Chapter 155
The Love that Never Really Dies
Sasha finally gave in to return to Avenport together. If not for anything else, it was because she
couldn't bear to be apart from her children. If she was determined to return to Clear, she reasoned
with herself, it would be impossible for her to even bring one of her children with her. Therefore,
Avenport seemed like her best bet given the current situation. Her children were overjoyed at her
consent. They burst through the door and ran up towards her, pleasing her a great deal. âMommy,
will you really return to Avenport with Daddy?â Vivian squealed. *
This is wonderful! I thought you weren't going to say yes.â She was the first one through the door
and in her mother's lap. Sasha was surprised. "You were hoping that I would go back there with your
father?â âYes, Mommy,â Vivian replied. âI do not like it when the other kids in the kindergarten ask
me about my father. Even if I haven't been properly reunited with Daddy, it still makes me very
happy!â Vivian was a child with simple pleasures. It didn't take much to fill her little heart with joy.
Sasha felt a lump in her throat. Wordlessly, she pulled her daughter in for a big hug. Matteo came in
next. âMommy, I think that you should go with Daddy too,â he informed her solemnly. âWe can't
abandon lan.â He grabbed his brother by the hand.
lan did not know what to say. He looked down, not willing to let them see his watery eyes. Sasha's
heart ached with sorrow at the sight of him. She knelt down and pulled him in for a hug as well.
âMommy won't even think about abandoning any one of you. I'm sorry for being rash. I'm sorry for
hurting you, lan.â âOh, Mommy,â lan threw his arms around her neck. For all the differences that
those three had, they were all her kind and loyal babies. Whether it was Matteo and Vivian who was
attached to their mother or lan who was reluctant to forsake their father, they were angels, none of
whom Sasha would willingly part with. So it was on the third day, Sasha and her triplets followed
Sebastian back to Avenport. At the same time,
Xandra, who was abroad, was awaiting this piece of good news. Her Aunt Kelly had eyes
everywhere. The news of Sasha escaping with her children was caught by Kelly and immediately
relayed to her niece. Xandra was here to reinstate herself as Mrs. Hayes. Upon hearing that Sasha
voluntarily disappeared with her children, she was over the moon. âIs she crazy?â Xandra exclaimed.
"Dragging along three kids with her.â âWho cares?â Kelly retorted. âIsn't this what you wanted? You
don't have to lift a finger.â She sipped her coffee whilst casting a disapproving eye at Xandra's drafts
on her computer. Xandra followed her aunt's gaze and panicked. She slammed it shut like she was
afraid of being caught with something indecent. *
What nonsense are you talking about? My contract is already signed for.â âIs it, now? Then you'd
better make sure you write it well. If the quality is not the same as your previous ones, you'll be in
big trouble.â Kelly said harshly. Xandra turned pale. She opened her mouth to retort, but thought
against it and let the matter be dropped. It is true that this incident had been a thorn in her side.
She has had years of experience as a publishing author. Even the bestseller âThe Tattoo of my Heartâ
was her work. However, her writing was not what it used to be in recent years. Though the publisher
made an exception to sign her on the title of her book alone, she has hit the dreaded writer's block.
Xandra turned off her computer resentfully and brewed herself a cup of coffee. âWe should discuss
our next move,â Xandra said. âSasha Wand took her kids away.
Sebastian wouldn't be very happy about that. I think it's time for me to return.â âThat's not a bad
idea,â Kelly agreed with her niece for once. After an upheaval in his house, a furious man would
need a woman's touch to restore things to order. It did not matter if he pursues his kids. At this
moment, he needs a woman by his side. When the kids return, she would have plenty of time to
assume a motherly role. And if he doesn't get them back, even better.
She would have him all to herself. It all looked good to Xandra. It was a win-win situation. âBut,
before I go, I should investigate this woman.â Kelly was startled. âInvestigate her? Are you crazy?â
âRelax,â Xandra soothed. âOf course I won't make it obvious. If that b*tch is unlucky, we will find her,
make her go away, and take the kids back to Sebastian. Isn't that better?â She savored her coffee,
delighted with the way her plan is coming together. Her aunt was right, though. She needs to play
this right and not do anything rash. With brains like that, she will help the Hayes family return to
their former days of glory. Kelly was pleased. This plan might just work out. With that in mind, the
two women started laying down the finer details of their plan.
