The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 85

What do I do? What can I do to gain his trust again? How do I make sure he doesn't get distracted byanyone else? She looked down and let the tears fall as she clenched her fists tightly. “Yes, I don't seelan as my own child, because I want to have one of my own!” “What?” Sebastian exclaimed, risingfrom his seat abruptly. “Your own child?” Xandra looked into his eyes and continued, “Yes, Sebastian,I want a child of my own. I have craved for reciprocated love and emotional contribution from yourend for five whole years?” Sebastian fell silent with a grim expression on his face. However, Xandrawas not going to give up.This was her chance to fight back, and she would not let that chance slip by. “I feel neglected andscared every night, and I see nothing but you leaving me behind every time I close my eyes,” shesaid sorrowfully. “Don’t you know, Sebastian? I was the girl who left you those letters under thatmagnolia tree for ten years. I didn't want to reveal myself, simply because I was scared that you'lltreat me like I was transparent!” She opened her bag with shaking hands and took something out.Sebastian narrowed his eyes at the sight of the object that she took out. It was just an old fountainpen wrapped in an old and yellowing handkerchief, but Sebastian could see the magnolia flowerembroidery on its edges from where he was standing.He curled his fingers instinctively. “I've never thought of sucking up to you, so I never expected youto write back. You told me afterwards that you'll take care of me for the decades to come in returnfor the warmth I gave you those ten years, and that's why I went home with you. Don't youremember, Sebastian?” Xandra cried, almost choking on her tears. Sebastian pinched his fingerstogether. He prided himself on his self-control, and he knew Xandra's true intentions. Somehow, hemanaged to keep his emotions in check despite her irritating attempts to get his attention. “Whatdo you want, exactly?” he asked. Xandra looked up with a start, her pitiful act completely forgotten.What do I want? I want to return to your side and live like how we used to before! Without evenbothering to wipe her crocodile tears off her face, Xandra blabbered,“No, nothing much. I just wish to go back to Frontier Bay and make up for my mistakes... * “There'sno need, Xandra,” Sebastian said coldly. “Now listen up. I won't let you touch my son ever again.”Xandra's hopeful expression disappeared immediately, and her face turned as pale as a sheet. Leftwith no choice, she decided to change gears. “Can I come and work here instead? I really miss you,Sebastian. Is there any position that I can fill?” she asked. “Work here?” Sebastian repeated quietly,eyes still trained on her. By the time Sasha heard of Ian's plan to get her a job at the HayesCorporation, it was already the next afternoon. Her eyes widened when he told her about his plan."Why are you telling me to work at your Daddy's company? I'm a doctor! I can work in a hospital!”lan raised his head to look at her in the eyes as he slung his bag over his shoulders. *I'll go to school if you agree to work at Daddy's company.” Huh? Sasha stared at him with aperplexed expression on her face. What has going to school got to do with me working at the scum’scompany? Since when did he learn to strike deals with people? Sasha pondered over it for a momentand decided to mention a certain person as a last resort. “You see, lan, getting into your Daddy'scompany isn't as easy as you think. Your Daddy doesn’t even like me.”She bent down and looked into his eyes as she spoke those words while trying her best to hide hersorrow. Isn't it true? He'll never let someone like me work at his company. He wouldn't even have letme into his life if not for lan’s illness! However, lan simply grabbed her hand and dragged her out ofthe house. “Let's go and see Daddy!" Huh? What in the world is happening? Sasha's eyes widened inshock as she stumbled after lan.
