Aino asked, “... Uncle Kingston, what does killing two birds with one stone mean?” After all, the little girl’s vocabulary was still not developed fully yet.Kingston replied, “It means…” Just as he was about to explain it to the little princess, he noticed the cold expression on his young master’s face from the rear view mirror. He immediately kept his mouth shut.Kingston had learned how to read his master’s expression well, but the princess did not seem to have that skill. When she saw that Kingston had not answered her question, the little girl turned to her Stinky Dad and rolled her eyes, asking, “Let me ask you then, what does killing two birds with one stone mean?”At that moment, Aino no longer relied on her father’s embrace like she did back at the old residence. In fact, she did not even feel like calling him daddy now that it was just the two of them. She even felt a bit angry for some reason. Even when her father was such a fierce person, there were so many women out th

Sabrina did not know how to respond to the question she was asked.The sentence itself made no sense!She asked, “What pendant? You’ve only given me clothes to wear for the past few days but not jewelry.” Was he trying to extort her?She did not steal any pendant of his!Sebastian’s frigid tone did not change. “I’m asking about the pendant from six years ago!”This left Sabrina speechless.Before she left South City six years ago, she had left that pendant together with Aunt Grace’s remains. Sabrina had wanted the pendant to symbolise herself, and so she left it there to keep Aunt Grace company. At that point, it was the only thing that Sabrina could do for her.After pausing for a moment, Sabrina said, “I would have forgotten about it if you hadn’t brought it up. I tried to return it to you six years ago, but you didn’t accept it then. You even said that I should be the one to keep it since your mother gave it to me, so why do you suddenly want it back now?”At that moment,

That little one was really fearless. In the two years she spent in the kindergarten at Ciarrai county, she had fought with countless little boys.Of course, Aino had only fought with other kids when they mocked her for not having a father or insulted her mother.Aino would valiantly defeat the other kid every single time.After having fought kids in kindergarten, now she actually provoked an adult?Sabrina broke out in a cold sweat.How complicated was this world of adults? It was definitely not something a five year old like Aino could understand. Her child was still small, so regardless of how fierce or bold she was, she could still never defeat an adult in intelligence or strength.Sabrina was mainly worried about her daughter’s safety. She scolded through the phone, “Aino! Let me tell you, if you ever harm an adult again, I will make sure to beat your butt until it's sore! I won’t want you anymore!”Aino was shocked at her mother’s harsh words and even started to cry. She

Marcus Shaw was much more mature now than he had been six years ago, and had a scholarly look. Sabrina was reminded of all the assistance that he had provided her with as she had been fleeing from South City back then. Even as she left the rental home to stop Sebastian from getting married, Marcus had been there to help her. As Sabrina looked into Marcus’ eyes, she realized how gentle and kind they were.He started to ask, "Sabrina, are you okay? I know Sebastian was the one who captured and brought you back here, but my family has started to monitor me more strictly recently. Thus if I had approached you carelessly, it would only have provoked Sebastian even more, which is why I didn’t attempt to contact you all this time. So tell me, how are you doing now?“How has Sebastian been treating you...""Very good." Sabrina replied with just two words.She merely smiled at Marcus without explaining anything. Even when she was thankful to someone, Sabrina had always been one to keep

The relationship that Sabrina had with the Lynn family had always served as a painful memory for her. It was a scar that she did not wish to reveal so easily. However, it was by no means something to be ashamed of. Despite Marcus’ invitation, Sabrina did not go with him to the coffee shop. Both of them now stood on the main road outside the entrance of the company. Sabrina had planned to give him a simple account of her relationship with the Lynn family, because she wanted to go home quickly to find out what Aino had done at the Ford household."Before turning twelve, I lived in my hometown, which was on the outskirts of a small county. My parents made a living there by growing vegetables in greenhouses. During the slack season, my dad would also deliver goods at a warehouse.“When I was ten years old, my dad, while working at the warehouse, was crushed to death when some of the goods fell onto him. During that same period, my mother became ill and did not recover for the entire

Marcus was left speechless.He didn't know how to console the girl standing in front of him and could only share her pain in his heart. Right at that moment, it started to rain, as if on cue.The rain grew heavier within a few seconds .Sabrina raised her arms to protect her head from the rain, but Marcus immediately pulled her into the building lobby on the first floor.As the two steadied themselves, Marcus took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Cindy, come help me bring the documents up."Sabrina said nothing. Wasn’t Marcus planning to go upstairs? Why would he call someone down here to come pick up his documents?Shortly after, a beautiful woman in professional attire and high heels arrived at the lobby. Marcus then passed the woman some files and instructed, "Tell your director that I won't be going upstairs. There’s some matters that I have to attend to here.""Yes, Director Shaw,” replied the woman with a smile before heading back upstairs.Marcus turned his att

“I’ll never do it again.“If you need any money in the future, no matter how much it is, you can always come find me.“Don’t allow yourself to suffer alone.Sabrina accepted the name card, saying “Thank you, Young Master Shaw.”She did not really want the name card, so what was the point of accepting it? Sabrina and her daughter were already with Sebastian, so they would not need to worry about money in the future. Furthermore, she had also found a job, which she decided to dedicate her time to and make money from it.She did not need to rely on anyone else anymore.However, seeing as Marcus had helped her before, she did not want to step on Marcus’s dignity by rejecting the card.Just as she was reaching for the card, a car stopped behind the two of them. Marcus and Sabrina both turned their attention to the car.Sabrina’s expression suddenly changed.Why was it such a coincidence that Sebastian had arrived home just at that moment?For some reason, Sabrina was scared that t

Kingston, Marcus and Sabrina were all shocked.Marcus tried to protect Sabrina behind him, while looking at Sebastian in horror. “Sebastian… Come at me if you have any problems, just don’t lay a finger on Sabrina. After all, she’s given birth to a daughter for you.“If… you want to kill someone, let it be me.”Sebastian did not respond. Instead, he simply took off his tie and unbuttoned the top of his shirt. In a moment, that muscular body of his was exposed to Marcus.He then said in an unemotional voice, “What were you thinking? The car was a bit stuffy which made me feel hot, so I undid my buttons to cool down for a bit.”Marcus felt relieved. “Oh… Sebastian, you… your neck, how did it get injured?”“Oh, I was injured by a wild cat.” Sebastian replied casually.Both Kingston and Sabrina were still frozen in place.Sabrina’s face had turned so red that she looked away from everyone there, and focused on rubbing Aino’s hair.Kingston’s tongue was tied as he thought to himself
