Chapter 1989

Sebastian froze for a moment. All's well that ends well?

He only came to his senses when Shin walked him into the temple.

"How about you? Would you be sad if he's gone?"

"Me?" Shin responded with a smile.

He held the rosary and watched the snowflakes descend from the sky calmly. "Of course not. I'm

sure he'll find his place in heaven.”

Sebastian did not know what else to say.

He asked the question merely because he wanted to know what was on Shin's mind.

Filled with disappointment, Sebastian whispered a prayer in the main hall.

When Sebastian was about to leave, Shin suddenly suggested, "You can ask him if he wishes to

come and stay at the temple.”

Sebastian looked around and asked, "You want him to come here? Why would you want to invite a

dying man over?"

His voice held a note of disdain, but the monk smiled at him. "There are certain things he finds hard

to let go of. By staying in the temple, he could calm his mind and forget the things that have held

him back. I believe doing so will make his journey to the other world easier.”

Sebastian fell silent.

In the afternoon, Jonathan was sent to the ancient temple on the snowcapped mountain. To

everyone's surprise, the elderly man stopped throwing tantrums right after stepping into the place

of worship.

Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief.

After he returned from the mountain, Sasha told him that Vivian and lan had assured her they

would return after learning about Jonathan's condition.

However, Sasha could not get in touch with Matteo since he was on a mission

"Darling, do you think Matteo is out on another dangerous mission? I called Crime Investigation

Unit, but they refused to tell me where he is,” Sasha expressed her concern.

She understood it was the duty of a cop to protect the civilians, but as a mother, she could not help

but worry about her son.

"Don’t worry, Devin is with him. I'm sure he'll look after him,” Sebastian assured Sasha to ease her

mind.

They had made all the necessary arrangements.

Just weeks before Christmas, Vivian and Kurt were among the first who informed Sebastian and

Sasha that they would be home for Thanksgiving.

Sasha was overjoyed. They will be back on Thanksgiving? That's a month before Christmas!

She was all smiles when she started preparing all their favorite dishes.

Soon, they also learned that lan and Susan were returning from Southeast Astoria. Since lan had yet

to fully recover, they had to take a cruise ship instead of a plane.

It might take a longer time to arrive, but the journey would be less bumpy.

All these updates exhilarated everyone in Oceanic Estate.

They believed these youngsters would bring forward their weddings and celebrate their marriage

while Jonathan was still around.

Devin texted: That's a good suggestion, but I'm afraid Vivi and Kurt can't make it, even though Kurt

would turn twenty-one years old in December. He hasn't reached the legal age to get married.

Sabrina replied to his text: Come on. They can always try to conceive before marriage.

After reading the message in the group, Solomon could not help but frown. That woman and her

ridiculous suggestion.

He texted: Are you mad? Vivi is a modest girl from a prominent family. How could you ask her to

commit such an indecent act with Kurt? She'll become a laughing stock if everyone in Jadeborough

finds out about it.

Rufus concurred: Solomon's right. We can't do that.

Sabrina was rendered speechless.

Though she was angered by the remark, she decided to zip her mouth.

Chika dropped a text in the group: if that's the case, we can only look forward to lan's and Susan's

wedding. That's exciting too. lan is the oldest grandchildren of the Jadesons, and Susan is from the

Limmer family. I'm sure the two families would ginger up the wedding.

Devin agreed: Yup. We need to make the wedding as grand as possible. That would make Grandpa

happy. Solomon also texted: / can invite guests from Jetroina too.

Ichika echoed: Yeah. I can also ask my dad to invite people from the royal family to attend the

wedding. It will be spectacular.

Sabrina texted: Wow. I bet it'll be much more spectacular than your wedding.

Solomon could not help but roll his eyes.

chika responded: I'm sure that will be the case, Sab!

Sasha scrolled through all the messages on her phone and was pleased to see how supportive all

the family members were. / can't wait to become a grandmother soon!

Everyone in Oceanic Estate started preparing for the grand wedding before Christmas Eve.

When lan and Susan arrived, everyone immediately arranged for them to register their marriage at

the civil affairs office.q
