“Ian, why didn’t you answer my question? Why did you come down when I clearly told you to stay upstairs? You’ve been getting more disobedient lately!”

When Sebastian found out Matteo had sneaked out of the lounge, he cut his meeting short and came right over to give his son a good scolding.

Mateo felt wronged in all ways, but he could not say anything. He desperately wanted to say he was not the son Sebastian was looking for. However, there was nothing he could do. He totally did not expect Ian to go down.

He sat on the couch and rested his face on his palms, exasperated.

“Could you please give me some peace, Daddy? I’m so frustrated right now. I just want to have some freedom! I’m already five. You can’t keep me indoors my whole life!”

“What did you say?”

 

Sebastian sat up straight when he heard what Matteo said.

To him, Ian was a quiet kid. He was never a child that talked much, neither would he tell others about his feelings. Ian had always been a withdrawn child. Even when he was angry, he would just lock himself in his room.

 

Sebastian was befuddled when he heard Ian said he was frustrated from the lack of freedom, and that he wanted to go out and play?
