“Sabrina! Damn you!” The moment he opened his mouth, Sean started cursing at his daughter-in-law. Sabrina was speechless. “…”She was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. When Sebastian walked out to answer the call, he locked the door behind him from the outside, Sabrina was locked in. Since she could not go out anyway, she simply laid down and continued to sleep. Within ten short minutes, she had fallen asleep again. And now, a short while later, she was rudely awakened by Sean and his call. Her entire body ached, whilst fragments of her heart lay scattered on the ground. During that extremely short nap, she had a dream. She dreamt that she and Sebastian were divorced, but after the divorce, every single day, she cried and sobbed. Her heart could not bear the idea of leaving him; she was so depressed she felt as if her heart was going to shrivel up and die. Having such a dream made her cry even in her sleep. When she was at the peak of her despair, she was awakened by a call
If it was Sabrina, she would not call him at all. However, Sebastian still answered the call. “Hello?”On the other end, Lori sounded unexpectedly calm. “Director Ford, I… I have something to tell you.”Sebastian answered, “Alright.” “Uhm… Last week Uncle Ford invited my mother, my granduncle, and I to the Ford Ramily residence. That day, he said you, your wife, and your daughter would also be present.” “Is there a problem?” Sebastian threw the question back at her. Lori’s tone was sincere. “It’s like this, Director Ford; your wife doesn’t like me too much, so, I think… Maybe you shouldn’t come?”Sebastian: “…”“Master Sebastian, don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to prevent you from going to your own home. But because… Because Uncle Ford invited us, my mother and I have no choice but to attend. My mother and I have no one to rely on but each other, so we don’t dare to go against Uncle Ford’s wishes. That’s why I thought to talk to you first. Because I’m quite afraid your wif
Hearing Sabrina refuse so directly, Sebastian did not get angry either. His tone was even more direct than hers. “You can choose not to go.”Sabrina: “…”“Then don’t blame me for being ruthless towards Aino and your mother!” His tone was calm and indifferent. “You!” Sabrina sat up immediately. “Sebastian Ford, you’re not even human! You jerk! You cold-blooded beast!” Because Sabrina was too agitated, when she suddenly sat up, she forgot that she was actually naked. When she sat up suddenly like this, the natural silk quilt suddenly fell off her shoulders. Her dark messy hair covered her small face, merely half the size of a palm. At that moment, her big watery eyes held two crystal teardrops, making her look even more pitiful. Her skin that was exposed after the quilt fell from her shoulders made her look especially tender and delicate. Sebastian, who had just entered the room, was stunned for a moment. He was stunned because he saw the marks left behind by his hands. The bruises
Did it hurt? He did not say anything, continuing to clean her shallow flesh wounds. And now he was helping her get dressed. With his current actions, he acted as if he was her lover, her simp, returning to his image as a good father and loving husband. Who was he? Which one was the real him? At that moment, Sabrina was very confused. In her confusion, Sebastian had already got her dressed. After carrying her off the bed, he said to her in his deep and mellow voice, “I know the friction might hurt your feet, so don’t wear heels today, so just wear some flats.”She answered mechanically, “Okay.” Then she mechanically walked into the bathroom and washed her face. When she emerged from the bathroom, her tiny face was smooth and clean, without a hint of powder on it. Her hair, on the other hand, was tied up into a bun at the top of her head. However, her complexion was so pale that Sebastian could not help himself and took another peek at her. She immediately asked, “Do you have
"You… Jennie Gibson! Why are you calling me again? Call one more time and I will go straight to the police to file a report for harassment!"Sabrina stared blankly at her mother while Sebastian scowled.However, Jennie was not at all enraged or agitated. Her tone remained calm as she said, "Gloria, I'm guessing that your daughter is pretending and lying to you that nothing has happened. But do you know how miserable she feels deep down? No, you don't! You can refuse to come if you don't care about your daughter at all."Gloria immediately glanced over at Sabrina. She had not been paying much attention, but with closer inspection, she came to realize that her daughter's eyes were swollen, as though she had been crying for a long time."Harass me again and I'll call the police!" she warned before she hung up."Mom?" Sabrina looked frustrated. "Is Jennie Gibson causing you trouble?"Gloria comforted her with a smile. "A person like her can only rely on her cousin and her uncle-in-la
Her daughter had already gone through so much suffering. She could not watch as Sabrina became the prey to being ganged up against by so many people. No!Gloria immediately called Marcus.Meanwhile, Marcus was on the phone with Yvonne. "Yvonne, don't be mad. Once everything is over, I'll take you to Hong Kong for a trip and you can shop until you drop, okay?"Yvonne snorted. "How could I not get mad? Say, what's wrong with your grandpa? He just abandons his own kin and tortures them with everything he can think of. So, does he just like people better when they are not actually related to him? I think that your grandpa is really the most righteous man when it comes to his family, since he doesn't treat his own better than the others! Mm-hm! Your grandpa is truly one capable man that could bring justice to the world!" Yvonne mocked sarcastically.Her words rendered Marcus speechless with shame. Indeed, Yvonne had been speaking the truth. His grandfather had become a fool for the past
Ever since Gloria had been told off by Jennie in front of the Shaw residence's door about ten days ago, the old Master Shaw had not seen his daughter up until now. It seemed as though it had been ages since they last saw one another, and Gloria's expression was slightly complicated to the point that it was hard to tell if it was hatred; while the old Master Shaw looked calm, as though he did not know Gloria, to the point that enraged even Marcus."Grandpa! How could you come here with Aunt Jennie and Lori to participate in Sabrina's intervention??"The old Master Shaw was stunned at first, but then asked slowly, "Who? Whose intervention?"Marcus did not answer the old Master Shaw's question. He sighed and looked over to Jennie and Lori."Aunt Jennie, if you want to stay at our house, you should just do so peacefully and no one would have chased you out. My grandpa, my parents, and I all see you as a part of our family. But with that considered, shouldn't you talk to my grandpa abou
At night, she also did not have any nightmares because she was not used to sleeping in a different bed. Aino woke up the other morning with her grandmother right by her side and asked her, "Did you sleep next to me the entire time, Grandma?"Gloria shook her head gently. "No. I was worried that Aino might be scared to wake up alone, so I came here after I woke up this morning. Aino, try guessing what gift I have prepared for you.""Flowers! It's freshly picked flowers!" Aino beamed.Gloria had made Aino a flower crown early in the morning, and instantly, the little child no longer missed her mother or her father. She knew that her grandmother was doing everything she could to care for Aino, even better than her parents could and therefore, she could not help but want to get even closer to Gloria.Before her parents came to pick her up, Aino even told her grandmother that she would be staying with her every week to keep her company. Their bond had strengthened overnight. On her way
