Chapter 1305
Sabrina said nothing. She really did not want to answer Marcus’s call but when she was going through her nightly skincare routine, she placed her phone on the top of her bedside drawer. Her husband who was already lying in bed saw the incoming call and immediately answered, then placed the phone beside her ear.Sabrina turned and glanced at her husband. She was afraid he would get jealous. When he was jealous, she would suffer. Throughout the afternoon she had already been tormented by him in his office. Mere hours had passed since then. She trembled at the thought of it but she knew how strong he was. He could regain his strength within half an hour.“Uhm…Cousin Marcus… It’s already past eleven p.m. Why are you calling at this late hour?” Sabrina asked.On the other end, Marcus smiled wryly and said, “I’ve been accompanying my grandfather in his room. As long as he remains awake, I cannot leave him. He just fell asleep, so I took the chance and left.”Actually, Marcus had not be

Marcus was alarmed. “What’s wrong, Sabbie, what happened?” Sabrina was flustered. “Uhm, Marcus, I…I fell asleep and accidentally rolled off the bed.” Marcus felt immensely guilty. “I’m sorry, Sabbie, I’m sorry, you…you should get your sleep. We’ll talk at work tomorrow.” With that, he immediately ended the call.On this end, Sabrina had fallen into her husband’s arms. She placed her phone back on top of the bedside drawer and pouted angrily. “Sebastian! I hate you! You knew it was a call from my cousin; if you don’t want to answer, just hang up. But you insisted on answering! And after you did, you didn’t allow me to talk to him! Why are you doing this!”He felt nothing hearing her whine. He said coldly, “Tell Marcus Shaw, the next time he calls you again in the middle of the night, I cut him, just like how you cut my tie this afternoon!” “You’re so unreasonable. He’s my cousin! My cousin!” “There’s no such thing as reasonableness in matters between a man and a woman! Incest

“Mommy, wait.” The little girl stood up and hopped back to her princess-style bedroom, took a polka-dotted bow, and handed it to her. “Mommy, tie your hair up into a bun.” Sabrina listened to her daughter and obediently tied her hair up into a half-bun. Now, she looked even more like a teenaged, high school student. Aino was extremely satisfied with her mother’s style. However, Sabrina herself felt that she was dressed too casually. But still, she did not change because today her bones felt as if they were barely hanging from their sockets. After breakfast, as usual, Kingston picked up the family. When they drove Aino to kindergarten, Sabrina did not see Lori, but that was nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe she felt ashamed and transferred her daughter to another school. After entrusting her daughter to her teacher, Sabrina climbed back into her car and headed for her office. When they arrived at her office, she was just in time. She stepped out and bid farewell to her husb

Lori addressing him as her cousin made fury burn in his chest, but at the thought that last night, she and her mother did indeed help cheer up his grandfather, making him livelier, Marcus suppressed his anger.“Why did you come here all of a sudden?” he asked. “Uhm, I was walking past.” Lori looked at Marcus openly and smiled. “Marcus, didn’t you and Uncle Oliver say yesterday that my mother and I were to move back home. So we bought some daily necessities in the mall nearby and bought some presents for Granduncle and your parents.” Lori glanced at Sabrina carelessly. She wanted Sabrina to hear her. As she spoke, she handed him the luxuriously wrapped box that she held in her hands. “This is for you, Marcus.” As if on instinct, he said in disgust, “I don’t want it!” Lori: “…”Fury flitted across her features. Beside them, Sabrina smiled faintly. At that moment, Lori did not look cold and distant at all, merely whining and begging like a b*tch. She could not even bear to loo

Seeing the two of them mutter to each other, bent all over the place, Lori suddenly snorted in contempt. “Marcus, your relatives are so fun.”Then, Lori glanced at Ruth again, and said, sounding as if she was the master of the house. “Hi, since you’re my cousin’s cousin, then that means you’re my cousin too. Let me introduce myself; my name is Lori Gibson. I just returned from abroad. I’m sorry, Cousin, I didn’t bring you a present today.” Ruth: “…” She stammered, scratching her head awkwardly. “Coward!” Yvonne scolded. Then, Yvonne laughed coldly and looked at Lori. “I’m sorry but you’re trying to buy the wrong person! If you want to join the Shaw family, first you’ll have to get through me, your cousin’s girlfriend!”Lori raised an eyebrow. “Uhm…I’m moving into the Shaw family residence today…”“No! You’ll leave the way you came!” Yvonne roared in anger. The way she looked with her hand on her hip, like a madwoman, was head and shoulders above Ruth. Lori smiled casually, ple

Lori: “Marcus, you…”Marcus’s tone and expression warmed slightly. “You, your mother, and your daughter can all move into the Shaw family residence, but keep to yourself; don’t try to cause trouble around the house. If you think my words are cruel, you can choose not to move in!” Lori never expected Marcus would change his attitude so quickly. As if he did not acknowledge her as his relative at all, but her mother told her that her mother had grown up in the Shaw family home. She loved every tree and every blade of grass in their courtyard. According to her mother, she was practically the princess of the Shaw family, like a little lady of the house. Why were things so different now? Lori hated it! But she remembered what her mother told her. “Lori, times are different now, the aunt that loved me like her own is dead, and the uncle who also loved me is now an old man. Now, we have to rely on the power and influence of the Shaw family, so we have to obey them.”At this thought,

Lori laughed immediately. Suddenly, she felt confident. “Mom! In the future, both of us must marry into the Ford family! We have the right to become the most revered and noble women in this city!” Jennie answered, “Of course!” She pulled her daughter into her arms. “That’s why, for the moment, we have to cling onto the Shaws, they’re our relatives and our biggest stepping stone, do you understand?” “I… I understand, Mom.” The mother and daughter drove further and further away.Meanwhile, on this side, Sabrina was feeling depressed too. Lori had made it clear that she and her mother would be moving into the Shaw family home today. Just yesterday, Kingston had also made it clear that Sean Ford planned to hold a family banquet and invite the Shaws. If Sabrina guessed correctly, the main goal in holding a banquet and inviting the Shaws was because they wanted to invite Jennie Gibson, right? Somehow, the news made her sad. She remembered her own mother. That night after work, S

“Aunt Gloria, actually… You still care a lot about my grandfather, right?” Marcus asked carefully on the other end of the phone. Gloria laughed lightly. “Marcus, if I said no, would you feel bad?” Marcus replied, “No, Aunt Gloria.” “Marcus, you are a good child, I will always acknowledge you as my nephew because biologically, you and I are connected by blood. We are very close. And, you are different from your grandfather and your father; you never rejected me. Not only that, you… You even took care of your step-grandmother’s old house. I know you’re a loyal and affectionate man.”“Thank you, Aunt Gloria,” Marcus said with a smile.“But your grandfather was different,” Gloria said dully. “When your grandfather abandoned me, I was just born, and I didn't have any ability to fight back. Throughout my entire childhood and adolescence, I was rejected by my birth father.“Your grandfather made me understand that I am a sinner, a sinner who was cast aside and spat on the moment she
