Is something wrong with Hunter? He’s not in trouble, is he?"
Roman shook his head: "He’s not doing well right now."
"What exactly happened to him, Roman, don’t hide it from me; you know I’m very worried about him, extremely worried."
Roman lifted his gaze toward her, tutting; the misty water in those autumn-water-crisp eyes.
Those unaware would think she was truly that concerned about Hunter.
No wonder he has been deceived by her over and over again.
It’s completely Oscar-level acting.
To this little lackey before her, he really wasn’t up to par.
But even just as a minor character, he planned to put on a good show for this actress to see.
"Do you remember that day when I mentioned to you unintentionally that Hunter was going to have a paternity test?"
Sebastian swallowed and nodded: "Yes, I remember, you said it had already been done."
Sebastian looked concerned: "Could it be... the result isn’t as expected?"
"How do you define expected and unexpected?" Roman looked up at her.
"Hunter must have hoped those two kids were his as well.
I’ve seen him when he picks up the kids from school, his face was full of happiness..."
"You’ve seen it? When did you see it?"
Sebastian was stunned for a moment: "Oh, I... just happened to see it when I was driving past the kindergarten at the time of school dismissal.
It was too congested, so I did not rush to drive but waited there for a little while.
It was while waiting that I saw Hunter."
Roman nodded in understanding: "Indeed, Hunter loves those two kids so much.
How could it be that those kids aren’t his?
Faye really did set Hunter up badly.
Back then, she followed Hunter all the time, as if she couldn’t live without him.
And in the end, she still went and had children with someone else.
I trusted her so much, and now just thinking about it makes me angry."
Sebastian covered her mouth with her hand in shock: "So, those two children... they really aren’t Hunter’s?"
Roman nodded with an angry face: "Hunter just told me, didn’t you know about this before? Why are you acting so surprised."
"I wasn’t sure at that time either.
I just... I just heard Lucas bragging about it, he said he had a pair of children.
And Faye happened to give birth to twins, so I was suspicious.
I really didn’t think it could be true.
Hunter... he must be in a lot of pain right now."
"Of course, Hunter is a proud man; you know that.
Ah, in any case, I really feel sorry and upset for him right now.
But somehow he’s so stubborn, saying things like since he’s with Faye already, you can’t talk about giving up and whatnot, I say it’s all crap."
Sebastian clenched her fists: "What about Faye then, hasn’t she ever thought about leaving Hunter?
Her staying with Hunter while bringing Lucas’s children is utterly unfair to Hunter."
"That’s true, but Hunter is so stubborn, no one can persuade him now."
Sebastian bit her lip and after a moment of silence, she asked, "Roman, can you do me a favor?"
"Tell me, but it better not be something too troublesome.
My buddy has been deceived ; I’m not in any mood to meddle with other things."
"It’s not something else, I want to persuade Hunter, could you... help me arrange to meet him alone?
He won’t agree to see me now, I really want to properly persuade him, but I don’t have the opportunity."
"What’s so difficult about that, tonight, go to Sasha Bar, I’ll arrange for Hunter to be there.
Then you can have a good talk with him, and advise him for me.
Oh yeah, don’t provoke him now, don’t talk about your past relationship with him.
In Hunter’s eyes, you were also a betrayer back then.
He will get annoyed if he hears that kind of talk now.
Bringing up the past now won’t do you any favors.
Treat him as an ordinary friend and console him well.
Otherwise, he might not even want to give you a glance."
"Oh right, there are a few more things I need to remind you about."
Roman got up, walked over to Sebastian, and they whispered back and forth for a while.
When Hunter appeared in Faye’s office around noon, the weary look on her face finally cleared.
She got up, walked up to him, wrapped her arms around his waist, and leaned her face against his chest: "Work was really overwhelming today, it felt like being in battle all morning, so tiring."
