Ms. Green? Who is that? She made honey lemonade for that little bore? Matteo tilted his headcuriously and looked at Berta, and then at his father, who seemed displeased about theunwelcomed guest. “I didn't ask her to come. Send her back,” Sebastian rejected coldly. “But shemade the honey lemonade herself, and she brought it all the way here, Mr. Hayes. You know howbad Ian's cough gets in the winter. Only honey lemonade works for him, so why not just let Ms.Green in?” Berta was trying all she could to persuade Sebastian. The hard look on the latter's facesoftened a little after hearing what she said.It was true that he had a short temper, but in matters related to lan’s health, he would always beextra careful. He knew his son's seasonal cough had long been a bugging problem, so he finallycaved and allowed Berta to let Xandra in. “Hi, Sebastian. Hi, lan. Y'all having lunch?” Xandra greetedthem on her way in. She was wearing an off-white sweater on top of a beige plaid winter skirt.Without any heavy makeup on her face, she looked a little pale and tired. “Are you okay, Ms. Green?You don't look well!” Berta quickly came over and took the bag of honey lemonade from her hands.“I'm fine, Berta. I was down with a little cold two days ago,” Xandra assured her, shaking her head asher gaze wandered towards Sebastian. She was hoping he could look at her, but Sebastianremained unmoved and continued eating. He saw Matteo looking at Xandra and knocked hisknuckles against the table. *Eat, lan.” “Okay.” Matteo picked up his spoon and resumed his meal. Who is this woman? She doesn'tlook like she’s poor though. But why is she dressed like this? It's so cold in the winter! I bet she’s puttingup a front to gain Daddy's sympathy. She's so dramatic! A subtle smile broke across his lips as Matteocontinued eating. Xandra stood on one side with her face downcast when Sebastian ignored her.She drew closer to the dining table and pulled out a pair of wool gloves from her handbag."Remember to take the honey lemonade, lan? I also made you a pair of gloves for the winter. Youwanted me to make you a pair, didn't you? Try it on.” It was a big deal for someone of Xandra'sstanding to make a pair of wool gloves for someone else. Berta came over and checked out thegloves. “These are exquisite, Ms. Green! I can't believe you made them yourselves! This is muchbetter than the ones sold in the stores. Check this out, Mr. Hayes, the handiwork is splendid!” Thehousemaid fondled the gloves and went towards Sebastian, who cocked his head aside and took acursory glance at the gloves. It went without a doubt that they were beautifully made.From the design and the details, Sebastian could tell that Xandra spent a lot of time making them. Itlooked fluffy and comfortable, and the size was just nice. His tense brows relaxed as he retracted hisgaze and continued eating. Xandra came over and picked the gloves up before turning towardsMatteo. “lan, why don't I put them on for you?” “Sure,” Matteo said with a wide smile as he reachedout his hands towards Xandra. These are not mine anyway. I'll just accept them on lan’s behalf. Butjust when Xandra was done putting on the gloves for Matteo, a cry came from outside. Someonehad barged in unannounced. “Sebastian Hayes! I heard Little lan’s back? Is he okay?” Mommy?Matteo swiftly withdrew his hands when he heard Sasha's voice, while Sebastian and Xandra werecaught by surprise. Sebastian rolled his eyes when he realized it was Sasha.As for Xandra, her face contorted in hatred at the sound of that woman. Sasha Wand! Why must youcome now? When Sasha found out from Luke that he almost lost lan in the morning, she freaked outand hurried over to see if everything was okay. But she went berserk when she saw Xandra in thehouse. “Why are you here? Sebastian Hayes! Did you let her in?” Sasha's gleaming glare piercedthrough Xandra the moment she saw that evil woman. She could not believe that after all she haddone to make Sebastian promise to keep that woman away from lan, Xandra was still givenpermission to come near her son. What on earth is going on? Why is she here? Sasha eyed the pairof pink indoor slippers under Xandra's feet, and her frown deepened. Is she having lunch with themright now? Whats that on Ian's hands? Gloves? She's even allowed to touch my son? The scene put astake through her heart and Sasha felt like her heart was going to explode with anger.
