Sabrina turned around to look at Sebastian with eyes widened in awe.Sebastian's icy expression remained unwavering. "There is no possible way to take a driving lesson for someone as horrible as you, is there? A mere driving lesson can have you screaming at the top of your lungs, could you be held responsible if you end up bumping into someone or scaring people around you? Your life isn't worth that much, but my daughter cannot be motherless!"Sabrina knew the man was ruthless but she never truly expected him to be this mean. She gave up on the notion to argue as she knew she wouldn't win against the man, and instead changed the subject. "So...which of these trainers will be training me?""Me!" he scoffed.Once again, Sabrina found herself rendered speechless as she silently judged the man before her, thinking, ‘This guy just has too much money in his hand for him to spend twenty thousand just so that he can do stuff himself, what's wrong with him?’Sebastian was not fooled by her sile
The clothes that she was wearing had made her look like an innocent teenage girl who had been locked away in a tower for her entire life and was just introduced to the world. Sabrina chuckled sarcastically at her own thoughts, who would complement themselves in such a way?"Sabrina," she scolded herself mentally, "you can't allow yourself to lose yourself in this any longer. Look at you, you've forgotten all about Zayn, where is he right now? Is he doing okay?"Sabrina's expression darkened at the thought of Zayn. She did not want to think of Nigel, especially when she was called homewrecker repeatedly by Ruth Mann in the office. But at that very moment, she desperately wanted to see Nigel and ask him about the whereabouts of Zayn. After all, Nigel had promised to look for Zayn.With a heavy heart, she stepped out of the restroom. She did not see Sebastian waiting, but heard his chilling voice came from behind her."I hope for your sake that you are not thinking about another man! If y
The woman who saw Sabrina was one of the staff in the company she was currently working at, an admin for the human Resources department called Windy Sand. Windy was rather close to Linda in the office."You know that woman?" Windy's boyfriend asked."Just a new designer in our firm. She crawled her way up into being one of the top-dogs despite having just joined for two weeks," Windy replied, envy and despise filled her voice."She doesn't seem like an ordinary woman." Her boyfriend's tone was less personal but more matter-of-fact. "Otherwise she wouldn't have the power to get the place cleared up just so she can take her driving lesson.""Ha! She isn't that special! She just got lucky that Master Ryan took interest in her, that doesn't make her any less ordinary! Though...it doesn't seem like it's Master Ryan who's teaching her drive, Master Ryan isn't that tall." The distance had made it difficult for Windy to see Sebastian's face, but she wouldn't be able to identify him even if she
"Sure," he nodded without hesitation. Sebastian could tell that she was tired so he was willing to comply if she wanted to head home.Upon arriving home at two in the afternoon, however, Sabrina was not greeted by Aunt Lewis's steaming stew as she was expected. This was usually that time when Aunt Lewis would be cleaning the house, but she was nowhere to be found.They immediately called Aunt Lewis, only to find out that she was at the amusement park with their little princess Aino."Master Sebastian..." Aunt Lewis was taken by surprise when she got the call from Sebastian and explained hastily, "I...I had no idea that you would be coming home for lunch this afternoon. You...you did not mention anything, you see. Assistant Yates was very certain that you and Mrs. Ford will not be coming home for lunch, so he called me over to keep the little princess company. He said there had to be a woman around to take the little princess to the ladies' room whenever she needed.""Fine, keep Aino co
Sabrina felt her stomach sink at his expression and asked, "What- what's wrong?"He did not respond to Sabrina's question, but instead casted a sidelong glance over at her before reaching to pull the entire plate of bream towards him, with no intention of saving any for Sabrina.Sabrina was dumbfounded by his action. Ruthless, merciless, vicious, domineering, mean, those were the words she had used to describe the man before but it wasn't until today that she realized that he was also the kind of man that would compete with a woman over food, the food she had made herself, no less.The entire dish was devoured within a blank of an eye right before her. There were only bones and soup left on the plate.‘Was the bream that spicy?’ she thought, as she observed the sweat that formed on Sebastian's forehead.Sebastian finished the entire fish and two bowls of rice along with it, before looking over at Sabrina with a satisfied expression and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Remember to bri
‘Help him get dressed?’ Sabrina couldn't help but repeat those words in her mind again. She had never helped a man get dressed before. She wouldn't even know where to start, but seeing that he was waiting with both of his arms raised in the air, she complied and took the top of the pajamas in hand. First through the left shoulder, and then the right shoulder, with both of his arms into the sleeves, all that was left was to button it up. She realized she was standing extremely close to him as she was doing so, so much so that she was practically leaning into his skin. She could smell the shower gel from him and was not surprised how chilly his body was. The man seemed to enjoy cold showers despite it being winter at the time, after all. Pretty soon, his skin became boiling hot under her fingers, and it felt as though electricity had run through her body from the tip of her finger when it accidently connected with the man's skin. She immediately retracted her hands before continuing wi
Sabrina shook her head decisively. She knew her place and would never attempt to overstep the boundaries. Sebastian might have treated her with care by teaching her how to drive and taking her to register for a marriage certificate. They were sleeping in the same bed every night and were practically a married couple in real life, but still, Sabrina did not consider herself anyone important to Sebastian. In her mind, he was likely treating her with respect simply because she was the mother of his child, and any affection she had received so far was merely a reflection to how much Sebastian loved his daughter.Sabrina thought it was below her to try and be anything that she wasn't. Back when she was a child living under the Lynn Family's roof, she wasn't given much to eat. She never had the chance to try any sort of candies or snacks but Serene was never deprived of those. She would often make a point to devour those snacks in front of Sabrina, but Sabrina would never bother with her or
Sabrina stepped into the walk-in closet and instantly faced the struggle of deciding what to wear. Sebastian had bought countless outfits for her, most of which were from luxury brands, but who was she to dress grandly to the Ford Residence? The mother of Aino Scott? Her train of thoughts was then interrupted when she remembered Sebastian's reminder for her to dress prettier, that was the moment when she knew she had to dress up even if it was just for her daughter's sake. A visit to the Ford Residence was different from a normal day at work and she had to focus on being presentable for Aino.Sabrina picked out an outfit according to her favorite style: a white turtleneck cashmere sweater along with a long leather shirt with an orange tone. The cuttings were rather common, but when put together, they somehow created a contradiction between innocence and character. It gave her a look that was both elegant and simple, with a hint of the alluring charm of a mature woman. She then went ah
