Chapter 1392 Too Warm A Welcome

"So? Is it a yes?” Sebastian asked.

“It's a yes,” Devin answered honestly. “But he won't be staying there all the time. He'll visit itoccasionally and spend most of his time on this island.”

Sebastian bobbed his head. “All right. lan, you'll follow Mr. Pence to the base. Your Uncle Solomonneeds to leave the company for some time, and your mommy and I have to return to Avenport forthe time being. Is it okay if Ms. Dolivo comes to take care of you?”

He turned to his child, seeking the latter's approval.

The other people stared at him in disbelief when they heard what he said. They did not know aboutthis.

Sabrina inquired, “Leave the company? Where is he going?”

"Uh, The Fourth Hospital?” came Devin’s hesitant reply.

No one knew how to react to his comment.

In the end, Solomon broke the silence by saying, “No, I'm going to Dr. Wallen. I've already contactedhim, and it'll take around two to three months.”

Ichika chimed in, “Yes, don't worry. I'll be with him.”

The room fell into another state of silence.

Those who did not know about it would probably feel like a fool.

However, everyone was pleased with the arrangements. After a brief uncomfortable silence, theyresumed chattering happily.

Lunch was a pleasant affair. After that, they packed up. Sasha, Sebastian, Ichika, and Solomonbrought Vivian and Matteo back to Avenport.

Sabrina and Devin remained on the island to take care of lan before Wendy's arrival.

“Aunt Sabrina, you can actually leave instead of staying here with me,” lan said.

Sensing her nephew's annoyance, Sabrina glared at him.

“Why? Do you replace me annoying? lan Hayes, if you make me upset, I will stay here forever!” shedeclared.

Bristling angrily, the boy ran downstairs to work on his homework.

Seeing his reaction, Sabrina laughed in satisfaction.

"Mrs. Hayes? Mrs. Hayes, are you here?” A voice sounded outside the house.

“Huh?” Sabrina hurried out upon hearing that. “Oh, it's you, Mrs. Pence.”

Sabrina stared at the middle-aged woman who had a very short, no-nonsense haircut, her bobending right beneath her ears. Clad in the research institute's white coat, the unexpected visitor hadtwo bunches of bananas in her hands.

Leah flashed a smile. “Yes. Is Mrs. Hayes here? I have some bananas for her. They are not ordinarybananas. I brought them here from my hometown. Trust me, they are delicious!”

She gestured at the bananas that seemed to weigh at least ten pounds.

There was no way Sabrina would refuse her gift.

She accepted the bananas gratefully and responded, “Mrs. Pence, thank you. My brother and hiswife have returned to Avenport. lan is being taken care of by me and my husband. Do you want tocome in?"

"Oh, I see. I won't go in then. Since they've left, I bet you won't be cooking that often, right? Whydon't you come to my house for dinner tonight?” Leah suddenly extended an invitation.

Sabrina was at a loss for words.

After all, Leah was right. She couldn't cook, indeed.

She had been spoiled and pampered her whole life. Though she had been through some hardships,some things remained foreign to her.

Devin's occupational hazard was acting up, so he was nowhere to be seen. He was most probablybusy searching for the border posts on the island.

Sighing inwardly, Sabrina agreed to her offer shamelessly.

Leah was delighted. “Great, I'll head home to prepare dinner now. Actually, I came here in the firstplace because Ambrose has been working hard alone,” she revealed.

"Oh, is it?" Sabrina was surprised to learn that.

“Mm-hmm. You said Sebastian would send a maid over to take care of your nephew, right? There'sno need to do that; I can take care of him,” Leah offered eagerly.

Huh? Sabrina froze in shock. Why is she this enthusiastic?

She merely gave the overly enthusiastic woman a smile without saying anything else.

We adore lan a lot. Ian's also the heir of the Jadeson family. I can't just leave him in the hands of astranger! His father wouldn't agree, let alone me, his aunt.

That night, Sabrina and Devin brought lan to Ambrose’s house for dinner as agreed.

A spread was served before them. Leah had almost filled the entire table with various dishes. Sheeven gave lan special treatment by preparing shrimp rolls and a plate of steak for him.

She told him, “Little lan, this is for you. Eat up.”

“Thank you,” lan replied.

Though he was an aloof little boy, he didn't forget to thank the woman for preparing the dishesspecially for him.

Leah beamed. “Ah, what an obedient kid. There's no need to be this polite with me. You can comeover anytime if you miss my cooking!”

With an amiable smile on her lips, she reached out to pat his head.

However, just like his father, lan suffered from mysophobia. He immediately swerved out of herreach and frowned in displeasure.

“It's fine. Mrs. Pence, he’s just a kid,” Sabrina answered on his behalf.

After witnessing the entire exchange, she hurriedly went over to lan to stand between both of them.Leah shuffled back to the kitchen awkwardly.

Even so, she kept turning back to glance at lan, who had already started eating.
