" After speaking , Maxine glanced at her watch . There were still thirty minutes left before their agreed time . Meanwhile , in a villa at Halfhill Bay , Sebastian stood in the walk - in closet , hesitating between two coats of the same style but different colors . Sebastian remembered Maxine once said he looked good in dark gray . After a moment of hesitation , Sebastian reached for the dark gray one . Just then , the bedroom door creaked lightly . Sebastian stepped out to take a look . " Brian ?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow . " What is it ? " Brian stood awkwardly at the door , mumbling , " Dad , are you going to see Mom ? " Sebastian gave a short hum . " Stay home and wait for me . " With that , Sebastian turned back , ready to head inside . " Hey- Brian quickly ran after him and followed him into the closet . " Dad , driving alone's not safe , right ? I'll go with you . " Sebastian adjusted his tie in the mirror , tone calm . " Want to see mommy ? " Brian's eyes went wide . " I do not ! " Sure , lately it'd just been Brian and Dad at home , and it did feel kind of empty . The food their housekeeper made wasn't that great , and no one read him bedtime stories anymore … But ! That didn't mean he missed Maxine ! She'd pushed him before and he got seriously hurt because of it ! As Brian thought about it , a sudden wave of indignance washed over him . He thought , ' Isn't a mom supposed to love her kid no matter what ? Why is she so heartless ? Even Kathleen is better than her ! ' Sebastian didn't notice the tangled expression on Brian's face . He said simply , " Then stay here . I'll be back soon . " Brian stayed quiet for a while , then asked , " Did she ask you to come ? Why does she want to see you ? " Sebastian's movements paused slightly . A subtle flicker passed through his eyes . After a moment , Sebastian lowered his gaze . " Not sure . But I think it's about what I said before . She probably made up her mind and wants to talk face to face ." Brian's eyes lit up with hope . " She doesn't want to get divorced ? " Sebastian slipped on the coat , thoughtful . " Probably not ." ' If she really wants to end things , she'll just ignore everything and not reach out , Sebastian thought . Brian could barely contain himself . " I want to go too ! " He grabbed Sebastian's wrist quickly . " Dad , take me with you ! " Sebastian didn't exactly mind bringing Brian , but Maxine's words echoed in his mind , making him pause . 1/2 Wed , 18 Chapter 47 Then Sebastian ruffled Brian's hair . " She doesn't want you there , and she's right . Grown - up stuff isn't something you should get involved in . " Noticing Sebastian's hesitation , Brian quickly added , " I won't go in ! I'll just wait outside and listen , okay ? " Sebastian looked into those wide eyes and couldn't bring himself to say no . After thinking for a bit , Sebastian let out a sigh . " Fine . You'll stay outside with James . Don't wander off , got it ? " Hearing this , Brian beamed and followed Sebastian eagerly . Just as they were about to head out , the doorbell rang . Sebastian frowned and walked over to open the door . He was slightly taken aback . " Kathleen ? " Kathleen stood at the door holding several bags of groceries , smiling warmly as she stepped in . Brian looked surprised , but more than that , he looked delighted . " Kathleen ? Why are you here ? " Still smiling , Kathleen set the bags down and pinched Brian's cheek playfully . Kathleen replied , " I came to cook for you ! " 2/2
