Due to lan's lack of skill and knowledge, lunch took an hour to finish preparing.

"What's wrong with my mom today?" lan asked.

"I don't know," Susan answered hesitantly.

"Where did you meet her?" lan questioned.

Susan stayed silent, not daring to answer his question because she was about to get in someoneelse's car when she met Sasha.

Susan guilty carried her dishes to the dining table. "Let's eat first and talk later. Mrs. Hayes, lunch isready.”

"Lunch is ready?"

Sasha was having a good time sunbathing on the balcony before Susan called for her. She left thebalcony and walked to the dining room.

There were pork ribs, lemon butter fish, mushroom soup, and even steak and salmon.

Sasha was ecstatic at the variety of food.

As she took a seat, gratification filled her when she saw her capable daughter-in-law serving soupfor her.

"Mommy, you... Why are you smiling the whole time?"

"Huh?"

Sasha turned her head to see lan who was observing her with a strange look.

Sasha chided herself internally. I need to control myself.

Susan was preparing to return to campus after lunch while lan had taken leave that day, so heplanned to spend the rest of the day with Sasha.

However, Sasha had already booked her return flight after lunch.

"lan, Susan, I have to return as your dad is looking for me."

"Huh?"

Both lan and Susan were stunned at her sudden change in plan, especially lan.

His heart turned heavy after hearing the news.

"Mommy, didn't you say you plan to stay here for a couple of days? Why is Daddy even looking foryou anyway? He couldn't replace his shirt at home or he couldn't eat without you by his side?"

"Hey!"

Sasha didn't know how to rebuke lan's smart mouth.

I'm not heading home for Sebastian but lan. I need to urgently settle his affairs and mattersregarding the Lightburn family and Sigrith.

Sasha had lan send her to the airport.

"lan, I want to ask you something. Do you truly like the girl you told me about this afternoon at thecinema? Are you sure she is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

Screech!

Her sudden question shocked lan into jamming on the brakes.

"Mommy, you-" With his ears turning red, lan couldn't finish his sentence from the embarrassmentat having the girl he liked being brought up in their conversation.

How did our conversation get there? We were talking just fine earlier, so why is she suddenly askingme about this out of nowhere?

In that split second, he noticed how his mother's usually gentle and humorous expression hadturned serious.

"I'm not joking with you. When I married your dad at eighteen, my life had just started, and I had abright prospect ahead of me.

"However, I didn't hesitate and decided to marry him right away when I heard that I could marryhim. I was sure I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. lan, everyone needs to makenumerous decisions in their life, including choosing their significant other. If you're sure about her,then don't ever let go of her. Sometimes, thinking too much will only lead you to regret,” Sashaearnestly advised.

Of course, I can't tell lan I hypnotized him before and therefore knew everything about him. He'll bevery upset if he replaces out since he has a strong sense of pride. Besides, I hope he can replace the stuffhe has thrown away back using his own means.

lan didn't respond and merely stared dead ahead as though he was mulling over her advice.Sasha knew he needed some time to think, so she didn't bother him. Instead, she reached for herphone and texted her daughter, telling Vivian she would be flying off soon.

Vivian texted back almost immediately: Mommy! Didn't you say you were going to spend a fewdays here? How come you're going back now?

Vivian cried on the spot when she heard about her mom leaving.

Sasha's fingers instantly tapped on her phone quickly trying to comfort Vivian.

I'm sorry, Vivi. I need to meet with your dad urgently, but I'll be back to visit you when I have time.Don't worry.

Vivian sent a crying face emoji

Suddenly, Kurt texted: Okay, stop crying. There is Easter holiday in April. I can take you to visit yourmom then.

Vivian was so ecstatic that she could only manage to send:!!!!

Then, she smiled again.

Sasha was relieved when she saw Kurt caring for Vivian.

Sasha left the city that same day.

When everyone returned to the apartment that night, they were surprised that Sigrun didn't comeback.

Vivian asked, "Why isn't Sigrun back yet? Did she have something going on?"

Susan didn't say anything and buried her head into what she was doing.

lan didn't even listen to the conversation and focused on the pealing scallions in the kitchen. Hislong slender fingers fiddling with the vegetable were like a work of art.q
