She held her two children in her arms. Worn out, she felt incredibly guilty and pained.
When and how did Matteo know about his father? Besides, why does he have so many physical defects
that I have no idea about? What am I doing? How can a mother not know anything this serious?
For the first time, she felt that she had failed miserably as a mother.
âMatteo, tell Mommy. Did you already know about Daddy?â Sasha finally calmed herself down and asked
the boy.
After hearing that, Ian, who was lying in her chest, immediately drooped his head. He felt helpless and
didnât know how to explain it to his mother.
He was actually scared that she would abandon him after he told her the truth.
Fortunately, Vivian was there. When she saw him afraid to speak, she blinked her sparkling eyes and
helped Ian.
âYeah, Mommy. Vivi knows too.â
âHuh? You too?â
âYeah, because Mommy was always bullied and even kept away by Daddy, Matt became angry, so he
followed the bad guy that got you and found out who Daddy is.â In a childish voice, the little girl explained
how the siblings found out about their father.
After listening, words couldnât describe Sashaâs emotions at that moment.
Well, it makes sense. Although my son is only five, he has an exceptional IQ and can hack into the entire
local network server in Clear. So whatâs so strange about him finding out about his useless father?
Sasha decided to drop the topic and looked at the little guy sadly.
Both mother and son went quiet.
Suddenly, the two kids had a gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
âMatteo, Mommy feels really guilty about you because⦠I never knew about your health problems. Itâs all
Mommyâs fault. Mommy will take you back to Clear, alright? Letâs go as soon as possible. From now on, I
will only focus on getting you well, alright?â
Sasha held her sonâs tiny hands and told him her decision while enduring her pain within.
Huh⦠I shouldâve prioritized the more important things instead of those significant matters that didnât
belong to me in the first place. How can he endure all these without me knowing? Heâs only five!
Sasha lowered her gaze and tears started flowing down uncontrollably.
The siblings were shocked upon hearing her words. Go back to Clear? No way! Mommy is taking us out
of here? Then, what about Matteo? Heâs still in Frontier Bay!
Ian was frightened. If Mommy leaves, does that mean Iâll be left alone again? I donât have anyone hereâ¦
Is she abandoning me again?
Ian teared up and ran away from his motherâs arms.
âMatteo! Why are you running away? Come back! Donât run!â Sasha quickly stood up and rushed over
with her daughter.
Whatâs wrong with him? Why did he run away when I told them about going back to Clear?
Sasha was confused. Perhaps, if she realized that it was Ian instead of Matteo, she would understand.
However, for Ian, it was the most unacceptable thing for his mother to abandon him again.
â
Matteoâs father brought him home that day.
This bad Daddy must be rejected by Ian, who chose Mommy, so thatâs why he looks so angry. He even
ignored me when I said hi to him first. Hmph! Bad Daddy. I wonât talk to you if you neglect me!
Sitting at the back, Matteo took out his snacks from his little backpack from preschool and ate his lollipop
happily.
âWhat are you doing?â
âHuh? Nothing! Iâm just playing.â
Thereâs no way I will tell Daddy about how I have helped Ian secure his place at school today. If Daddy
knew, he would beat me up!
Matteo took out his toy car from one of his winnings. Eww! Whatâs this childish thing? Iâm already in
preschool!
Sebastian had been observing the boy from the rearview mirror. How dare this ungrateful little brat turn
to that woman immediately after five years of me taking care of him! But what is he doing?
He was a little surprised when he noticed the little guyâs behavior. The boy simply threw his backpack on
the seat and sat with his legs crossed.
âIan, who taught you how to sit like that? Didnât Daddy teach you about proper manners? Why did you
already learn these bad habits after going to preschool for only two days?â
