Returning from the Dead Chapter 1980
“That’s why we should do everything again, Darling. Well go to the civil affairs office, divorce each other, and then marry each other again before setting up the wedding. What do you say?”
As expected, once Sebastian got permission to reply, he spilled his plans in a thoughtful manner.
Sasha was silent as she grabbed her slipper from the floor.
Sebastian jumped in shock when he saw that.
Natalie was speechless as she watched the renowned, fearsome man being chased by his wife out of the door with a slipper.
She lowered her head, pulled out her phone, and typed: Matt, your mommy and daddy are fighting.
Matteo was speechless when he read the text.
A few minutes later, he called.
Natalie, who was lying on the desk, saw the caller ID. Her dark eyes, which appeared even more brilliant and pretty after she grew up, lit up immediately like the stars In the sky.
“Matt…”
“Mhm. What’s wrong, Nat? Why did my mommy and daddy fight?” Matteo sounded pretty anxious on the phone.
Even his voice was higher-pitched.
It was natural for him to be shocked, since he had never seen his parents fight before. They were usually loving and affectionate toward each other, especially his father. He knew his father loved his mother a lot.
That was why he was pretty shocked when he suddenly heard that.
Natalie told him the whole story in a small voice, starting from Ian’s call to their parents’ argument. Her description was clear.
She had grown up, after all.
When Matteo learned what actually happened, he relaxed. “Ah, I see. In that case, you should just ignore it. You only need to focus on doing your homework.”
“Mhm.” Natalie nodded her head and agreed.
Matteo was about to end the call when he heard her speaking again. “I got ninety-five marks for the exam this time, Matt. I only need five more marks to accomplish your request.”
“Really? That’s great, Nat. Good job!” He didn’t hesitate to compliment Natalie, yet she wasn’t happy.
Instead, after she listened to his reply, a tinge of anxiety appeared on her delicate and pretty face.
“Is that all?”
“Hmm?” He didn’t react to it in time. “What do you mean?”
Silence ensued on the other end of the line.
What she was referring to was the promise he made to her before.
For the past three years, no one knew that the reason Natalie was able to stay obediently at Oceanic Estate for her education was because of Matteo’s promise. He had promised her that if she worked hard and gained one hundred marks in sixth grade, he would bring her to attend a middle school in the area he lived.
That was why she had been working really hard for the past three years.
She wasn’t smart. Her mother, Willow, was an ordinary person while her father, Brandon, was pretty average too.
That was why her grades had always been mediocre.
After three years, right before she was heading to sixth grade, she actually achieved ninety-five marks.
She hung up the call. When Sasha returned to the room, she saw no one inside.
“Where is she?” When she saw the incomplete homework on the table, she panicked.
Sebastian was right behind her, and when he saw that, his eyebrows furrowed as well. They went out to look for her.
The intensity of their worries increased when they couldn’t find Natalie anywhere in Oceanic Estate that night.
“Where did she go? She was all okay when she was doing her homework! Why did she suddenly disappear? Did someone come in and abducted her?” Sasha was so worried that tears were gushing out of her eyes.
It couldn’t be helped, since Natalie was the only person alive who had a blood relation to her best friend. She couldn’t imagine how she would face her friend if the child went missing.
Seeing how his wife was getting extremely anxious, Sebastian, who was worried she might break down, comforted her first before giving Devin a call and asking him to bring people over. They would conduct a thorough search over the entire Jadeborough.
No one in the Jadeson family rested for the entire night.
The next morning, everyone was shocked that Matteo, who was supposed to be at the foreign police headquarters, suddenly appeared in front of them.
“Matteo, you… Why are you here?”
“Where’s Natalie? Did you all find her?” That was the first thing he asked after traveling back to the country overnight.
Sasha was stunned.
At that moment, Sebastian also understood something.
Half an hour later, they found Natalie in Matteo’s room. She was hiding inside Matteo’s wardrobe. When she was carried out of the wardrobe, she was unconscious.
“What exactly is going on?” Jonathan got so furious that he pounded the floor with his walking stick.
Sasha wasn’t sure what to say.
In the end, she could only watch as her son carried Natalie in his arms and rushed the little girl to the hospital before following them.
