Chapter 513 The Unexpected News Break
Mason knelt by his mother's bedside, softly calling her name over and over.
His sister had told him that even though their mother was asleep, she could still hear his voice and sense his emotions.
Despite this, Mason's silent tears flowed as he struggled to keep his sobs at bay.
He didn't understand why, even with his sister by his side, he felt such overwhelming sorrow and abandonment.
At just twelve years old, Mason had faced more pain and hardship than many adults. His maturity was both remarkable and heartbreaking, as he learned to hide his anguish and move forward with his life.
With his sister by his side, he tried to keep his emotions in check.
He had grown up fast, learning to hide his pain and move on to the next chapter of his life.
After a while, he and his sister calmed down and began talking to their mother, sharing their thoughts and feelings.
After spending most of the day at the hospital, Freya decided it was time to head home.
Mandy, who had been waiting in the lounge with her laptop, suggested they all go out for a meal. Freya appreciated Mandy's kindness and agreed to join her.
Both Freya and Mason loved seafood, so they chose a well-regarded seafood restaurant. While it wasn't a high-end establishment, the food was known for its delicious flavors and generous portions.
When Mandy's car pulled up outside the restaurant, they noticed a striking, high- end motorcycle parked there.
The sleek and luxurious bike was clearly a status symbol, and in Saeville, only someone from the Lloyd family could afford such an extravagant ride.
The motorcycle attracted a lot of attention, with people gathering around and discussing it.
Sawyer, dressed in black motorcycle gear and holding his helmet, was leaning against the bike, smoking a cigarette.
His showy demeanor seemed a bit over the top to Freya, bordering on vulgar.
Sawyer extinguished his cigarette and waved over to Freya, saying with a smirk, "You two brought a kid and didn't invite me? If I hadn't spotted you at the entrance of East Saeville Nursing Home and rushed over to intercept you, you probably wouldn't have even mentioned it!"
Freya and Mandy were taken aback. Given the current tension in Freya's marriage with Nathaniel, dining with Sawyer seemed risky.
Freya hesitated, feeling confused.
Mandy looked at Freya without saying a word, clearly concerned.
Freya was momentarily stunned. Since going to Pontenero, everything has been thrown into chaos because of this person. She had tried to avoid meeting and interacting with him, but she couldn't resist him.
Just as she was about to say something, her brother Mason slowly walked toward Sawyer's motorcycle, his eyes filled with admiration.
Sawyer quickly bent down and lifted Mason onto the motorcycle. He placed Mason's hands on the handlebars so he could feel the rumbling of the bike.
It seemed that motorcycles were every man's dream, regardless of age.
Seeing Mason's rare smile, Freya swallowed her refusal.
Taking the opportunity, Sawyer lifted Mason off the bike and ruffled his hair,
smiling as he asked, "Do you want to ride?"
"Yes!" Mason's eyes lit up with excitement.
Compared to the terrifying Taylor, Luna's coldness, and Michael's tortures in Pontenero, Sawyer seemed like a guardian angel to Mason. Freya, Mandy, and Sawyer were the people he liked and trusted.
In Sawyer's presence, Mason wasn't too nervous and nodded eagerly.
Sawyer playfully tapped Mason's nose and said, "Great! I'll teach you how to ride a motorcycle. Tomorrow, I'll come to pick you up from your sister's place, so be ready!"
Mandy silently admired Sawyer's boldness, noting his strategy of winning over a woman by charming her little brother.
With the marital issues between Nathaniel and Freya, Mandy felt anxious about Sawyer's intrusion. She was concerned about how Nathaniel might react.
Seeing that Mason had taken a liking to Sawyer, Freya knew she couldn't turn down the offer without disappointing her brother.
However, she was uncomfortable with Sawyer's manipulative approach.
They all entered the restaurant
together, but it was quite busy that
day. The private rooms on the
second floor were fully booked, leaving only a few tables available in the general seating area on the first floor.
Freya and Mandy followed Sawyer to a corner table in the open area, where they
faced the TV mounted above them.
The seafood at this casual eatery was well prepared, and the portions were generous.noveldrama
As they settled in, the group became more at ease. Sawyer skillfully engaged everyone in conversation.
He could discuss jewelry with Freya, salary negotiations with Mandy, and motorcycles with young Mason. The interaction was pleasant.
Suddenly, a group of girls at a table in front of them gasped at the TV screen.
The restaurant typically aired local news, and these girls, clearly excited by celebrity gossip, began discussing loudly.
"Look, it's Mr. Nathaniel!"
"What? Where is Mr. Nathaniel?"
"On the TV, not here. Mr. Nathaniel wouldn't be in a place like this!"
Freya glanced at the TV. Nathaniel rarely made news appearances except for major events like their engagement and wedding, which were globally broadcast. He generally avoided the spotlight.
Now, the news was showing Nathaniel at a launch party for a minor company. The company's representative was visibly surprised and thrilled to have the renowned Mr Nathaniel attend their event.
However, the main focus of the viewers was on the female star accompanying Nathaniel. This star was a leading figure known for her striking appearance and successful singing career-Grace.
"Oh my gosh! Look how close they are! Grace is almost in Nathaniel's arms!"
"The most shocking part is that Mr. Nathaniel isn't pushing her away!" "Wasn't it said that Mr. Nathaniel isn't interested in other women, especially since he's married with a beautiful wife?"
"Hah! What 'beautiful wife'? He must be tired of her. A man like Nathaniel could easily have a harem of female celebrities. I even heard his wife has a criminal record!"
Mandy slammed her hand on the table in frustration, but Freya quickly stopped her, urging her to stay calm.
