âImpossible! I wonât teach you! I can knit Little Ianâs clothes myself. So why would I teach you?â
Xandraâs words agitated Sasha in an instant, and her mind was overpowered by the rising exasperation
in her heart. Unable to hold herself back any longer, Sasha rejected impulsively, blurting out harsh
words.
Usually, she was not an impetuous person. Yet, she tended to lose control easily when it came to her
children.
Upon hearing her words, everyoneâs face turned grim, especially Sebastian whose face fell.
âYouâre really rude. How could you outrightly reject Ms. Green when she is sincerely asking you to teach
her knitting? Whoâre you to knit clothes for Ian? You sure are clueless about where you stand.â
Berta broke the silence by criticizing Sasha disdainfully. Every single word from her was of great sarcasm
like a sharp knife piercing into Sashaâs heart.
Still holding her son, Sasha clenched her fists at Bertaâs words.
âBerta, how can you be so disrespectful to Ms. Wand when she is willing to knit for Ian out of sincerity?
Who are you to criticize her? Youâre really acting out of line here.â
Unexpectedly, Xandra reprimanded the housemaid at once for being rude to Sasha.
She was still kneeling on the floor, clinging onto Sebastianâs legs, and there were tears on her pretty,
flawless face.
It seemed as though she was defending Sasha by speaking up for her.
Protective of me?
Sasha rolled her eyes and snickered. The womanâs pretentious attitude really disgusted her.
Yet, Sebastian was apparently touched by Xandraâs words. When he saw how forgiving and
magnanimous she was, the flames of rage in him were completely put out.
âYou donât have to degrade yourself by pleading with her. Thereâre actually many other things that you
can do for my son.â
In an instant, Xandra was on cloud nine. She raised her head and asked excitedly, âSebastian, are you
serious? Does it mean⦠youâre willing to forgive me? Sebastian, I-Iâm so happyâ¦â
She burst into tears, but this time, they were genuine and not crocodileâs tears; they were tears of joy for
her victory against Sasha!
Meanwhile, Sasha was trembling all over.
Her heart was filled with a mixture of suffocating rage, despair, and indescribable sorrow. She had a hard
time accepting the fact that the man was totally oblivious to that womanâs cunningness. Canât he tell that
the b*tch is just putting on a show?
Perhaps he is deliberately turning a blind eye to everything.
Sheâs the woman he loves the most, so no matter what sheâs done, he will still choose to forgive
her. When I was eight months pregnant years ago, he even had the audacity to abandon us just to be
with the love of his life.
Sasha tightened her arms around her sonâs tiny body and shut her red-rimmed, teary eyes in weariness.
âMs. Nancy?â
Matteo could sense his mommyâs grief, so he hugged her back to give her mental support.
He finally understood what his mommy had been enduring all this while. Poor Mommy! Daddyâs really
dense and doesnât deserve any sympathy. Mommy made the right decision by leaving him that time.
Thank God Iâve stayed by her side all these years!
âMs. Nancy, donât be sad.â
âAlright, Iâm not sad anymore. Little Ian, donât worry. I will not let you get hurt no matter what. I will protect
you by all means.â
Gazing lovingly at her sonâs face, Sasha quickly wiped her tears away and consoled him.
Matteo remained silent, yet Sebastian could sense that something was amiss. He glared at them with a
cold glint in his eyes and asked, âSasha Wand, what are you up to?â
As though her heart had turned stone-cold, Sasha replied calmly, âMr. Hayes, you really have no idea
about what Iâm going to do? Since you couldnât care less about Little Ianâs safety, donât blame me for
being ruthless. From now onward, my only aim is to snatch him away from you!â
âWhat makes you think youâre capable of doing that?â
âSince I could even crawl out of my grave, nothing is impossible for me. Donât ever underestimate
anyoneâs ability. You wonât know what to expect when a seemingly vulnerable woman like me is
infuriated. Sebastian Hayes, youâd better think twice before you leap.â
The last few words sent a chill down Sebastianâs spine.
As Sebastian gave Sasha a glance, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of her bloodshot eyes; there
was murderous intent in them. If sheâs given a knife now, sheâll undoubtedly kill anyone standing in her
way with it!
Sheâs gone bonkers!
Sebastian swallowed hard. âAre you out of your mind?â
âYou can say so. If I see any wounds on Little Ianâs body again, donât blame me for teaching her a
lesson!â
After warning Sebastian, Sasha yanked Berta, who was standing beside her, and gave her a hard poke
in the neck.
Everything occurred within such a short span of time. Berta could only give a shriek of pain before her
stiff body collapsed on the floor. Everyone in the dining room gaped in shock at what they saw.
