Chapter 964


    Was there an oue?


    The answer was no.


    That was because no one could disobey their parents, no matter how good or how bad they were. After


    all, thetter was the one who brought them up. Hence, obedience was a way to express one’s filial


    toward their parents.


    Sasha apanied Sebastian to Oceanic Estate.


    There was still no news from the Woodses two dayster. Even since Sebastian’s warning at the Red


    Pavilion, the Woodses had been very wary of their actions.


    It was also two dayster that Jonathan finally found out about Devin’s resignation at the military base.


    “That b*stard! Is he trying to turn against me now? Did I tell him to resign? Is he trying to get on my


    nerves? What good would it bring him if I died?”


    Jonathan was livid as he smashed everything in his studies. Even the ground could not withstand his


    fury.


    Mark’s face turned pale upon seeing that.


    Although Jonathan was disappointed with Devin’s qualifications, he had never ill-treated thetter. In


    fact, the former had spent a lot of his time and effort on Devin.


    Seeing how mad Jonathan was, Mark was afraid that something might happen to him. Hence, he quickly


    came over tofort him.


    “Don’t worry, Old Mr. Jadeson. We’ve stopped the letter from reaching the higher-ups. The people of the


    military base have found out and quickly warned us about it. What’s important now is to dismiss Mr.


    Devin’s thought of resigning,” Mark reminded Jonathan.


    Jonathan stood in the middle of the mess he had created and leaned against the table to calm himself


    down. Still fuming, he ordered, “Go find that b*astard now!”


    “Yes, Old Mr. Jadeson.” Mark let out a sigh of relief. Thereafter, he left Oceanic Estate to search for


    Devin.


    At this moment, Sasha was trimming the flowers in the garden. Just when she was about to take the


    flowers upstairs to arrange them in a vase, she saw themotion that happened in the study, and her


    expression changed.


    Devin is resigning his position in the military?


    Sasha panicked too upon hearing the news. After seeing Mark leave hurriedly, she quickly threw away


    the scissors in her hands. With the flowers left in her grip, she rushed up the stairs.


    “Oh no, Darling! Devin is in trouble!”


    Sasha ran up hurriedly, shouting even before reaching the bedroom on the third floor.


    Under the golden sunray, the man who was flipping through his old notebook in front of the window in the


    bedroom frowned upon hearing Sasha calling for him.


    Why isn’t Sebastian replying to me?


    “Darling?”


    Since there was no one answering her, Sasha called out gently with flowers in her hands as she walked


    toward Sebastian.


    Right then, Sasha looked exactly like their daughter, Vivian.


    It was obvious that the nk and sweet look Vivian had was all inherited from Sasha.


    Sebastian finally turned his head over as he put down the notebook in his hands. He looked at Sasha


    with his pair of ck and charming eyes and asked, “What happened?”


    “I heard Mark saying downstairs that Devin is resigning. Darling, what do you think he is trying to do?


    Why did he resign all of a sudden? Does he not want to be a soldier anymore?”


    Sasha went on to recount everything she overheard just now.


    She could not fathom Devin’s decision. She felt confused and angry because she understood the


    implication of the resignation to the Jadesons and to Devin himself.


    However, what surprised Sasha more was that Sebastian was not taken aback by her words.


    “What’s so strange about it? Devin has always been like this.”


    “Huh?” Sasha was astonished.


    Devin has always been like this? Sebastian sounds like he knows Devin very well, to the extent that he’s


    aware that Devin will resign. However, wasn’t he very tense when Devin’s parents passed away a few


    days ago? Sebastian was constantly grumpy and was not as calm as always when he spoke and


    worked. Now he’s telling me that Devin has always been this way?


    Sasha looked at Sebastian, who looked rxed despite the frown on his face. At that instant, she


    seemed to have understood what Sebastian was implying.


    “Okay. Then what should we do now? Are we really letting him resign?”


    “Resign? Have our efforts in raising him up all been fed to the dog?” Sebastian said through gritted teeth.


    Quickly, he changed into a clean set of clothes and headed out.


    Sasha was shocked by how ruthless the metaphor Sebastian gave was.


    Even so, Sebastian is right. Old Mr. Jadeson has nurtured Devin for so many years. How could Devin


    just give up in this manner? Though he may have done it for Sebastian and me, that’s still not the right


    way to do it.


    Relief washed over Sasha.

    After that, she did not intervene further but took out her phone and sent Sabrina, who was in Avenport, a


    message.


    Sasha: Sab, what are you doing now?


    Sabrina: Anything?


    Sabrina’s reply was rather instant. It was as if she had been waiting for Sasha’s message.


    Sasha felt a twinge in her heart, but she quickly pulled herself together and replied to Sabrina.
