Chapter 1396 You Must Be Overthinking

It was a piece of shrimp roll.

As Wendy trembled in horror, Xayden took the shrimp roll to run tests on them. Uneasiness surgedin Wendy's heart as they waited for the results together.

Karl couldn't hide his shock.

What's going on? Why did Mr. Hayes ask Xayden to run tests on that shrimp roll?

That night, everyone had a sleepless night.

The next morning, everyone swiveled their heads to stare at Xayden when he showed up.

“So? Is there something wrong with the shrimp roll, Xayden?”

"Yes, Xayden. Tell us about the results,” Wendy urged.

To everyone's surprise, Xayden shook his head, seemingly confused by the results, too.

“The shrimp roll is fine. I ran a few tests but only got these.” He offered a piece of handwritten paperfull of data.

Karl grabbed the paper from him at once.

"XX percent of protein, XX calories, vitamin... Damn it, Xayden! What the heck is this? Who told youto analyze this?” he demanded.

“Isn't that what Mr. Hayes wants? Mr. lan is refusing to eat, so he wants to replace out the nutrientcontent, right?” the young man retorted

His tone was devoid of any guilt or shame.

Both Karl and Wendy were rendered speechless.

They stared at Xayden without a word for some time.

The three of them were in a stalemate at the door when Sebastian and lan came down the stairs.After getting a good night's sleep with his father, lan seemed more energized this morning and wasback to his usual self.

“Daddy, where are Vivi, Mommy, and Matt? Are they all right at home?”

"Yes, they are fine. They miss you a lot, though. Do you want to come home with me?”

He had made that decision to bring his son home after considering for a long time last night.

Alas, the boy merely widened his eyes and replied, “No, I won't leave. I haven't finished my research.Mr. Pence and the others are developing a spacecraft. I added a microchip inside so it can senseforeign signals in space. I can't go home now.”

Sebastian couldn't believe he had just been rejected by his son.

Fine. He's a genius, after all.

He stopped talking about that and brought his son downstairs after they changed out of theirpajamas.

"Mr. Hayes, good morning. Xayden just informed us that there's nothing wrong with the food fromlast night,” Wendy reported as soon as she spotted them.

It wasn't her fault, for she was tasked with taking care of this child. If something were to happen tohim, it would be her fault. She wouldn't forgive herself if that were true.

At her words, a hint of surprise flashed across her usually calm employer's gaze.

“It's fine?"

“Yes, Mr. Hayes,” came Xayden's reply. “I've run a few tests on it. Are you planning on preparing ahealthy and balanced menu for Mr. lan because he has been refusing to eat?”

Sebastian did not answer to that.

He merely dismissed them with a wave and brought his son to the dining table.

It's fine? Was I wrong?

After revealing the breakfast spread prepared by Wendy, he looked at his son and asked, “Whichone do you want?”

“Milk. And a sandwich,” lan replied.

He grabbed his fork earnestly, seemingly eager to enjoy his breakfast.

Sebastian sank into his thoughts.

His brows were still knitted up when they finished breakfast.

Half an hour later, lan finished his breakfast. Karl brought him out for a stroll while Sebastian gaveGrayson a call.

“If he returns to his usual self after your arrival, we can assume there's no one he can communicatewith on that island, so he refuses to talk. He's a loner, so it's normal for him to react that way if hisfamily isn't with him,” Grayson explained.

The frown marring Sebastian's brows deepened.

If that was the problem plaguing lan, he did not mind spending some time with him. That wasn't ahuge issue.

That day, he called Sabrina, who was in Jadeborough, and told her to return to Avenport to run thecompany as he would be busy taking care of lan on the island.

Sabrina found that funny.

“Is he serious? He wants me to run the company? Shouldn't he ask me to take care of his son? I'm awoman, so I should be taking care of the child!” she complained to Devin.

Devin had no choice but to persuade her, “Darling, think from another perspective. He wants you torun the company because he thinks you're as capable as him. Isn't that great?”

“Really?” she exclaimed, her eyes flashing in excitement.

Indeed, women love to be praised.

Thus, Sebastian remained on the island while Sabrina returned to Avenport and took over the reinsof Hayes Corporation when its CEO wasn't in town.

Both brother and sister were capable beings.
