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
Sabrina swallowed and considered for a moment how Sebastian could be so insatiable. They had only done it the night before and he was already more than eager to do it again the very next morning? It was early in the morning and Aunt Lewis was feeding Aino her breakfast. If he really intended to take her right there and then in the walk-in closet, she might as well jump from the window and die before having to face the embarrassment afterward."Sebastian, please. I am the mother of your child. You might not care about me but at least consider your daughter for a moment here, don't you care about her?" Sabrina was at the brink of crying and pleaded, "What if she hears us? Or sees us? What would she think? At least think about how that would affect her impression on you, okay? The windows are wide open and people from the outside will see us..."Sebastian's hands stopped abruptly. "I don't care if the windows are open." His voice was hoarse and filled with desire, "There isn't anyone ar
“Sure!” The man replied in a clear-cut manner. Sabrina did not know what to say. However, immediately after that, Sebastian said again, “If you wished for Zayn to die in a foreign land.” Sabrina immediately looked at Sebastian with her eyes widened, “Zayn? My brother. Where is my brother now? You…Would you tell me where my brother is? You…” “He’s not dead.” The man only uttered three brief and straightforward words. He knew Sabrina had wanted to ask him about Zayn recently. However, every time the words almost came out of her mouth, she would swallow them back because she was afraid her inquiry would cost Zayn his life. Although she was very worried about Zayn, she had never asked about him. However, Sebastian knew that she had always been concerned about Zayn. If it were any other man besides Zayn, Sebastian might have already torn that man into a million pieces. However, throughout the past six years, Sabrina, Aino, and Zayn lived and depended on each other. If Zayn d
The man let out a burst of manic laughter and hugged Sabrina even tighter. He could truly feel her flushing hot cheeks pressed against his chest. His tone also became extremely gentle, “Go, pick out a pretty dress for your daughter. We need to leave already.”Sabrina spoke with an involuntary flirting tone. “Tell me, which one is the true you?”The man smiled in a laid-back manner. “When you only have me in your heart, then that would be the truest me.”What was that!There was no logic to it at all!She could not understand it!She did not have him in her heart.Since the first time she met him six years ago, and from the time she felt that he was the same person as the man who took her first time away, she already had him in her heart. However, she had dignity and a sense to protect herself. The harm she suffered did not allow her to open her heart to any man again. She would rather be indifferent for the rest of her life and have her heart wrapped in a pitiful shell than
Aino would never allow any woman to violate her mother’s territory. Sabrina was still distracted. “Mmm.”As she chatted on and off with her daughter, the family of three arrived at the Ford residence.It was the third time Sabrina came here. The first time was the day she was released from prison. She was brought here by Sebastian in a confused state. She remembered the maid quarters at the backyard of the Ford residence. A ravine with a stream was behind the backyard, and the ravine was the type that one could reach the deep bottom of the mountain following the vines. Sabrina could not help it and sighed in her heart when she thought about these. The Ford family truly was rich. They built such a magnificent mansion at this place near the mountain top. They could ascend to a height to enjoy a distant view, and it was also impossible for others to rob the house as the ravine was behind them. They were truly rich and wealthy. The maids who frequently went in and out of the ma
Sabrina turned her head around and saw an unfamiliar woman. “What were you doing? Trespassing private residences. Were you not afraid that we would break you into pieces?” The woman scolded Sabrina harshly.The woman's skin was coarse and tan, and she was wearing an apron. However, the look of contempt with a sense of superiority deep within her bones made Sabrina uncomfortable. The woman was clearly dressed as a maid, but she was indeed a bold and confident maid. There was a saying that being a maid for a wealthy family had more power, status, wealth and rights to speak than a small boss or manager who opened a tiny stall. Sabrina had just watched a periodic drama not long ago.In the drama, there was a prince who was the King’s brother. When the prince met a minister who had power in the palace, the minister did not greet the prince, and it was the prince who gave way for the minister to pass through. The prince's little follower was angry and muttered to the prince, “You a
“Helma, what’s wrong? What happened? Don’t let Madam hear you shouting. Madam had not been in a good mood recently. Also, there are important guests in the house today,” Another maid kindly reminded Helma. Helma sneered instead. “Lyann, you could tell who this woman was, right? The dirty and smelly woman that our Young Master Ford brought back from prison six years ago. We were the ones who bathed her back then. She was all smelling and was covered in bruises from being with men.”Lyann was instantly surprised, “Her!”“It’s her! Look at her, she is more decent now compared to back then, but she’s still a mess. I don’t know how she broke in. I guess the gatekeeper had dozed off, and this woman took advantage of it.” The contempt in Helma’s tone and the gaze towards Sabrina was as if she hated dirty stray dogs and cats.Lyann was even worse. “Hey, that might not be necessarily true. Perhaps this woman was involved with a certain male servant at our mansion, especially the old male s
Sabrina’s expression was very calm. “I had already slapped you.”Helma flew into a rage out of humiliation. “Lyann! Call for backup. Call all of our people over. If I did not strip off all the clothes of this female prisoner today and let everyone in the Ford residence see what kind of goods she had, then I would not be called Helma!”Lyann said, “I’ll go call them now!”“Stand still!” Kingston’s harsh voice came from the back.Helma and Lyann immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Once they saw it was Sebastian’s personal assistant, both the maids immediately put on their smiling faces and said courteously, “Mr Yates, it’s you. Quickly come and have a look at this woman. She was the person from six years ago…”“Greet the Young Mistress!” Kingston said.Helma said, “Young…Wh…What?”“Greet the Young Mistress and apologize to her. Whether the Young Mistress would forgive you or not is another matter. However, if Master Sebastian found out about this matter, do you know
