“As for my mother…” Sebastian paused and stared ahead of him halfway through his speech.
Wendy turned around and saw Frieda, whom she had tucked in bed, had made her way downstairs again.
Frieda was hiding behind the stairs, staring at the conversing duo as if she was afraid of approaching them. She would tilt her head to take a peek at the duo from time to time.
Wendy thought she shouldn’t have left her unattended. Immediately, she apologized, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Hayes. I have tucked her up in bed since quite some time ago, but she might have been roused from her sleep again.”
She was about to approach Frieda and show her the way back to her room, but Sebastian stopped Wendy and beckoned the woman behind the stairs to join them.
Frieda’s eyes widened in disbelief and thought she had been seeing things.
Is he asking me to join him? Is he no longer mad at me? Is he finally talking to me?
Thrilled, Frieda bounced her way over in a joyful manner. She had finally gotten used to walking after spending a few days with her grandchildren.
Immediately after she reached her son’s side, she showed him the things she had with her for quite some time. “Shin, candy…!”
Seconds after he took over the candy his mother had with her, he explained, “I’m not the man you’re looking for. Actually, I’m your son.”
“M-My son?”
He started introducing the members of the family to his mother in a serious manner, “Yes, I’m no longer a little boy. The little kids over there are your grandchildren.”
Frieda had a hard time comprehending the thing the man in front of her said. Nonetheless, she linked the keywords together and thought the man in front of him was her long-lost son.
She nodded with her eyes gleaming in excitement. “M-My son has grown up!”
“Yes, your son has grown up.”
Sebastian felt a prickling sensation behind his eyes due to his mother’s response.
Judging by his mother’s response, he knew his biological parents must have been so much in love back in the day since her mother was still head over heels in love with his father to the extent of misperceiving him as his father.
Frieda was on cloud nine and continued running her fingers across her son’s face after she had enough of sizing him up.
“I can’t believe my son is taller than me!”
“I have a mission for you, Mom.”
“What is it?”
“Your grandchildren wish to go on a vacation for their long semester break. Unfortunately, we can’t keep them company. Can you tag along with them for the trip to Wendy’s hometown?”
Without a second thought, Frieda asserted with a determined look, “You can count on me to take care of your children!”
She showed her son a thumbs up, indicating she would definitely uphold her promise.
She was merely in her early twenties when she lost her mind. When she was eighteen, she became acquainted with Shin and got herself pregnant with Sebastian when she was nineteen. In other words, she had gotten herself pregnant around the time Sasha was pregnant with the triplets.
Frieda made her way back to her room and tucked herself in instead of trying something silly since her son had mandated her to take care of his children.
Wendy found the mother and son duo’s interaction hilarious.
In the meantime, Sasha had gotten Sebastian’s meal ready. However, her husband was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen even after a long time.
It was getting really late. Unable to stand it anymore, she brought herself upstairs to get the man downstairs to have his meal.
“Darling, what are you doing? Aren’t you going to have your meal?” She expressed her dissatisfaction in the disguise of a series of questions.
To her surprise, no one was in the room when she stomped her way in.
Huh? Where’s Sebastian?
She thought he must be in the study since he was nowhere to be seen in the room.
The moment she made her way to the study, she saw the man in the middle of something behind his table.
“Darling, it turns out you’re here! Why haven’t you informed me that you’re working on something? I have been waiting for you!”
She reprimanded her husband for neglecting her and made her way to his side immediately after she entered the study.
It was then she found out he was in the middle of something with the will since he wasn’t allowed to transfer the things that were meant to be his to others.
If he wished to transfer everything that was intended for him to others, he would have to inherit them in order to carry on with the rest of the procedures.
Therefore, he was in the middle of the procedures inheriting the assets listed in the will.
Sasha frowned when she found out he had been transferring the things to himself. She asked, “Aren’t you transferring these to Solomon?”
Sebastian responded with a nod and explained, “I have to inherit everything if I wish to transfer the ownership of all these over to him.”
