Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1738 Pampering The Son In Law

“A door? He actually pieced together a door?” Haruto exclaimed.

The man showed an exceeding astonished expression on the phone.

Indeed, Ian ultimately pieced his puzzle into a door. What was more, it was an exceedingly simple door with just a

rectangular frame. It was bare within.

There was nothing at all, but as Sebastian looked at the picture, he suddenly sensed that the empty space housed a

narrow path with no end in sight.

It was dark and mysterious, making one feel terribly uncomfortable.

“What does this door represent?”

“It’s pretty bad. I once encountered such a person. In the end, he suffered from severe depression,” Haruto

answered honestly.

In actuality, the candid interpretation for a puzzle pieced into a door was that it signified two worlds. One was inside

the door while the other was outside. It was clear as day that Ian, who had been introverted since young, belonged

to the former.

He liked to shut himself up in his own world. If it weren’t for the arrival of his brother and sister later as well as his

mother who loved him, he would have probably closed himself off long ago.

Sasha subsequently exerted tremendous effort before he finally turned out to be a normal child.

Duncan was also a critical point that caused the change in his personality.

After a bit, Sebastian put the pictures away. That night, he gave all three teenagers a reward. Matteo received a

yacht he had long since wanted, equipped with the most advanced equipment.

As for Kurt, Sebastian gifted him a car.

“Now that you’ve recovered, are you planning to stay in Yartran and continue studying here? Vivi will be returning

to the initial Royal Academy. With a car, you don’t have to take the bus anymore if you want to protect her,” he

casually explained with a wine glass in hand when he had someone send the car key over.

All at once, Kurt’s face flushed bright red.

Beside him, Matteo and Ian both looked at him with knowing smiles on their faces.

“Wow, it’s a Maserati! This car is fast enough. It’ll probably only take an hour from Atlantius to Royal Academy,”

Matteo teased.

“It probably won’t take that long. Forty minutes will do,” Ian chimed in.

“Well, all right then. In that case, Kurt, you can set off before Vivi’s class starts. When you arrive at her school, she’ll

have finished her class. The timing is just right,” Matteo commented.

Kurt said nothing.

The urge to crawl into a hole in mortification seized him at their teasing.

Despite his embarrassment, he was still delighted to receive that reward.

After all, that wasn’t just a reward. Instead, it also signified Sebastian’s recognition of him.

Therefore, he accepted it happily.

Next was Ian. Everyone thought that his reward would be even better since he was the most creative among them

when piecing the puzzle together.

A door was a simple thing, and it was surprising to them that he actually pieced a door.

Both Kurt and Matteo perked up their ears.

“What would you like, Ian?”

“Huh?”

Ian, who was awaiting his reward, lifted his head and regarded his father in surprise.

Why is he asking me about the reward he’s giving me? Hasn’t he prepared it beforehand?

Verily, he was rather stunned.

“Anything will do, Daddy.”

“What if I gift you some shares of the Hayes Corporation for you to handle? Would you like that?”

None of them ever thought that Sebastian would give that elder son of his such a huge reward.

Matteo was wholly floored.

Similarly, Kurt was shocked for several seconds, words eluding him.

Meanwhile, Ian gaped at his father blankly, making it evident that he still hadn’t gathered his wits about him.

“Why, Daddy?”

“It’s your Uncle Solomon’s request. Your Aunt Ichika is now pregnant with their second child, so he has to take care

of her. As such, he finds it a bit difficult to juggle things. Besides, he’s rather angry recently because you’ve all

grown up, but I haven’t made a move to arrange for any of you to help him,” Sebastian explained placidly.

That was actually a half-truth.

It went without saying that all he said about Solomon was true. The man indeed had his plate full right then. Not

only did he have a son who was only five years old at home, but Ichika was also pregnant with their second child.

Hence, he naturally couldn’t quite handle everything in the office.

Thus, he had really asked a few times which of the three teenagers would be willing to help him out.

Ultimately, Hayes Corporation didn’t belong to him alone. Sebastian still had shares in the company then. It had

been years on end, yet Sebastian had only been sitting back and enjoying the fruits of his labor without doing

anything. For that reason, he wanted the man to work for it.

After hearing that elucidation, the three teenagers finally understood the entire situation.

The straightforward Matteo immediately agreed, asserting, “This is a great idea! It’s perfect for Ian to go and learn

about managing the company from Uncle Solomon!”

Having zero interest in business, he thought nothing of urging his brother into picking up his slack.

Kurt felt that it was good as well, but on second thought, he raised a question.

“But Mr. Hayes, Ian had been studying at the base and never learned financial management. Will he be able to do it

if he goes over?”

“Therefore, I’m contemplating withdrawing him from the base and having him attend finance school first for some

time.”

With his eyes fixated on Ian, Sebastian announced his decision.
