Sabrina did not answer, lowering her head as she continued to eat. The fiber strips in the sweet potatoes were not completely removed, so she removed them as she ate.“Do you like sweet potatoes that much?” Nigel asked.“Yeah, they’re sweet,” Sabrina replied.“It can’t really be that sweet, it’s not chocolate! Hand it over and let me try, if I find out that you’ve tricked me, I’ll deal with you right here!” Nigel snatched Sabrina’s plate away, taking it forcefully from her hands. He did not seem to care that they were out in the open, nor did he bother about the dust everywhere. Using the fork, he placed a piece of sweet potato into his mouth.Sabrina was stunned.She stared blankly at Nigel.Nigel gulped down one after another. After finishing, he paused before saying, “D*mn, I did not expect the food at this construction site to be so good. That sweet potato was so good... It’s sweet yet fragrant, soft and waxy.”His expression was clearly exaggerated and uncouth.Yet, Sa
The man did not reply before getting up and leaving.Grace smiled. “That brat has always been a man of few words, Sabbie. Since the two of you are in a flash marriage, your feelings for each other may not have a firm foundation yet, but I think you’ll slowly come to realize his good points.”“I know, mother. I’ll go with Sebastian to buy some clothes now,” Sabrina said, returning a sweet smile.“Go ahead.”Sabrina trailed outside. The moment she had walked out the door, she heard Grace shouting from behind, “Sebastian, I know you’re standing outside. Come in, I have something to say to you.”Sebastian had indeed been standing outside. Hearing his mother call for him, he ordered Kingston, “Bring her over to the car first. I’ll head on over after this.”“Yes, Young Master Sebastian.”Sebastian turned around, entering the ward.“Mother…”“Stupid child!” Grace reached over to hit her son as she rebuked him. “You’ve been married to Sabbie for over a month. I can tell that you’ve be
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
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
