"What- what did you just say?" Sabrina blinked blankly. She couldn't believe what she had just heard, but at the same time, she knew that there was nothing wrong with her hearing. She also knew that Sebastian rarely joked around, in fact, he never did. Did he just say that he was going to put her shoes on for her in front of everyone? She took a step back and stuttered, "Se- Sebastian, quit joking around."Sabrina was not that dramatic of a woman to have a man help her into her shoes, not to mention to have that done in public. What would people think?He looked at her in all seriousness and said, "You know I don't joke around!"Sabrina swallowed.Aino gave her mother a push and urged, "Mommy! Hurry up already!""Aino Scott!" Sabrina hissed.Aino continued to push her mother forward as she imitated the tone of an adult and said, "Mommy, even I couldn't get daddy to put on my shoes for me before. Every time I ask him to, he would say that I need to learn to do things myself and th
She had never felt more special or more loved in her entire life, and she felt lightheaded with a lump in her throat. "Sebastian...""Do they fit?" he asked again."Yes! They fit so, so well!" Sabrina was beaming like a little girl.He proceeded to slip the other one on. "Stand up and take a few steps."She did as told, and realized that all it took was a good pair of heels for a woman to fall in love with them. She strolled up and down confidently as though she was a model on a runway, her heart fluttering with excitement and joy. Abruptly, she turned around with her chin up and asked, "Do I look even taller than you in these?""Keep dreaming!" he snorted.Sabrina giggled. It was the most enchanting smile Sebastian had ever seen on her, and at the same time, the most humiliated the Lynn Family and the old Master Shaw had ever felt.Selene nails were digging into her palm as she clenched her fists in frustration. Blood was streaming down her fist without her noticing. Her black e
With black and red smudges all over her face, Selene forced a smile and looked up at Sebastian. "Do...do tell.""When I accompanied my wife Sabrina to pick out her gown, we were unaware that you had made a reservation on this simplistic style dress from Sloane as well. Sloane has a policy against disclosing any personal information of their clients, but my wife had her eyes on this dress, so we told the staff we would like to take the simplistic style dress in exchange with the diamond embroidered one she originally had, as a sort of compensation directly from the Director of Ford group Sebastian Ford."Selene's eyes widened. Sebastian turned around to look at the shop assistant who delivered the heels and asked, "Isn't that exactly what I said four days ago?""Yes, Mr. Ford," the shop assistant replied deferentially, "that was what we told Ms. Selene Lynn here as well, we are not entirely sure how she managed to interpret that the dress was specifically picked out for her by you.
It truly was a wonder to anyone how the eighty years old man could withstand so much. What most people were not aware of was that the old Master Shaw had always been fit as a fiddle since he was young. During his hospitalization in Kidon City, Sebastian had consulted with the doctor regarding his condition and was informed that the old man was healthy. He did it all for his granddaughter. He insisted on taking his granddaughter with him to Kidon City in fear that she might be exposed to Sebastian's cruelty."My grandson is right here in the Ford Residence. Why would you need my permission to release him if you really want to?" the old Master Shaw responded sheepishly to Sebastian's question."That's right," Sebastian chuckled and commanded the butler. "Go! Release the young Master Shaw!"The butler nodded frantically in response. "Ye-yes, Master Sebastian! I'll have it done right away!""Hang on!" Sebastian barked.Frightened , the butler turned back hesitantly. "Master Sebastian?"
Sabrina did not waver at the old Master Shaw's ferocious roar. She simply looked at him calmly with sorrow beyond deion in her voice as she responded, "So I'm guessing that the old Master Shaw has something on me, then? You wouldn't have the nerves to be this forceful otherwise, would you?""And I am guessing you already know what I have on you?" he deadpanned."No, I don't, actually."What could he possibly do to hurt her? What a joke! Even if he claimed to have proof, it could only be fabricated. It wasn't the first thing someone tried to frame her for something she didn't do, it happened so often that Sabrina had gotten used to it. Quoting a famous movie star, 'all pain is tolerable when it becomes a habit'. Indeed, pain had become her constant companion."Sabrina Scott, you vixen! I'll have to admit that you are resourceful! Not only did you enslave the hearts of Nigel Conor and my Marcus, you were the reason why that Smith boy went missing! Apart from that, you managed to craw
In the end, she had fallen in love with him, and he had broken her into pieces. She became a single mother and was constantly running from danger throughout the six years, until he had found her. She had lost the courage to love. She sealed her heart away and thought that she would never love another again. She couldn't bear the possibility of getting hurt again. Still, she fell in love with the same man all over again, to the point that there was no denying."I do!" Sabrina said decisively. Sebastian stared at her."If you love him, why would you sell the extremely valuable bracelet that his mother gave you?" Old Master Henry challenged.The bracelet Grace owned originated from the Ford Family as well. They had felt that they failed her and gave her the emerald bracelet. Grace must have genuinely considered Sabrina as her daughter-in-law to have given her something so precious. And did Sabrina treasure the bracelet as it should have been? If she truly loved Sebastian, why wasn't sh
Tears were streaming down Sabrina's cheeks as her expression slowly became stern. With the sky-blue dress she wore and the crystal shoes on her feet, she looked like a fairy that was out of this world. She swallowed before explaining with a hoarse voice, "Back when Aunt Grace only had a month left to live, there was a family banquet here at the Ford Residence for you to select a woman of high status as your wife from the invited guests. Aunt Grace had wanted desperately to attend the banquet and see the Residence with her own eyes. It had been her biggest dream to move into the Ford Residence, even for just a day. She once said that she could die happy if only the Ford Family acknowledged her as one of them to the public. Aunt Grace knew that she was bound to her sick bed and would not be able to attend the banquet, so she begged me to take a few pictures of the Ford Residence to show her. But I had forgotten to bring the camera with me that day. I never got to fulfill her request, and
Back when they were living in Ciarrai County, she had fought with countless children her age despite being smaller in size than most of them. She had instilled fear in the hearts of many, boys and girls, and had plenty of experience in fighting. Aino raised her arm as she spoke and the beautifully crafted slingshot she was holding came into sight. She lifted the slingshot high in the air and placed a bullet-like item onto it, before gritting her teeth and firing fiercely."Aino!" Sabrina screamed. She couldn't tell who Aino was aiming at. What would happen if she accidentally hurt someone? The next second, she saw a splash of water on Selene's face.The water combined with the mess that was already on Selene's face and made it messier than ever. Unknowingly, she thought that she had been hit by something lethal and wailed, "Don't hit me, don't kill me!""Hmph!" Aino snorted smugly. "What a scaredy-cat!"The slingshot was a gift from her Uncle Kingston. Instead of rocks, which could
