After two days, at the Hayes Residence.
After moving in with the kids, everyone in the house got along swimmingly. No one felt unused to it because they had all gone through the crisis.
“Sasha, have you had your meal? We have some cake and home-made juice at our place. I can bring them over if you’d like.”
“Oh, you’re too kind, Cheryl.”
It was Thanksgiving, so Sasha and Wendy were busy getting ready and had not cooked just yet when Ethan’s wife came over to ask them to try some food that she had made.
“Don’t say that. We’re family. Even if you’re not hungry, I’m sure the kids are famished at this point. Let me bring them over to let them have it first.”
Cheryl was quick on her feet and ran to the yard to call the kids over.
After a few minutes, she brought the kids in, along with Frieda behind her, and left.
“Madam, the atmosphere in this household right now is simply wonderful,” Wendy gushed.
Sasha nodded. “Yeah. Maybe their eyes were finally opened after what had happened.”
She was sincerely grateful as no one knew the house better than Sasha did. The family was in shambles when she first got there. Everyone was going against everyone else in the family.
All of them had their plots and ploys and were vastly different from how they were in front of others. It was among the worst days Sasha had ever experienced.
“I agree. Now that everyone is on the same boat, things became a lot better. I only wish Mr. Hayes could be here to see it.”
Wendy started feeling down as she spoke.
Sasha, on the other hand, did not respond. At that moment, she was feeling the same.
It was truly regrettable.
Maybe he is still watching over us in heaven? He’ll be happy to see how harmonious the family is right now.
It was already late in the afternoon when everything finally finished.
“I’ll go cook now, Madam.”
“Alright. I’ll clean up and bring some things over to my place. My brother’s the only one at home right now,” Sasha said as she packed up some stuff.
Lance was the only one left in the Wand residence after Sasha moved out. She wanted to ask him to move with him, but he refused and told her that he wanted to wait for his father to come back.
Thus, she had no other choice but leave him be.
After she packed up, Frieda suddenly came back. “Are you bringing some food over to Sebby?” She asked after seeing the things Sasha had with her.
“No. These are for my brother, mom. Are you hungry? I can get you some food right now if you are.”
Nonetheless, Frieda did not reply her.
Her condition did not seem to be getting any better.
“Brother? You mean, Uncle?”
“Huh?” Sasha was puzzled for quite some time before realizing that Frieda was using the way the kids addressed Lance.
“Yeah. Uncle.”
“I want to go too. I want to see Rufus! Let me come with you!” Frieda actually said Sasha’s father’s name and was eager to join her.
Sasha was astonished by what she just heard.
She just got back from Jetroina not long ago, so she did not know much about the woman who appeared out of the blue in front of her.
The only thing she knew was whatever Sebastian briefly told her previously. She did not know that Frieda knew her father and that they were this close.
“Mom. Do you… Know my dad?”
“Of course! Rufus, Shin, and my brother-in-law were always together! They look amazing in their military uniforms.”
The senile old lady crouched down and raised the lollipop she had as soon as she started talking about that. Her eyes glistened like the stars at night.
Sasha went quiet after that.
Does that mean Dad, Shin, and Frederick stayed together in the military?
Sasha was astounded by the information she just got as she had never heard about it from her father.
When Sasha arrived at the Wand residence, Lance told her that he got a call from the prison, telling him that her father was free to go.
That’s great news!
Sasha was really excited, so she immediately called Sebastian. “Sebby, my dad is free to go. Could you come with me to fetch him?” She asked with anticipation in her eyes.
She was not usually this coquettish. If it were the old her, she would have gone there by herself.
That said, at that very moment, Sasha just felt the need to bring Sebastian along. It was like he was now part of her, and she could not do anything without him.
Currently, Sebastian was in a very important meeting.
But when he got the call, he agreed without hesitation, “Sure. Where are you right now? I’ll head over.”
