“Let me go.”
“No!” Sasha had no intention of letting go. Instead, she tightened her hold on his arm and gazed at him pitifully. “Did you come for me, Mr. Hayes?”
“No!”
Sebastian was irritated that she brought that up. I would have to be crazy to come here for you. I’m just here for Vivian.
Sasha didn’t believe him. She kept staring at him, and then she laughed. “I know you’re here for me, Mr. Hayes. The guy you saw earlier isn’t related to me at all. He just helped me out during the car crash and called the doctor for me. That’s all.”
“And what’s that got to do with me?”
“Of course, I know it has nothing to do with you, but I do feel the need to explain myself. Wouldn’t want you to think of me as a slut now, do I?” Sasha cocked her head, grinning at him.
She knew Sebastian was a proud man with a huge ego. He had been that way for as long as she remembered, so she knew he never meant what he said. After getting the confirmation that Sebastian came to the hospital to see her, she felt delighted.
At the same time, Sebastian didn’t look so angry anymore, perhaps because Sasha had explained her relationship with Solomon, or perhaps because he heard that she got into a car crash.
“So what even if you’re a slut? What does that have to do with me?”
“Of course, it doesn’t have anything to do with you. So, have you calmed down now, Mr. Hayes? Can you take me home now? I just got discharged, and I need a ride,” Sasha took one step further by making that request.
She made that decision on the spot. Sasha never thought he would come all the way to Jetroina for her, but now that she finally ran into him, she had decided that she wouldn’t let him go no matter what.
But alas, Sebastian didn’t give her any answer. In fact, after hearing that request, his face fell, and he glared at her haughtily.
Oh god. Don’t tell me he’s gonna tell me off. Not after I just made up my mind to go with him.
Sasha’s heart sank. When she looked up at him again, her lips had paled. “Mr. Hayes—”
“Honestly, it’s a miracle your daughter got this far with a mother like you.”
“Huh?” Sasha stared at him in disbelief. My daughter? I don’t have a… Oh, wait, Vivi! She’s not here!
Sasha finally remembered that she had a daughter, and she let Sebastian go. “I’m sorry. This is my fault. I’ll go get her now, so can you wait for me?”
She was in a hurry to get her daughter, but she was worried Sebastian might leave without her, so she pleaded for him to stay.
Sebastian looked at her coldly.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Sasha thought to herself, Oh, forget about it. I should pick up Vivi first.
In the end, she went back to collect her daughter. A few minutes later, she came back to see Vivian helping Solomon pack her stuff up. She couldn’t believe she actually left her daughter behind just to catch up to Sebastian.
“Sorry, Solomon. I was just—”
“It’s fine. How did it go? Is he waiting for you?” Solomon could understand how Sasha felt, so he didn’t blame her. In fact, he asked Sasha if everything went well.
Sasha lowered her gaze in response.
Seeing that, Solomon said nothing, but he knew the gist of it. He felt saddened, but he hid it deep within him and urged, “You should take Vivian with you right now. Don’t want him to get impatient now.”
“Sure. Thanks, Solomon.” Sasha scooped Vivian up and ran to the exit as fast as she could.
Much to her delight, the Cayenne was still there when she came back out with Vivian, though Sebastian had gotten into the car.
At the same time, Vivian whispered, “Mommy, Daddy came here to see you, you know.”
Sasha was excited to hear that. “Really? And how do you know that?”
“Because I kept nagging to see you. Grandpa was going to ask someone to come with me, but Daddy said no and took me here himself,” Vivian explained the events briefly.
The whole trip to Jetroina was her idea. After her brothers told her about Sasha’s full recovery, she came up with this idea so that Sebastian would take her to Jetroina himself. She wanted them to get reunited, and she got her wish fulfilled.
I’m such a genius, Vivian thought to herself.
However, Sasha’s excitement died down after hearing that explanation. So, he isn’t here because he wants to. He’s just fulfilling Vivi’s request.
Sasha tried her best not to think too much about it, but the news still doused her delight a bit. At the very least, the romantic aspect of the visit was thrown out the window.
