Let Us Go And Take A Look

Brandon stilled, like a deer caught in headlights. Sebastian’s words were like a slap to him, and his

face went crimson, then paled.

“It’s my fault, Sebastian. I overslept this morning.”

Ha… overslept.

Sebastian barked a sardonic laugh at his response, his mood already soured before his day had barely

begun.

What hope does this family have?

This is the first day of the year, and they have messed up. The home is a mess, and none of the adults

are stepping up to the plate. There is nothing this bunch of loafing family members could achieve with

such an attitude.

Turning his back, Sebastian said curtly to Sasha, “Let’s go.”

Sasha turned her head to look at Willow, who wore a blank expression and went forward to seize her

hand. “Follow me home, Willow.”

Willow’s gaze flew to the man standing at the stairs, and she started to struggle out of Sasha’s grip. “N-

No… I’m not going. It’s New Year’s Day, Nancy. I think it’s best if I stayed here.”

“But…” Sasha almost choked in indignation at her response.

Why would she stay? Does she think this cold and unsympathetic family constitutes a real home? Did

she hit her head on something? Doesn’t she realize the Emmanuels are mistreating her?

The blunt words slipped out of Sasha in a spark of agitation. “Willow, do you have to stoop so low? It’s

dangerous for you to stay here. You’re jeopardizing the baby’s health.”

All color leached out of Willow’s face in an instant.

Stooping so low? Yeah, I guess I am demeaning myself.

Willow stood frozen without moving a muscle like a statue until Sebastian pulled her so-called best

friend away and out of the house.

With Sebastian gone, Lyla promptly returned to her old self and spat venomously, “It is all your fault for

ruining our morning, you b*tch!”

Her husband snorted coldly in agreement.

Willow’s fingers tightened further into a fist.

“Enough! Everybody, get out of my house!” Brandon roared from the landing. The feast he had put so

much effort into was botched by his family, and anger finally took over, leading him to kick everyone

out.

Willow’s head snapped up, and a ray of hope glimmered faintly in her eyes as she stared at him.

On their way to Hillside Villa, Sasha was fuming in anger over the incident with Willow. However, under

the layer of anger was heartache and worry for her friend.

“Judging by the look of things now, I’m sure things would worsen after she gives birth to her baby. The

Emmanuels are all pain in the ass! Brandon is ostentatious with no real substance. He’s almost thirty,

for God’s sake, and he’s acting like a thirteen-year-old. What will happen to her in the future?”

She repeated her laments a few times, and Sebastian’s brows furrowed as his fingers gripped the

wheel.

“There’s no point in worrying. She’s stubborn and wouldn’t give up easily. She will never heed your

words.”

“But-”

“Well, she’s a part of the Emmanuel family now, and you’re only a stone’s throw away from her. You

could always visit her anytime you want,” Sebastian assured her.

He would never give Willow, that foolish chit, a second thought if he were the man he used to be.

You reap what you sow!

Sasha blew out a relieved breath at his reassuring words. When they arrived at Hillside Villa, she

informed Solomon not to head to the Emmanuel residence.

“What happened?” came his stunned reply.

Sasha ranted, disgruntled, “I don’t even want to talk about it. Willow is getting on my nerves. She’s

seven months pregnant, but she was laboring in the kitchen like a servant. I asked her to come home

with me, but she refused.”

Her anger toward Willow renewed itself at his question.

Willow was their friend whom they had met in Clear.

Furthermore, when Solomon fell ill, Willow was the only one whom he allowed to take care of him.

Hence, Sasha felt it was more suitable to discuss this predicament with him.

As expected, his eyes clouded, and his brows furrowed upon hearing her answer.

“She’s too headstrong. I’ve warned her about this before, and still, she ended up in this situation.”

“She’s a fool!” Sasha growled.

Sasha and Sebastian stayed for a bit at Hillside Villa before having to leave to catch a flight to

Jadeborough in the afternoon.

Before they left, she urged Solomon, “Please keep tabs on Willow. The situation was really bad today.

Besides, she’s pregnant. Once you’re free, could you visit her?”

“Sure, leave it to me,” Solomon promised readily.

Only then did Sasha leave in peace.

Ichika had been keeping her ears open to their conversation. Once the guests left, and she had tidied

up the house, she went to Solomon to clear up her confusion.
