I couldn’t help but suppress a smile as I observed him fumble, attempting to compose himself. He even discreetly blew on his hand, checking his breath. After clearing his throat, he finally spoke up.

“Can I excuse myself for a minute? I’ll be back shortly,” he stammered. There’s a fear in his eyes, probably thinking that I’m going to disappear the moment he turns his back.

I raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. “You’re fine,” I reassured him.

“This won’t take long. I’ll be back in five minutes,” he insisted, determination evident in his voice as he made his way towards the door behind him. With a deliberate gesture, he left the door ajar, affording me a glimpse of the room beyond. Inside, I could see a meticulously arranged set of furniture, each piece hinting at a level of refinement and elegance.

Watching him go into the room, I felt really curious. It looked like this was where he lived now.

I waited for another few minutes before he came out of the room. His hair was a little bit damp, probably from washing his face. He had also changed into a clean shirt before he took the chair across from me. Despite the dark circle under his eyes, he still looks as handsome as ever.

“Where are you planning to stay?” I asked directly.

He was caught off guard by my sudden bluntness. I don’t need to beat around the bush. I came here for one reason only, and that is to give him a chance to be a father to Blaze. Everything between us was over. The only thing that connects us is

our son.

“I have a few properties around the city,” he answered.

Of course, he does. What am I thinking? He owns a multi-billion-dollar company, and of course, he has other properties he can stay at.

“I’m sure you didn’t come here just to ask me that,” he said while fidgeting with his fingers. He looks nervous, which I don’t see often.

“Yes, you’re right. I came here to talk about Blaze,” I started.

He was stunned upon hearing that. “What about Blaze? Is he okay?” he asked worriedly.

“He’s fine. He’s getting better every day,” I replied.

He let out a sigh of relief upon hearing that. “That’s good,” he said.

“He wanted to meet you,” I said.

He suddenly looked pale as he stared at me. He was too stunned to speak. I saw him try to open his mouth, but nothing came out. He looks like he is about to faint any minute now.

“Breath, Sebastian,” I reminded him when it seemed like he had forgotten to breathe.

“Did you tell him who I was?” he stammered, the question hanging heavily in the air. It was clear that he struggled to comprehend the reality of the situation.

“I didn’t need to,” I replied softly. “You gave yourself away when you cried out for him last night. He’s a perceptive child.”
