Chapter 1524 Not Addressing His Son Properly

Sasha’s mood couldn’t help but improve especially when she saw the fruit-laden trees on both sides of the road on

their drive up the hill.

In fact, she was so delighted that she got Sebastian to stop so that she could pick some of them.

“Evidently, Grandpa is right in telling us to come here.”

Holding a large and juicy pear, she took a bite to taste the sweet nectar of the fruit before handing it over to

Sebastian.

However, Sebastian refused to take it and wanted her to feed him instead.

“I’m driving and don’t have time for it. One bite is enough for me.”

Speechless, Sasha had no choice but to give him her pear reluctantly.

Meanwhile, when Sebastian sensed how happy Sasha was, his mood improved accordingly. By the time they

reached the entrance of the temple, he felt entirely at ease.

“Mr. Hayes, I would like to welcome the both of you.”

“Right. Where’s your master? We’re here to have tea with him.”

When Sasha saw the junior monk, she politely requested to see Shin instead of admitting that she was there for the

pears.

Otherwise, she would either be laughed at by Sebastian or Shin, given how lame her excuse was.

A short while after the junior monk disappeared, a monk in a grey robe emerged with an air of loftiness around

him. Amidst the fragrant incense, a peal of delightful laughter rang out.

“Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, it’s been a while. Please come in and have a seat.”

Sebastian remained silent as Sasha replied, “Thank you, Master.”

After that, Sasha dragged Sebastian alongside her as they entered together.

It was understandable why Sebastian was angry. Despite them being father and son, Shin addressed Sebastian as

Mr. Hayes. Anyone in the same position as him would be equally outraged.

In spite of that, Devin was exceptionally thick-skinned. In the face of Sebastian’s gloomy expression, Shin laughed

heartily like a carefree child instead of being angry.

“Master, has the temple been busy recently?”

“It’s all right. Since autumn is upon us, we are harvesting the crops and conducting ceremonies for tourists that

visit. So, we’re not really that busy.”

After that, Shin led them to a pavilion where he brewed them some tea from leaves that were just harvested in

spring.

In response, Sasha snuck a glance at the silent Sebastian and decided to give both of them some space. Hence, she

made an excuse about visiting the temple’s pharmacy and left them alone.

Consequently, both Shin and Sebastian sat together in awkward silence.

It was made worse by the fact that Sebastian was never one for words.

Letting out a sigh, Shin finally broke the ice. “How have you been? Is your body holding up?”

With a teacup in his hand, Sebastian snorted, “I don’t die that easily.”

Shin was stumped.

I guess I’ll have to bear with it since I’m the one that owes him.

After drinking two cups, Shin handed over a key that was made of pure bronze.

“I heard that you are having trouble with the product that Eddie created. This is the key to his laboratory back then.

Do you want to take a look?”

Finally, Sebastian stopped drinking his tea and looked up in earnest.

Is this the real reason why he invited me here?

After staring at the key for a while, he put down his teacup and took the key.

Shin simply added, “Nevertheless, you have to be careful due to the strong radiation inside. I have gotten my men

to prepare a suit for you outside. Once you put it on, you’ll be able to go in.”

At that moment, Sebastian raised his brow when he finally felt Shin’s concern.

Just when he wanted to leave with the key right away, Sebastian pondered a moment and asked, “Since you are

unable to cut your ties with the mundane world, why do you insist on staying here?”

Shin was caught by surprise.

“I…”

Suddenly, Sebastian began mumbling to himself. “Forget it. Perhaps, this is the best place for you, as it puts my

mind at ease. No matter how peaceful it is, the conflict will always be inevitable as long as a Jadeson sits at Oceanic

Estate. Although Grandpa is getting close to ninety, he still has to play politics with those people.”

With furrowed brows, Sebastian’s expression was tinged with resentment and frustration.

Given that the responsibility had fallen on his shoulders, he had no choice but to shoulder it despite how reluctant

he was.

Holding the key in his hand, he proceeded to the basement.

As for Shin, he remained at the pavilion, lost in his own thoughts. It wasn’t until he felt his eyes moisten that he

finished his tea with a smile.

When Sasha returned from the pharmacy, she was told that Sebastian had gone to Felicity’s old lab. The news

caused her to be filled with concern.

“Master, is that place dangerous? The nuclear waves from Felicity’s experiments contained very strong amounts of

radiation.”

“Don’t worry. I have prepared a radiation suit for him and informed him of the time limit. As long as he doesn’t stay

too long, he will be fine,” Shin reassured her.

Despite his words, Shin would every now and then check the pocket watch hanging off his robes.
