The Love that Never Really Dies

“As for my mother…” Sebastian paused and stared ahead of him halfway through his speech.

Wendy turned around and saw Frieda, whom she had tucked in bed, had made her way downstairs again.

Frieda was hiding behind the stairs, staring at the conversing duo as if she was afraid of approaching them. She would tilt her head to take a peek at the duo from time to time.

Wendy thought she shouldn’t have left her unattended. Immediately, she apologized, “I’m so sorry, Mr. Hayes. I have tucked her up in bed since quite some time ago, but she might have been roused from her sleep again.”

She was about to approach Frieda and show her the way back to her room, but Sebastian stopped Wendy and beckoned the woman behind the stairs to join them.

Frieda’s eyes widened in disbelief and thought she had been seeing things.

Is he asking me to join him? Is he no longer mad at me? Is he finally talking to me?

Thrilled, Frieda bounced her way over in a joyful manner. She had finally gotten used to walking after spending a few days with her grandchildren.

Immediately after she reached her son’s side, she showed him the things she had with her for quite some time. “Shin, candy…!”

Seconds after he took over the candy his mother had with her, he explained, “I’m not the man you’re looking for. Actually, I’m your son.”
