They didnât get the answer they wanted, but they were still delighted to see their daddy in one piece.
After all, they could cross that bridge when they come to it later.
Sebastian and the kids went to grab something to eat. After that, he spent the whole afternoon with
them.
In the evening, Sebastian got ready to leave.
âIâll go pick up Mommy now. Ms. Dolivo will arrive soon. Be good, alright?â
âYes, Daddy!â the three of them agreed obediently.
Daddy is going to bring Mommy back home. Great! We wonât have to worry about her anymore.
The kids were delighted to be reunited with their mommy again. Sebastian thought he could bring her
back home, too.
Alas, when he went to Hayes Corporation, the woman he wanted to see wasnât there. Instead,
Solomon was sitting there blankly.
âKill me if you want. I failed to locate her,â he said nonchalantly.
âYour wish shall be granted!â Sebastian barked and cocked his gun to kill him.
Luckily, Karl was there to stop him.
âMr. Hayes, calm down. Even if you kill him, we wonât be able to find Madam.â
âNonsense! He is involved in this matter. Once I kill him, the people working for him will release Sasha!â
Sebastian declared, his eyes flashing murderous glint.
Solomonâs face paled.
Still, he didnât utter a word or admit to anything.
In the end, Karl successfully stopped his furious boss and dragged him out.
âMr. Hayes, we canât kill him now if we want to locate Madam. We need to keep an eye on him. Didnât
you see his reaction? He seems really helpless,â said Karl after they both entered the car.
He was careful enough to notice Solomonâs subtle expression change.
Back there, Sebastian was raging and didnât think about observing Solomonâs reaction.
Slowly, he calmed down.
âItâs Sinch Enterprise.â
âYes, weâre sure sheâs there. Still, Xenhall is too huge a place. It isnât easy for us to find her.â
âIâll head there myself!â Sebastian announced, fury flaring within his reddened eyes. It was a terrifying
sight.
Heâs going to go on a killing spree in Jetroina. Karlâs fists balled up.
Yet, he said nothing and arranged for a helicopter to bring Sebastian to Jetroina.
That night, Sebastian left Avenport.
The kids waited for a long time, but neither their daddy nor mommy came home.
âKids, letâs go to bed. Your daddy and mommy might be a little late. Weâll see them tomorrow!â Wendy
persuaded as they kept waiting earnestly for Sebastian and Sashaâs return.
When Vivian heard she could see her parents tomorrow morning, she trotted away to go to bed.
Both Ian and Matteo remained.
âDaddy lied to us, right?â
âI donât think so,â replied Ian after he took one look at his brother, who was close to tears. âDaddy
mustâve gone to pick Mommy up and ran into trouble.â
âReally?â Matteo sniffled.
âYes. He wonât leave us alone at home. Matt, I think we need to go to Roxanne tomorrow,â Ian
suggested without warning.
Matteo stared at him in confusion. âWhy? Didnât you see how she tried to harm Daddy today? Why do
we need to go to her tomorrow?â
âI heard her saying, âShe wonât come back.â when she gave Daddy his injection.â
âIs she talking about Mommy?â Immediately, the smart Matteo realized what his brother was talking
about.
Ian nodded. âYes. Thatâs why we need to find her. I think she knows where Mommy is.â
The kids were smart enough to figure out the clue from Roxanneâs casual comment.
Matteo agreed without hesitation.
The next morning, after Wendy sent them to their school, the boys sneaked away and ran to Roxanneâs
lab.
They were familiar with the place. Back then, when Matteo was receiving treatment there, they rented a
house right next to the lab.
Matteo headed in with a huge grin. âHello, miss. Is Ms. Rocke here?â
The nurse gasped in surprise upon seeing him. âOh, itâs Matt! Yes, Dr. Rocke is inside,â she told him
warmly.
