The Adult World
Solomon was rendered speechless.
For some inexplicable reason, he suddenly felt bad for Ichika. Squeezing his hands, he changed his
tune. “Just place it here, I’ll eat it once I’m done with my work.”
“Sure.”
Just like a child, she was on the verge of tears when he rejected her.
However, the moment he allowed her to put it there, she was as happy as a lark.
Her carefree attitude amused him.
Afterward, Solomon threw himself back into work.
When he finished reading his emails, he lifted his head to glance around. Only then did he realize she
had not left but stayed right next to the coffee table.
Nevertheless, she had dozed off on the couch. Her flawless face looked pinkish. Holding a pillow, she
seemed to be having a good dream that she drooled in her slumber.
The corner of Solomon’s eyes twitched.
In the end, he decided to carry Ichika to her bedroom.
However, as soon as he picked her up, the delicate woman squirmed in his arms before mumbling,
“Darling…”
Meanwhile, Sasha decided to depart the next morning itself.
The three children had gotten ready and dressed themselves up, waiting for their parents to come over.
“Does this mean we are going to school together with Ian?”
Vivian was thrilled by the idea because she could finally be with her brothers again.
Matteo was delighted as well.
However, after studying here for over half a year, he felt reluctant to leave his schoolmates and be
transferred to another school.
“Mommy, I’m calling my friends now. They said they would come to send me off today.”
“What?”
Sasha never knew that her son was a social butterfly. This discovery piqued her curiosity at once.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her brother’s words, Vivian followed suit and contacted her best friend,
Jessica, too. Never had Sasha thought that her two little kids would do this right before they departed.
In the end, when everything was packed, and the family was ready to set off, they saw many children in
front of the villa.
“Matteo! Open the door! We’re here to see you.”
“Yeah, Vivi, we’re here too. We’ve even brought you many gifts. Open the door now!”
“Hurry up!”
A dozen of children were hollering outside. It was quite a sight.
As a result, Sebastian and Sasha had no choice but to hold off whatever they were doing then and let
their daughter and son usher their friends in for a spontaneous farewell party.
“Sebby, are you impressed that these two have so many friends?”
“Yeah.”
With his eyes fixed on those children in the garden, Sebastian did not refute her words.
Sasha was all puffed up because of their agreements.
Right then, Vivian suddenly dashed toward them with red-rimmed eyes.
“Mommy, can I stay? I really like my buddies here. There is no school on that island. Just like in
Miralaea, we will have no classmates and will be taught by the teacher only. I don’t like that.”
Sasha was stupefied that her daughter wanted to change her mind.
Oh no, she doesn’t want to go. What should I do now? We have to be there to take care of Ian.
Hearing that, Sebastian’s brows knitted together.
Soon, a group of Vivian’s humbly dressed friends came in after her. Their eyes misted over when they
saw Vivian break down in tears.
“Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, can’t you let Vivian stay? We really like her.”
“Yes, we’ve promised one another we are going to become designers and make many beautiful
dresses and jewelry. We’ve been working hard toward our goal.”
“Exactly! Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, please let Vivian stay,” the little girls pleaded sincerely.
This put Sasha and Sebastian in a tight spot.
In fact, Vivian was right. The research institute that they were heading to was indeed on an island. As
for the two children, they were going to study together with the people at the research institute, just like
how they did in Miralaea.
This way, the couple would not need to worry about their children’s results, but the little ones would
miss out on so much fun in their childhood.
As children, they were certainly fun lovers. Besides, good interpersonal relationships were beneficial to
their development.
Sebastian was hesitant as well.
“No problem. I think you guys should just let her stay here. There’s nothing to worry about since I’ll be
here to take care of her.”
At that critical moment, Sasha’s father, Rufus, came over. When he saw his granddaughter getting so
upset, his heart ached for her, so he immediately took up the responsibility of taking care of her.
Since her father would look after Vivian, Sasha was relieved.
Therefore, they decided to allow Vivian to stay back.
Her mother’s approval thrilled her. Over the moon, Vivian skipped away to tell her brothers the good
news.
Knowing that his sister was staying back, Matteo wanted to do the same.
“Ian, I’ll stay here to look after Vivi. You should follow Daddy and Mommy to the island. Study hard,
okay? I’ll visit you then.”
He patted his brother’s shoulder to comfort him.
Although Ian felt slightly disappointed, the mature boy loved his sister very much, so he did not blame
her.
