Chapter 1783 Daughter In Law
Back at Oceanic Estate, Sasha had been asking about how Ian was doing.
Ever since he went to university, he seldom called home, as if he was trying to prove to them that he could live independently of them. Even when he did call, he wouldn’t reveal his true situation to them.
As a result, Sasha and Sebastian had to rely on the men Karl had assigned to watch Ian to hear the latest about him.
“Mrs. Hayes, don’t worry. Ian is extremely popular in school. In fact, there are two girls who keep staying by his side.”
When Karl updated them on the situation, he couldn’t resist cracking a joke out of it.
Sasha was both shocked and delighted to hear it.
“Really? What kind of girls are they? Does Ian like them?”
Karl was dumbstruck.
What kind of response is that? Isn’t she worried? Her son is only seventeen and isn’t considered an adult yet.
Karl, who started the topic jokingly, was at a sudden loss when he saw Sasha’s excitement.
Fortunately, Sebastian was there. Having heard the report, he raised his brow before pulling the nosy Sasha behind him.
Sasha was speechless.
Sebastian asked, “Have you investigated it? What’s the situation like?”
“Yes, one of them is Zaylynn Neal, daughter of a businessman in Pollerton. Their family has a reasonably clean background. As for the other, Yasmin Snow, it doesn’t look good.”
A grim expression descended upon Karl’s face at the mention of Yasmin’s name.
Sasha interjected, “Why doesn’t it look good? Is there something wrong with the girl?”
She assumed Karl was implying that Yasmin’s character was questionable. If that was the case, she had to make sure Ian stayed away from the latter.
However, Karl shook his head.
“No, there’s nothing wrong with her personality. Mrs. Hayes, do you still remember Duncan? That girl is his elder sister!”
“What?”
Sasha and Sebastian were taken aback by the revelation.
Duncan’s sister? Why is the world so small for our son to run into his sister?
Sasha could feel her heart sink.
As for Sebastian, his expression drastically changed.
What had surprised him the most was that he had assumed the university was clear of any potential threats to his son. Hence, he didn’t expect to be thrown a curve ball like that.
Is this destiny?
Entering his forties, Sebastian began to believe in fate.
“Sebby, what should we do? Should we get Ian to come back at once? Is that girl trying to get close to him?”
“No, Mrs. Hayes, Yasmin was already studying there before Ian went over. Based on my investigations, the university was in fact her first choice after finishing her high school exams,” Karl quickly explained.
By then, Sasha didn’t know what else to say. The only thing in her mind was to recall Ian immediately, for she didn’t want to see him get hurt again.
As for Sebastian, he had no plans to take any action after deliberating upon the matter.
“Perhaps, that’s part of growing up for him.”
“What did you say? Do you mean he should experience it?” Sasha gave him an astounded look. she couldn’t understand how someone as sharp as him could utter such words.
“Sebby, have you got it wrong? Why do you think this is necessary? It’s within our power to stop it!”
“Yes, we are capable of stopping it. However, have you considered that since Yasmin is alive, she will find out the truth about her brother’s death sooner or later? When she does, she would still come for Ian.”
Sasha remained silent.
“Therefore, this is something that Ian needs to face. Only by overcoming it will he truly have matured. If it happens sometime later when we’re much older or not around, wouldn’t it be a bigger blow then? If he falls, who will be there to help him get back up? Are you pinning your hopes on Matteo? Or the clueless Vivi?” Sebastian explained patiently when he saw the anxious look on his wife’s face.
In the end, Sasha opened her mouth but nothing came out.
That’s true. What if he falls in the future? By then, there will be no one to support him. Since the storm is inevitable, it would be better for him to sail through it in his youth. At the very least, both of us are still young enough to deal with it.
Finally, Sasha agreed with Sebastian’s perspective.
Karl, too, found that the reasoning made sense.
“Mr. Hayes is right. Furthermore, I don’t think it’s necessary to worry too much about it. Susan and her brother are doing a good job of taking care of Ian. Susan in particular has even discovered who Yasmin is.”
“Really?”
Sasha was stunned.
Susan is truly impressive!
