Something Is Brewing
Sabrina messaged: Seriously? Sasha, tell him to come over. I want to see him so badly.
Sasha replied: Sure thing. I’ll tell him that when he’s back.
Mr. Wand texted: Oh, that’s wonderful! I should pay my grandson a visit soon.
Old Mr. Jadeson responded: Come and celebrate new year’s eve here. All are welcome.
Jonathan appeared suddenly in the chat group and made everyone laugh with his proposal.
Sasha’s eyes glowed upon seeing the message.
Then, Sasha replied: Oh, we celebrated the new year at Hayes Residence last year. So, let’s gather in
Jadeborough this year. Dad, you can bring Lennie. @Solomon, please bring Ichika along.
Without hesitation, Sasha made it a formal invitation to all.
Mr. Wand simply messaged: Hmm…
Devin responded: Great idea! Sabrina is due around the same time. So, you guys can see the baby
when you come over.
Sabrina messaged: Deliver on new year’s eve? No way! I want it out after the new year!
Even though they were chatting virtually, everyone else could imagine how exasperated the man was.
Nonetheless, everyone was looking forward to the upcoming meet-up. Solomon was at the office when
he read the text. When he got home and saw his pregnant wife, he sought her opinion right away.
“Of course! It’s going to be fun. I really want to go, Darling,” she expressed her desire eagerly, to which
Solomon agreed to spend the new year in Jadeborough.
Sasha started making preparations days ahead. She could not wait to have a jolly great time with her
loved ones.
As for Ian, he had been keeping himself occupied ever since the day he came home with a box of
marker pens. He would either go out for a walk or spend time at his friend’s house.
Sometimes, his friend would visit Oceanic Estate too.
Sasha found out that his friend was actually Duncan.
“Ian, why did you gift him a box of marker pens? Is he still drawing?”
Sasha pulled her son aside and asked when she saw the innocent boy visiting their home again.
I recall him being a chemistry genius. Why does he need so many markers?
Upon hearing the question, Ian whipped out a realistic-looking comic from his desk.
“What do you think, Mommy?”
“Whoa!” Sasha was stunned at how magnificent the drawing was.
“It’s terrific! Did he draw this?”
“Yes. He loves drawing, but his family can’t afford the materials. I know that he really wants a box of
marker pens, so I gave it to him as a present. He’s brilliant, Mommy.”
The last line beautifully captured Ian’s adoration toward Duncan’s capabilities.
It was not easy for someone so intelligent as Ian, who was already the cream of the crop, to find a
person he would recognize as a friend. The reason would only be that the person was related to him or
the person wowed him with an innate talent.
Sasha could not help but give Duncan a once-over.
She was really curious about his family background, considering that his son was so impressed with the
boy.
Then, she left them alone, not wanting to disturb.
Soon, Matteo and Vivian came home as well.
Matteo attended the military academy, so Devin brought him back as soon as the holidays began. As for
Vivian, Sasha went to the airport and fetched her personally.
“Mommy!”
The little girl, who had also grown taller, cast her suitcase aside and threw herself into her mother’s arms
the moment she saw her at the airport.
The boy who landed with her was left behind. Slowly, he carried the suitcases with both hands and
approached the duo.
“Mrs. Hayes.”
Right then, Sasha released her daughter, and their gazes met.
After addressing her timidly, the boy lowered his gaze. His lashes were so long and thick like a fan.
“You must be tired. Come, let’s get the car,” Sasha urged.
“Okay!” Vivian flashed a grin.
Sasha thought that her beloved daughter would glue herself to her the entire time.
Unexpectedly, the girl turned around, wrapped her arms around Kurt’s, and hopped around like a bunny
as they left for the parking lot.
Sasha was rendered speechless.
This heartless girl. Does she not want her mommy dearest anymore?
Feeling amused, she tagged along and trailed behind the duo.
It was super lively at Oceanic Estate when all the children were back at once. In addition, Matteo and
Vivian were the active ones and gave Sasha lots of headaches.
“Vivi, can you and Matteo go play somewhere else? I need to tally the accounts.”
“All right, Mommy,” she complied.
However, the two were frolicking around and returned to the same spot in a flash. This girl and her
brother can’t be tamed, can they?
Sasha was almost driven crazy by the kids.
“Vivi, have you completed your artwork? The due date is tomorrow.”
Suddenly, an indifferent male voice rang out and interrupted the children’s boisterous laughter.
