She held her two children in her arms. Worn out, she felt incredibly guilty and pained. When and how did Matteo know about his father? Besides, why does he have so many physical defects that I have no idea about? What am I doing? How can a mother not know anything this serious? For the first time, she felt that she had failed miserably as a mother. “Matteo, tell Mommy. Did you already know about Daddy?” Sasha finally calmed herself down and asked the boy. After hearing that, Ian, who was lying in her chest, immediately drooped his head. He felt helpless and didn’t know how to explain it to his mother.
He was actually scared that she would abandon him after he told her the truth. Fortunately, Vivian was there. When she saw him afraid to speak, she blinked her sparkling eyes and helped Ian. “Yeah, Mommy. Vivi knows too.” “Huh? You too?” “Yeah, because Mommy was always bullied and even kept away by Daddy, Matt became angry, so he followed the bad guy that got you and found out who Daddy is.” In a childish voice, the little girl explained how the siblings found out about their father. After listening, words couldn’t describe Sasha’s emotions at that moment. Well, it makes sense. Although my son is only five, he has an exceptional IQ and can hack into the entire local network server in Clear. So what’s so strange about him finding out about his useless father? Sasha decided to drop the topic and looked at the little guy sadly. Both mother and son went quiet.
Suddenly, the two kids had a gut feeling that something terrible was about to happen. “Matteo, Mommy feels really guilty about you because… I never knew about your health problems. It’s all Mommy’s fault. Mommy will take you back to Clear, alright? Let’s go as soon as possible. From now on, I will only focus on getting you well, alright?” Sasha held her son’s tiny hands and told him her decision while enduring her pain within. Huh… I should’ve prioritized the more important things instead of those significant matters that didn’t belong to me in the first place. How can he endure all these without me knowing?
He’s only five! Sasha lowered her gaze and tears started flowing down uncontrollably. The siblings were shocked upon hearing her words. Go back to Clear? No way! Mommy is taking us out of here? Then, what about Matteo? He’s still in Frontier Bay! Ian was frightened. If Mommy leaves, does that mean I’ll be left alone again? I don’t have anyone here… Is she abandoning me again? Ian teared up and ran away from his mother’s arms. “Matteo! Why are you running away? Come back! Don’t run!” Sasha quickly stood up and rushed over with her daughter. What’s wrong with him? Why did he run away when I told them about going back to Clear? Sasha was confused. Perhaps, if she realized that it was Ian instead of Matteo, she would understand.
However, for Ian, it was the most unacceptable thing for his mother to abandon him again. — Matteo’s father brought him home that day. This bad Daddy must be rejected by Ian, who chose Mommy, so that’s why he looks so angry. He even ignored me when I said hi to him first. Hmph! Bad Daddy. I won’t talk to you if you neglect me! Sitting at the back, Matteo took out his snacks from his little backpack from preschool and ate his lollipop happily. “What are you doing?” “Huh? Nothing! I’m just playing.” There’s no way I will tell Daddy about how I have helped Ian secure his place at school today. If Daddy knew,
he would beat me up! Matteo took out his toy car from one of his winnings. Eww! What’s this childish thing? I’m already in preschool! Sebastian had been observing the boy from the rearview mirror. How dare this ungrateful little brat turn to that woman immediately after five years of me taking care of him! But what is he doing? He was a little surprised when he noticed the little guy’s behavior. The boy simply threw his backpack on the seat and sat with his legs crossed. “Ian, who taught you how to sit like that? Didn’t Daddy teach you about proper manners? Why did you already learn these bad habits after going to preschool for only two days?”
