Chapter 61: It’s a promise
"On a serious note." Heaven cleared her throat after minutes of praising her son to the heavens. She propped her arms against the table, eyes on Sebastian. "You know, no matter how amazing your actions this morning are, it’s still wrong, right?"
Sebastian pursed his lips, sliding his eyes to the side as he nodded.
"Do you understand why your father was furious?" Her brows rose, watching her son nod again. "It’s not because he doesn’t trust you or doesn’t acknowledge how special you are. It was actually the opposite."
She smiled warmly, tilting her head to the side. "No matter how mature and great you are, it was still dangerous. I’m still in disbelief at how you traveled on your own. Why didn’t you want your father to find you, knowing he’d turn this world upside down if he didn’t? I assume there’s a reason behind that."
Of course, there was a reason for that.
Sebastian studied her face, detecting the genuine curiosity in her eyes. A shallow breath slipped past his nostrils, wondering if he should reveal the reason behind his discretion.
"Because one can run away from him, but they can never hide." He lowered his eyes while deep lines appeared between her brows.
’What did he mean by that?’ she wondered, waiting for her son to clarify that vague remark.
"If you decided to run away, he’ll eventually find you. No. He’d know even before you can leave the city." Sebastian slowly raised his head to meet her eyes. "Someone has to know which route to take and an expert to conceal traces. Father’s connections are not one to underestimate. He can mobilize an entire army in one phone call."
