Chapter 1566 To Spend Some Time Alone
“Thank you for your help, Mr. Minamoto. My husband is still recovering, so he’s going to need this to help him move around for the time being,” stated Sasha, slightly embarrassed that she needed the assistance.
However, Giichi did not mind helping at all. In fact, he was just glad to see Sebastian alive and well.
“I’m just happy to see that he’s awake again. To tell you the truth, I’ve never been impressed by anybody other than Sebastian. Even after hearing about my own mother’s passing, I only felt sadness. But what happened to your husband three years ago? That was a real shame…”
Like most Jetroinian, Giichi was straightforward when it came to expressing his feelings. He could not help but share them directly after seeing Sebastian once again.
Sasha was even more moved after listening to the head of the Minamoto family.
Ten minutes later, Sebastian and Sasha were welcomed again when she pushed the man into the house.
“Since my mother is Sasha’s grandmother, that means I’m her uncle. We’re family, Mr. Hayes, so consider this your home too. Make yourself comfortable here.”
“That’s right. We are indeed a family!” Aoi agreed with her husband.
Keeping silent, Sasha turned to look at Sebastian and noticed something she had never seen before.
She knew how much the man disliked people trying to ingratiate themselves with him, but at that moment, there was a glimmer of gentleness in his eyes as he responded, “Then you should start calling me Sebastian.”
“Sure… I mean, of course, Sebastian!”
Even though those were simple words, they were enough to pull two families closer.
With the gap between them closed, Sebastian and the others enjoyed themselves in each other’s company that night.
Since Sebastian was still recovering, he was not allowed to ingest any alcohol. Otherwise, the evening would have been even rowdier.
After dinner, the Minamotos offered to send the couple to the airport personally.
Along for the ride were Ichika and her son.
“Ichika, you have to come home whenever you can, okay? I’m going to miss you and my adorable grandson dearly,” reminded Aoi as she gazed at the three-year-old Yoel with a heavy heart.
In response, the boy stared back at his grandmother as if he could understand how she felt. “I want Grandma.”
“What?” Tears immediately burst out of Aoi’s eyes when she heard her grandson.
Aoi only had two daughters; one was in a vegetative state, while the other had moved far away. Hence, it was only natural that it would pain her to watch her daughter and grandson leave her.
Seeing how emotional her mother was, Ichika, too, got teary-eyed.
As much as Ichika wanted Aoi to stay with her for a while, she worried that her father would disagree. After all, in their culture, it was inappropriate for the matriarch of a family to stay at her son-in-law’s for a long time. “Mom—”
“If you don’t mind, Mr. Minamoto, why not let Mrs. Minamoto come stay a few days with us in Jadeborough? We’ve already known each other for a long time. Yet, I haven’t had the chance to invite you to come over. So what do you say?” The man in the wheelchair suddenly extended an invitation.
Immediately, Aoi tightened her arms around her grandson as she looked beggingly at her husband. That was brilliant! Since Sebastian was the one who made the offer, there is no way Giichi would turn the man down. After all, we were invited to stay with the most influential family in their country.
As expected, Giichi accepted the invitation in the end. “I don’t see why not. Since it’s winter, there’s not much to do anyway. I’ll go pick her up when I’m done with my business.”
Ichika immediately jumped for joy when she heard that. “Yes! Thank you, Dad! Come over as soon as you can, okay? We’ll be waiting for you.”
At that moment, Ichika was like a child who got the present she had always wanted on a Christmas morning. She was so happy she could cry.
Not long after they boarded the plane, the exhausted Sebastian immediately fell asleep.
When he woke up, he realized that they had reached the Oceanic Estate and that it was evening already.
“Did you sleep well?”
Gazing at the woman he loved under the warm bedroom light, Sebastian could not think of a better view to wake up to.
The man felt much better after taking a sip of the tea his wife handed him.
“What time is it?”
“It’s around nine o’clock in the evening. You have no idea how many people came to visit today, but Devin and Jonathan sent them away. I don’t think that’s going to stop many others from coming, though,” voiced Sasha with a hint of annoyance on her face. I guess it was to be expected. After all, for Sebastian to regain consciousness is probably a big deal to the entire city.
Whether they truly cared about Sebastian or had ulterior motives, she knew people would just keep coming until they saw him in the flesh.
Sebastian, too, had an annoyed look on him after hearing that.
