The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1236 D*mn Them

“Not really.”

“That’s not true. Mr. Ian, if not for your cleverly designed defense system, we wouldn’t have been able

to stop those animals from breaking in. I shudder to think what would have happened if they

succeeded.”

The moment Xayden heard Ian’s denial, he quickly recounted the entire incident.

After all, that was the truth.

Back then, the nation was in chaos. With Sebastian bogged down by trouble, he was unable to provide

them with any help.

Therefore, they had to be responsible for their own safety. Hence, Ian, together with his brother, used

their insane hacking skills to set up a defensive system within the villa.

Even if Xayden were armed with all the weapons in the world, he alone wouldn’t have been able to

protect them.

Blushing all over, Ian sat obediently in Sebastian’s arms without a word.

In response, Sebastian was seized by guilt.

All these years, he felt bad that his children had to be constantly on the run due to his messy affairs.

Their lives were so unsettled that they didn’t even have the chance to go to school.

And now, they had to resort to protecting themselves.

Feeling the burn in his eyes, it took Sebastian a while to regain his composure before carrying his son

up.

“All right now, time for bed. I’m tired too. Why don’t we sleep together tonight?”

“Sure!”

Sebastian was surprised that such a simple phrase was able to cause Ian to raise his head with a

sparkle in his eyes.

That was also the first time Ian felt ecstatic.

After that, Sebastian carried him upstairs.

When he opened the door to the children’s room, the other two children were sound asleep and totally

unaware that their dad had returned home.

Sebastian’s smile widened at the sight.

After adjusting their covers for them, he led Ian to another room.

“Daddy, why didn’t Mommy come over?” Ian couldn’t help but ask after Sebastian had tucked him in.

Sebastian froze the moment he heard the question.

Mommy?

After a brief struggle within himself, Sebastian decided to speak frankly.

“Mommy can’t come over for the time being. However, I promise you that I will bring her here as soon

as I can. By that time, the five of us will stay here and no longer move. How about that?”

Stumped, Ian curled into his blanket with reddened eyes.

Given how smart he was, he had noticed something was amiss. If Sebastian returned to pick them up,

he wouldn’t have come alone. Certainly not in the middle of the night without even giving them a call.

Therefore, Ian had mentally prepared himself.

However, when he realized that his mom was in trouble, he couldn’t help but feel worried and

disheartened.

Despite being a devastated nine-year-old, Ian had no choice but to hold back his tears and requested,

“In that case, you have to bring her back.”

Sebastian promised, “I definitely will. Therefore, you have to look after Matt and Vivi while I’m gone, all

right?”

Ian nodded. “Mmm-hmm.”

At the end of the day, he stepped up to his responsibilities as the eldest and promised his dad.

The next day…

When Matteo and Vivian woke up to the sight of Sebastian, they were filled with delight. Without any

hesitation, both of them rushed into his embrace.

Elated by their response, Sebastian spent the entire day with them.

Hence, he waited until they had gone to bed at night before finally leaving.

“Mr. Hayes, where do you plan to search for Mrs. Hayes? I heard that old fox can be anywhere. Given

how big the country is, where are you even going to start?” Xayden asked in concern just when

Sebastian was about to leave.

His question had hit the nail on the head. Given how big their country was, it was like searching for a

needle in a haystack.

However, much to his surprise, Sebastian wasn’t bothered by the issue at all.

“There’s no need to look for him at all. He’s nothing but a b*stard that can be easily ferreted out,” he

sneered vulgarly.

It was very much unlike the dignified and aloof image of a company president.

Xayden broke out in a cold sweat.

This is infuriating! How dare those b*stards make my boss lose his composure. The next time I have

them in my hands, I’ll poison and cripple them. After that, I’ll stuff them with explosives and blow them

up to kingdom come.

With that, Sebastian left Miralaea.

Two days later, there was news about Eddie, who was being hunted by the authorities domestically.

When he was sighted in Smallpoint, the police sent men there to investigate at once.

Among them was the Jadeson family that had just recovered.

When Sabrina saw Devin about to leave in his full gear, she quickly caught up to him.

“Did you really manage to find him? Isn’t it too quick? In that case… is she all right?”

“One of the teams I sent out reported this to me, so it’s likely accurate. Don’t worry. Once I reach there,

I’ll keep you posted.”

After reassuring her, Devin put on his military cap and headed off.

“My God, Devin! I just heard that old scumbag had been found. Huh, you… you’re already leaving?”

Suddenly, a man rambled aloud as he slipped in from outside. The moment he saw Devin all geared up

to go, his eyes widened in surprise.

It was Edmund that had just arrived.
