The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) -
Chapter 964
Was there an outcome?
The answer was no.
That was because no one could disobey their parents, no matter how good or how bad they were.After all, the latter was the one who brought them up. Hence, obedience was a way to express one'sfilial toward their parents.
Sasha accompanied Sebastian to Oceanic Estate.
There was still no news from the Woodses two days later. Even since Sebastian's warning at the RedPavilion, the Woodses had been very wary of their actions.
It was also two days later that Jonathan finally found out about Devin’s resignation at the militarybase.
“That b*stard! Is he trying to turn against me now? Did I tell him to resign? Is he trying to get on mynerves? What good would it bring him if I died?”
Jonathan was livid as he smashed everything in his studies. Even the ground could not withstand hisfury.
Mark's face turned pale upon seeing that.
Although Jonathan was disappointed with Devin's qualifications, he had never ill-treated the latter.In fact, the former had spent a lot of his time and effort on Devin.
Seeing how mad Jonathan was, Mark was afraid that something might happen to him. Hence, hequickly came over to comfort him.
“Don’t worry, Old Mr. Jadeson. We've stopped the letter from reaching the higher-ups. The peopleof the military base have found out and quickly warned us about it. What's important now is todismiss Mr. Devin's thought of resigning,” Mark reminded Jonathan.
Jonathan stood in the middle of the mess he had created and leaned against the table to calmhimself down. Still fuming, he ordered, “Go replace that b*astard now!”
"Yes, Old Mr. Jadeson.” Mark let out a sigh of relief. Thereafter, he left Oceanic Estate to search forDevin.
At this moment, Sasha was trimming the flowers in the garden. Just when she was about to take theflowers upstairs to arrange them in a vase, she saw the commotion that happened in the study, andher expression changed.
Devin is resigning his position in the military?
Sasha panicked too upon hearing the news. After seeing Mark leave hurriedly, she quickly threwaway the scissors in her hands. With the flowers left in her grip, she rushed up the stairs.
"Oh no, Darling! Devin is in trouble!”
Sasha ran up hurriedly, shouting even before reaching the bedroom on the third floor.
Under the golden sunray, the man who was flipping through his old notebook in front of thewindow in the bedroom frowned upon hearing Sasha calling for him.
Why isn't Sebastian replying to me?
“Darling?”
Since there was no one answering her, Sasha called out gently with flowers in her hands as shewalked toward Sebastian.
Right then, Sasha looked exactly like their daughter, Vivian.
It was obvious that the blank and sweet look Vivian had was all inherited from Sasha.
Sebastian finally turned his head over as he put down the notebook in his hands. He looked atSasha with his pair of black and charming eyes and asked, “What happened?”
“I heard Mark saying downstairs that Devin is resigning. Darling, what do you think he is trying todo? Why did he resign all of a sudden? Does he not want to be a soldier anymore?”
Sasha went on to recount everything she overheard just now.
She could not fathom Devin’s decision. She felt confused and angry because she understood theimplication of the resignation to the Jadesons and to Devin himself.
However, what surprised Sasha more was that Sebastian was not taken aback by her words.“What's so strange about it? Devin has always been like this.”
“Huh?” Sasha was astonished
Devin has always been like this? Sebastian sounds like he knows Devin very well, to the extent thathe's aware that Devin will resign. However, wasn't he very tense when Devin's parents passed awaya few days ago? Sebastian was constantly grumpy and was not as calm as always when he spokeand worked. Now he’s telling me that Devin has always been this way?
Sasha looked at Sebastian, who looked relaxed despite the frown on his face. At that instant, sheseemed to have understood what Sebastian was implying.
“Okay. Then what should we do now? Are we really letting him resign?”
“Resign? Have our efforts in raising him up all been fed to the dog?” Sebastian said through grittedteeth. Quickly, he changed into a clean set of clothes and headed out.
Sasha was shocked by how ruthless the metaphor Sebastian gave was.
Even so, Sebastian is right. Old Mr. Jadeson has nurtured Devin for so many years. How could Devinjust give up in this manner? Though he may have done it for Sebastian and me, that's still not theright way to do it.
Relief washed over Sasha.
After that, she did not intervene further but took out her phone and sent Sabrina, who was inAvenport, a message.
Sasha: Sab, what are you doing now?
Sabrina: Anything?
Sabrina’s reply was rather instant. It was as if she had been waiting for Sasha's message.
Sasha felt a twinge in her heart, but she quickly pulled herself together and replied to Sabrina.
