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
“You… Do you mean it?” Selene looked tearfully at Sebastian.“I do.”“But you don’t love me, the one you love is Sabrina. I don’t want to force your hand, and I don't want the child in my belly to do that either. I just don't want to abort my child. I won’t follow you back, I will go far away.” Selene shook her head as she cried.“I’ve told you that I would marry you, that you would be my only wife. The child in your belly will be the future successor of Ford Group.” Saying that, Sebastian carried her into the check up room.Selene was speechless, her face still full of tears.However, nestled in Sebastian’s embrace, she knew she had won. She had scored a complete victory.Behind them, Lincoln and Jade exchanged a look of understanding.The results after her check up in the gynecology department were released after a short while. Selene really was pregnant, and had been for over ten months. It had happened right after that night Sebastian had spent with her.The doctor inform
“Understood.” Sebastian hung up after a simple word. As his cold gaze shifted to Selene, it became much warmer, and he took a much gentler tone as well. “You have my child, how could I let you go home?”“No!” Selene rejected decisively, “No, Young Master. We still aren’t formally married, so I’m still not your wife. Now that I know I’m a mother, I will be a good example for my child. I won’t trouble my man, I will learn to be strong and principled. So, before we are married, I won’t stay with you. Don’t worry, however. I will take proper care of our baby, I will definitely do that.”Her words sounded resolute. So much so that Sebastian felt as if she had completely changed, that all of a sudden, she possessed much more integrity.Sebastian paused for a moment before agreeing. “Alright.”He looked at Lincoln and Jade following that. “Please take good care of Selene. I will definitely marry her after a month. In the future, she will be my only mistress. The child in her belly will al
