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
“It’s been a long time since the last banquet, have you already made up your mind? Which family’s girl are you interested in?” Henry asked his grandson.His grandson was already approaching thirty-two. If he were the average man, Sebastian’s child would already be attending school!Sebastian was cold as usual, not saying a word. Henry was starting to grow frustrated, but as he was also somewhat afraid of this grandchild, he did not dare to show his anger. He could only say sincerely, “Currently, there are not many families that can stand up to the Ford family. The princess of Smith Group, the sister of Zayn, who always hangs around Nigel, is twenty two. There’s also the Horst Family from Kidon City, but the one I think would be best is that one from the Shaw family…”Henry had said so much, but Sebastian had not even raised an eyebrow.However, even though he may not be saying anything, he did not object either, so Henry continued. “The niece of Melanie Shaw, the mistress of the Sh
Returning Sebastian’s gaze, Sabrina smiled bashfully.Her smile was a sincere one, radiating a kind of liveliness.Sabrina’s work had gone very smoothly that day. Possibly due to the laptop Sebastian had given her, her efficiency at work had increased. When she submitted her drafts over to the designers in the office, they had all been shocked silent.They had all thought of her as someone who did simple odd jobs, even assuming that she would not know her way around a computer. They had never expected for her drafts to be done so professionally. It was so well done that even the notes by the sides were extremely detailed and useful.The designers had not dared to cause any more trouble for Sabrina that day.Leaving work early, she headed over to Aunt Grace’s ward. As the pair chatted, Sabrina told Grace that Sebastian had been treating her extremely well over the past two days. Not only had he bought her pretty clothes, he had even gifted her an amazing high-spec laptop.Grace pu
That was why Kingston did not wear gloves throughout the year. Even when winter was at its coldest, he would still refuse to. Yet, he had never expected that someone would prepare a small hand warmer for him to warm up his hands. That little lady’s kindness had warmed him up completely.He even started to grow suspicious. How could a lady like this get pregnant in jail?Did she have any hidden traumas?Kingston swore to himself that he would quickly investigate who it was and help her settle that ill-fated relationship!He swiftly opened the car door before saying to Sebastian and Sabrina, “Sir, Madam, please get in.”Sabrina blushed, smiling as she said, “Thank you.”In the car, she watched as Sebastian opened up his computer to work. Sabrina wisely made no sound at all. After they had gotten back, she asked, “Are you hungry?”Sebastian looked at her, hesitant. “You know how to cook?”“Yes, as long as it’s nothing too complicated, I can cook. Mr Ford, if you’re hungry, I can
Sabrina replied in a cold and detached voice. “When, what time?”“Four in the afternoon!”“Fine, I’ll be there on one a condition,” Sabrina said, “Do not bother Aunt Grace, or I won’t play nice with you!”Selene laughed savagely. “Haha! Sabrina, you seem to really think that Grace is your mother now. Don’t forget, you’re the fake, and I’m the real one. Grace is my fiance’s mother after all, how could I hurt her? Aren’t you getting worried over nothing?”“It’s good that you remember she’s your mother-in-law. I’ll be there at four.” Sabrina hung up the phone after saying that.Just as she was about to tidy up her office before looking for a stall to have lunch, Sabrina’s phone rang again. Thinking that it was Selene again, she had started to get irritated. Checking the phone, however, she realized that it was an unknown number. She composed herself before picking up. “Hello, who is this?”“Madam.” Kingston’s voice came from the other end.Sabrina blushed, her tone brightening up a
