Sasha ended the call happily.
She was going to see her father after all those years, so how could she not be?
Moreover, the timing was perfect. Everything had just calmed down; it was like God was doing it on
purpose.
And after half an hour, Sebastian arrived.
“Why are you wearing so little? Did you not know that it’s going to be cold today?”
That was the first thing Sebastian said after he got out of the car and saw Sasha; he mentioned nothing
about Sasha’s father.
Hearing that, Sasha looked at herself and realized that she had forgotten to put on her coat because
she was too excited.
That said, before she could retrieve it, Sebastian had already taken off his coat and placed it on her.
“Alright. Now, get on.”
“Okay!”
The lingering warmth Sasha felt from the coat made her feel loved.
With that, she forwent the notion of retrieving her coat and hopped into the car.

make some food,” Lance asked after hurrying over.
“It’s fine. We’ll eat out. I’ve made a reservation for the entire family.” Sebastian made the simple yet
assertive decision.
And of course, the entire family meant the Hayes, as well as the Blackwoods.
What he said warmed Sasha’s heart.
She was happy to hear that her father would be welcomed by those that were closest to them.
When they reached the prison, Sasha finally got to see that giant steel door open, and out came a
hunched middle-aged man with silver hair in casualwear.
He was waiting anxiously outside.
“Dad!”
Sasha teared up when she saw him.
As soon as the car stopped, she immediately got out and ran straight toward the man waiting outside.
Seeing that, Sebastian figured he should stop the engine and got out.
It was the first time he and his father-in-law officially met since there was no wedding ceremony.
Besides, Rufus was already jailed because of his bankruptcy prior to that.
They could not have met back then, let alone during the five years Sasha went missing.
Hence, technically, this was the two men’s first meeting.
Sebastian walked over right then.
But the father and daughter were too caught up. They were talking non-stop in each other’s embrace
and took a long time before finally calming down. It was then that Sasha seemed to have remembered
something and turned toward Sebastian with her bloodshot eyes.
“Sebastian… Come.”
Sebastian kept quiet.
So, no more Sebby in front of your dad? Just Sebastian now?
He was a little unhappy about it but still decided to take a step forward.
“Dad, this is Sebastian. He’s here to bring you home with me.”
Sasha tried her best to please her father before she introduced Sebastian to him. She knew that her
father was actually against their marriage back then.
However, what came after surprised Sasha.
“Thank you for everything, Sebastian,” Rufus said with a calm smile after seeing his son-in-law.
“It’s no problem, sir.”
Sebastian was caught off guard at Rufus’ response. His mind went blank as he froze there for a while.
It was the first time he ever felt at a loss, and Sasha noticed it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe actually felt like laughing out loud but quickly went over to help him ease up as she happily took
both of them by the arm.
“Alright now. Let’s quit standing here and head back. Sebastian’s made reservations tonight to
celebrate your return, Dad. We need to wash up and head over to the hotel.”
Rufus’ eyes turned watery as he said, “Okay. Thank you.” He knew that Sasha intentionally coined his
release as a celebration.
After that, the lot got in the car and headed back.
Both the Hayes and the Blackwoods were thrilled to receive such great news after the storm they just
went through that night.
It was especially so for Jackson and his wife.
They went to visit as soon as they received the news about Rufus’ release.
Sasha was delighted to see them and eventually decided to leave the space to the three of them as
she did not know what else she could do. So she took Sebastian outside with her.
“Sebby. Thank you for picking him up with me. All thanks to you, the family can reunite as soon as my
dad was released. I wouldn’t even dream of all these if it was before,” Sasha suddenly said when she
saw their elongated shadows under the street light.
They were slowly walking toward the parking lot at the moment.
As soon as she finished her words, Sebastian’s footsteps came to a halt.
