Meanwhile, at the Hayes Residence, Sasha was incredibly scared and anxious as she waited for an
update on the situation.
This was mainly due to her being partly responsible for Frieda’s death.
Had she told Sebastian that he was Shin’s son, he might have been able to take the necessary
precautions to protect his mom.
Instead, she was so focused on keeping him safe that she neglected that fact, and her mistake cost
Frieda her life.
As such, she felt relieved when Rufus called and told her that he had successfully convinced Sebastian
to go home and happily ran downstairs to wait for him.
However, that feeling of relief did not last as Sebastian never showed up at the door.
Where is he? Didn’t Dad say he was coming home?
Feeling uneasy at the thought of that, Sasha grabbed her phone and punched in Sebastian’s number.
However, she didn’t have the courage to follow through and ended up calling his bodyguard Karl instead.
“Hello, Mr. Frost. Um… My dad told me Sebastian has left the hospital. Has he gone home?”
“No, he headed over to Frontier Bay,” Karl said, unsure of how he should word his reply as he didn’t
expect for it to happen either.
He assumed his boss would go straight home after leaving the hospital, but Sebastian had him drive
straight to Royal Court One instead.
The silence that followed hit Sasha like a sledgehammer and sent her heart all the way to rock bottom
once again.
Why would he go to Frontier Bay? We don’t live there anymore, and that place is practically empty now!
With that in mind, her hand that was holding the phone fell weakly to her side.
Having stood behind Sasha for quite some time, Sabrina saw how dejected she looked and asked,
“What’s wrong? Is he not back yet?”
Sasha shook her head and forced a smile on her face as she tried her best to explain, “He’s probably still
busy taking care of stuff after his mom’s death.”
Naturally, Sabrina wasn’t buying it and questioned her, “How is that possible? I bet he’s not coming home
on purpose! Could it be that he’s mad at your dad for bringing Frieda out and is taking his anger out on
you?”
Sasha went pale upon hearing that as she didn’t want to believe it, but the stuff that Sebastian yelled at
her in the ward earlier combined with his actions at the time made it clear that he was overcome with
grief.
Having tossed and turned the entire night, Sasha got up very early the next day and planned to head
over to Frontier Bay after breakfast with the kids.
Oblivious to the fact that Frieda was gone, Vivian asked with an innocent look in her eyes, “Why isn’t
Daddy home yet, Mommy? Is he still taking care of Grandma?”
Noticing that Sasha was struggling to find the right words, Matteo quickly answered that question for her,
“Of course! Daddy’s really busy, so we should behave ourselves at home and not disturb him.”
With that, Vivian stopped asking any further questions.
Ian had kept quiet the whole time, but he was the one among the three who knew most about what
happened throughout the past few days.
He waited until Sasha had left the house before dragging Matteo into the room. “We need to go see
Daddy.”
“Huh?” Matteo was confused. “Why? Isn’t Daddy busy taking care of things after Grandma’s death right
now? Why would we go see him?”
As Ian was bad with words, he didn’t know how to explain it to Matteo and decided to whip out his tablet
instead.
Having gotten used to his brother’s behavior, Matteo sat down beside him and watched him operate the
tablet instead of walking away.
A few minutes later, the two of them saw a red dot heading toward Frontier Bay on the screen.
The villa’s location near the ocean made it extremely cold on winter mornings, and Sasha shivered when
a cold gust of wind hit her upon exiting the car.
She then zipped up her coat before making her way toward Royal Court One.
“May I know who you’re looking for?”
“I’m the owner of Royal Court One, but I’ve forgotten my access card.”
Sasha lied to the security guard as she was in a hurry to enter.
The security guard then had her do a facial recognition scan at the gate, which opened with a loud click
seconds later, much to her surprise.
Did it open? How is that possible? I’ve never had my appearance recorded here before, and Sebastian
had already moved out before we made up! That’s why I’ve been staying either at my family home or the
Hayes Residence ever since! But, now…
Lost in her thoughts, Sasha stood there staring blankly into space until the security guard urged her to
move as another car had pulled up.
She then quickly entered the residential area with a sense of warmth and joy in her heart.
