Sebastian looked at him in confusion, “What are you doing with that expression?”
Had he answered incorrectly?
“Mr. Grant!” spoke Alexis righteously, “I hope you have some self-respect, my Mr. Navarro is a straight man!”
Pfft!
Sebastian responded, looking at Alexis with a black line all over his head, “What were you thinking, I just want to be brothers with him, I have a wife alright, and several children.”
“Yeah oh,” Alexis scratched his head as an afterthought and smiled a little embarrassed, “I forgot about that, sorry.”
Sebastian rolled his eyes breathlessly and whirled around to add, “Cedron does seem to be a straight guy, though, the no-nonsense kind.”
How else would he have gotten into this situation with Anna?
Hey, these two people!
Sebastian shook his head helplessly, “Take good care of him, I’ll leave first.”
—
Back home, Sebastian realized that Bonnie was actually still awake.
She was holding a book and reading it on the floating window, the dim light enveloped her, looking extraordinarily hazy and beautiful.
The knot in Sebastian’s throat moved, walked up and directly took the book away, his tone carried a little bit of displeasure, “What did I tell you before, don’t read like this, it hurts your eyes too much, besides, it’s so late, why aren’t you asleep?”
Bonnie raised her head to look at him, and spat out her tongue sheepishly, “I’m waiting for you.”
Just one sentence softened Sebastian’s heart.
Lowering his head, he pecked Bonnie’s lips lightly, his tone still taut, “It won’t happen again.”
Bonnie nodded along with that, her gaze falling on him, “What took you so long, didn’t you say it was going to be quick?”
Sebastian smoothly sat down on the edge of the bed and sighed softly, “I didn’t realize the situation was that complicated either, Bonnie, do you know why Cedron was so abusive all of a sudden?”
“Because of what?” Bonnie asked him.
“His baby died.”
What?
Bonnie covered her mouth in shock for a few moments.
How could it be so sudden!
She had seen Mordecai not so long ago, the little one was sunny as hell, hugging the hands of the Navarro familythe old Mrs. Navarro, clamoring that he wanted to follow them abroad too.
How did it die?
“I don’t know exactly why, all Alexis told me was that Cedron had been so busy with Mordecai’s aftermath for the past few days that he couldn’t take care of himself, and that’s what got him in that state.” Sebastian replied.
Bonnie was silent.
That child, even though it was born from Cedron and another woman, was indeed an innocent child.
Now that it was dead, it was more or less hard to feel in the heart.
And-
Bonnie thought again of the Navarro familythe old Mrs. Navarro.
She was so fond of Mordecai, I’m afraid it’s hard for her to accept this sad news, right?
If she fell ill because of this, then no one would be able to perform Amad’s surgery.
A whole lot of problems lay in front of Bonnie, forcing her to think.
Finally after half a day of thinking, Bonnie finally made a decision, “When it’s light you can send me to the Navarro familythe Navarro Residence, I’ll go see the old Mrs. Navarro.”
Sebastian nodded, “My thoughts are the same as yours, and it’s not just the two of us who will go, the children will go as well, at this time of year, what THE OLD Mrs. Navarro needs most, is the comfort of small children.”
“Good.” Bonnie nodded.
The two managed to stay up until dawn, and then they told the five little ones about it.
The five little ones were equally unable to accept this bad news.
Damon even cried out directly, “Mordecai clearly said he liked to eat the crabmeat puff pastry I made, and he hasn’t even gotten to eat it yet, how could he die!”
