“Mom, something was not right with you and Dad.” Aino was very good at reading people.Sabrina asked gently, “What’s wrong?”Was something not right with her and Sebastian? When was something ever right between them?They had never been like a normal couple.Should a normal couple not be joking and laughing with each other, sometimes happy, sometimes fight and argue, but most of the time would make amends with each other?However, what about them?She spoke very little, and he did not talk much.She could not guess what was in his mind.She did not know how he would question her next.However, all of that did not matter to Sabrina.On the other hand, the little lady, Aino, said mysteriously to Sabrina, “Mom, do you have a boyfriend outside?”Sabrina was stunned, then she was so exasperated by her daughter that she laughed. “Little thing! How did you know so much at such a young age! What boyfriend? Do you even know what “boyfriend” means? Ah? You little illiterate!”Aino po
“Other than these words, don’t you have other things to say to your man?” The man was acting strange.His tone sounded as if he was scolding her.However, it also sounded like flirting between a husband and wife.He had never spoken to her with such a tone before. Sabrina could not guess what he was thinking, so she lowered her voice slightly and said, “Were you asking me why I would show up at the café with Nigel today?”The man asked her, “Did you want to explain?”Sabrina said, “I don’t.” If she even did, he would not listen, and he would not believe it either. Once, six years ago, they had many misunderstandings between them during the two months when she was taking care of Grace.She tried to explain, but he never gave her a chance.Therefore, she stopped explaining later.The man said, “Then don’t explain.”Sabrina agreed, “Mm.”She asked again, “May I… May I go to my room now?”With a sweeping motion, the man carried her in his arms instead. “You… Didn’t we just…l
He was once abroad for so many years. He had also gone through fire and water as he was a part of the special forces for more than a decade. He had perfected a steel-like determination. Would he still be afraid of being tickled by his own woman?Sabrina, on the other hand, still looked calm, lonely, and silent on the surface while she was only a pitiful girl wrapped up in many layers after six years.The man sneered. He abruptly got up, hugged her and suddenly started to tickle her underarms.“Oh…” The woman could not stop laughing at once.He only cautioned her not to make a sound this late at night, so she would not disturb their surrounding neighbors’ rest. She also did not dare to laugh out loud and struggled significantly. She could only stuff herself in his embrace to hide. She shamelessly clung onto his strong waist with both hands to prevent his sneak attacks and stuck against his body like an octopus without budging.The man’s arms also followed along and hugged her tig
Sabrina was lying in Sebastian’s arms and did not move. She passively listened to him as he communicated with the other person on the phone. “I know. I would arrange a time to bring her to try it on.”“If there should be any good rubies in the future, keep it too.”“Her fingers are very thin. I’ll bring her to be sized, and we will see.”All the exchanges made on the phone were about “her”.Who could “she” be?Could it be her, Sabrina?A thought flashed past, and Sabrina could not help it and laughed at herself. ‘You’re overthinking.’The man hung up the phone and put it back on top of the bedside table. He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. The woman’s smooth yet messy hair spread across his chest, which made her palm-size face even smaller to the point that it was almost invisible.She shut her eyes tightly, and her long and curled eyelashes twitched a little. He could tell that she was not asleep. However, she seemed so calm. She was so calm that sh
#She instantly blushed like a ripened tomato.However, she was beyond annoyed. “It was you! It was all because of you! You had to take off all the clothes every time we slept. You took them off even if we did not do that kind of activity. I… I was in a hurry, and I had forgotten all about it! You were so nasty!”She did not care for anything else but raised her hand and stripped the shirt, which he had on but had not buttoned yet, off him. She managed to take it off with just a few moves, and she put it on herself immediately. She messily buttoned the shirt up and ran out in embarrassment. The man was speechless.He was not slandering her to say that she was a robber. She truly was addicted to wearing his shirts. It looked like he had to order a few more shirts in the future. The man took another shirt from the closet and put it on. He wore his tie, pants, and suit. When he came out neatly dressed, Sabrina and Aino had already been sitting at the dining table. The family o
“I wouldn’t be as unreasonable as you!” The man shut his eyes to rest after saying that.Sabrina did not say anything, and she suddenly smiled.She did not smile much. Kingston had not seen the madam smile before. However, when she smiled, it was still the same as six years ago. It was just as sweet. It was just as neat. She still seemed calm, straightforward, aloof and was a person with a few words just like six years ago. However, deep in her heart, she was a girl who would sparkle if you gave her a little warm light. “Madam, should I send you to the company?” asked Kingston. Sabrina nodded. “Mmm, thank you, Assistant Yates.”“It’s my duty, Madam.” Kingston turned the car around and headed towards the direction of the company where Sabrina worked.When they arrived at the company, she still had ten minutes before she had to clock in. After getting out of the car, Sabrina looked up at the bright sun and smiled even brighter. Everything was still just as good. She d
Yvonne immediately said anxiously, “However, Sabrina, no matter what anybody had said about you, I would never believe them! I guess you had no relationship with Nigel at all, and things between the both of you were innocent. There was nothing at all. If there were any rumors, then it must have been that playboy Nigel who came onto you, right? My guess must be right!”“It must absolutely be it!”Yvonne’s extremely determined tone made Sabrina particularly touched.Sabrina looked at Yvonne with gratitude. “Yvonne, why did you believe me so firmly?”“Of course!” said Yvonne proudly. She continued to say, “If it was in terms of family background, Master Ryan’s background in Kidon City is much better than the Conor family now. Who did the Conor family think they were? The Conor family was still considered as among the top tier in South City six years ago, but now, the Conor family almost had nothing left after being acquired by the Ford Group. People in the entire South City were sti
Sabrina and Yvonne turned around and saw Ruth, who they had not seen in days.Ruth had a furious expression. “What a good saying, a person who had done nothing wrong would not be afraid of the shadows. My cousin-in-law came looking for you immediately after his flight landed, and he did it in front of the whole company without hiding at all. You were saying a person who had done nothing wrong would not be afraid of the shadows instead. Sabrina, nobody would believe what you had said”Sabrina was beyond impatient. “Why would I say that to nobody?”“That’s right! Why would Sabrina say that to nobody?” Yvonne angrily retaliated against Ruth verbally and defended Sabrina like a fan. Yvonne used to be afraid of Ruth, but things are different now.She saw that Sabrina was not afraid of Ruth at all, and Sabrina even drove Ruth out of the company in one fell swoop, so Yvonne felt proud and elated herself. What was so great about Ruth?She only got in by relying on her cousins’ honor!
