The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1528 Unshirkable Responsibilities

“It has been… a few days delayed.”

“Really?” the two women surrounding her exclaimed excitedly.

Tears even glistened in Sabrina’s eyes, thinking that the Hayeses finally had an heir.

No doubt she loved the triplets to bits. She was thrilled that the bloodline of her father, Frederick, was

now secured.

This little one will be his true progeny in the future. I bet he can finally rest in peace if he finds out.

“Um… Sab and Sha, please don’t spill the beans to your husbands. I haven’t confirmed yet, so…”

Ichika was taken aback to see how exhilarated the two ladies were. Hence, she quickly reminded them

to keep it a secret.

Obviously, Sasha would not let it slide. She took Ichika’s pulse with utter seriousness right away while

Ichika and Sabrina held their breath in suspense.

Within two minutes, she had her answers.

“Sab…”

“Hmm?”

“Do you want to do the honors and check with Saul about the family tree of the Hayeses? To find out

who should the next baby be named after. You know, it’s good to get this out of the way early.” Sasha

grinned from ear to ear.

Sabrina widened her eyes and was about to explode from excitement.

On the other hand, Ichika was so surprised, her face instantly flushing.

This is absolutely great news!

The cat was let out of the bag later that night. Solomon could not believe it and asked Ichika umpteen

times to confirm.

“Is it true? Nancy took your pulse personally?”

“Yes,” Ichika replied shyly.

She was well pleased at her husband’s ecstatic reaction.

Mom has said before that a woman could tell how much her husband loves her from his expression

when he learns about the pregnancy.

Feeling elated, she slept soundly that night.

Ironically, Solomon could not fall asleep. He did not dare to toss and turn on the bed as he was afraid

of crushing Ichika.

In the end, he decided to get up and head outside for a puff.

Surprisingly, he was not the only one who stayed up late. There was another figure in the hallway

upstairs, seemingly smoking a cigarette.

Sebastian?

The room in which Solomon and his wife were staying now was the one next to Sabrina’s former room,

whereas Sebastian’s family occupied the top floor.

Hence, he guessed that it was him.

Staring at the brightly lit cigarette, Solomon hesitated before deciding to walk upstairs.

Indeed, it’s him.

He saw Sebastian standing there alone, working on something on his smartphone. From the refraction

of the dimmed screen light, Solomon noticed that Sebastian was furrowing his brows.

“What are you up to?” Solomon approached him.

Upon hearing that, Sebastian turned and was astonished to see Solomon there.

“I was attending to a matter. Why aren’t you in bed yet?” He swiftly switched off his phone, not wanting

Solomon to see what he was doing.

Solomon got the hint and did not query him further.

“Well, I’m not used to changes,” he blurted honestly.

Nowadays, Solomon would speak his mind in front of Sebastian.

However, the latter did not understand what he was referring to.

He could not empathize with Solomon because Sasha lost her baby at a very early stage of her

pregnancy due to poor health.

Therefore, he could not understand what Solomon was feeling simply because he had never gone

through the same experience.

“What changes? The bed?”

“No…” Solomon felt somewhat awkward, so he gazed at the scenery and changed the subject

immediately.

“By the way, what do you think about Old Mr. Jadeson’s idea of living in the mountain? Are you

agreeable to it?”

“Whatever!” Sebastian snapped.

Solomon found it amusing as he tried to process Sebastian’s answer.

Based on how much and how well I know about him, his laconic reply is actually a yes. What a guy! He

seems cold and hostile outside, but he’s, in fact, a softy who’s more gentle and considerate than

anyone else.

Thinking about his own affairs, Solomon felt a fuzzy feeling creeping up from within.

“Well, if Old Mr. Jadeson goes to the mountain, everything related to Oceanic Estate will fall on your

shoulders. What’s your plan?”

“I’m not interested in those things at all.”

“I know. Regardless of your interest level, some matters are inevitable. I heard that many tried to

squeeze their way in to see Old Mr. Jadeson since the night he was hospitalized. I’m sure Oceanic

Estate has rejected many requests tonight, too, right?” Solomon cut to the chase and addressed the

elephant in the room.

Though Jonathan had retired and washed his hands off politics, the Jadesons still held a formidable

presence in the country because of its enormous contributions made in the past.

That was why many still sought their advice and orders even though none of them held any position at

the White House.

With Old Mr. Jadeson leaving for Aquene Temple, it goes unsaid that the unshirkable responsibility will

fall on Sebastian. Is he thinking of pushing it to others? That will never ever happen. I guess he was

dealing with this issue on the phone just now. This is probably the only reason why he is reluctant to let

Old Mr. Jadeson go to the temple.

Sebastian did not utter a single word, but he smoked a lot that night.
