Like last time Sasha went to find him at the military base, the female instructor pressed Sebastian down using the same method.
At the moment, Devin was staring at him.
However, Sebastian did not even spare Devin a glance.
Standing up, he dusted his clothes off and lifted his feet to leave.
After such a huge conflict, he chose to ignore Devin.
Seeing that, Devin simply remained silent.
“Huh? Sebastian, are you going back? Are you okay?” Janice ran into Sebastian just when she was bringing in two pairs of new candles.
Sebastian said faintly, “Yeah. I’m heading home for a shower.”
What kind of reason is that?
With that, Devin and Janice watched as Sebastian drove off into the horizon. The mourning hall was as silent as ever.
Meanwhile, Sasha wanted to go to Red Pavilion that morning.
She had been waiting the whole night, but Sebastian did not come back yet. If it were not for the three kids, she would have gone over there last night.
Just as she was getting ready to leave, she heard Sebastian coming home.
“Darling, you’re finally back.”
She walked over to welcome him, delighted by his presence.
But when she tried to hug him, he avoided her with an indifferent expression.
Sasha fell silent.
“Yes. I’ll go upstairs and get changed. I’ll come down shortly for breakfast.” Sebastian walked past her swiftly and went upstairs.
Sasha’s face turned pale in an instant.
She had no idea what happened, but she could tell that Sebastian was deliberately avoiding her.
Why is he behaving like this? What happened? Wasn’t everything fine when he went out last night?
Sasha was at a loss, not knowing what to think.
She walked into the kitchen and pondered for a long while.
“Have you heard about it? Something happened at Red Pavilion today.”
“What?”
Right then, the housemaids in the garden outside started gossiping.
“What happened? Aren’t they having a funeral there?”
“I doubt they’d be able to have it. Mr. Devin did not show up, and Mr. Sebastian had been waiting the entire night. When Mr. Devin did finally arrive this morning, the two of them got into a fight in the mourning hall.”
The housemaid spoke in a perplexed tone as if she could not wrap her head around the news.
Oh my God! How could they start a fight in such a sacred place?
Olivia was doing some errands in the garden when she heard the gossips. She put down her work immediately and ran into the kitchen. “Madam, I heard that Mr. Sebastian and Mr. Devin got into a fight this morning.”
“What?” Sasha, who was still deep in thought, was stunned.
“Yes. They’re talking about it right now. One of the housemaids has a sister working at Red Pavilion. Madam, do you want to go there and check it out?” Olivia asked with concern as she had no idea that Sebastian had already returned.
However, as soon as she finished her sentence, Sasha ran out of the kitchen and headed upstairs.
So, he had a fight.
Sasha made a beeline to the third floor.
When she tried to open the door, she found that it was locked from the inside. She gazed through the window and spotted some worn clothes on the chair.
Those clothes looked dirty and torn.
All the color drained from Sasha’s face as she immediately ran downstairs to find the key to the room. Then, she came back to the third floor.
Click.
The moment she entered the room, she could hear sounds of water-flowing coming from the bathroom.
“Darling? Are you all right? Please open the door. Did you fall?” She panicked as she kept pounding on the bathroom door.
It lasted for a whole minute before the door was finally opened from the inside.
Sebastian walked out slowly, dripping wet.
“What is it?”
Sebastian furrowed his brows and asked casually.
He showed no trace of anger for her intrusion without permission.
At that instance, Sasha did not know how to react.
She shifted her gaze toward his body that was only covered with a loosely-tied towel. Instantly, her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Oh my God. I can’t handle this view.
The next moment, she regained her senses and forced herself to look the other way.
“I-It’s nothing… I heard from the housemaids that you got into a fight with Devin at Red Pavilion. Is that true? Are you hurt?”
