The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Chapter 1982

Ian: Are you all right?

Matteo: What's up?

Ian: I heard Nat is going to study at your place. I caused this, so if there's anything you need, let me know.

Matteo was seething with anger.

Still, Ian was his brother, so he had no choice but to swallow that anger.

Matteo: It's fine. I'll Just think of it as an early experience of what it's like to be a father. Oh yeah, how are things at your end? I heard from Mommy and Daddy that you two are getting a marriage certificate. Am I going to become an uncle?

Ian froze. / can't believe he's saying stuff like that!

He quickly glanced outside. After making sure that Susan was immersed in her work, he suppressed his anger and scolded his brother.

Ian: What are you thinking? We haven't gotten married yet.

Matteo: Aren't you two engaged already? Are you going to tell me you two haven't done anything yet?

Ian remained silent.

Matteo: No way. Are you for real? You're too pure, Ian. Do you remember our classmate? The Dawson guy? Even though you two had engagements at roughly the same time, his child is already a year old now.

Ian still didn't reply.

Matteo: Are you having problems? Sure, you haven't bought the ticket for the boat ride yet, but it's already booked. It's fine even if you two enter the boat now.

Ian: Matteo Hayes!

Ian almost squeezed his brother's name through gritted teeth with fury. This bastard! What has he been doing for the past three years? Why did he become someone who casually says whatever is on his mind? Doesn't he know he's not married yet? He doesn't even have a girlfriend yet!

Ian's face darkened.

When Matteo saw those two words, he could feel his brother's wrath and stopped teasing him.

Matteo: All right, all right. I'll stop now. still, I'm just reminding you that if you don't do it fast, your wife's pregnancy may pose a health risk due to her age, since she is three years older than you.

Veins were popping out on Ian's forehead when he read that text.

The sound of a pair of high-heels approaching him entered his ears. Then, he heard a woman's voice. "What are you doing, Hubby?”

"Oh, nothing.” Ian immediately put his phone back onto the table, as though he had just done something bad. He then raised his head and stared at Susan while pretending to be calm.

"Hmm?" She lifted her eyebrow. What is this guy doing? Why is he blushing so hard?

"Is there a problem?”

"Oh, yes. The customs just told me that they are going to conduct additional examinations on the materials that our company shipped today. If that happens, not only will it delay our shipment's arrival,

but we may also need to pay a lot of fees." She then handed some documents to Ian.

Ian took It and read it. This is ridiculous. The shipment is already priced incredibly low. If this goes through that troublesome custom, we're not going to make any money out of it. Not only that, if the shipment is delayed, the company needs to pay a penalty fee!

The look in Ian's eyes darkened.

A few minutes later, Melvin was summoned.

Ian ordered, "Follow me to their headquarters.”

"Eh?” Melvin was shocked. He got here not too long ago. Does he really want to go to the government headquarters?

Susan was shocked too. "Don't you think this is too dangerous? They're clearly trying to force Hayes Corporation to listen to them. If you go there, they won't be very nice to you.”

She blocked Ian's way, but he just waved his hand dismissively to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about.

"They're not going to do anything to me. Besides, if they're doing this, they are clearly inviting me to visit them," he uttered.

In the end, Susan didn't say anything else.

After a while, Ian left the company and headed straight to the government headquarters.

Susan waited in the company anxiously. There was a moment when she impulsively wanted to call Ian's parents to tell them about what was going on.

In the end, though, she resisted the temptation and went to pour herself a glass of water to drink instead. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

That was because she knew Ian wouldn't want his parents to help him as he was learning how to be better.

She knew he wanted to gain a foothold at where they were through his own hard work.

The waiting lasted for the entire afternoon.

When she finally heard some news, it was about time for people to get off work.

At that moment, she was the only person left in the finance department.

Before Aubrey left, she saw Susan still staying in the company, seemingly with no intention of leaving. So, she approached Susan and asked, "Are you still worried about Mr. Hayes, Ms. Wand?"

Susan nodded awkwardly. "I've been waiting for a whole afternoon, but still hasn't returned."

"You don't have to worry. Even government officials won't dare to mess with Hayes Corporation, since the company is quite powerful here. They probably just want to make some money, so they won't cause any other trouble.”

Susan didn't expect Aubrey to be that knowledgeableq
