besides, Mommy has her hands full with little troublemakers
like us.â
The little kid actually mocked himself as a troublemaker.
Hearing this, Ian was finally relieved.
However, when he thought of the current situation, he felt a little frustrated again. âThen, what about
Daddy? Mommy really doesnât want him anymore?â
âDonât you talk about him anymore! Honestly, Ian. Mommy and I already gave him lots of chances
before. But look at what he did? Do you have any idea how Mommy came back yesterday?â
When Matteo brought this up, his tiny fists tightened with incipient tears swelling in his eyes.
Indeed, after the incident yesterday, Sasha only remained calm in front of them.
However, no one knew about the slap she gave herself when she got into the car after coming out of
the nursing home. She even had to stop the car and got out to vomit on the way home.
No one knew, except Matteo, who had always placed a tracker on his mother.
He didnât understand why she threw up, but he heard her painful, suffering voice when she was
vomiting.
In the end, she moaned and wailed bitterly.
Matteo would never forget about it.
Ian finally fell silent.
He lowered his head and pinched his robot with his tiny, pale fingers without saying another word.
When Matteo saw it, he was at a loss for words. He only held his brotherâs hand and followed after their
mother.
Twenty minutes later.
When the mother and children drove by the lane filled with sycamore trees on both sides, a magnificent
and luxurious Erihalian manor appeared before them. Their eyes lit up at the gorgeous sight.
âIs this your house, Mr. Leonard?â
The sweet Vivian asked excitedly when she saw such a magnificent-looking manor.
Raymond nodded. âYeah. Do you like it, Vivi?â
âYeah, I like it. Itâs bigger and prettier than Daddyâs house.â She mentioned her father once again and
even compared it to his house at Frontier Bay.
Ian couldnât hold it in anymore.
âNo! My house is bigger and prettier!â
Since the little guy wasnât good with words and was highly aggrieved, he burst out these few words.
When Sasha heard it, she sensed her eldest sonâs temper and immediately turned her head. âLittle Ian,
donât be angry with Vivi. Sheâs still young. And thatâs right! My sweetieâs house is the biggest.â
She reached out her hand to soothe the tense little guy.
Vivi leaned over too. Her round eyes flickered at Ian apologetically.
âIan, are you angry? Itâs Viviâs fault. Vivi wonât say anything like this again. Donât be angry, okay?â
Ian stayed quiet.
He could only swallow his bitterness when Vivian apologized, even if he felt wronged.
It was not his fault for experiencing mood swings because he had never left Sebastian before.
Besides, his mother found another man as soon as she left his father. Hence, he was worried that he
would never be able to see him again.
The little boy was heartbroken.
Sasha knew that Ian was upset, so she took the boy to a room to be alone with him after they reached
the manor.
âLittle Ian, do you regret leaving with Mommy?â
âNo!â The boy denied firmly.
Yes, I donât regret it because Mommy didnât abandon me this time.
Sasha was relieved at her sonâs answer.
âThen, you just donât like it here, right? Donât worry. Weâre only here temporarily. When Mommyâs friend
arranged everything, Mommy will take you back to Clear.â
âReally?â The teary little boy finally broke into a smile, and his eyes lit up.
