The Love that Never Really Dies

Sasha subconsciously held her breath and immediately averted her gaze. “Come here, Ian.” Sebastian’s eyes did not immediately find Sasha when she came in. Instead, he asked his son to come over first, indicating that he would settle the scores with her later. Ian furrowed his brows and walked toward his father. “Where did you go today?” “Nowhere,” Ian answered indifferently. Sasha let out a long sigh of relief. Oh, thank God he didn’t say that we went to the amusement park. Otherwise, it would only make that man angrier.

Besides, since she was a doctor, she had considered things from all aspects and allowed him to go only after she was certain that no harm would befall him. Luckily, Sebastian found nothing wrong with him after checking his son from top to bottom.
