Sasha was perplexed by Sebastian’s words. Huh? I wouldn’t have run into him if he didn’t stop walking without warning.
Nonetheless, she did not attempt to defend herself because she was in seventh heaven when she saw Sebastian holding her hand.
“I’m sorry, Darling. I was too careless,” Sasha lowered her head while apologizing obediently.
Sebastian was bereft of speech and intended to let go of her hand.
However, he changed his mind after noticing the soldiers looking at them in bewilderment. He then snorted coldly before leaving with Sasha.
Around ten minutes later, they arrived in front of a building.
Sasha thought Sebastian would bring her back to the dorm since sending clothes to him was her primary purpose for meeting with him.
Surprisingly, he took her to the cafeteria instead of the dorm.
“Haven’t you had your breakfast yet, Darling?” Sasha blurted out in astonishment.
“Nope,” Sebastian answered in an emotionless tone.
Upon hearing his answer, Sasha became even more delighted. She then walked into the cafeteria with him in anticipation. As soon as they entered, she saw various types of food waiting for them to devour in the hall that could accommodate up to a thousand people.
Despite the area’s spaciousness, not many people were in there at that moment.
Does that even matter? What matters is that there’s food to eat! Ecstatic was the only accurate word to describe Sasha’s current feeling.
When she noticed sweet crepes, one of the local delicacies of Avenport, which were placed not too far away from them, Sasha hurried over excitedly. “Look, Darling! I never thought Avenport’s delicacy would be available here! Can we eat this? I want to try it. It’s been a while since I had it.”
She was drooling over the delicious-looking sweet crepes while acting coquettishly with Sebastian.
Before Sebastian could react, the cafeteria lady had discovered his presence. “Seb? What are you doing here again? Are you still hungry?”
The atmosphere in the cafeteria grew still instantly as an awkward silence ensued.
Witnessing what had happened, Sasha felt like laughing out loud but suppressed it and tried to ease the situation when she saw Sebastian’s embarrassed expression. “I haven’t had breakfast yet, madam. That’s why my husband brought me over here.”
“I see. All right then. I’ll prepare some food for both of you right away.” The cafeteria lady stopped asking questions but went to the kitchen to prepare sweet crepes for them promptly.
Sasha then tried to coax Sebastian, “Come on. Let’s take our seats over here. You’re the best, Darling. Did you already know that sweet crepes are available here? Is that why you brought me over here?”
However, Sebastian did not give her any response.
As Sasha had expected, the stubborn and egoistic man still had a darkened expression while remaining silent.
Feeling amused, Sasha continued, “By the way, I have something to tell you, Darling. Our children told me that their school is holding a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. Since you’re returning tomorrow, can you go with me?”
“A parent-teacher meeting? What’s it like?” That topic had successfully piqued Sebastian’s interest.
“I’m not too sure. Matteo said it’s their regular parent-teacher meeting. I believe it’s about the school curriculum and the children’s performance in school. It’s probably best for us to attend the meeting since our children just started studying there,” Sasha tried to convince Sebastian as she was afraid that he might refuse to go with her.
Fortunately, Sebastian cared about his children and nodded in agreement. “Got it.”
Sasha was full of joy when she heard his words.
Half an hour later, Sasha finished her meal and placed the cutlery down in satisfaction. She then glanced toward Sebastian’s untouched plate and smirked. So he has indeed taken his breakfast already.
“There’s another thing I need to tell you, Darling. Tony gave me Oceanic Estate’s ledger under Old Mr. Jadeson’s order yesterday. He’s leaving Oceanic Estate for me to manage in the future. W-What’s your opinion on that?”
“He’s leaving Oceanic Estate to you? Why so sudden?” Those words from Sasha startled Sebastian, who had been fiddling with his cup out of boredom.
“Not a clue. Old Mr. Jameson also called Janice over out of the blue yesterday, asking her to help me get familiar with the Jadeson residence. Do you feel that something is off about this as well, Darling?” Sasha could not help but feel worried when she saw Sebastian frowning.
Deep down, she was suspicious of that whole matter as well.
After all, she knew that she had no right to handle that matter, given her current circumstances. Why did Old Mr. Jadeson make such a decision then? What does it mean?
Her intuition told her that there was something amiss about the matter.
“Hmm, I think it’s understandable. Since the family has been chaotic for years, it’s normal that he has the intention to find someone to manage it.”
