In the end, Carlos simply sighed and had someone wheel him away without saying a word.
Just like that, that table became a lot more quiet as no one came over even when the party was about to end.
After the maids had left, Sasha popped out of a corner and ran straight over while holding the hem of her dress up.
“What are you doing, Sebby? Huh? Are you all done eating? Why are you the only one left at the table?”
She reached out to surprise him by covering his eyes from behind, but stopped herself when she saw him sitting at
the table full of dishes all by himself.
For some reason, seeing Sebastian glancing at his smartphone while being lost in thought made her heart ache a
little.
He arched an eyebrow when he saw her, and his expression that had been cold the whole evening finally turned
gentle.
“Yeah, how are things on your end? Everything over?”
“Mhmm!” Sasha’s face sank upon hearing that as she didn’t really have a great time with the maids earlier.
“Sebby, did you know that Mrs. Zander is very close with Mrs. Croll, Mrs. Oveson, and Mrs. Hamilton? They were

“And?”
“And then I got a little mad! While I wasn’t ignored completely, seeing them like that made me extremely
uncomfortable! This is the White House, and they’re there forming cliques!” Sasha pouted as she said that.
Sebastian had hired someone to help doll her up nicely before they came over, and everyone was staring at them
for quite some time when they arrived.
But her pretty little face had become so puckered up that Sebastian couldn’t help but chuckle at how ugly she
looked.
Oh, man… Look at this silly girl, getting all angry over people like that! What happened to all that big talk before we
left the house?
With that in mind, Sebastian gave her a little pinch on the nose and said, “All right, don’t be so angry now. We’re not
coming here often, so there’s no need to get so worked up over such trivial matters.”
“But, you…”
“I’m not going to stay here for long either. Once we’ve taken out the trash, we’ll head back to Avenport and never
return.”
There was a hint of exhaustion in Sebastian’s bloodshot eyes when he said that.
Of course he’s tired… He’s been supporting the entire Jadeson family and protecting their safety all by himself for
so long! As strong as he may be, Sebastian is still human and would surely get exhausted!
Sasha’s eyes reddened at the thought of that, and she wrapped her arms around him before kissing him on the
forehead.
“All right, we’ll do as you say.”
The two of them had the most beautiful moment in the world.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged woman wearing a green baniere entered and came over when she saw her husband
inside.
They were about to leave after placing their wine glasses down when they saw Sasha and Sebastian being all lovey-
dovey.
“Were we like them as well back then?”
The middle-aged man was wearing a gray suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He arched his eyebrow as he

The woman in the green baniere chuckled in response. “Of course you don’t remember! You only care about that
group of guys from your squad!”
“Are you jealous?”
“No, I was just wondering… Given what you’re doing to the son of your commander that you miss dearly, how will
you face him after you die?” the woman whispered into his ear with a light chuckle as they left hand in hand.
The sound of her laughter was completely different from when she was with Sasha earlier. She had maintained an
elegant posture the whole time while seated at the table, and even her laughter had an air of nobility to it.
However, she sounded just like any other ordinary person when she was with the man in that moment.
“I could ask you the same thing. You pissed off that young girl pretty badly too, didn’t you?”
“Eh, she’s all right. She’s a smart woman and had found a bunch of people to help her out even before entering the
White House. I didn’t really get to ignore her earlier,” the woman replied with a sigh.
It was as if she had finally met an opponent strong enough to frustrate her.
They then walked too far to be heard, but Sasha and Sebastian noticed Carlos talking to a few people when they
came out of the ballroom.
“Sebby?”
“Shh…”
Sebastian quickly tugged at her arm, and the two stopped in their tracks.
