However, a figure appeared behind her all of a sudden. “Ms. Wand, where are you going?” “Ahh?”
Sasha almost jumped out of her skin, instantly halting in her steps to look behind her as her heart raced
with lingering shock. “Oh, it’s you, Berta. I… I’m going upstairs to see if Little Ian’s awake.” “You’re
going up to see Ian? Ms. Wand, he isn’t awake yet, so don’t disturb him. Also, what did you bring here?
Why does it look like that?” Berta, who seemed to have materialized out of thin air, didn’t just prevent
Sasha from seeing her son. She even poked her nose into Sasha’s business, asking about the things
the latter had placed on the dining table. Sasha explained, “Those are some pastries and medicinal
soup I brought from home.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI personally made them for Little Ian.” “Ms. Wand, I’ve told you before that Ian can’t eat outside food.
He’s sick, remember?” Resentment was written on the housemaid’s face. Sasha started to feel uneasy.
Glancing at the food she brought, she reigned in her temper and insisted, “I personally made them.
There won’t be a problem.” “Who knows? He did come down with diarrhea because of the brownies
you made.” Sasha’s brows drew together at that. Little Ian fell sick because he ate the brownies I made him? As the possibility surfaced in her mind, she remained motionless on the spot. Of course, she
didn’t think that her food itself was the problem since she was confident in her own skills. However,
listening to what the housemaid said, she began to suspect that Ian was allergic to certain ingredients.
It was a possibility that couldn’t be ruled out completely.
Sasha’s face turned pale, thinking that she had caused Ian’s sickness. “What are both of you doing?”
Right then, a tall figure descended the stairs, wearing a black tailored suit over a white shirt. The
moment he appeared, the noble and imposing aura he emanated caused Sasha to hold her breath
subconsciously. I thought he should be at the company by now. “Mr. Hayes, Ms. Wand brought food
over again. I was afraid that Ian’s condition would worsen after eating whatever she brought, so I was
offering her a word of advice.” Berta immediately began complaining about Sasha to the head of the
household. Sasha became frantic. “No, I-I didn’t know that Little Ian fell sick because he ate the
brownies I made. I-I really didn’t do it on purpose,” she stammered out an explanation, afraid that
Sebastian would misunderstand her and never allow her to see her son again.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes. His eyes that were always devoid of warmth swept across the food on
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe table before returning to stare at the woman who had her head bowed. “Who told you that he fell
sick because of the brownies?” “Huh?” Sasha whipped her head up and stared blankly at the man. “H-
He didn’t? But Berta said—” “I didn’t say that, Ms. Wand. I clearly said that the child is sick and needs
to be careful of what he eats lest his condition worsens!” Berta interrupted her and raised her voice to
deny it. Sasha stared at her in wide-eyed disbelief. Wow, look how quickly she changed her statement. Does she think I’m stupid? Sasha went purple with rage. “That’s enough. Since you have so much free
time, you should think about how to take good care of him because if something happens to him again,
you’ll have to answer to me, Sasha Wand!” Sebastian withdrew his indifferent gaze but didn’t do
anything else about the matter. A strange feeling slithered into his heart. Although he constantly wanted
her to be at his mercy, when he saw the crestfallen look on her face just now, he realized that it didn’t
bring him any pleasure whatsoever. Shaking off this peculiar feeling, he strode out the door.
