What the hell? Must he be so rude?
Sashaâs face turned a bright shade of red.
âDonât worry, Iâll definitely finish it on time.â
She quickly lowered her head and focused on the ledger again.
It was a natural thing for a couple to sleep together, but Sasha found it awkward because they hadnât
been together for more than a year.
Sebastian had really changed a lot.
Could it be that he was addicted?
Sasha stole a puzzled glance at Sebastian.
That night, the kids didnât see Sasha at the nursery.
âMatt, why isnât Mommy here to accompany us? Didnât Daddy promise us to let her come down after she
finishes her work?â
Vivian was very clingy to Sasha.
When Sasha didnât turn up as usual to read bedtime stories to her, she carried her plushie and came to
her brothersâ room.
Matteo smiled like a cunning little fox upon seeing Vivian.
âYou little idiot. That means Mommy still hasnât finished her work. She wonât be able to finish it today.â
Vivian pouted and almost began to cry when Ian shot Matteo a look and got down from his bed.
âDonât listen to Matt. Mommy will come down when sheâs done. Do you want to hear a bedtime story? Let
me read it for you.â
Then, Ian took Vivianâs hand in his and tucked her in his bed.
Ian, who was raised by Sebastian, was more mature than Matteo, who was raised by Sasha. Perhaps it
was due to Sashaâs parenting method that failed to suppress Matteoâs mischief nature.
Sasha slept at the third floor that night.
She was too tired to know that Sebastian had turned off her phone and threw it into a drawer, ignoring a
message that Sabrina sent her at midnight.
Sabrina: Sasha, do you have Jakeâs phone number? Devin has been missing for two days!
By right, Devin should have been at the Woods residence. After all, Jonathan and Mark were just there
that morning.
It was odd enough for Sabrina to message Sasha at such late hours.
However, as Sabrina was able to go to the Woods residence whenever she liked, it meant that Devin
was indeed not at the Woods residence.
It was yet another sleepless night for Sabrina, but luckily for her, she got hold of Jakeâs contact number
in the morning.
Useless man: Hereâs Jakeâs number, but I suggest you donât look for Devin. Do you think he still wants to
see you when heâs already changed his phone number and completely avoided you?
Sabrina flared up upon seeing Solomonâs taunt.
Sabrina: This is none of your business!
Useless man: Iâm merely reminding you that your brother caused his parentsâ death. Do you really think
he will still accept you? Do you think you stand a chance when he has never accepted you even before
this incident?
Solomon pointed out the truth blatantly.
Finally, Sabrina stopped replying.
The color drained from her face as she sat numbly in the car. There was only sadness left in her eyes.
She knew that Devin would never accept her, but still, there was no way she could let him ruin his own
life.
Sabrina closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination.
Sabrina: Like I said, this is none of your business.
Before Solomon could send his reply, Sabrina turned off her phone and tossed it to the side.
Sabrina was driving when her phone notification rang a few minutes later. It was a message notifying her
that five million was transferred from Hayes Corporation to her account.
Meanwhile, Devin was with Jake, for he couldnât stand being alone in the house after the funeral.
Jake had booked a luxury suite in a nightclub for their friends. Seeing that their friends were having fun,
he came over to Devin and asked, âWhat are you planning to do next, Devin?â
