Sebastian replied coolly, "Is this the first time you''ve waited for me? An hour, and you can''t take it?"


    There wasn''t a trace of warmth in his indifferent tone.


    When he was a child, hadn''t he waited years for him?


    To be with his mistress and illegitimate children, his father had neglected him and his mother. Back then, he had waited every single day for his father toe home.


    He had waited in misery, naively believing that if he was a good boy and studied hard, his father woulde back to see him. But he had been too naive.


    Gradually, he understood. He would never get his father back. His parents'' marriage was an alliance. His mother was beautiful and from a schrly family, always reserved and aloof. When his father didn''te home, she never fought orined, only wanting to live her own life.


    But as a child who didn''t understand, he had longed for a father''s love...


    "Tap, tap..." Timothy knocked on the table, pulling Sebastian back from his thoughts.


    Timothy knew he had no emotional connection with this son.


    It was just that his own father would only entrust the management of thepany to this son.


    "Hmph! This is tant disrespect! I''m your father, and you make me wait?" Timothy was furious. "If Joanna hadn''t been here to keep mepany, I would have left long ago."


    Sebastian raised an eyebrow and gave a faint smile but was incredibly intimidating.


    "You could have left. It''s not like I insisted on seeing you."


    "You..." Timothy''s face flushed with anger, his eyes quickly bing bloodshot.


    "Uncle Timothy, please calm down. Sebastian has been very busytely. Now that he''s here, and you two haven''t seen each other in so long, why don''t you have a good talk? Please, don''t be angry."


    Joanna''s soft, gentle voice eased Timothy''s anger considerably.


    Seeing that he had calmed down, Joanna pressed the service bell to have the food brought in.


    After the dishes were served.


    As they ate, Timothy asked Sebastian, "I heard you''re no longer nning to divorce that useless Natalie."


    Sebastian''s gaze turned cold. "My marriage is none of your business."


    "Hmph! You think I want to meddle? I''ve tolerated this for long enough. Before, she didn''t want a divorce, and you were moring for one, every day Now Natalie wants a divorce, and you''re the one refusing. Have you lost your mind?"


    "Natalie is jealous of Joanna and is always trying to frame her. That woman has a


    dark heart. The sooner you divorce her, the sooner you can marry Joanna."


    "Joanna has waited so many years for you. Why are you making her wait?"


    Sebastian looked at Joanna with a half-smile. "I can''t help it if she''s willing to." Timothy was incensed.


    Joanna heard the implication in his words: it serves her right.


    In that moment, Sebastian gave Joanna the unsettling feeling that he waspletely beyond her control.


    He was smiling, but it was a cold smile.


    "Sebastian, are you trying to kill me with anger?" Timothy red at him. He had always been rebellious, ever since he was a child He never istened to a word his father Safd only to his grandparents.


    Sebastian let out a cool, detachedugh. He elegantly crossed his legs, his aura aloof and noble. "But you''re still alive and well, aren''t you? You even have your illegitimate son and daughter out there in act your son


    caffed to provoke me just yesterday."


    "Since I''m seeing you today, you can pass a message to him for me. If there''s a next


    time, I won''t mind letting him go for a swim with the sharks."


    "You dare?" Timothy mmed down his silverware in a rage.


    "ng!" Sauce sttered all over Joanna''s clothes.


    Her eyes were filled with fury, but she hid it well.


    This Sebastian, he always managed to provoke his father to the brink of a heart


    attack.
