âIt seems like Iâve underestimated her, and now sheâs fooling around with me.â
âLike I said, sir. Sheâs still someone elseâs daughter. She has faked her death once. What else canât
she do?â
Crack!
A crisp crackling sound came as Frederick snapped the can in his hand in two.
Even the butler was dumbfounded by his action.
âLet everyone know to grab her on sight!â
âUnderstood.â
The butler was overjoyed at his order as he immediately went and made the arrangements. While he
was issuing the order, he specifically told the men to be wary of the Hayes Corporation. They could not
let the company know about this.
It was obvious that Tim was referring to Sebastian when he mentioned the company.
At this moment in time, Sebastian had not received the news yet. Luke kept calling him, but he never
picked up because he was busy comforting the little girl on the second floor.
âMommy! I want my mommy!â Vivian cried.
It was as if she sensed that her mother was in danger, so the first thing she did when she woke up was
crying.
In the end, Sebastian had to come in himself. âStop it. Stop crying!â
When Sebastian came in, Vivian was in her pink pajamas without wearing shoes, just hugging her
bunny doll while she cried a river.
He was very irritated by the crying? Whatâs gotten into her? Who made her cry?
He approached her, wanting to put a jacket on Vivian in case she caught a cold.
With that being said, the little girlâs cry grew even louder when she saw him. âMommy! I want Mommy! I
donât want you! Get out! Get out!â Her chubby hand swung frantically, not letting Sebastian get near
her.
Sebastian was barely holding it in.
Right when he was about to give Vivian a spanking, the other two kids sneaked in. Seeing that their
father was already very agitated, one of them went to their sister while the other blocked their father.
âDaddy, what are you doing?â Ian asked.
For Vivian, Ian had come in without even wearing his shoes.
Sebastian noticed it and got even more annoyed. âWhat can I do to her? I want her to stop crying.
Didnât you hear it? Itâs early in the morning, and her obnoxious cry has filled the whole house.â
Ian and Matteo both stayed quiet.
Is Daddy okay? He actually called Viviâs cry obnoxious.
Soon after, Vivianâs crying intensified. âMommy! I want my Mommy!â
It looked like she was losing her mind, pushing her brother to the side as if she had a massive injury,
and ran out of the room with her bare feet.
There was nothing Sebastian could do but chase after her.
Within a few minutes, Sebastian was able to catch the little girl who was crying like her mother just
died. He pulled her into his embrace.â Alright now, itâs my fault. I shouldnât have shouted at you. I
shouldnât have said your cry was obnoxious. Iâm sorry, okay? Please donât cry.â
It was the first time this tyrant in the business sector got on his knees and spoke in such a soft voice to
coax a little girl. He even placed all the blame on himself.
With that, even though Vivian was still crying, it was less terrifying now as she was in her fatherâs arms.
âI⦠I want Mommy.â
âI know. Iâm going to fetch her home later, okay?â Sebastian stayed calm.
Finally, Vivian stopped crying after hearing what he just said, but she still looked sad.
âCan you promise me? I just had a very bad dream. I dreamed that Mommyâs gone. Uncle Sebastian, I
canât live without Mommy. If Mommyâs gone, Iâll become an orphan.â
Sebastian was quiet.
Whatâs going on in this girlâs head? Is this something a five-year-old should say?
He frowned, wanting to reprimand her for saying those things, but stopped when he saw the maturity in
her sad eyes that superseded her age.
Indeed, this girl lost her father a long time ago. Itâs normal for her to feel insecure.
âThatâs not going to happen. If your mommyâs gone, youâll still have me. Iâll take care of you,â Sebastian
was considerate out of the blue.
But of course, he was just joking around. He figured there was no way Sasha would disappear.
To him, she was like the weed. Strong and unbending no matter where she was. She was simply
invincible, just like how she had survived all those years after faking her death.
Just thinking about it was able to fan the rage within Sebastian.
Luckily, the little girl had stopped crying after hearing what he just said. After that, he brought her to his
two sons and ordered them to take care of her while he went up the stairs.
When he got to the third floor, his phone rang once again.
âHello?â
âMy Lord! Mr. Hayes, where have you been? Iâve been calling you for ages now. Something happened
at the hospital!â
