Chapter 58: There’s only one person who can disappear without a trace.
"Thank you for the meal." Sebastian finished his meal quietly, not making a fuss as he ate every crumb on his plate. Meanwhile, Heaven could only watch her son lift his eyes to her.
"I will go back to my room," added the little boy monotonously. "Have a good day."
Sebastian tilted his head down slightly, not showing any intention of staying with his mother. He jumped out of the table, leaving Heaven all alone. If not for his height, one would mistake him for an adult. It was quite scary how his action resembled Dominic’s. It was like Dominic just shrunk in size.
"Basti."
Sebastian’s steps halted while his pupils slowly dilated at his mother’s call. This was the first time he heard his name on his mother’s lips. He almost doubted his ears. His ears might’ve been deceiving him.
"Are you going back to your room to rest?" asked Heaven, still cupping her jaw with her knuckles, eyes on the boy’s back. "If you do, then I won’t stop you. But if there’s nothing special you need to do, would you mind if I stay with you?"
There was a moment of silence after her remarks, as Sebastian didn’t react. She couldn’t even see the look he was making now, but if she was to guess, her suggestion probably took him off guard.
And... she was correct.
Sebastian rewound her suggestion in his mind as many times as possible. Not only his mother had given him food, she called his name, and now, she was offering to stay with him.
