I was startled and didn't understand what he meant. I narrowed my eyes and asked, "Why are you going to Asherton?"
His lips curled into a sneer, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent. Even though he had tried to hide it, I was still able to see it easily.
"Our child can't be sacrificed for nothing," he answered.
I was surprised. I realized that he was about to avenge our lost child and take action against Sebastian. After a moment of hesitation, I asked, "Can I come with you?"
He smirked and asked in a questioning tone, "Are you coming with me because you're sad to see me go?"
I nodded, smiled and replied, "Well, that's the general idea. So? Can I go with you?"
I couldn't sleep well every night, knowing that Sebastian was out there somewhere, having gotten off scot-free. He had to pay. It was the same for everyone, I believed. Although we knew that it was best to live our lives in peace, there would always be things that couldn't be let go of that easily. It was better to settle this quickly, once and for all.
Hendrix finally agreed to let me go with him.
Austin was obviously still mad at me. He had left with Phoebe without even having the meal. He just left after telling Hendrix the tentative date of their wedding. It seemed that the marriage was confirmed.
Aaron and Emma were two weird people, in their own ways. I thought it was impossible for the two of them to work out, but I didn't expect that before leaving, they would exchange contacts and make plans to have dinner at the Reid's that night. Surprisingly, Aaron invited me and Hendrix as well. He wanted to celebrate Carney's first birthday. However, he didn't intend to make a big fuss about the celebration. Just a small family gathering was sufficient, he said.
