Ch. 2001..2010
Chapter 2001 Sean had thought of Sabrina.
Sebastian smiled a little. "She had already given birth. It's a boy."
"Re-really?" Sean asked.
"It's so ironic this child's last name is going to be Ford!" Sebastian sneered. "Can I not let him be a Ford? Can I?"
Even he himself had taken Ford as his last name for his whole life. That man that he addressed as his father and that man he had hated his whole life is also a Ford. How ridiculous was this?
"No, no, no, Sebastian, no! If your child, the children of the Ford family, doesn't take Ford as his name, then what other last name was he going to take? He must be a Ford." At that moment, Sean desperately wanted to be able to see his little grandson that he had not met before.
Sebastian rolled his eyes at his father. "His last name could be Scott, Summer, or worst case, his last name could also even be Shaw. Must he be a Ford?" 2 It was not until that point that Sean understood how deep was his son's hatred towards himself. He gulped. "Take me to see...my little grandson, alright? Never mind what's this child's last name, he will always be own grandson, right?"
Sean looked at his son eagerly. He had just lost his wife, and his youngest son had just died two days ago. Even earlier than that, his father had passed away, and his father was still lying in the casket at home and had yet to be buried. To Sean, it truly could be said that his family was withering during that time. In just half a month, only his aged mother was left in this huge Ford Residence. That kind of desolation and misery was extremely hard to imagine. At that moment, the Ford family finally had a little grandson, so could Sean not be happy?
Sean already could not care so much anymore. He just looked at Sebastian with an extremely anticipating gaze. "Take me to go see him. Take me to see my grandson, my own grandson, alright, Sebastian? Take it as I'm begging you. I already had nothing left. The Ford Residence is so huge, but it has nothing left in it. I just want to take a look at my little grandson. Can I?"
"He is your grandson, and I couldn't deny you of your right to see your grandson. Get in the car then."
Sean got in Sebastian's car and he felt excited during the whole journey. He was about to meet his little grandson. The Ford family has a new member among the next generation again. In the future, the Ford family could be full of vigor again. He had thought about that throughout the journey, and he also did not speak to Sebastian. With his anticipating mood, he had unknowingly gone over.
When the car stopped downstairs of Sebastians's house, Sean was the first to rush out. He got even more anxious when he was waiting for the elevator. He went all the way up in the elevator, and then he knocked on the door. Sean excitedly held his chest with both of his hands. He was about to meet the little grandson of the Ford family's new generation. That was the best thing he had encountered in the past half a month and that was also the hope of the Ford family.
The door opened, but Sean did not see who was the one who opened it.
"Who are you looking for?" A voice came from the bottom. That was a cold voice, and a childish voice could be heard in that coldness. Sean lowered his head and saw Aino.
"Who are you looking for?" Aino asked once again.
Sean wanted to enter, so he immediately knelt and hugged Aino with enthusiasm and cried inconsolably. "Aino, АІП0....АІП0,1 am your grandpa. I am your grandpa, my baby."
Aino used all her strength in her body to push Sean away, then she said with an icy cold expression. "I'm sorry. You are not my grandpa. You're the person who almost led me and my mother to our death. Please leave my house!" Sean was speechless.
Chapter 2002 He had already forgotten that this catastrophe originally started with Sean deceiving Aino. He had already forgotten, and he also thought that the child also had forgotten. At that moment, Sean was embarrassed.
He held onto Aino. "Aino, baby, I am your grandpa. Your real grandpa. I know I have made mistakes. Now, I am here to see you and your younger brother. Both you and your brother are the only grandchildren of the Ford family. I don't have anything else in the future. I only have you and your brother."
Sean was covered in tears and his words were filled with guilt. He was very sincere. He had used up all of his sincerity. However, Aino still did not buy it at all.
Aino retreated. "No. Don't try to deceive me like this again. Can you just directly tell me what you want to do? My mom's body is very weak now. My brother is only three days old. My dad is also not so happy these few days. Every time I saw my Dad, he would be crying while holding a photo of my Uncle Holden. You old man, if you have anything, just tell me. It doesn't matter even if you want to harm and kill me.
However, don't harm my mom and my mother, and also my dad. They are all very pitiful. I am the person in charge now in this house."
The six-year-old child had not even started first grade, but she already knew to protect her mother, her father, and also her newborn brother. At that moment, she was that family's mainstay.
When Sean heard all those words, he simply felt like they were slicing his heart up.
Tears gushed down Sean's cheeks. "I am your grandpa II "All the grandpa in the world loved their grandchildren very much. However, you don't. You also told me last time that you were my grandpa and you are my father's father, and I believed you. I wanted a grandpa like those other children's grandpa, who would bring them to buy many snacks to eat. I wanted such a grandpa. I believed you, but you deceived me. You are not my grandpa. You are a liar. You are my family's enemy!"
Sean was speechless. He had been longing to take a look at his three-day-old grandson.
However, never would he have expected that he was already one step away from doing so, but he was blocked outside the door by his granddaughter.
"Whatever you want to do to my family, just come at me! You can beat me to death, but you can't harm my parents and my brother." Aino straightened her back and looked at her own grandfather extremely fearlessly.
At that moment, Sean felt guilty, so much so that he could not say anything. Sebastian was standing behind him and had been there for a very long time. He also did not know what to say.
He opened his mouth a few times, but he did not say anything, what should he say? should he tell Aino that Sean truly was her grandpa, so let him in? What should Aino think? The child was only six years old, and that could possibly be lifelong trauma for her.
Sebastian also could not tell his father to just leave as Aino did not welcome him. This definitely would be a heavy blow to this father. The Ford family simply could not have a third funeral at that moment.
After he thought about it for a long time, Sebastian still called out. "Aino, many people in this world would make mistakes. Just like your grandpa who had deceived you earlier on. That was his mistake and I will never ever forgive him. Aino also should not forgive him. However, in terms of blood relations, he truly is your grandpa, which means he is my biological father, just like you and I."
Chapter 2003 "Your grandpa already knew that he was wrong. He just wanted to come and take a look at your newborn brother. I'll let you decide on this matter, alright? If you don't want to let your grandpa in to see your brother, then I'll ask him to leave immediately."
Sebastian could only say that. He was thinking that this was the most sincere kind of attitude to treat the child. Although the child was very young, she also needed to be respected and treated with equality.
Aino looked at Sebastian. "Dad, are you certain that his bad old man is your father?"
Sebastian nodded and his tone was helpless. "He is my father."
Aino sighed. "Dad, why are you so pitiful? I feel very sorry for you. You're not like me. I have a good dad and a good mom, but you don't have a good dad."
Sebastian and Sean were both speechless. Gloria, who was behind Aino, had already walked out from the living room. A few people who were originally talking in the living room saw Aino go to get the door, but they did not see Aino returning after a long while, so Gloria came over to have a look, when she saw Aino blocking at the door and not allowing Sean to enter, Gloria immediately understood what happened.
Her tone was very impolite. "Mister Ford! Don't blame your granddaughter for not letting you in the house! You knew what your granddaughter and your daughter-in-law had experienced these days.
Such a matter, even if it was an adult in your granddaughter's shoes, the adult also would not forgive you for setting up your own family like that, let alone your granddaughter. Not to mention that she is just a child. She is very weak and small, but she knew that she should protect her brother. She is afraid that her brother will be deceived by you again and she is also afraid that you'11 trick and take her brother away!"
Sean kept nodding. "Yes, yes, Gloria, you're right. Everything is my fault."
Although he really wanted very badly to see his newborn grandson at that moment, he also had no way to request it again.
Sean looked at Aino with great sincerity. "Aino, everything in the past is my fault. I know I can no longer make up for the mistakes I have made. I know that I'm wrong. I should be punished. I'm not going to see your brother anymore. I'll leave your house now. Take good care of your parents and your brother.
I'll leave now."
After saying that, Sean turned around and left. With tears welled up in his eyes, he went downstairs in the elevator. Never in a million years would he have expected that his life would actually be miserable, so much so that he already had no right to take a look at his own grandson.
Just when he was being lost after getting out of the elevator, someone called out to him from behind. "
Hold on, Master Ford."
Sean turned around and saw that it was Kingston.
"Master Ford, you...Master Sebastian has asked me to ...first send you back," Kingston said respectfully.
Sean waved his hand weakly at Kingston. "No...no need. I want to be alone with my own thoughts."
After saying that, Sean walked out of Sebastian's neighborhood with heavy steps. After he got out of the neighborhood, he hailed a cab.
The cab driver looked at the decently dressed old man. "Mister, where are you going?"
"To the cemetery," said Sean briefly.
The driver was stunned. Seeing that the old man was incomparably depressed, the driver first drove aimlessly for a few minutes before asking Sean for the address to the cemetery in detail.
After two hours, the cab that Sean had hailed came to the cemetery where Grace had laid to rest. A miserable and dense rain started pouring, and Sean's heart was getting more and more miserable. He came to Grace's tombstone in the rain and knelt in front of it.
"Grace, can you...hear me talking to you?" Sean suddenly burst out bawling
Chapter 2004 The tombstone in front of Sean's eyes was icy cold and had no reaction at all. That gentle and smiling lady engraved on the tombstone was still as gentle and still smiling... However, there was not the slightest bit of warmth to that smile at all. Looking at that smiling face, Sean thought of the times when both he and she were young, when she was so dependent on him, and when she was head over heels for him. She treated him as her husband and the love of her life. However, she did not know that he was the man who had harmed her entire family. 1 Not only did she harm her family, but he even caused her to stay unmarried her whole life while bearing the name of a homewrecker and letting her be aggrieved for life. Even until the moment she died, she had not even gotten a proper acknowledgment for her position. When he thought about that at that moment, how cruel was that to a woman?
"Grace, how great it would have been if you were alive right now. Why can't you live another ten years?
Your son is in charge of the entire Ford Group. You have two grandchildren, a girl and a boy, and you have a daughter-in-law. Everything is yours. If what you and I have between US is a war, then you have won in the end. I have also become a lonely man now. Grace, have you seen the punishments the Heavens had given me? Did you see how fair this world is? Sooner or later, one will have to repay for what one has done. Also, I have paid a thousand times the price, haven't I? Between both of your sons, one of them hates me to his bones while the other has been laid to rest in your arms. How happy is that for you? Grace, how happy is that for you?" Sean cried and collapsed in front of Grace's tombstone.
"How happy are you? How happy are you?"
When Kingston saw that scene from afar, a sense of misery also appeared in his heart, but what could he say? People often said that one would reap who had sown. That saying could not have been more suitable to be used on Sean.
Kingston's phone rang and it was Sebastian who called. Kingston immediately answered the call. "
Hello, Master Sebastian. Yes, Master Sebastian. I am looking at Master Ford. He did not return to the Ford Residence. Master Ford is now in front of your mother's grave and he has been crying.
Sebastian was silent. Kingston called out. "Master Sebastian..."
"Don't let him harm his body. Take good care of him, " Sebastian said.
"Yes! Master Sebastian!" Kingston responded.
After he hung up the call, he still watched from afar as Sean cried. Even an outsider like Kingston was heartbroken to see that kind of guilt, remorse, and resentment Sean had.
Unlike how desolate Sean looked being alone at the cemetery in the evening, Sebastian's living room was rather lively. The entire living room was filled with people and everyone was surrounding Aino to joke and chat. Only Sabrina and her child were in the bedroom. The child was still very small, so they did not carry him out. However, Gloria would enter the bedroom from time to time to change the child's diaper and so on, and she would immediately leave the room after she had finished changing as she was afraid she would disturb the child and also Sabrina's rest. The people in the living room, on the other hand, also knew how to take care of Sabrina and the newborn child, so they only discussed things in the living room.
"Sebastian, what do you plan to do for the northern side?" Itwas Alex's voice.
Alex was seeking Sebastian's opinion. "I'm talking about Isadora..."
During this period when Sebastian accompanied Sabrina during her delivery and also her stay at the hospital, Isadora had already returned to Kidon City, carrying Malvolio's urn.
Chapter 2005 Isadora already had no home in Kidon City anymore. Also, the changes to Kidon City made Isadora feel overwhelmed, she hugged her brother's urn and stood in a daze in the middle of bustling traffic. Just when she did not know what to do and where to go, a pedestrian threw eggs at Isadora. The person who threw the egg was an old woman. Isadora was stunned.
"You're that person, aren't you? You're Malvolio's sister, aren’t you?" scolded the old woman furiously.
Isadora was speechless, she indeed was Malvolio's sister, but she did not dare to answer.
"I knew you're Malvolio's sister even if you stayed silent! I had met Malvolio before and you looked a little like him. I also have met your mother! You and your late mother looked even more alike! More than ten years have passed and you still dared to come back? You actually still dared to come back? Your brother is a murderer! You’re no better than him. Give me back my son and my daughter-in-law's life, oh, right, your brother even forced himself on my daughter-in-law. You have to pay me for compensation! If you don't pay me, I will never let you off the hook!"
Isadora was speechless. She did not know who that old woman was, but she knew that the old woman's son and daughter-in-law were certainly killed by her brother. In those few years, her brother had done plenty of evil in Kidon City and Malvolio had indeed been lawlessly vicious.
Isadora closed her eyes, she was just thinking of letting the old woman do as she pleased with her since it did not matter. Anyway, after she had buried her brother and then brought her mother's remains back from the dense forest deep in the mountains for burial, she would also take her own life next to her mother and brother, and her life would have been over.
More and more people gathered as many people knew about Malvolio's crimes back then, and many people vented their anger on Isadora. In the end, Isadora fell to the ground after being pushed by the people. Just when someone wanted to step on Isadora, Alex's assistant, Garrett Zandra, appeared. Sebastian had specially asked Alex to make arrangements for Isadora, so Alex asked Garrett to handle this matter.
After Garrett shouted and dispersed the crowd, he brought Isadora to a remote place to stay. He kept her well-fed every day, but he did not let Isadora out the door. Alex had heard that it was thanks to Isadora's care for Sabrina in the few days she was held hostage by Malvolio that the pregnant lady could safely get through those days. Therefore, Alex had only put Isadora on house arrest and did not punish her.
Besides, there was another reason why Alex did not punish Isadora, which was that Isadora's crimes were not serious enough, to begin with. All of the crimes and sins were committed by her brother, and Isadora was an accessory to the crimes at best. Therefore, Alex first put Isadora in his control. It so happened that he was coming to South City to visit Sabrina and her newborn child, so he just asked Sebastian and Sabrina, especially Sabrina, how he should deal with Isadora. 1 When he heard Alex saying that, Sebastian just smiled slightly. "Sabrina had given birth not long after we disembarked from the ship, so I also had forgotten to tell you about this matter. Just arrange a place for Isadora to stay. She is all alone and is also quite pitiful. If Alex nodded. "Alright. I'll arrange for this matter."
Sebastian nodded. There's finally an end to the matter regarding Malvolio and Isadora, especially for Alex as a trouble on his mind was considered to be resolved.
"Is the child alright?" Alex changed a topic.
"It had only been three days, but his appearance kept changing with each passing day. He is growing very fast. His little arms were so chubby that his skin was stretched." Once his child was mentioned, a smile instantly appeared on Sebastian's face.
He had been very gloomy in recent times. Only his child could put a smile on his face. He did not know about it when Aino had just been born back then, let alone saw Aino when she was younger. He had finally seen his son at that moment. He was chubby on his little arms, little legs, and all over his body.
Sebastian's heart could melt every time he glanced at him.
It was until all of the guests in his house had left that he had time to go to Sabrina and the child's nursery.
"How is the child?" He tiptoed and came to Sabrina's bedside and saw that Sabrina was busy.
Sabrina raised her head and both her hands at the same time to show Sebastian. "Well, look!
Your son had just pooped! Quickly come and help!"
Chapter 2006 Only then did Sebastian see that both of Sabrina’s hands were covered with the baby's yellowish poop. Aino instantly laughed. "Gosh, mom, look at your hands."
Sabrina shot a sidelong glance at her daughter in annoyance. "You laugh, but you're just the same as when you were a baby. You are a lot and pooped a lot. You would poop a few times in a day and it’s just as yellow as this."
Aino immediately held back her laughter. "Mom, is my brother's poop stinky?"
"It's not stinky. Smell and see. It's sour. The poop of a baby who is still drinking milk doesn't stink at all," said Sabrina.
Sebastian and Aino were both speechless, especially Sebastian. He pinched his nose and knitted his eyebrows. "Look at yourself. At the very least, you're also a working professional in the city and a top architect. Look at what you're doing. Both your hands are covered in a child's poop and you even put it near your nose to smell it."
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Sebastian. "Damn it! You're even disgusted by that. You have never raised a baby, so you don't know and you feel it's easy. When I gave birth to Aino back then, not only did I smell the child's poop but I even had to distinguish the color and also check if there were any undigested bits of milk fats in the poop. What do you know? If a three- day-old baby's stool is smelly, then that means the baby's digestion is weak or had eaten too much. We have to pay attention to all these. If the stool is not smelly and has a faint acidic smell, then that shows that everything is normal! You're not a qualified father!"
Hearing Sabrina saying that, Sebastian could not help but feel guilty, when she gave birth to her first child, he was not by her side. All of the hardships she experienced back then were beyond his imagination. He was finally by her side when this child was born, but he felt disgusted by the poop on her hands, what the hell was that?
Sebastian immediately went to the bathroom to get a basin of hot water. He took a sanitized towel and came to the front of Sabrina. He did not care about anything else and just personally washed and wiped Sabrina's hands for her. It was after he had cleaned Sabrina's hands that Sebastian realized that Sabrina had been smiling.
"What are you...smiling at?" Sebastian was slightly confused. Aino was also smiling.
"You guys... Aino, what are you and your mom smiling at?"
Aino tugged at her father. "Dad, look, my brother's father still hasn't been cleaned."
Only then did Sebastian lower his head and saw that the diaper of the baby, who was lying in the middle of the bed, was just undone. The diaper under his bottom still had poop on it. He had already cleaned his wife's hands, but the baby's diaper still has not changed.
"Ah well..." Sebastian said. Sabrina shrugged and was speechless.
Sebastian immediately smiled. "Watch me!"
He just would not believe it! He was already a father of two. How could he not know how to change a baby's diaper? He washed and sanitized his hands, then he came to the front of his son. The little thing's little arms and legs were so soft and tender that they were too delicate to touch. Sebastian did not even dare to touch him with his big palm. He held one of the child's little legs with great caution.
"Ah!" Sabrina was so frightened that she immediately stopped him. "How could you...pick up the child like that? You have to hold both of his legs to pick him up."
Sebastian immediately panicked, "oh, oh, both legs."
He grabbed both of his sons' little feet with one hand and slowly and gently lifted his son's little bottom. After that, he used his other hand to fold the diaper and then took the soiled diaper out.
They originally thought that he would directly throw it into the rubbish bin. Who knew that this manly man actually took the diaper up, put it near his nose, and smelled it?
Chapter 2007 Sabrina and Aino were speechless. The expression on Aino's face was absolutely incredulous.
"Dad, you... what are you doing?"
Sebastian immediately smiled. "It s acidic and it even has a smell of milk. It smells very nice. No wonder your mom likes this smell..."
Aino was speechless. She highly suspected that her father was lying. However, Aino also wanted to smell and see. In spite of that, her wish was never fulfilled because her father had already thrown that diaper into the rubbish bin.
After Sebastian threw the diaper away, he followed Sabrina's instructions at the side and gently put his son's little bottom on a tower. After that, he went to get a basin of warm water. The temperature of the water was just right for the baby. Sebastian used that warm water to clean his son's bottom and the baby was particularly comfortable. The baby put his little hand in his mouth and sucked on it very enjoyably. He would even coo a little from time to time. Sebastian's heart completely melted when he saw that. He thought to himself that it was no wonder why everyone in the world would want to have children. The adorable look of a baby, especially newborns who had just come into the world, truly could melt anybody's heart.
Sebastian was engrossed for a moment before he remembered that he had to put on a new diaper for the baby. He then lifted both of his son's feet in a panic, and it was only then did he remember that he had not taken a new diaper. Well! It was his first time taking care of a baby!
Just when he was feeling helpless, he heard Sabrina softly sigh behind him.
1 The man turned around and saw his wife, who had just given birth, was looking at him with a smile. It was as if she was saying, 'Aren't you very capable when you're managing a group of companies? What else can you do when you are so clumsy when I let you change your son's diaper?' Aino laughed while looking at Sebastian. "Dad, can you do it?"
Sebastian blinked his eyes. "Mm-hmm..."
There was a pause before he said, "Aino, teamwork makes the dream work. Do you understand what it means?"
Aino shook her head. "I don't understand, Dad."
Her father was changing her brother's diapers, so how come he would mention making the dream work?
"What that means is that there are many things that require US, father and daughter, to join forces then only could the thing be done perfectly, for example changing your brother's diaper now."
Sebastian glanced at his son's short little legs that were still hanging in mid-air. Aino's little mouth was already wide open, then only she asked after a few seconds, "Dad, what do you mean?"
"Go! Get me a diaper!" ordered Sebastian.
"Alright!" Aino immediately ran over happily to get his father a diaper.
"Come and help me lay it down properly," said Sebastian again.
"Roger that! Dad!" The little girl was a very smart girl. Although her father did not explain too much about what he meant when he said teamworks makes the dream work, she also already understood it. It was the first time for her father to take care of a baby, so he was a little clumsy when taking care of her brother. At that moment, he needed her to act as his assistant.
The little girl did a very good job as his assistant. Although she had small hands and arms, the way she looked when she was helping her father at the side was very serious. Within two minutes, she had laid the diaper precisely under her brother's little bottom. After she was done, she even boasted to Sabrina. " Mom, what do you think? Without your intervention, Dad and I can also take good care of my brother."
"Mm-hmm! As expected of you and your father!" Sabrina said.
Sebastian also laughed, "of course!"
After saying that, he put the baby's little bottom down and the next step was to wrap the diaper up. Just when he was about to fasten the diaper, his three-day -old newborn son, his precious baby, urinated without warning.
"Oh..." His son's urine sprayed all over his face.
Chapter 2008 "Haha!" when she saw her father like that, Aino burst out laughing and bent over on the edge of the bed. " Dad, you look so funny..."
Sabrina laughed so hard that her stomach ached, she had a little tear when she gave birth to the baby, when she burst out laughing, pain could be felt that she instantly winced. "Ouch!"
"What's the matter? What's the matter, Sabrina?" Sebastian did not care about wiping off the baby's urine on his face, but he looked at Sabrina with concern instead.
"Ouch..." Sabrina bit her lips. "It hurts..."
She did not say it explicitly, but Sebastian also knew which part of her body was it that she said was aching. "Don't move. Just don't move. I'll carry you."
He carried Sabrina with extreme caution and slowly put her on the bed.
"Does it still hurt to be in this position?" he asked.
Sabrina smiled gently. "It doesn't hurt at all, Sebastian."
"It's good if it doesn't hurt," said Sebastian.
He carefully tucked her in the bed before coming back to his son again. He took away the diaper that was covered in urine and changed to a new one. From pulling up the sticky tabs, lifting the baby's little bottom, laying the diaper properly, and all the way to then fastening the diaper.
Although he was very clumsy throughout the entire process, it was all completed by Sebastian alone.
Even Aino, who was watching at the side, felt incomparably proud, she praised Sebastian. "Dad, you're as meticulous as Mom."
Sabrina also said gently, "Sebastian, you've changed."
Sebastian raised his eyebrows. "Which part of me has changed?"
"You're getting less and less like a director of a company, and also less and less aloof and cold.
You're like...a stay-at-home dad."
"Haha!" Sebastian laughed with incomparable pride. He laughed and looked at his wife and daughter without saying a word.
His daughter called out. "Dad?"
Sebastian was very smug. "I have a wife. I have two children, a daughter, and a son, and my son is still an infant. If I'm not like a stay-at-home dad, then what ami?" 1 After saying that, he still smiled. Sabrina was stunned while looking at him. He was actually not in a very good mood in the past few days. The only time they saw him smiling was when she came out of the delivery room. A smile appeared on his face when he saw that both Sabrina and the baby were safe. After that, he went to the Ford Residence to handle the matters and went to the cemetery to bury Holden.
Each of those matters made Sebastian feel incomparably heavy-hearted.
It was only at that moment when only the family of four were in the large and spacious bedroom together that he smiled. His smile was so relaxed and unguarded. Sabrina and Aino also could not help but smile as they were infected by his smile.
"Dad, I'm so happy." Aino nestled in her father's arms and put both of her little hands in his hands.
Sebastian took Aino by the hand again, and then three of them held the baby's tender little hands together. The family of four just held each other's hands like that for a long time.
Sebastian suddenly realized that all those long years in the past, no matter how cold and stern, vicious, and heartless he was, all those years of his life were in vain. It was only at this time that he felt he truly existed when he was with his family, his wife and his child.
That night, the family of four crammed in one bed together. The couple slept on either side while the two children slept in the middle. That was the most peaceful sleep the family of four had ever had.
Sebastian woke up feeling refreshed the following morning. He felt much better compared to the gloomy feeling he had in the past few days. Sebastian was the one who got up the earliest among the family of four. Sabrina and the children were all still sleeping soundly. He had to first come out to check on the breakfast prepared by Aunt Lewis, and then help Aino get dressed before sending her to kindergarten.
Chapter 2009 After all that, he had to go to his company. There had been too many things that were piled up at the company in the past few days. After he dealt with the matters and properly settled all the affairs in the morning, he had to make a trip back to the Ford Residence. He had to finish up with the funeral of old Master Ford, Henry Ford. That was what he had originally planned. In the end, just as he got out of the bedroom, he received a call. He picked his phone up and saw that it was Nigel calling, so he immediately answered it with a calm tone, "Nigel, are you looking for me for something?"
If Nigel were looking for him, then it must be something related to the Ford Residence. However, Nigel unexpectedly asked, "Sebastian, is Master... Master Holden's ashes buried...together with my aunt?"
Sebastian was confused. "Why are you asking that?"
As soon as he finished his words, the person on the other end of the call had changed. That person had a voice especially found in young girls and spoke with a catch in her throat/ "Master...Master Sebastian, may I know if my Uncle Holden...is...is buried next to your mother's grave?"
"...You are?" Sebastian asked.
"I am Minerva Payne. I just wanted to go and visit my uncle...." Minerva was sobbing hard.
In fact, she had also come to Sebastian's house the day before that. However, she was only following Nigel to have a look at the baby. Minerva was considered a sensible young lady, so she did not cause a scene in front of so many people, she just kept quiet the whole time. Later on, everyone had left and Minerva saw that it was already getting late, and Sebastian had no time to entertain the guests at all while he kept going into Sabrina's room time and time again, Minerva also did not feel appropriate to ask Sebastian. She knew that her uncle had already died. She went back to her home and cried through the night. It was until daybreak that she could not hold it in anymore, so she begged Nigel to give Sebastian a call.
At the end of the call, Sebastian felt touched. Holden had always said that he could not get any warmth and had always been isolated in that family. However, his niece was so deeply saddened for him. 1 Thinking of that, Sebastian said, "At half-past ten in the morning, both you and Nigel just wait for me at the entrance of the Ford Group, г 11 bringyou here."
Minerva immediately thanked him repeatedly. " Thank you. Thank you, Mister Ford. I won't disturb you anymore."
After he hung up, Sebastian was in a daze for a moment. It was until when Aunt Lewis called for him that he regained his senses.
"Sir, it's time for breakfast. Madam's breakfast still needs a while before it's ready. Why don't you and the little princess have your breakfast first?" asked Aunt Lewis gently.
"Thank you, Aunt Lewis. You've worked hard." Sebastian nodded slightly.
Aunt Lewis was speechless. She was absolutely overwhelmed by the sudden flattery. Sebastian had always been quite nice to the people who worked for him, but he had always been cold and indifferent. However, he was unexpectedly gentle that day! After all, he was already a father of two, so he was different from before.
There were plenty of things that were different about Sebastian. In the past, when the little princess went to school, it would be Sabrina who remembered all the trivial matters such as her bag, bottle, and how many layers of clothes she should be wearing. However, Sebastian actually also could take care of everything very well. Before Sebastian left, he was still asking Aino, "How many layers are you wearing in there? When it gets hot at noon, do you need to take a layer of clothes off?" He was truly a caring father.
When he sent Aino to kindergarten, the teachers and also a few parents were also very shocked.
Sabrina had been to one to drop off Aino at her kindergarten in the past. Later on, it was Kingston who was in charge of picking up and dropping off Aino. Sebastian truly rarely and had almost never come to Aino's kindergarten.
"Aino, who was the one who sent you here today?" Aino's good friend asked Aino in envy.
"My dad. What do you think? My dad is handsome, right?" Aino answered proudly.
Chapter 2010 Several friends gathered around Aino in envy. They were chattering as each of them enviously interjected one another.
"Aino, how is your father so handsome?"
"Aino, your father looks like a famous star."
"Aino, I'm so envious of you for having such a handsome and tall father. Your father doesn't have a belly at all."
Aino laughed with immense pride, she looked at her father. "Dad, are you still coming to pick me up after school?"
"Do you want me to pick you up or do you want Uncle Kingston to pick you up?" Sebastian deliberately asked.
"Of course I want you!" answered Aino very greedily.
"Then Г11 come and pickyou up!" At that moment, Sebastian fully understood the importance of biological parents to a child.
Children needed companionship in their childhood, especially from their father and mother. His company was certainly important, but no matter what, nothing was as important as Aino.
"Alright!" Sebastian promised. "I'll pick you up after school!"
"Haha! I'm overjoyed!" Aino then hopped into the kindergarten.
Sebastian also got into the car immediately after that and went to the Ford Group. It had already been a few days since he came to the company to deal with the business affairs. From the moment Sabrina was taken hostage, to the passing of his grandfather, then dealing with Malvolio, and in the end Holden getting shot and killed, all of that had happened in only one week. However, Sebastian felt as if he had already experienced ten years' worth of things.
When the high-ranking executives of the company saw Sebastian, they did not even dare to make a sound. All of the areas that each of them was responsible for were well organized and thriving.
When they saw Sebastian, all of them expressed their grattitude. "Master Sebastian, please do take care of your family matters without any concern. If there is anything out of sorts in the area that I'm responsible for, I will report to you, so don't worry."
All of the high-ranking executives in every field had the same idea, so Sebastian was especially relieved. It had already been exactly seven years since he took over the Ford Group. In those seven years, he had already brought the Ford Group to an unprecedented height. There was no other group of companies in the entire South city, even in the entire country, that was able to compete with the Ford Group.
Sebastian had done a better job than his brothers, his father, and also his grandfather. That clearly showed that Sebastian had snatched the Ford Group back then with his own strength and not entirely with underhanded means. Within a few years, every single person in the entire Ford Group had completely accepted Sebastian. Even if Sebastian did not come to the company to deal with all the business affairs, the Ford Group would still run like clockwork. Seeing such a group of companies, Sebastian also felt very relieved and pleased. 1 At least with that, he could be more hands-off in the future, and he could make more time to be with his family. After that, he could make more babies. He had already completely experienced the warmth and joy of a family. As a man who had gotten used to being decisive in the field of business, he felt that the way he chaotically helped his son change his diaper in the nursery was extremely comfortable and enjoyable for him. He felt that even if he and Sabrina had another child in the future, he also would be very happy to change the diaper for his every child. He also would be very happy to be like Sabrina, and let each of his child's acidic and milky stools get on his hands. That would be happy and appropriate for him.
"Mister Ford?"
"Master Sebastian?"
"Director?"
A few people called for him, but Sebastian did not hear. He was lost in a daydream, and the content of his daydream was changing diapers for his child. How ridiculous! The director of the Ford Group, the man who once could command the world, had never been like this before
