The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1967

With her dreamy eyes, Natalie stared at Sasha.

"Nat, I want to let you know that Matt has gone back to school. Nevertheless, he has left you a note saying that once you get full marks in your exams, he will give you a video call.”

Sasha then handed Natalie the note.

Just as expected, Natalie's face lost all color at the news until she saw what was written on the note.

Matteo: Remember to work hard in school, as I, too, have gone back to class. Hence, both of US should do our best together.

The message ended with a smiley face at the bottom.

After folding the note back meticulously, she tucked it underneath her pillow.

Even though Sasha was relieved by Natalie's response, a bitter sensation still burned in her eye.

All she could hope for was for time to heal all.

With that, life at Oceanic Estate fell back into a lull. It wasn't until the triplets graduated that their home was bustling with activity again.

Back at Atlantius, the exams were right around the corner.

While everyone was having a meal in the apartment, Vivian suddenly asked, "Ian, are you going back after graduation? I heard Uncle Solomon mention that Hayes Corporation is gradually increasing its investments in Southeast Astoria. Therefore, is he planning to send you there?"

Truth be told, Ian was responsible for the expansion of the company not just in Southeast Astoria but also Chanaea.

After all. Southeast Astoria was a region filled with business potential. Ever since the Tilans collapsed three years ago, Hayes Corporation, in its capacity as the largest business empire in Astoria, officially established its footprint in the region.

Since it was a matter of time before Ian was sent over, he admitted with a nod, "Mmm-hmm. Daddy, too, hopes for the same, other than Hayes Corporation, Eternal Group under the Jadeson will also be there.”

Vivian and Kurt were speechless.

Other than Susan, everyone in the house, including Lotus the dog, was speechless by his answer.

At the end of the day, Sebastian had created a business entity on behalf of the Jadesons, and that company was called Eternal Group. Nonetheless, it kept a low profile and never stole the limelight from Hayes Corporation.

Ian laughed awkwardly.

Kurt, turning his attention to the girl sitting beside him, suddenly asked, "In that case, do you want to go? If Eternal Group is established there, you can be by your brother's side, while your production company will also benefit significantly."

In truth, now that she was twenty-three and had graduated, she was more of a woman than a girl.

However, no sooner had he finished than Vivian widened her glistening eyes to glare at him.

"Are you trying to get rid of me?"

Kurt was rendered speechless.

"Are you planning to go to Gronga? I'm well aware that the top construction company there, PCT Development, has sent you an offer. Are you annoyed that I'm standing in your way? Is that why you're trying to get rid of me?"

When the living room plunged into a deathly silence, Ian and Susan tactfully put down their cutlery.

After that, they grabbed a dog leash and a packet of dog treats respectively before taking Lotus for a walk.

Given how terrifying it was whenever a woman was throwing a tantrum, both of them offered Kurt their condolences in their hearts.

Upon reaching the ground floor, Ian was startled by the sound of something smashing onto the ground from upstairs.

Susan asked, "Are you sure we don't need to talk to them? We might have to buy a whole new set of plates as a result."

"Why should we? It's not like we're going to continue staying there. Come on, let's get Lotus' documents in order. Otherwise, we might not be able to take it with us."

"Sure."

Susan's lips curled underneath the dim yellow light of the street lamp.

After fastening the leash on Lotus, she, with Ian holding her hand, led the dog as both of them strolled around their neighborhood.

Back in the apartment, Kurt was feeling aggrieved, as he never had the intention of going to PCT Development. That aside, what baffled him the most was Vivian's increasingly irritable temperament.

When Kurt woke up the next morning, he noticed a swelling on the corner of his eye, which was the result of a cut from one of yesterday's broken shards.

Just when he was about to head into the bathroom to deal with it so as to avoid any curious questions, he heard a knock on the door. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Come in,” he answered in delight, thinking that it was Vivian.

In the end, the one who walked in when he opened the door was his sharply dressed brother-in-law.

"What are you..."

"We're about to leave. What happened to your eye?" Ian, who had come by to bid farewell, was briefly stunned by the bruise on Kurt's face.

"Did she really hit you?"

"No, I cut myself from a stray piece of glass. Why are you leaving so quickly? Aren't you still waiting for your certificate?"

"Uncle Solomon called to inform me that there has been some trouble. Since the person in charge has failed to quell it, and he's unable to leave, he decided to send me instead," Ian explained briefly.

Obviously, there was a complicated look in his eye as he stared at the wound on Kurt's face.

"I've noticed that she's been out of sorts lately. What happened to the both of you?" he asked with a grim look on his face.

Kurt said nothing, as there was fundamentally no problem at all. It was just that Vivian had reached the stage where she was forced to make a choice between her relationship and career.q
