Chapter 16
The Love that Never Really Dies
Sasha wasn't too keen to tell her son about that,
so she changed the topic in order for him to go back immediately. He was playing with his drone in
the windy weather. Even though it wasn't dangerous, she was worried he might catch a cold.
However, lan refused to listen to her. After seeing that Sasha wasn't answering his question, he
turned around and walked away.
âNone of your business! You, go and grab some more batteries for me.â âlan...â The bodyguard was
perplexed for a moment. Sasha became anxious. Just when she was about to advise him again, a
figure appeared at the deck and stormed over to the boy. âlan, you've been playing for a very long
time.
You should go back inside. Otherwise, your dad is going to scold you!â Sasha glanced over
immediately and saw a beautiful young woman in an expensive dress. Xandra? So sheâs on this boat
too? Sasha was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses upon thinking about the
woman's relationship with that scum.
Xandra walked over when she saw lan still playing with his toy. Her hands started patting all over his
body impatiently. âlan, look at you. Your clothes are all wet and your hands are freezing. Didn't I tell
you earlier not to come out and play? What if you get sick again? Don't you know how weak your
body is? Quick, pack up your things and go in!â Even so, her words fell on deaf ears. lan ignored her
and continued to play with his drone instead.
âlan! Why are you so disobedient? Do you want to be hit again? Put it down right now!â No one saw
it coming. When her scolding fell on deaf ears, Xandra pinched hard on the boy's arm and snatched
the controller from his hands. Sasha's eyes were filled with raging blood! lan was a very stubborn
child. Unlike Matteo, he was physically weak from birth.
The lack of motherly love resulted in his antisocial and obstinate personality. Most of the time,
talking and weighing the consequences with him would work better than to force him against his
will. Sasha stood at the window and watched as Xandra snatched the controller from lan. Paled-face
from the cold, he held on his toy with dear life.
Right at that moment, Xandra simply twisted his little hands and Sasha saw, from a distance, that
her son's fingers were all bruised by the impact! What a worthless b*tch! Sasha yelled in anger,
âXandra, what are you doing? You nasty woman, get your hands off him immediately! Stay away
from him!
" Xandra, who was still wrestling with the child, suddenly turned pale. D*mn it! She was overly eager
to teach the child a lesson, and she had forgotten that Sasha was watching them from the cabin.
What should I do? Since the latter saw everything, what would happen if she went and told
Sebastian? lan meant the world to him. If he was adamant that it was her fault, Sebastian would not
let go of things easily. Xandra loosened her grip instantly. A panic-stricken expression flashed across
her face like never before. âThis is how you've been treating lan for the past five years?
Why are you so heartless, Xandra? Even if he's not your own child, heâs still Sebastian's son. Since
you're married to him, can't you treat him better? He is only five years old!" âMs. Wand, what are
you talking about? Did I do something wrong? I just came over here to tell him to hurry back
because I'm worried he might catch a cold.â
Unexpectedly, that conniving woman became calm and collected in just a few seconds while she
stared at Sasha without a flinch. âDo you think I'm blind? I saw everything clearly just now. Not only
did you pry his fingers, you pinched him too. That bodyguard witnessed what you did, too. Are you
still trying to weasel your way out?â
What horrified her was Xandra approached the bodyguard with a provocative smile after she heard
Sasha's words. âDid you see anything?â Beads of cold sweat covered the bodyguard's forehead; his
face filled with a great deal of tension and fear. âNo... No, I saw nothing,â he stammered *
Ah, you heard that, too. He said no. Ms. Wand, you are accusing me of something I haven't done.
Perhaps, you're trying to reclaim your position as the lady of the Hayesâ by slandering me? You can
stop dreaming because I'm Sebastian's woman now!â Sasha wished she could break the door down
and slap the woman until her face was unrecognizable. Not only was Xandra distorting the truth,
she also had the Hayesâ subordinates under her control. Even if Sasha testified against her, no one
would believe her words.
