Chapter 42
The Love that Never Really Dies
âImpossible! I won't teach you! I can knit Little Ian's clothes myself. So why would I teach you?â
Xandra's words agitated Sasha in an instant, and her mind was overpowered by the rising
exasperation in her heart. Unable to hold herself back any longer, Sasha rejected impulsively,
blurting out harsh words. Usually, she was not an impetuous person. Yet, she tended to lose control
easily when it came to her children. Upon hearing her words, everyone's face turned grim, especially
Sebastian whose face fell. âYou're really rude. How could you outrightly reject Ms. Green when she is
sincerely asking you to teach her knitting? Who're you to knit clothes for lan? You sure are clueless
about where you stand.â
Berta broke the silence by criticizing Sasha disdainfully. Every single word from her was of great
sarcasm like a sharp knife piercing into Sasha's heart. Still holding her son, Sasha clenched her fists
at Berta's words. âBerta, how can you be so disrespectful to Ms. Wand when she is willing to knit for
lan out of sincerity? Who are you to criticize her? You're really acting out of line here.â
Unexpectedly, Xandra reprimanded the housemaid at once for being rude to Sasha. She was still
kneeling on the floor, clinging onto Sebastian's legs, and there were tears on her pretty, flawless
face. It seemed as though she was defending Sasha by speaking up for her. Protective of me? Sasha
rolled her eyes and snickered. The woman's pretentious attitude really disgusted her. Yet, Sebastian
was apparently touched by Xandraâs words. When he saw how forgiving and magnanimous she was,
the flames of rage in him were completely put out. âYou donât have to degrade yourself by pleading
with her. There're actually many other things that you can do for my son.â In an instant, Xandra was
on cloud nine. She raised her head and asked excitedly, â
Sebastian, are you serious? Does it mean... you're willing to forgive me? Sebastian, I-I'm so happy..."
She burst into tears, but this time, they were genuine and not crocodileâs tears; they were tears of
joy for her victory against Sasha! Meanwhile, Sasha was trembling all over. Her heart was filled with
a mixture of suffocating rage, despair, and indescribable sorrow. She had a hard time accepting the
fact that the man was totally oblivious to that woman's cunningness. Can't he tell that the b*tch is
just putting on a show? Perhaps he is deliberately turning a blind eye to everything. She's the woman
he loves the most, so no matter what she's done, he will still choose to forgive her. When I was eight
months pregnant years ago, he even had the audacity to abandon us just to be with the love of his life.
Sasha tightened her arms around her son's tiny body and shut her red-rimmed, teary eyes in
weariness.
Ms. Nancy?â Matteo could sense his mommy's grief, so he hugged her back to give her mental
support. He finally understood what his mommy had been enduring all this while. Poor Mommy!
Daddy's really dense and doesn't deserve any sympathy. Mommy made the right decision by leaving
him that time. Thank God I've stayed by her side all these years! âMs. Nancy, don't be sad.â âAlright,
I'm not sad anymore. Little lan, don't worry. I will not let you get hurt no matter what. I will protect
you by all means.â Gazing lovingly at her son's face, Sasha quickly wiped her tears away and
consoled him.
Matteo remained silent, yet Sebastian could sense that something was amiss. He glared at them
with a cold glint in his eyes and asked, âSasha Wand, what are you up to?â As though her heart had
turned stone-cold, Sasha replied calmly, âMr. Hayes, you really have no idea about what I'm going
to do? Since you couldn't care less about Little lanâs safety, don't blame me for being ruthless. From
now onward, my only aim is to snatch him away from you!â âWhat makes you think you're capable
of doing that?â âSince I could even crawl out of my grave, nothing is impossible for me. Don't ever
underestimate anyone's ability.
You won't know what to expect when a seemingly vulnerable woman like me is infuriated. Sebastian
Hayes, you'd better think twice before you leap.â The last few words sent a chill down Sebastian's
spine. As Sebastian gave Sasha a glance, his heart skipped a beat at the sight of her bloodshot eyes;
there was murderous intent in them. If sheâs given a knife now, she'll undoubtedly kill anyone
standing in her way with it! She's gone bonkers! Sebastian swallowed hard. âAre you out of your
mind?â âYou can say so. If I see any wounds on Little lanâs body again, don't blame me for teaching
her a lesson!â After warning Sebastian, Sasha yanked Berta, who was standing beside her, and gave
her a hard poke in the neck. Everything occurred within such a short span of time. Berta could only
give a shriek of pain before her stiff body collapsed on the floor. Everyone in the dining room gaped
in shock at what they saw.
