Chapter 1531 Kurt Left
“Huh?”
The duo stopped playing and turned their heads to the person approaching them.
It was Kurt.
Sulking, Vivian was rather unwilling to do her work.
Much to Matteo’s surprise, Kurt approached them, held Vivian’s hand, and took her away without hesitation.
Tsk!
Eventually, Matteo left the scene too.
Half an hour later, Vivian was seen acting like a rascal in the study. She was in no mood to do her homework at all.
“Kurt, I don’t want to do this. Can I work on it later tonight?”
“Sonia texted to say that she has submitted her work,” he replied casually without lifting his eyes.
Vivian cursed in her heart. Bad Sonia… Well, I have no choice but to continue with my work then.
She continued working until nightfall. Meanwhile, Sasha had also finished tabulating the accounts too. Massaging her arms, Vivian watched as the artwork was taken away to be photographed.
“Aren’t you heading home, Kurt?”
“Hmm?” Kurt was uploading the images of her work for submission.
A pair of dreamy eyes shot her a glance, and Vivian quickly averted his gaze.
“Um… Nothing. I’m going downstairs to play.” Subsequently, she raced downstairs like an animal released into the wild.
The boy stayed rooted to the spot until Vivian’s footsteps could no longer be heard.
He then slowly took his seat and clenched his fists.
He knew that she was very playful and disliked being restrained, especially during the holidays.
Go home? Where to? Where’s my home?
That evening, Kurt sat by himself for a very long time.
A few days later, Sebastian finally had some time to himself.
Upon returning to Oceanic Estate, he went to see Kurt first and asked, “Are you going to SteelFort?”
Bowing his head, Kurt clasped his hands tightly.
Sebastian continued, “You can stay here if you don’t want to go. I just thought that it’d been a while since you last trained. Do you need to hone your skills? If you remain stagnant, knowing Mr. Frost, he might kick you out of the team.”
“I’ll go!”
With that, Kurt made up his mind to leave Oceanic Estate that night when everyone was fast asleep.
It was not until the following noon that Vivian noticed it.
“Went home? Did he go back on his own? Or um… Did his parents come to get him?” she stuttered, recalling what she said yesterday.
Sasha quickly explained, “He went back by himself, but rest assured that he’s fine. Your daddy was the one who arranged his transport.”
She thought that her daughter was worried about Kurt’s safety, so she emphasized what Sebastian did.
Vivian paled instantly when she learned that Kurt left at his own will.
Is he upset? That’s why he insisted on leaving even at an ungodly hour?
Vivian was dejected. In the following days, she was not up for any games and only lingered around in the study, looking glum.
Matteo came and checked in on his sister.
“Vivi, what’s up? Why aren’t you playing with me these few days?”
Before she could say anything, tears had already welled up in her eyes.
Seeing so, Matteo panicked and quickly comforted his sister, “Don’t cry. What happened exactly? What made you all teary?”
Vivian broke the silence after being consoled. “The other day… Kurt was so strict with me, so… so I asked him to go home. Is he mad at me? What do you think?”
“What?” Matteo was flabbergasted.
I was wondering why Kurt left abruptly. So, this is the reason why. But I doubt he was crossed. Though he’s always been faintly aloof and distant, he’s been quite nice toward Vivi.
Hence, Matteo dismissed the speculation.
“I doubt it. Don’t overthink things. It’s almost the festive season, so it’s only natural that he went home. Have you forgotten? Daddy and Mommy have said before that he comes from a big family. I’m sure that his parents are looking forward to seeing him.”
“Really?”
All of a sudden, the girl’s eyes lit up with hope.
Matteo bobbed his head. “Yes, don’t be so sad. He’s coming back after the festivity, right? If it still bothers you by then, apologize to him when you see him.”
The last sentence was crucial; it immediately cheered Vivian up.
Subsequently, she was back to her usual self, deciding to apologize to Kurt when he returned.
However, something disappointing happened. Even after Jonathan got down from the mountains, Solomon and Rufus arrived from Avenport, and even after Sabrina had given birth, there were no traces of Kurt. Vivian had been waiting for a long time.
“Mommy, when is Kurt returning? The holidays are drawing to a close, and it’s almost time for school to reopen.”
“Huh?” Sasha had been so busy with Sabrina’s newborn that she had completely neglected her daughter.
“I’m not sure. Let me go ask your daddy, okay?” comforted Sasha.
Then, she headed to look for Sebastian.
Much to her bewilderment, Sebastian actually told her that Kurt might not return at all.
