The secretary pushed the door open, and her eyes widened in shock immediately at the sight before her. The Director was sitting upright on the luxurious office chair that was made specifically for him, and sitting on his lap, was a woman. The Director’s suit covered the woman, and her hair was all tangled up as she nestled her head onto the man's shoulder. Her arms were wrapped around the Director.The secretary was no fool. Although she couldn't see the woman's face to identify her, she instinctively realized that this woman must be extremely close with the Director.The secretary had been working at the Ford Group for three years, and over the time of her employment, she had reported to the Director every day with contracts for him to sign. She had never seen the presence of a woman in the Director's office, let alone for one to appear on the Director's lap. The secretary instantly came to the conclusion that she had knocked at the wrong time."I'm...I'm so sorry, Direct

Countless members of the higher management came looking for Sebastian for the rest of the day, either to discuss contracts or the projects they were working on.However, they were all reminded of the small child the director had brought to the office earlier today upon seeing the sign outside the door. They were all intelligent individuals who knew instinctively that the mother shouldn't be far behind if the child were there.Sabrina finally regained consciousness when she was moved to sit beside the windows of the inner bedroom. They were on the 66th floor of the building, and without anything blocking the windows, she could see everything from afar, and so could the others if they decided to look in. For a moment, Sabrina felt as though she had been lying to herself for her entire life and the woman in the present was who she really was. She could not help but felt ashamed for her true self, so much so that she couldn't face the reality that her true self was somehow discover

"I want to see my mommy!" Aino shouted without hesitation.The door immediately swung open, and Kingston took it as the cue for him to leave. Aino stepped in as though she was the owner of the place and found her mother resting in the bedroom."Mommy, why were you sleeping on the bed again?" She asked curiously."Um, mommy was feeling a little bit unwell, baby. So tell me, did you eat well?" Sabrina asked."Mommy, Aino ate so much that my stomach was full. It was fun. Uncle Kingston told me a lot of stories," said Aino. Although she decided that Uncle Kingston and Stinky Bum were becoming less and less annoying, had it not been for her mother's fear of the man, Aino might have started calling Stinky Bum ‘daddy’."Mommy, were you sick? Did you have a fever?" Aino touched Sabrina's forehead tentatively with concern."Mommy is okay," Sabrina lowered her voice, feeling guilty as she spoke, "Mommy just felt sorry that I almost forgot about you and your uncle.""Aino, your mother need

"Wow! Mommy, you look so pretty, you are the prettiest mommy in the world!" Aino, who was standing behind Sebastian, looked up at her mother with amazement, "Who bought you these clothes, mommy? They are so pretty.""They were from your..." Sabrina wasn't sure how she should answer the question. Sebastian, on the other hand, looked cheeky as he waited for Sabrina's reply.Sabrina bowed her head slightly. She had to admit that the clothes he had sent in were indeed the perfect fit for her, in terms of size and style. He even managed to get a fitting underwear. The man's attention to detail was simply extraordinary."Stinky Bum! Were you the one that bought mommy these clothes?" Aino had inherited Sebastian's wit. Although her mother had never finished the sentence, she instantly figured that her mother talked about Sebastian."They fit well," Sebastian commented as he studied Sabrina. His voice was dangerously low, "Had you slept enough?""Yes," Sabrina replied weakly."Come," hol

"I bet those two beauties would be the bosses of our director for life!""The director must have been dying to show them off. I'm so jealous I don't even know if I had the appetite for dinner anymore."The office discussion was not discreet, and some of the comments were heard by Sebastian and Sabrina, but Sebastian decided to ignore them. On the other hand, Sabrina turned around abruptly as they were a few meters away from the entrance. The heated gossiping immediately ceased as everyone was stunned by her looks. The glimpse of her beauty was comparable to that of the legendary Aphrodite. Innocence, composure, indifference, and fragility, all of these qualities seemed to combine perfectly to form her intoxicating demeanor. There was no proper description for her beauty, but it was similar to the essence of all beauties known to mankind. Although it had complexity and depth, her beauty was so pure at the same time.The glance Sabrina took behind her, which left an impression

‘Was he trying to feed me the porridge?’ Sabrina was uneasy with the thought, but before she could respond, Sebastian had already shoved a spoonful of fish porridge into her mouth. Sabrina had no choice but to swallow the porridge obediently. The porridge was at the perfect temperature, which made it easy to swallow. The flavors were well-adjusted, and the fish slices were bouncy in texture. She felt her entire body was warmed as the food reached her stomach. She also felt dazed at the interaction, as though the two of them were a couple that were truly in love with one another, or a husband and wife that had been living together harmoniously for years. She could not help but felt moved. Sebastian rolled his eyes at Sabrina and extended a hand to touch her slim arm."Too thin," he mocked, "You are all bones. Not huggable at all.""..." Sabrina didn't know how to respond. It wasn't until Sebastian fed her another spoonful of porridge when she came to realize something and sneer

He had taken her to his company and introduced her to every manager that mattered to establish her identity in the Ford Group. He had Kingston take her to a Michelin-starred restaurant for steak made explicitly for children. He even had the best designers in the industry prepare an outfit for her, and the only thing he had received in return was being called "Stinky Daddy"."Ya," Sebastian responded in resignation. At least Aino used the word "daddy". It was an improvement from "Stinky Bum"."Is your mother asleep?" He proceeded to ask. Aino nodded."Then you are going to sleep by yourself. You are a big girl now. You need to start learning to be independent and sleep without company!" Sebastian deadpanned. A father's way of educating his children was destined to be different from that of mothers."Okay..." Aino was surprisingly obedient to her father's order, but when he picked up Sabrina and turned to leave, Aino seemed worried and asked hastily, "Stinky...daddy, where are you

It was at that moment that Sabrina noticed the way he tensed his muscles like he was trying to hold his breath, and his temperature was going up. Sabrina was worried that he might be coming down with a fever. She immediately asked, "What...What's wrong with you?""Stop moving!" He barked."Are you ill? Should we go to the doctor? I...I couldn’t move you by myself.""..." Sebastian rose wordlessly and moved across Sabrina to get off the bed. Instantly, Sabrina gaped at the sight before her. The man was completely naked, and yet he was entirely at ease when he stepped off the bed and into his slippers in front of Sabrina, whereas Sabrina was flushed from head to toes."It's nothing you had not seen before," He snorted and walked into the bathroom in his slippers, followed by a "bang!" on the door.Sabrina wrapped herself tightly with the blanket and trembled in silence, thinking that he might pounce on her any second. She waited anxiously as two hours passed by without the man stepp

Their breakfast was a feast of light delicacies. Sabrina was surprised to find her appetite improved compared to yesterday, and Aino enjoyed every bite of the morning indulgence."Mommy, Stinky Bum's home had better breakfast than we had back home," Aino exclaimed. She was mindful of switching back to calling Sebastian "Stinky Bum" in front of her mother.Sebastian had grown used to the name-calling and no longer reacted when Aino called him "Stinky Bum". He concentrated on his porridge without even batting an eyelash and finished his breakfast swiftly as he was never fond of talking during meals."Aino, are you done?" Sebastian looked over at Aino with his usual cold expression."Ya, done," Aino was startled and immediately nodded in response.Sebastian then turned to look at Sabrina, "And you?""Done," Sabrina paused for a moment before asking warily, "If you are taking me with you, is...is it necessary for Aino to tag along?"He did not respond to the question and stood from

"Of course!" Sebastian confirmed in a cold tone, "Aino might be my hostage, but I couldn't possibly keep her by my side every single day. Don't you think I had much better things to do with my time? You wouldn't be able to afford to hire me to be your babysitter!""..." Sabrina was instantly rendered speechless."Which was why I would want to send her to study in kindergarten. Her tuition would be added to the debt you owe me. The day you pay me back what you owed would be the day you and your daughter would be free," Sebastian deadpanned.Meanwhile, Kingston, who was standing behind Sebastian, tried his very best to suppress his laughter. He was the only one who knew how devoted Master Sebastian was in his search for Sabrina. For the past six years, Sebastian had barely rested and travelled around the globe at the faintest sign of Sabrina's appearance. He had cancelled the wedding with Selene for Sabrina's sake and hadn't touched another woman since Sabrina's disappearance. It
