"What?? Is there something you would like to say about my mother's death?" Sabrina questioned sharply. "There is no need for that, I will look into it myself! You should mind your own business, Mr. Lynn!"Sabrina had not mentioned that she wanted revenge, but it was enough to scare the daylights out of Lincoln."You should be fine. As long as you haven't betrayed your conscience, that is!" she added.Conscience? He couldn't afford to think of that. Seeing the way Sabrina stood in the middle of the hall in her beautiful dress and the crystal heels Sebastian put on for her, accompanied by her loving husband and daughter, his heart throbbed with excruciating pain. The pain intensified especially when he saw the adorable little girl Aino. It was the kind of pain that shook one to the core. He finally realized that Sabrina was exactly like a weed. She would not succumb to fire, nor would the rain kill her. All it would take was a wave of summer breeze and she would revive.He felt as th
Seeing that the old Master Shaw had closed his eyes, Sabrina sighed softly. Before she could speak, Marcus who was standing next to Yvonne shouted, "Sabrina!"She turned around to look at him and reassured him. "I know."Marcus knew that Sabrina was an understanding young woman, who would never seek out to harm someone aggressively. If she could let the Lynn Family go, it was likely that she wouldn't be too harsh to his grandfather. If he had to be completely honest, Marcus hated his grandfather for all the unjust acts he participated in against Sabrina. But at the same time, his heart ached at the sight of his grandfather being placed on the spot for all eyes to see. He could only look at Sabrina, silently pleading for her mercy.Sabrina turned back to look at the old Master Shaw and said, "Old Master Shaw, I just want to tell you that, we... I've never offended you in any way or tried to take anything away from your granddaughter. I might not have a father, but I was once my mother's
Next to the entrance, Marcus turned around and saw Mindy, still frozen in place where Selene once stood. She stood alone, her eyes socket sank deeply into her skin, giving her the resemblance of a sewer rat."You ugly troll! You were bullying my mommy at the door just now, why are you still here? Aren't you sisters with that other troll? She is already gone, why aren't you gone too?" Aino confronted her sharply within her great-grandfather's arms.Mindy couldn't respond in any way. She simply looked at Marcus with an unspoken plea in her eyes. Marcus, on the other hand, stared back fiercely. The judgment and contempt was undeniable in his eyes. Mindy's heart sank into despair at the realization that her cousin had lost any form of sympathy for her."Cousin Marcus..." she tried again."Don't call for me!" He rejected her plea in an instant.Tears welled up in Mindy's eyes as she struggled to call out again. "Grandpa Shaw..."The old Master Shaw didn't have the heart to ignore her.
Kingston nodded seriously. "Yes.""Do not tell Sabrina about this just yet," Sebastian commanded expressionlessly."I understand, Master Sebastian, but...Mrs. Ford said she wanted to go back to her hometown a few days ago, and now...""Everything will go as she planned. She hasn't been back for a long time now, it's normal that she wants to go pay a visit. I'll go with her, maybe then I'll be able to pick up some hints on this.""Yes, Master Sebastian! I'll take my leave now," said Kingston. Though his cousin was here as a guest, he still felt that it would be inappropriate for an assistant like him to remain in the hall unless he was summoned.After Kingston left, Sabrina leaned over to Sebastian curiously. "What happened?"Sebastian paused for a moment before explaining, "I asked Kingston to send the old Master Shaw and Marcus back. He came back to report to me that Marcus refused his offer and will send his grandfather home himself.""Oh...""Do you hate him?"Sabrina shrug
The lady wasn't lying. A beauty like her would look great in anything."Hehe! Aunty, I'm giving you my medicine candy!" Aino jumped up and down cheerfully and propped herself up, trying to deliver the candy into the lady's mouth.The lady instinctively blurted out, "Little princess, is this candy a soft one or a hard one?""It's hard on the outside and soft on the inside," Aino whispered mischievously.The lady instantly understood her intention and refused to become yet another victim of her prank. She placed the candy into her mouth gingerly and bit down. "Oh...it really is soft! Really sweet, too!""Hahaha! I wasn't tricking you, aunty!" Aino laughed smugly."Mm...very sweet!" The lady replied, and she wasn't simply referring to the candy. The Ford couple and their little princess had filled the air with sweetness from the way they interacted with one another. Though there had been incidents at the very beginning, the party ended on a good note.The family banquet had introd
Amused by the interaction, Kingston let out a laugh. He tried to hold it in but didn't manage to do so. He choked and started coughing hysterically, which woke the little princess who was deeply asleep just moments ago."Uncle Kingston, what are you laughing at?" Aino asked dazedly."I- I wasn't laughing, just coughing," Kingston explained, still trying to catch his breath."You are obviously coughing because of laughing too hard. Is there something funny? Tell me so I can laugh too."Kingston remained quiet as he tried to think of an excuse.But the little princess was determined. "Mommy, what was Uncle Kingston laughing about?"Sabrina blushed a crimson brighter than even the color one would see on melted metal. She buried her face into the crook of Sebastian's neck and refused to answer the question."Fine!" Aino lifted an eyebrow at her father wordlessly.Finally, Sebastian caved and answered, "Your mom said she is going to pamper me.""That's what Uncle Kingston was laughing about
"Mention his name in front of me again and I'll break his legs and throw him into a coursing river," Sebastian deadpanned.Both Sabrina and Kingston were stunned.Kingston glanced back helplessly and thought to himself, "Mrs. Ford, you...how could you...You have been with Master Sebastian for some time now, you know that he is a henpecked man, but how do you miss the fact that he also gets jealous very easily?"Sabrina gaped at the man next to him in disbelief. She couldn't comprehend the tenderness he showed towards her today, especially when he put her heels on for her for everyone to see. She felt like she was walking on clouds, wondering how it was possible for a man to be so gentle and caring. But at this moment, it was almost as though he was possessed by another spirit. No. This was his true self! The man who lovingly put her shoes on for her, who walked around with his arm wrapped around her waist and stood up for her was not him!Frustrated, Sabrina turned around and sulke
Tonight would be the night that he punished her. But instead of a punishment, it was more like a gift. In the end, even he himself didn’t know whether he was punishing her or the other way round. Perhaps it could be a reward, in a way?“Should I carry you to the bathroom for a shower?” he asked her gently.“No! I just showered.”After a few seconds, Sebastian said, “Come on, be a good girl. I haven’t showered yet.”“No!”Sebastian sighed. “Have you forgotten what you promised Yvonne and Ruth this morning? That you’ll bring Aino shopping with them. You are not allowed to go tomorrow if you continue to insist. So be a good girl.”Sabrina was speechless. How could he say that? She was so angry that she wanted to bite him hard on the shoulder, however, she was reluctant to bite him hard. In the end, she gave in and let him carry her to the bathroom.“Who said I can’t handle someone like you!” Sebastian teased. Sabrina wasn’t sure how to respond.“Turn over!” he ordered.“Hmph, I’m
