Chapter 112
The Love that Never Really Dies
The way things turned out was totally unexpected, especially for lan and Matteo, who came up with
the plan. Everything is going according to our plan. Daddy didn't ask Mommy to leave, but why is
Mommy still leaving? The two little ones were confused. They were too young to understand that
things were not as straightforward as they seemed when it came to two adults dealing with each
other. Things need not be said most of the time since adults could tell other's inner thoughts by
observing the changes in their facial expressions. âMatt, let's go.â Carrying Vivian, Sasha reached out
her hand to hold Matteoâs. She wouldn't leave her son at this place. lan, who was clinging to his
dad's legs, turned around to look at her. His eyes reddened upon hearing her words. As for Matteo,
the little boy was torn. Standing by the door, Sebastian spoke up just as the scenario of the
separation of a child from his mother was about to play out, âSasha Wand, are you doing this on
purpose?â
Hearing that, Sasha instantly looked up at him. âWhat are you talking about?â Sebastian's eyes
darkened while he exuded a cold aura. âWhat, am I wrong? I didn't ask you here to stir up trouble,
but look what you've done to the kids!â He cast his eyes over the kids as he spoke. âI...â Sasha
swallowed her words at the sight of the boysâ reddened eyes. The room was surrounded by a
gloomy atmosphere. Except for Vivian in her arms, both lan and Matteo, who were in high spirits a
moment earlier, were now looking at her pitifully. She never wanted to upset the kids. Feeling guilty,
Sasha's confidence faltered. Yet, Sebastian didn't afford her a chance to explain herself when he
picked lan up and said, âLet's go and have dinner now.â Then, he beckoned Matteo over. âMatt,
come here. Let's go down together.â Matteo pursed his lips. Why are both Daddy and Mommy
fighting over me? He sighed internally as he was suddenly made to choose between his parents.
Nevertheless, Matteo decided to walk toward his dad after weighing his options. âAlright, Daddy.
lan, don't be sad. Mommy is not going anywhere.
Go, bring Mommy and Vivi to the dining hall, but be careful with her injury.â Being as clever as
always, he came up with the brilliant idea of swapping his place with his brother. lan, too, was clever
enough to understand what Matteo was up to. He pulled away from Sebastian and then walked
toward Sasha, standing meekly before her. âMommy...â His pitiful eyes could make anyone's heart
ache for him. Sasha immediately kneeled in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes. âlan, I'm
sorry for making you sad. I'm not going anywhere. I will stay here and be with you.â âThanks,
Mommy." lan brightened up in an instant, wrapping his arms around his mother. Apart from her
son's persuasion, the other reason that Sasha decided to stay was that she understood Sebastian
didnât blame her for staying in his house. He was only mad at her because she failed to take good
care of the kids; she had disappointed them. Standing by the door, Sebastian stared at Sasha
impassively as she wiped the tears off lanâs face. Seeing that the two had finally recollected
themselves, Sebastian let out a snort and then led Matteo downstairs. Both lan and Matteo were
relieved. Daddy didn't mean to ask Mommy to leave! A few minutes later, all of them went
downstairs.
"Come and have your dinner. The food is getting cold.â Wendy ushered them to the dining hall. She
was more than happy to see the family coming down together. Sebastian then gave her a slight nod
before he led Matteo to the dining table. Matteo was in a good mood. Sitting in the junior chair, he
asked smilingly, âDaddy, what do you like to eat?â Sebastian cast a glance at him. âMe? I'm not a
picky eater.â âReally? Mommy made calzones today! Do you like calzones?â Matteo threw another
question at him. Before Sebastian even said anything, Sasha was startled by Matteoâs question that
her hands slipped, almost strangling Vivian when she was tying the napkin around her neck.
âMommy! Be careful! You won't get to see me again if you tie the napkin any tighter.â For a few
seconds, the dining room fell into an eerie silence. Sasha felt so awkward that she wished the
ground would swallow her up. Wendy was trying hard to stifle her laugh. Out of the corner of her
eyes, she saw Sebastian's eye twitched while looking at Sasha. To save Sasha from embarrassment,
she quickly entered the kitchen and then brought them some calzones. âMr. Hayes, the kids wanted
to have calzones today, so Ms. Wand helped me make these notwithstanding her injury. They taste
rather nice. Would you like to have some?â Wendy placed a whole set of cutlery and a plate in front
of Sebastian. Seeing that, Sasha's wrung her hands unwittingly.
