The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 200

That night, Sasha didn't sleep in the study on the third floor. Instead, she returned to her bedroomon the second floor.Hence, the second floor was particularly lively that night.“Mommy, are you sleeping with me tonight? My bed is especially comfy!”"Of course not. Mommy, don't listen to Vivi. She just wants to sleep with you. You should come tomy room instead.”When Matteo saw that his sister wanted to cling to Sasha, he stormed over and foiled her plancruelly. Instead, he invited Sasha to his room.It was normal for a five-year-old to want to sleep with his mom. Any other kid would pine for theirparents the same way at that age. Nevertheless, Matteo was already more mature than his peers.When Sasha heard his rare request, she hugged him and agreed“No, come over to my room!”At that moment, lan approached them.When he saw Sasha agreeing to Matteo's request, he too squeezed into her embrace with areluctant expression.Sasha was at a loss.What am I going to do with them?Left without a choice, she allowed all three to join her in her room."Why don't I tell you a story. After that, all of you sweeties will have to go back to your respectiverooms to sleep, alright?”“Alright!”At that moment, the kids eagerly agreed.Hence, Sasha took out a book from Ian's room and sat by the bed. She allowed them to snuggle upto her as she began to read the story to them.“Today, when I arrived at school, Mr. Holt asked me, “Ally, are you going to write it or not?’ His tonewas extremely sharp...”What is this book?After reading further, Sasha felt something was wrong. She stopped immediately and looked at thecover.When lan saw it, he clenched his little hands which a moment ago was used as a snack box byVivian.“The Flying Fish? Little lan, did Daddy buy this for you?"“Mmm-hmm..." Ian replied as his gaze darkened.The next moment, he hung his head and didn't have the courage to look at the three of them.Daddy told me that these books were suited for me. Now that Mommy and Matt have seen them,will they think less of me? And wonder why am I reading books like this? Perhaps, they might thinkthat I'm not a normal child?lan was exceptionally upset.“It's a good book, Little lan. Daddy really loves you. I have wanted to buy this book for Matt and Vivibut could never replace it.”“Really?”lan lifted his head in disbelief. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with delight.Given how savvy Matteo was, he immediately recognized Sasha's intention.Hence, he acted in concert with Sasha. “That's right. We didn't manage to buy it. lan, if Mommydoesn't finish it tonight, can I borrow it from you?”“Me too! Me too! I want to borrow it too!”Vivian blindly joined in as she just didn’t want to miss out on whatever her brother wanted.Consequently, lan was cheered up by their response and nodded vehemently, agreeing to theirrequest.After that, Sasha continued with the story. This time the children huddled tightly by her side,listening to her gentle voice describing the events in the book.It was a beautiful scene. Unknown to them, Sebastian was watching and it warmed his heart in themiddle of a blisteringly cold winter.The next morning, Sebastian left early.However, before he did, he reminded the bodyguards at the villa to strictly not allow Sasha to leave.Hence, after Sasha woke up with the children and came downstairs, she prepared to head to thehospital to check in on the others.Suddenly, a bodyguard stood in front of her and stopped her.“Ms. Wand, I'm sorry. Mr. Hayes has instructed that you're not allowed to leave here for the timebeing.”“I know. I just want to check in at the hospital as I still have some unfinished business there,” Sashacasually replied before trying to move ahead.She had not taken Sebastian's words from last night seriously and didn't think he would actually doit.After all, they were no longer related and there was no reason for him to protect her to that extent.She felt she was not deserving off that honor.Furthermore, there was no way that she could keep staying at the villa as she still had a lot of workto do at the hospital. Although she had cleared her name, she still needed to drop by to check.What if I lose my job?But, the moment she took a step, the bodyguard blocked her way again.“Ms. Wand, please cooperate with us.”Damn it!Sasha widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. Left without a choice, she went back into thehouse feeling upset.Something must have gotten into him to actually try and restrict my movements.As Sasha headed back into the villa gloomily, Wendy happened to walk out. When she saw Sasha,she waved at her. “Ms. Wand, come over quickly. I have something for you.”“What is it?"Sasha approached her.Finally, the maid took out a checklist and counted the items on it. She then realized that there weremore than thirty items in total.
