Sabrina felt her stomach sink at his expression and asked, "What- what's wrong?"He did not respond to Sabrina's question, but instead casted a sidelong glance over at her before reaching to pull the entire plate of bream towards him, with no intention of saving any for Sabrina.Sabrina was dumbfounded by his action. Ruthless, merciless, vicious, domineering, mean, those were the words she had used to describe the man before but it wasn't until today that she realized that he was also the kind of man that would compete with a woman over food, the food she had made herself, no less.The entire dish was devoured within a blank of an eye right before her. There were only bones and soup left on the plate.‘Was the bream that spicy?’ she thought, as she observed the sweat that formed on Sebastian's forehead.Sebastian finished the entire fish and two bowls of rice along with it, before looking over at Sabrina with a satisfied expression and said, "I'm going to take a shower. Remember to bri
‘Help him get dressed?’ Sabrina couldn't help but repeat those words in her mind again. She had never helped a man get dressed before. She wouldn't even know where to start, but seeing that he was waiting with both of his arms raised in the air, she complied and took the top of the pajamas in hand. First through the left shoulder, and then the right shoulder, with both of his arms into the sleeves, all that was left was to button it up. She realized she was standing extremely close to him as she was doing so, so much so that she was practically leaning into his skin. She could smell the shower gel from him and was not surprised how chilly his body was. The man seemed to enjoy cold showers despite it being winter at the time, after all. Pretty soon, his skin became boiling hot under her fingers, and it felt as though electricity had run through her body from the tip of her finger when it accidently connected with the man's skin. She immediately retracted her hands before continuing wi
Sabrina shook her head decisively. She knew her place and would never attempt to overstep the boundaries. Sebastian might have treated her with care by teaching her how to drive and taking her to register for a marriage certificate. They were sleeping in the same bed every night and were practically a married couple in real life, but still, Sabrina did not consider herself anyone important to Sebastian. In her mind, he was likely treating her with respect simply because she was the mother of his child, and any affection she had received so far was merely a reflection to how much Sebastian loved his daughter.Sabrina thought it was below her to try and be anything that she wasn't. Back when she was a child living under the Lynn Family's roof, she wasn't given much to eat. She never had the chance to try any sort of candies or snacks but Serene was never deprived of those. She would often make a point to devour those snacks in front of Sabrina, but Sabrina would never bother with her or
Sabrina stepped into the walk-in closet and instantly faced the struggle of deciding what to wear. Sebastian had bought countless outfits for her, most of which were from luxury brands, but who was she to dress grandly to the Ford Residence? The mother of Aino Scott? Her train of thoughts was then interrupted when she remembered Sebastian's reminder for her to dress prettier, that was the moment when she knew she had to dress up even if it was just for her daughter's sake. A visit to the Ford Residence was different from a normal day at work and she had to focus on being presentable for Aino.Sabrina picked out an outfit according to her favorite style: a white turtleneck cashmere sweater along with a long leather shirt with an orange tone. The cuttings were rather common, but when put together, they somehow created a contradiction between innocence and character. It gave her a look that was both elegant and simple, with a hint of the alluring charm of a mature woman. She then went ah
Sabrina swallowed and considered for a moment how Sebastian could be so insatiable. They had only done it the night before and he was already more than eager to do it again the very next morning? It was early in the morning and Aunt Lewis was feeding Aino her breakfast. If he really intended to take her right there and then in the walk-in closet, she might as well jump from the window and die before having to face the embarrassment afterward."Sebastian, please. I am the mother of your child. You might not care about me but at least consider your daughter for a moment here, don't you care about her?" Sabrina was at the brink of crying and pleaded, "What if she hears us? Or sees us? What would she think? At least think about how that would affect her impression on you, okay? The windows are wide open and people from the outside will see us..."Sebastian's hands stopped abruptly. "I don't care if the windows are open." His voice was hoarse and filled with desire, "There isn't anyone ar
“Sure!” The man replied in a clear-cut manner. Sabrina did not know what to say. However, immediately after that, Sebastian said again, “If you wished for Zayn to die in a foreign land.” Sabrina immediately looked at Sebastian with her eyes widened, “Zayn? My brother. Where is my brother now? You…Would you tell me where my brother is? You…” “He’s not dead.” The man only uttered three brief and straightforward words. He knew Sabrina had wanted to ask him about Zayn recently. However, every time the words almost came out of her mouth, she would swallow them back because she was afraid her inquiry would cost Zayn his life. Although she was very worried about Zayn, she had never asked about him. However, Sebastian knew that she had always been concerned about Zayn. If it were any other man besides Zayn, Sebastian might have already torn that man into a million pieces. However, throughout the past six years, Sabrina, Aino, and Zayn lived and depended on each other. If Zayn d
The man let out a burst of manic laughter and hugged Sabrina even tighter. He could truly feel her flushing hot cheeks pressed against his chest. His tone also became extremely gentle, “Go, pick out a pretty dress for your daughter. We need to leave already.”Sabrina spoke with an involuntary flirting tone. “Tell me, which one is the true you?”The man smiled in a laid-back manner. “When you only have me in your heart, then that would be the truest me.”What was that!There was no logic to it at all!She could not understand it!She did not have him in her heart.Since the first time she met him six years ago, and from the time she felt that he was the same person as the man who took her first time away, she already had him in her heart. However, she had dignity and a sense to protect herself. The harm she suffered did not allow her to open her heart to any man again. She would rather be indifferent for the rest of her life and have her heart wrapped in a pitiful shell than
Aino would never allow any woman to violate her mother’s territory. Sabrina was still distracted. “Mmm.”As she chatted on and off with her daughter, the family of three arrived at the Ford residence.It was the third time Sabrina came here. The first time was the day she was released from prison. She was brought here by Sebastian in a confused state. She remembered the maid quarters at the backyard of the Ford residence. A ravine with a stream was behind the backyard, and the ravine was the type that one could reach the deep bottom of the mountain following the vines. Sabrina could not help it and sighed in her heart when she thought about these. The Ford family truly was rich. They built such a magnificent mansion at this place near the mountain top. They could ascend to a height to enjoy a distant view, and it was also impossible for others to rob the house as the ravine was behind them. They were truly rich and wealthy. The maids who frequently went in and out of the ma
In a blink of an eye, Aino was already 18.She was already going to college.Her husband, Mister Ford, already had gray hairs on his sideburns and was already a man who was pushing 50.Both Sebastian and her had gone through thick and thin together for almost twenty years.That was so fast."Old man," Sabrina called out.Sebastian turned her head to the side and looked at Sabrina. "What did you just call me?"Sabrina smiled. "Isn't that right? You're going to be fifty next year, and I'm only in my early forties. I'm not an old lady, but you are a proper old man! Let me ask you something. Your sideburns have turned gray, are you going to dye your hair on our wedding day?""I'm not going to! I simply want others to say that an old man like me is marrying a young wife! Listen to me. You'd better stop dressing up and putting on makeup in the future!" Sebastian said to his wife, who looked ten years younger than him.How unreasonable!This old lady simply has not aged a day since
Yvonne hugged her children and lifted her head to look at her mother. At that moment, she was incredibly excited. She was both excited and aggrieved, which made her cry inconsolably. She rushed into her mother's arms. Immediately after, her father also hugged both her and her mother. The family of three was finally reunited. No, it should be a family of five at that moment. It would be a family of six with Marcus included. The family of six hugged each other and cried so much that the people at the side could not help but cry as well. Even the nurse also teared up.It was after a long while that Yvonne's parents let go of her."Alright, my child, let's go home. Let's go home."Helena raised her head and looked at Yvonne. Her child did not have her original face anymore, but she was truly her child. After her child went missing for five years, she finally got her child back. During that time, Yvonne got a rare condition that was hard to cure in any part of the world, but she was cure
After everything, all of it, was handled, Marcus suddenly burst out in tears."What's the matter, my son?" Missus Shaw has lost three sons and he was the only son left by her side. When she saw her son crying like that, it was only natural that she felt very saddened."Mom…I just feel that karma really is a funny thing. It's really making a fool of all of us! It turned out that everything was already destined. Everything was destined!" Marcus was covered in tears.Missus Shaw was confused. "What's the matter, my child?"Marcus cried and then he smiled. "Mom, I've finally understood why God let Yvonne go through this disaster that lasted for five years. It turned out that God had given her the biggest hardship which seemed so inhumane, but God had given her the best reward. Otherwise, the person who truly died would've been my Yvonne, wouldn't it? I would've been my Yvonne."Hearing him saying that, Missus Shaw said extremely emotionally as well, "That's right. At the end of it all
The fake Yvonne was still conscious the second before she died. She watched herself fall over with her eyes widened. She never would have expected it. After she had plotted everything, she was only one step away from the wedding, and then she could have replaced the real Yvonne and truly be a part of the high society of South City and be the wife of a rich man. However, she was fatally shot. Who was it?There was no time for her to look into it in detail before she fell to the ground. All of her regrets were forever sealed in her body. Without even a cry or shouting, she fell to the ground. She was feeling so reluctant to accept defeat that her heart had already stopped beating but her eyes were still wide open.Marcus was also stunned. He did intend to have Bonnie's entire gang arrested in one go, and he had already done it. The police were simply there that day to have this group of people surrounded. However, never in a million years would Marcus expect that someone would kill Bon
Two female attendants wheeled out a completely sealed glass cart. The ring that was carefully kept inside the glass cart was truly colorful and dazzling. Every side of the gem was radiating in different colors as the light shone upon it through the glass chart. The fake Yvonne was stunned silly when she saw it. Another person who was also stunned silly was the tan and fat man holding a pair of binoculars while sitting in a car across from the jewelry store.The tan and fat man muttered, "Gosh! This man must love her so much. He actually is willing to spend so much on her! This woman really deserves to die! She deserves to die too much!"Inside the jewelry store, Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne gently. "Do you like the ring I'm giving you?"The fake Yvonne was so excited that tears streamed down her face. "I like it. I love it too much! I truly love it so much!""I should've given you this ring four years ago. It was such a pity that at that time…""It's fine, hubby, it's fine. Is
All thirty people in the banquet hall were stunned. At that moment, they still have not made sense of what the hell has happened. How come a group of police came in once Yvonne left? Did they arrest the wrong people?"No, officer, we're…friends of Master Marcus of the Shaw family in South City. We've saved his wife. Master Marcus even said he is going to give me two apartments as gifts. Did you…have the wrong place?" Bella boldly asked the police at that moment.Nobody answered Bella. A few police officers came up and confiscated all of their phones. Not a single one was left behind.Bella could not hold herself back anymore and said while trembling, "We're Marcus' friends. He is not an ordinary person in South City. If Marcus knew that you've arrested us, when the time comes…"A police officer sneered. "The people we're arresting are all of you, the group of Marcus' friends!""Huh? Why?" Bella did not understand. Actually, she was not too familiar with the law. She just knew tha
"A billion dollars! Isn't he just insulting us, the three Shaw brothers? Marcus loves this bitch so much! When I see her looking so happy, I just want to kill her immediately! I have to have her killed!"At this end of the call, the tan and fat man asked Marcus' eldest brother very respectfully, "Sir, as long as you give an order. Just tell me, how do you want to get this woman killed? Why don't I kill her now?""No!" Marcus' brother stopped him and said. "It's not the best time now. There are too many people in there, so it's not going to be easy for you to escape. I only have a loyal servant like you. I can't let you die. You have to find a place outside that you can easily run away after getting the deed done. Now is not the right time!"The tan and fat man instantly said, "Alright, Sir, whatever you say. I'll find an even messier place and have this woman killed! I'll be hanging up now, sir!"After he hung up the call, the tan and fat man continued watching everything inside th
When Bella heard Marcus saying that, she immediately said shyly, "Gosh, how can I trouble Master Marcus in everything? No…there's nothing else.""Come on, Bella, whatever difficulties you have, just say it. My husband is the second most powerful person in South City anyway. There's really nothing he can't do." The fake Yvonne lifted her head and looked at Marcus coquettishly. "Am I right, hubby?"Marcus looked at the fake Yvonne very dotingly. "Baby, what do you think? I'm a husband that you've picked, so could you have been mistaken?""That's right!" The fake Yvonne happily leaned her head on Marcus' shoulder. Marcus hugged the fake Yvonne and was feeling so disgusted that he almost threw up. This Yvonne and his Yvonne indeed look very alike. They looked extremely alike! If this Yvonne did not speak and remained quiet, Marcus would feel that this is his Yvonne and his wife whom he had been thinking of all day and all night. However, the real Yvonne would never make such a request o
Of course, the fake Yvonne agreed. Three days later, they held a banquet for the fake Yvonne's benefactors at the most luxurious hotel in South City. Some of them were out-of-towners. There were also some from South City. Marcus roughly scanned them and surely, the middle-aged woman was there. She was the woman who was staying in the same area with Mila back then and the one who suggested letting Mile do a DNA test.Marcus held the fake Yvonne's hand and came to the middle-aged woman. "Miss, do you still recognize me?"The fake Yvonne immediately introduced her to him. "Darling, let me tell you, this is the lady who had helped me the most. Her name is Bella Hughes. She has always been taking great care of me, including the time I had a miscarriage. She was the one who took care of me. I feel we should give her two apartments!"The middle-aged woman named Bella immediately waved. "No need, no need. There's really no need for that. To be able to escort you back to your husband's side
