What the hell? Must he be so rude?
Sasha’s face turned a bright shade of red.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely finish it on time.”
She quickly lowered her head and focused on the ledger again.
It was a natural thing for a couple to sleep together, but Sasha found it awkward because they hadn’t been together for more than a year.
Sebastian had really changed a lot.
Could it be that he was addicted?
Sasha stole a puzzled glance at Sebastian.
That night, the kids didn’t see Sasha at the nursery.
“Matt, why isn’t Mommy here to accompany us? Didn’t Daddy promise us to let her come down after she finishes her work?”
Vivian was very clingy to Sasha.
When Sasha didn’t turn up as usual to read bedtime stories to her, she carried her plushie and came to her brothers’ room.
Matteo smiled like a cunning little fox upon seeing Vivian.
“You little idiot. That means Mommy still hasn’t finished her work. She won’t be able to finish it today.”
Vivian pouted and almost began to cry when Ian shot Matteo a look and got down from his bed.
“Don’t listen to Matt. Mommy will come down when she’s done. Do you want to hear a bedtime story? Let me read it for you.”
Then, Ian took Vivian’s hand in his and tucked her in his bed.
Ian, who was raised by Sebastian, was more mature than Matteo, who was raised by Sasha. Perhaps it was due to Sasha’s parenting method that failed to suppress Matteo’s mischief nature.
Sasha slept at the third floor that night.
She was too tired to know that Sebastian had turned off her phone and threw it into a drawer, ignoring a message that Sabrina sent her at midnight.
Sabrina: Sasha, do you have Jake’s phone number? Devin has been missing for two days!
By right, Devin should have been at the Woods residence. After all, Jonathan and Mark were just there that morning.
It was odd enough for Sabrina to message Sasha at such late hours.
However, as Sabrina was able to go to the Woods residence whenever she liked, it meant that Devin was indeed not at the Woods residence.
It was yet another sleepless night for Sabrina, but luckily for her, she got hold of Jake’s contact number in the morning.
Useless man: Here’s Jake’s number, but I suggest you don’t look for Devin. Do you think he still wants to see you when he’s already changed his phone number and completely avoided you?
Sabrina flared up upon seeing Solomon’s taunt.
Sabrina: This is none of your business!
Useless man: I’m merely reminding you that your brother caused his parents’ death. Do you really think he will still accept you? Do you think you stand a chance when he has never accepted you even before this incident?
Solomon pointed out the truth blatantly.
Finally, Sabrina stopped replying.
The color drained from her face as she sat numbly in the car. There was only sadness left in her eyes.
She knew that Devin would never accept her, but still, there was no way she could let him ruin his own life.
Sabrina closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination.
Sabrina: Like I said, this is none of your business.
Before Solomon could send his reply, Sabrina turned off her phone and tossed it to the side.
Sabrina was driving when her phone notification rang a few minutes later. It was a message notifying her that five million was transferred from Hayes Corporation to her account.
Meanwhile, Devin was with Jake, for he couldn’t stand being alone in the house after the funeral.
Jake had booked a luxury suite in a nightclub for their friends. Seeing that their friends were having fun, he came over to Devin and asked, “What are you planning to do next, Devin?”
