The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 35

lan? That little bore? Matteo’s eyes widened as the door sprung open after the face recognitionmachine blinked a green light. If I remember correctly, he's that meanie’s son. Why do we have thesame face? Does this mean that meanie is my dad too? Matteo's blood boiled in anger as he walkedpast the door. It did not take him long before he realized this was not the place he was looking for.Judging from the decor, it was a tastefully furnished resting lounge.Hm... A TV, a couch, a bed... Wait... Is this a house? This is probably a resting area. Else there won't bea glass door outside. Once he confirmed this was not the President's office, Matteo headed back tothe door and continued his search. “Face recognition completed. Welcome, Sebastian.” Just as hewas heading out, the machine rang again. Sh*t, he’s here! What do I do now? Matteo ran back in andquickly scanned the spacious lounge for a place to hide. He spotted a huge wardrobe and hid inthere. It was true that he came looking for Sebastian, but all he wanted was to spy on that meanieand get more information about him in case he bullied Mommy again. Getting caught red-handedwas the last thing the boy wanted.Matteo closed the wardrobe door and tried hard to pace his rapid breathing so Sebastian would nothear him. What he least expected was that after that meanie got into the room, he came straight tothe wardrobe. “Seriously, I can't believe the medicine tastes this bitter!” Sebastian had beencomplaining ever since he was forced to drink the whole bottle of medicinal drink when he was athis office. He slid the door opened, and to his bewilderment, a small figure stood like a statuebefore his array of clothes. The man and the boy stared at each other in blank astonishment themoment Sebastian opened the door. Dang it! Matteo's face turned as pale as a ghost as he lookedat Sebastian in the eyes. But instead of being angry with the child, Sebastian looked like he wasthrown completely off the balance. “lan, what are you doing here? I thought you were at the office?”lan again? Is he here too? Matteo soon realized what was happening and went along with the flow.He shot Sebastian a sweet smile. “I just got here, Daddy.” The man was utterly shocked. What'swrong with him? Is he really smiling at me right now? Am I seeing things? How did he even get overhere so quickly? I swear I didn't see him earlier. Or did he get here when I was on the phone just now?Sebastian squinted his eyes and looked hard at the kid. Before he could do anything, his phone rangand a message notification showed on his screen. “Since you're here already, you might as well justrest at the lounge. The woman, I mean, the doctor has already left, so Daddy will bring you homewhen I'm done with work.” “Huh?” Matteo rolled his eyes around trying to make sense of what hejust heard. The doctor? Is he referring to Mommy? Why did Mommy come? And why did she bring thatlittle bore here?The boy had many questions on his mind, but since Sebastian asked him to just stay at the lounge,he did as he was told. “Alright, I'll stay here. You don't have to worry,” Matteo said with a warmsmile. Although this was already the second time his son smiled at him, it still caught Sebastian offguard. lan is behaving abnormally. I'm sure the woman must have cast a spell on him or something.I'd better make sure lan stays away from her. A gloom settled over Sebastian's face as he walked outof the lounge. Seeing him left, Matteo sneaked out of the place. Since lan was also here, he figuredit would be best if he got out as soon as possible. It would be disastrous if people realized therewere two kids who looked the same. He took the elevator all the way to the ground floor, ready tohead back to the preschool. When he got out of the building, he saw a cab by the entrance.Beside the car was a middle-aged lady in her forties or fifties, and she was holding a little girl on herright, and a boy of his own age on her left. Vivi? Mrs. Grint? What on earth are they doing here? Whois that boy beside them? That little bore? Matteo felt like he was going crazy. He dashed towards thetwo dimwits, wanting to tell them that the boy was actually a fake. But before he could do that, avoice called for him from behind. “lan! What are you doing here? Didn't Mr. Hayes asks you to stayin the lounge? Why did you come down alone? It's dangerous! Come, I'll bring you back up.” Lukebeckoned him. It so happened that Sebastian’s assistant was there, and he came over to dragMatteo back in. Matteo had no other choice but to look at the clueless nanny shoving lan into thecar after his sister got in. As for himself, he was pulled right back into the building against his will.Gosh, you've gotta be kidding me!
