Upon hearing what Kira said, Stephen and Jasmine got emotional.
Devin left Red Pavilion as he couldn’t stand the bombardment.
Deep down, he was determined not to listen to the bullsh*t.
No matter the rumor was true or not, Devin remained unperturbed. After all, he always thought that Sebastian was more outstanding than him.
All the more so, Sebastian was supposed to be the Jadesons’ successor if Shin hadn’t passed away. Hence, Devin thought it wasn’t a problem to return the status to Sebastian.
Devin came to Oceanic Estate.
Initially, he wanted to go straight to the second floor to ask Sebastian if he had recovered.
After all, he cared about Sebastian’s health beyond all else.
Before Devin went upstairs, he saw a few kids playing with Jonathan in the garden outside the estate.
Since Jonathan was aged, he seldom moved around like how he was doing at that moment.
However, Devin saw Jonathan act like a kidult and enjoy playing with the kids.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, I haven’t seen you in such a good mood for a long time. I think you had never smiled ever since Shin passed away.”
“Really?” Jonathan responded casually to Tony’s words.
Tony nodded and added, “Yes. You weren’t that delighted even when Mr. Devin was born. Besides, you seldom hugged him after he got older.”
Tony hoped that Jonathan would feel even happier after hearing it.
After all, he hadn’t seen Jonathan feel so delighted for years.
However, Tony didn’t know that Devin had overheard the conversation not far from the garden. With a grim expression on his face, Devin recalled the past.
Indeed, Grandpa never hugged me when I was young.
Although I’m his biological grandson, he was always strict and unsmiling, not to mention that he never hugged me.
As such, Devin was fearful of Jonathan when he was young.
Besides, he couldn’t imagine that Jonathan was so gentle and treated the children lovingly.
A grim look crossed Devin’s face as he pondered over it.
After a while, Sasha walked toward the garden while holding a few glasses of fruit juice. She was stunned upon seeing Devin, who stood still and didn’t utter a word.
“Mr. Devin, why are you standing here? Are you here to visit the kids? Well, you can go to them directly. I think they’ll like you.”
Sasha thought Devin hesitated because he saw the children.
After all, she knew that Devin felt guilty about what happened in the past.
Once Devin heard Sasha’s voice, he turned around and said in a slight panic, “It’s okay. I’m here to look around the building. Anyway, I’m here to see Sebastian.”
“I see. He’s upstairs.”
Sasha gazed at him and pointed at the second floor.
Since Devin left hurriedly, Sasha couldn’t help but feel curious.
What’s gotten into him?
Soon, Devin arrived at the second floor.
It was a day with lovely weather and fresh air. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn’t stay in his bedroom like he usually did. He came out and grabbed a chair to sit outside and write something on a notebook.
As Sebastian was writing, he caught sight of Devin, who was dressed in a camouflage uniform.
“Sebastian, what are you doing?”
Devin came up to Sebastian and gazed at the notebook.
Sebastian squinted and closed the notebook. The next moment, his expression turned grim.
Devin fell silent and stood still. However, Devin didn’t reveal that he was in a worse mood than Sebastian.
A few seconds later, Devin took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Pretending to be nonchalant, he grabbed a chair and sat in front of Sebastian.
“Alright, you don’t have to hide it. I promise that I won’t peek at it. By the way, I happened to have seen your two kids downstairs. Why did you bring them here? Are you planning to let them join the family officially?” Devin asked casually as though he only wanted to chat with Sebastian.
Much to Devin’s surprise, Sebastian’s expression turned even colder than before.
“What do you mean by letting them join the family officially? What do they have to do with the Jadesons?”
As soon as Sebastian finished, Devin was rendered speechless.
Devin asked Sebastian out of curiosity and wasn’t plotting anything. Also, he sincerely wished to find out if Sebastian’s memory had recovered.
In short, Devin asked the questions because he cared about Sebastian.
Shocked by Sebastian’s cold and sharp response, Devin didn’t utter a word for quite some time.
“You—”
When Sebastian wanted to say something, Devin suddenly stood up and said, “Well, I shall take my leave. Please get some rest.”
With that, Devin turned around and left without listening to Sebastian.
Sebastian frowned and watched him leave.
However, he didn’t say anything to stop Devin from leaving and opened the notebook again a few seconds later.
Sebastian jotted down the relationships between many people and the Jadesons.
One couldn’t help but think that the people in the notebook were some wolves that lurked around to devour the Jadesons.
