The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian) novel Chapter 1711

“Why in the world did your mother ask you to send watermelons here? I could've just bought them myself if I wanted to have one. Besides, they're quite heavy. Did she forget that you're still just a child?”

“A child?” scoffed Jaena after she finally managed to catch her breath.

She was about to tell Sasha how much she appreciated someone remembering that she was still a child when Nina suddenly appeared from the stairs.

“Who's this?” Jaena had always been easily distracted by new things, including fresh faces.

“Oh, she's Kurt's little sister. She just got here. Hey, do you want to play with her, Jaena? I think she could really use a friend.”

Sasha was suddenly hopeful again because she thought that Jaena could keep Nina company.

However, upon hearing that, Jaena immediately jumped to her feet.

“No, thank you. I have enough to deal with as it is. Just having Jeffrey around was enough to give me headaches, and now you want to torment me with another? If you don't mind, I'd prefer not to worsen my already terrible headaches. The watermelons are delivered, so I did what I came here to do. Bye, Aunt Sasha. I have to go to school now.”

Then, the girl hurried to the door and made herself scarce, leaving Sasha alone with Nina once again.

After Jaena left, Nina lowered her head in disappointment. I knew it. Nobody likes me.

Meanwhile, Sebastian stayed at the Aquene Temple for several days, for it had been some time since he last visited the thousand-year-old temple.

“So I heard that you gave Matteo command of SteelFort?” inquired Shin while making tea and playing chess with his son in a pavilion beside the stream.

Sebastian held a teacup in his hands as he focused his attention on the chessboard. “Yes.”

“Aren't you worried about them?” Shin took a sip of his tea after asking the question with furrowed eyebrows.

Compared to Sebastian, Shin seemed more concerned about the young ones.

With a smirk, Sebastian extended his slender fingers to move a chess piece before responding, “What's there to worry about? They're not children anymore, you know? In just a few more months, they'll be eighteen years old, which means they'll be adults very soon.”

Shin was stunned when he received that piece of information. They're almost eighteen already?

The elderly man was so revolted by the conflict that he could not help but frown instinctively when he brought up the topic. Still, there was no other way. It was unavoidable.

“What?” exclaimed Shin with his eyes widened at Sebastian, no longer interested in rearranging the chess pieces. Son? Eddie's son?
