Chapter 80
Sabrina was speechless.She glanced over at Sebastian, her expression still calm.Lincoln was still speaking on the other end. “You’d better get over here right this instant! If you don’t come over, I’ll make sure you regret it!”“Okay,” she said calmly.Kingston and Sebastian stared at her as she hung up.“That…” Sabrina twiddled her fingers. “In the afternoon I came over to visit Aunt Grace right after delivering some things to a construction site without heading back to the company. The supervisor wants me back there now... It wasn’t easy for me to find this job.”“We’ll get the clothes tomorrow,” Sebastian said.Sabrina sighed in relief. “Thank you, I’ll be off.”“Let Kingston send you.”“No… No need,” Sabrina said as she looked back, “my workplace is just nearby.”With that, she hurried away.After getting on the bus and leaving the hospital, Sabrina dialled back Lincoln. “I don’t owe you anything!”“You’ve stolen my daughter’s husband!” Lincoln barked viciously.Sabr

Sabrina did not know what to say.Sebastian liked to be alone, so Sabrina usually had her meals outside. This was also why Aunt Tianna rarely came over.She had not expected to find her waiting for her in the dining room.Aunt Tianna smiled as she brought out a small pot from the kitchen, walking as she said, “This chicken was brought over fresh from my village, and It’s been stewing for an entire afternoon. Try it, it’s heated and fresh off the cooker.”Sabrina smiled. “Okay, thank you Aunt Tianna.”She had not eaten home cooked food for a long time, and a stewed chicken would be very good for the child in her belly.She was also very hungry.Caught up in her quarrel with Lincoln, she had not noticed at all.The fulfilling dinner satisfied her well. She had initially been feeling dejected, but thanks to the food as well as the way Sebastian had treated her throughout the day, she slept soundly for the first time in quite a while.When she awoke the next day, Sabrina was hesit

Sebastian was different. She was cold, but he was a league above.It was as if she was nothing but thin air. The man had not even spared a glance at her.Sabrina had started tugging at the corner of her shirt unconsciously, lost in thought. Right at that moment, Sebastian abruptly turned before asking, “Mind if I take a smoke?”Sabrina crumpled up the corner of her shirt, caught off guard. Quickly nodding, she agreed, “Okay.”The man opened the window before taking out a cigarette and lighting it. Doing everything in one smooth motion, he took a leisurely puff as the cigarette reached his mouth. Sabrina realized that he was not exhaling the cigarette smoke.As she was watching, stunned, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that it wasn’t that he did not exhale, but rather than blowing out the smoke, he had gently let it escape from his nostrils, purposefully directing it out of the window.As for the man himself, he maintained a calm and composed, unmoving look.It was t

Sabrina’s sharp cry had only been half completed before it was muffled by Sebastian’s embrace. The man had an arm wrapped tightly around her, his chest covering her eyes so that she couldn’t see anything.It gave her a sense of security that she had never felt before.Following that, she felt his large hands cover her ears.Four to five muffled bangs sounded, reminding her of fireworks.Her grip on the man unconsciously tightened.She felt the hands on her ears move away as she heard a voice commanding Kingston, “Drive.”The engine roared as the car started up.Sabrina slowly emerged from the man’s embrace. Her face was a burning red, and she did not dare to face Sebastian at all. Stealing a glance at the rear view mirror, she noticed the body of a man collapsed on the ground where their car had been earlier.She knew that the muffled, firework-like sounds from earlier were actually gunshots.Unwittingly, she turned to look at the man.His expression remained calm and compose

Jade, who was beside them, also wore a look of intense hatred as she hit her husband on his shoulder. “Lincoln, didn’t you talk to her yesterday?”Lincoln’s expression was dark, his eyes so full of hatred it looked like he was wishing to kill Sabrina with just a gaze. “I did, and that evil girl actually challenged me. It seems like she’s hardened her wings now that she has Sebastian to support her!”“If only we had that woman in our hands, Sabrina would be forced to kneel down before us!” Jade spoke through clenched teeth as she asked Lincoln, “You’ve spent so much money getting those private detectives to investigate the whereabouts of that woman, have they gotten any leads?”Lincoln could only sigh.He did not answer, but Jade and Selene could tell from his tone that there did not seem to be much hope.Seeing the pained and hateful looks on his wife and daughter, Lincoln felt a twinge of guilt and anger. “We definitely need to find that woman. No matter how much I have to spend,

Sabrina’s face lit up.This was a new model, the best laptop that was specialized for design work. Being so thin and beautiful, how could she not like it?To her, laptops were even more of a luxury than cameras. At the very least, within the last half year, or the last year, or even the last two years, she had never even considered buying a laptop.“I… I… I like it.” The usually cold Sabrina could not calm herself down. She had not even finished speaking before she started to gulp.She was a little disappointed in herself.Sabrina unwittingly scratched her head. She was unable to stop herself from pursing her lips and smiling as she said, “Am I not a bit stupid?”Sebastian was speechless. He had never seen her like this before. She was finally acting like a twenty year old now. The way she smiled was silly and sweet, resembling an innocent baby.The man did not answer, merely pushing the laptop toward Sabrina as he said, “Keep it.” Then he left.With his bathrobes still on, S

Sabrina woke up very early the next morning, knocking on the door. Looking at her, Sebastian had to pause for a second. Her face seemed to be full of vigor as she raised her head to look at him. “The laptop is very useful, and it’s very fast. The software in it is all meant for design, and they’ve all been really good. Thank you. This notebook is so much more useful than the clothes you’ve bought for me.“What I wanted to say is, even if you didn’t sign that contract with me, I would still marry you. I would still call Aunt Grace my mother, and I would still be by her side in her last moments.“From today onward, you don’t have to fulfil the contract for my sake.“Thank you again, I’ll be going to work now.“Oh, right. If you’re busy, you don’t have to hurry over to see Aunt Grace in the mornings, I take care of her well enough on my own.“I’ll be off.”Saying that, she turned around and left.Sebastian was left speechless. He had thought she was cold and aloof, lacking in y

Selene’s crying on the other end of the line had grown into a wail. “Young Master Sebastian, I won’t bother you anymore in the future. I beg you, please let me keep my child. I will fly far away with this child in my belly, and never look for you again. I will never let this child know that you are the father, is that okay? I’m begging you…”“Where are you?!” Sebastian asked in a panic.Behind him, the executives that had been waiting for him to start the meeting watched on. Kingston, noticing that the situation was unusual, immediately barked out, “Dismissed!”The executives wisely left.Kingston looked to Sebastian. “Master, what happened?”He did not look back at Kingston. Instead, he continued listening carefully on the phone, his expression cold and solemn. Selene’s voice was filled with horror as she replied, “No, Young Master Sebastian, don’t… don’t come here.”Lincoln quickly snatched the phone away. “Young Master Sebastian, I’m currently at Hillside Hospital. Please send
