Ch. 2011..2020

Chapter 2011 He tried his best to conceal his own guilt. "Mm-hmm. What-what did you say?"

"Sir, what were you thinking of just now? Do you have any decision?" asked one of the regional managers.

Sebastian was speechless. There was a pause. "Well, regarding my grandfather's matters, I may be occupied for a couple more days. All of you still need to pay more attention to the company's affairs."

After saying that, he did not explain any further, but he got up and left the meeting room. After he returned to his office and signed all the documents that he needed to sign, Sebastian raised his wrist to take a look at his watch. It was almost half-past ten, so he packed up his briefcase and came out of the company.

A car was waiting downstairs at the Ford Group, when Sebastian was seen coming out of the company, both Nigel and Minerva got out.

Nigel called out, "Sebastian, Minerva wants to pay a visit to her uncle."

Sebastian noticed that Minerva's eyes were swollen from crying. She looked at Sebastian respectfully. " Mister Ford, can you take me to see my uncle?"

"Followme," said Sebastian.

One hour later, they arrived in front of the grave where Grace and Holden were buried. At that moment when she saw Holden's picture on the tombstone, Minerva instantly burst out bawling.

"Uncle Holden... Uncle Holden..."

She cried in such a sorrowful and miserable manner. Both the men standing behind her, especially Nigel, could not help but feel pity. He had never expected that this young lady valued relationships so much. In the past year, Minerva had always been with him, but the two of them did not do anything. Nigel was simply responsible for her living expenses, housing, and so on. In fact, every time Nigel gave Minerva money, Minerva would refuse. That was because she has a million dollars that were left to her by Holden, she had been very frugal with her money. She had never eaten fancy foods and never splurged on anything.

Although the young lady looked a little ugly, Nigel found her to be more and more good looking at that moment, she had a kind of neither arrogant nor humble and hardworking beauty emitting from her bones. It was particularly so when she knelt in front of Holden's tombstone and kept saying. "Uncle Holden, why are you so silly? Uncle Holden, you're not well behaved at all. why were you so pessimistic?

"Even if the world had abandoned you, I will still support you. You just have to wait for me for ten years. Ten years later, I would have graduated from college and joined the workforce. I definitely would have supported you and I never would have let you be alone, Uncle Holden. Uncle Holden...Uncle Holden... don't die, Uncle Holden. Come back to the living, alright? I also don't have a family, Uncle Holden..."

She knelt in front of Holden's grave and she kept wiping on Holden's tombstone. Her tears gushed down her cheeks and landed on Holden's tombstone. Sebastian, who was behind her, did not know what he was feeling in his heart when he saw her like that. He kept silently muttering in his heart, 'Holden, look. You didn't suffer any losses now. You're lying in mom's arms, and you can be with her all year round. In the land of the living, on the other hand, you still have a niece who loved you so much. How happy you are.

Tn the future, for every new year, your birthday, and also your death anniversary, I'll bring Aino and Minerva, as well as your nephew that you had never met to visit together. Rest in peace, my brother, my dearest brother, my younger twin brother.' Sebastian secretly wiped away the tears around his eyes. He was unlike Minerva. After all, Minerva was a child, so she could cry her heart out and express her feeling of missing Holden without any concerns.

Sebastian, on the other hand, could only bury this kind of pain and sorrow at the bottom of his heart.

Because he still had to handle the funeral at the Ford Residence after that, after he had sent off Minerva and Holden at the cemetery, Sebastian went back to the Ford Residence. As soon as the car stopped, the housekeeper of the Ford Residence came to Sebastian with great worries.

"Master Sebastian..." 2 "What's the matter?" asked Sebastian calmly. "Your father...is sick," said the housekeeper.

Chapter 2012 Sebastian was not too surprised. After his father had left his house, his father had gone to the cemetery. It was even raining that day. It was so cold and he was already so old. It would have been strange if he had not gotten sick instead.

"Got it," said Sebastian, and then he asked again, " Have you called for the doctor?"

"Yes, his fever had already gone away. It's just that he ..." the housekeeper said.

"What's wrong?" asked Sebastian.

"Master Ford had been calling for Aino, younger brother, Aino, younger brother. He sometimes would also call for the other young master, Holden. I'm afraid that he is getting delirious..."

Sebastian was stunned. His stepmother, Rose, had a clear mind and was not crazy, but Sebastian had sent her to the psychiatric hospital. However, would his father truly have gone crazy? He immediately rushed to his father's room. Once he had entered the door, he heard his father call out. "Holden, Holden, I've failed you. Aino, my little grandchild, I want to see you and I want to see your younger brother. My Aino..." he sobbed.

That voice was like the howling wind in the winter. Sebastian felt upset when he saw that.

"Dad..."

He truly was afraid that his father had gone crazy. However, what he did not expect was that he only called out once, and this father said, "I'm not crazy."

Sebastian was speechless.

"My mind is very clear. The reason why I'm muttering so loudly was so I could vent my feelings like that, and then I will not miss Aino and her brother that much anymore. I can't go crazy. You still have your grandma. If I had gone crazy, then your grandma would become a burden for you to bear. At this point, I've already completely understood that the cause of everything is me. I can't let you bear this consequence. Don't worry, Sebastian. I know very well what to do. You don't have to worry too much about the Ford Residence. The most important thing for you right now is to take care of Sabrina and your children. They are the hope of the Ford family."

Sebastian had never expected that his father would say such a thing. He could not help but have mixed feelings in his heart. He was a human and his heart was made of flesh and blood. After all, he had been so indifferent to his father in the past because his father had gone overboard.

However, at that moment, what his father had said suddenly made Sebastian understand a little more of his father's feelings.

"Dad...regarding Aino, I will find time to properly talk to her. She is still a child, so we'll have to take it slow."

Sean suddenly sat up straight and looked at Sebastian with tears streaming down his face.

"Sebastian, do you agree to let Aino acknowledge me as her grandfather? Will you stilL.agree?"

Sebastian's voice was very flat. "Dad, you are her grandfather. This is a matter of blood relations and it can't be changed."

"I...thank you. Thank you..." Sean sobbed. He smiled and looked at Sebastian, and his expression looked much more relieved. "Sebastian, I have already thought it through. Just like you said, no matter what, I am Aino and her younger brother's grandfather by blood, and that can't be changed. Therefore, I will no longer force Aino and her brother to be a Ford anymore. In the future, your children's last name will not be Ford anymore. Their last name could be Scott, Shaw, or Summer. It's all fine. In the worst case, their last name can also be Lynn. As long as you have discussed this with Sabrina, I will have no problem with it."

He said it with such sincerity. He was both sincere and humble. It was impossible for Sebastian to not be touched. Sebastian sighed. "Dad, Aino's legal name is Aino Ford and her brother's last name is also Ford."

He was disgusted with this last name. However, the family name could not be changed. Even if he did not let his children's last name be Ford, what could that change? His children and he would still be the children and the grandchildren of the Ford family. Changing the last name meant that he was simply running away. However, could he escape from it? Since he could not escape, then it was better to just face it head on.

Chapter 2013 "Real...really?" Sean absolutely could not believe it.

Sebastian sighed. "Their legal names are Aino Ford and Louie Ford." 1 "Aino and Louie! Good! Great! The Ford family has another two grandchildren now." Sean instantly recovered from his sickness. He rubbed his hands together joyfully.

People were like that sometimes, when there was no hope, even if there was just a little bit of light, one would have already felt that it was very good.

However, once there was a lot of hope, one would have a greater wish.

Sean rubbed his hands together."Then, the next child II • • • He was still thinking of having another grandchild.

"Chris," Sebastian answered quickly.

"Chris..." Sean smiled. "This is a good name. Good! Aino, Louie, and Chris! Great! Fantastic!"

said Sean continuously.

Sebastian did not continue with this topic anymore. He controlled his emotions and said, "Dad, my grandpa's funeral can't be delayed any further. You have to rest well and recover. As for the wake and entertaining guests who came to offer their condolences, I can do it alone. The most important thing for you to do now is to recover, and also to take care of my grandma."

Sean immediately nodded his head. "Alright, alright! I got it. I definitely won' t be a burden and hold you back."

"Then I'll go to the wake nowand I’ll let Kingston arrange for the funeral matters," said Sebastian.

"Alright!" Sean's mood had gotten much better.

Sebastian then turned around and went to the room where Henry's wake was held. With Sebastian in control, the funeral would be able to be held in an orderly fashion. The people who came to offer condolences were as endless as the day before. As usual, the Ford family's funeral still caused a sensation in the entire city, old Master Ford was buried the following day.

During the entire funeral, Sabrina could have come to mourn. However, because she had just given birth to a child, her body still had not recovered and the baby also needed to be taken care of, so she truly was unable to come over.

After the funeral, Sebastian sat in front of the Old Madam Ford and said, "Grandma, don't blame your granddaughter-in-law for not being here, she had just given birth to a child, so she could not come to the venue."

Tears kept streaming down his grandma's face, "I don't blame her. when the baby is bigger, bring him over to let me have a look, alright?"

The old lady was the most understanding of the older generation in the Ford family, of course, Sebastian could not go against her. "My father and Aino just had a little conflict, so it is unlikely for Aino to come over in the near future. After I have spoken to Aino, I will bring her and her brother over together."

"Good! Great! I'll be waiting," said the old lady happily.

"Grandma, I'm leaving now," said Sebastian.

"Go ahead, my child." old Madam Ford knew that Sebastian was not close to this family, so she also did not force him.

She just watched with tears streaming down her face as Sebastian's figure walked further and further and got smaller and smaller. "Such a big family like the Ford family had been ruined by all of you till there's almost nobody left. I only hope that my grandson, Sebastian, can have more children. Have more children..." 1 Of course, Sebastian could not hear any of that. He had already gone far away. He got in the car and left for his house.

It was in the evening, so the traffic was slightly congested, and Kingston drove a little slower. If they were caught in the jam in the past, Sebastian would not say anything and would just close his eyes to rest. However, this time, Sebastian kept urging, "what's going on? Why isn't the car moving at all?"

Kingston glanced at this master. At that moment, he did not look like a director at all. He just looked exactly like a caring father. 1 'What was going on? Can't you see it yourself? what's going on? Traffic Jam!' However, Kingston did not say anything at all. He just went along with his master's intention and honked the horn. It was fortunate that the traffic jam did not last for a long time, and they arrived home half an hour later. Kingston drove off while Sebastian quickly went upstairs.

It had already been two days since he last came home, and before he entered the door, he heard the sound of a baby crying. Sebastian anxiously opened the door suddenly and ran straight to the nursery. Once he got in the room, he saw that Sabrina was bent over and had just changed the child's diaper. The child was still crying. Sebastian then took a big step forward and took the child from Sabrina. "My little baby, don't cry

Chapter 2014 Sabrina wanted to laugh when she saw the way Sebastian held the child. "Sebastian, why are you holding the baby like that?"

Sebastian was very serious. "This is called a belly hold. II "Is there such a way to hold a baby like that?" Sabrina rebuked Sebastian with annoyance.

"Didn’t you see that the child has stopped crying?"

Sabrina was speechless.

"The belly hold is specially designed to relieve the colics in babies, especially when he had just eaten. Got it?" Sebastian said.

Sabrina was speechless, she was already a mother of two, but she truly did not know that. She truly was uninformed, when she gave birth to Aino in the past, although life was very hard at that time, her brother, Zayn, was very helpful to her. Aino was also very well behaved when she was a baby. On top of that, Zayn was the one who had taken care of the child more, so Sabrina did not worry too much. This was her second child at that moment, so she felt that she already had some experience and would definitely be more experienced than her husband, who knew that her husband would get one up on her. Sabrina just wanted to laugh at the thought of it.

"Hmph! You're the only capable one!" Sabrina did not want to accept defeat.

"Even your daughter knows. It's just you who didn't know!" Sebastian rolled his eyes at Sabrina.

"Really?" Sabrina was a little unconvinced, she then followed her husband out of the nursery, and Aino happened to just return home after she followed Aunt Lewis downstairs to buy something at the convenience store downstairs. Once she saw Aino, Sabrina asked, "Aino, look at the way your dad held our brother, what posture is that? Do you think it's right for your dad to hold your brother like this?"

Aino did not even bat an eyelid. "Mom, you're outdated already, alright? My dad is using a belly hold, and that was what he and I looked up together on the parenting website."

"Can you read?" Sabrina deliberately attacked Aino.

"Hmph!" Aino lifted her chin up high.

"I'm asking you, can you read?"

Aino smiled. "In another half a year, I will become a child who can read."

In half a year, Aino would be going to the first grade.

Thinking about the matters of Aino going to start first grade, Sabrina suddenly recalled something. " Sebastian, you have been dealing with your grandpa's funeral at the Ford Residence in the past couple of days. I was afraid that you might be busy, so I didn't give you a call. However, I had given Kingston a call. I heard from Kingston that your father.Js sick.

"Actually, things are already like this and he is already so old, so don't...get angry at him. Just tell your father that both Aino and Louie's last name is Ford. In any case, Aino is going to start first grade in another six months, so she definitely will have to change to her legal name. Why don't you just tell him that, so that he won't have a sore point."

Seeing his wife saying that, Sebastian was moved. He handed the child in his arms to Aunt Lewis, and then he helped Sabrina sit down slowly. "Sean Ford has committed so many sins in his life. It truly had accumulated years of blessings in his past life to be able to get such a daughter-in-law like you when he is already so old." 1 Sabrina also sighed. "He is already so old. Why should I argue with him? Besides, he also had never harmed my life. He had just lied to Aino once at best. To put it bluntly, it was Rose and Lily who had talked him into lying to Aino. Actually, your father is..." 1 Sabrina truly wanted to tell Sebastian that the way Sean treated him was a million times better than the way Lincoln had treated her. Sean just did not acknowledge Sebastian as his son, and that was because of the rules of the Ford family. However, Sean still secretly knew to give Sebastian money and let Sebastian go to the best university in the world. Sean knew that even if Sebastian did not have the proper title, he also had to let Sebastian live his life as the topmost noble young man in the world. 1 What about Lincoln? He clearly knew that Sabrina was his biological daughter, but he could abandon her since childhood, she had come to his side at the age of twelve after many hardships, but he tried every possible way to abuse and oppress her. she finally went to college with a great deal of effort, but Lincoln actually exhausted all his ways to set her up and made her go to prison in Selene's place as her scapegoat. Even in prison, Lincoln still did not let her go and still wanted to use her. Although that time that he had used her unexpectedly helped her and Sebastian to get married, Sabrina was still hateful. The person Sabrina hated the most in this life was not Jade or Selene.

Chapter 2015 Instead, it was Lincoln. Once he thought of such a father like Lincoln, Sabrina would think that Sean actually was a million times better than Lincoln. Who would not want a father in this life?

She wanted one. However, it was already impossible for her in this life. Her mother, Gloria, also wanted a father, but Sabrina's grandfather also had filled her mother's childhood and youth with trauma. Even if Gloria wanted to forgive such a father, she could not find a reason to convince herself. However, Sebastian's situation was different. Sean was not that bad.

"Just forgive him, Sebastian. I actually don't have the slightest bit of affection for him at all as he is not my father, after all. However, Sebastian, you are now a father to two children. We will have more children in the future. That kind of feeling when a few children call you their dad...well, just forgive him, alright?"

Sabrina looked at Sebastian very sincerely. Sebastian held Sabrina's hand for a very long time and just could not let it go. He was thinking to himself that the luckiest thing a person could get in this life was finding a partner who would be very supportive of you, who knew you very well, and at the same time, be the person your mind could rely on.

Sebastian was very strong. No one in South City was stronger than him. However, he also needed a source of support to rely on in the dead of night. Sabrina was Sebastian's greatest support in this life. He felt incomparably touched.

He glanced at Aino. "Aino, send your brother back to the nursery together with Grandma Lewis.

Try to rock your brother in the cradle and let me see if you can put him to bed."

"Dad, you've underestimated me too much! I am best at coaxing my brother! Don't worry! Leave it to me! I'll put my brother to bed!" Aino and Aunt Lewis went to the nursery together.

"What's the matter? what do you have to say that couldn't be said in front of Aino?" Sabrina immediately asked Sebastian.

Sebastian took a long and deep breath. "L..have already forgiven my father. I saw the side of him where he is old. I saw him being lonely and helpless in the Ford Residence, but he still had to take care of my grandma, so I forgave him. Do you know what else he told me? He told me that he did not mind about Aino and her brother's last name. It would not be a problem for him if their last name was Scott, Shaw, Summer, or even Lynn. He only had one wish. He wanted to see Aino and her brother. Grandma, included, also wanted to see them both."

Sabrina was speechless. The crux of the issue at that moment was Aino. Aino would be terrified at the mention of her grandfather. The child had been hurt too deeply.

"Maybe the child will never be able to trust her grandpa again in this life. Let's wait for a longer time to pass and see," Sabrina said regrettably.

"Mm-hmm." Sebastian nodded. Time was a marvelous thing. Half a year was very short in one lifetime. However, half a year was also very long for the Ford family. However, half a year also went by in a blink of an eye.

Aino had graduated from kindergarten. Sebastian took her to the best public kindergarten nearby for the test and her results were so good that she placed first among all the children who came to take the test. That ranking made Aino feel incomparably smug and she wanted to show off very badly.

"Aino, who do you hate the most?" asked Sebastian.

Aino gave it a thought. "I used to hate grandpa the most in the past, but after not seeing him for half a year, I also don't hate him that much anymore. Forget it. I won't hate him anymore in the future..."

"How could you not hate him? You have to continue hating him! Take your best result to that old man and show off to him! Piss him off!" Sebastian immediately said.

Aino was excited. "Hey, that is a good idea!"

Chapter 2016 It was not until half a year after the death of Henry Ford, that Sebastian brought Sabrina, Aino, and also Louie back to the Ford Residence again. During that period, Sebastian had only come to the Ford Residence, but Sabrina and the children had never come over.

The large Ford Residence was once so brilliant, lively, and grand, but it was so desolate at that moment. There were only two people in the entire house, who were Old Madam Ford and Sean.

However, they had more than 20 maids working in the house. Old Madam Ford usually never leaves the house, she spent most of her time sitting and praying in her room while Sean only came over to her room when it was time for him to send her meals to her. As for the rest of the time, Sean would be staying alone.

There were also many times when Sean actually asked his driver to take him to secretly visit Aino at her kindergarten. However, he also only glanced at her from afar. Sometimes he also could not even get a glimpse of her. That was because Aino was not able to appear on the field inside her kindergarten to play every day. However, when Sena could catch sight of her, Sean would always end up covered in tears as he watched Aino smile, jump, and play with that agile and healthy little body of hers. 1 "Aino, the yard at my house is much larger than this kindergarten. Come to my house and I can play with you. Aino..."

Sean called out softly while tears streamed down his face. Only the driver behind him could hear him. The driver could not bear to see him like this, so he gently said, "Master, let's...go back, alright?"

Sean turned his head around and looked at the driver with her eyes welled up in tears. "Carl, you...can never toy with women in the future. You can never do that! You can't cheat her feelings, especially when you can't marry her. That's because...because...every action in this world would have a reaction. You will have to pay for all of your past mistakes."

Carl was speechless. Sean was still crying. "Did you see that? My granddaughter is so cute, pretty, and healthy, who do you think she looks like?"

In order to comfort Sean, the driver then blurted out. " Master, everyone in the house could tell from a long time ago that your granddaughter looks most like you.

II "Nonsense! How can you be a driver like this? How can you talk such nonsense?" Sean scolded the driver. The driver was speechless.

Did he accidentally polish the wrong apple? Could it be that was not what the old man meant?

Every single person in the entire Ford Residence knew that Master Ford had been sweetly missing his grandson and granddaughter. He particularly missed his granddaughter, Aino, and had been chanting about it all day long. Sometimes, he would even talk to himself. "Am I Aino's grandfather? Maybe I am not. If not, why wouldn't Aino acknowledge me?"

The maids would then console him heart by saying, " Don't worry, Master. You certainly are the little princess's grandfather. You didn't see it, but Aino and you looked very alike."

Once he heard such words, Sean would smile.

However, this time, Sean looked at the driver with his eyes welled up with tears. "What nonsense are you saying? Aino is not like me! Aino looks like her grandmother, her late grandmother!"

The driver was speechless. Did the little princess' grandmother not become mentally ill and was sent to the psychiatric hospital? The driver was a new recruit and had only worked for the Ford family for half a year, so he was not too familiar with the Ford family's past. 1 "Her grandmother is very pretty. She was also a little princess and an outstanding student when she was young! I was the one who ruined her life. I had ruined her whole life! Thinking back, the thing she had told me the most back then was that she wanted to wear a wedding dress. She felt that a woman would have lived in vain if she had not worn a wedding dress in her life. However, she never got to wear a wedding dress in her life. It was me. It was because of me that she never got to be married in this life. I have caused her to carry the name as a homewrecker for life. I caused her to be depressed her whole life."

Chapter 2017 After he wiped off his tears and snots, he said to himself again, "Hey, have you seen it now, Grace? This is all yours now. Your son, your grandchildren, and the entire Ford family is all yours now, Grace. Can your spirit in heaven see the punishments I have to endure? I don't want anything. I just want my grandchildren to speak to me."

After the driver, who was next to him, heard him say that, he could not bear to accompany Sean and be sad together with him. "Master, let's...go home, alright?"

"Mm-hmm." The old man did not get angry this time.

He silently followed the driver into the car, and then was driven home by the driver. When the car arrived at the entrance to the Ford Residence and when Sean saw Sebastian's car there, Sean did not feel there was anything strange. After all, Sebastian had been coming to the Ford Residence every week to visit his father and grandmother. It was until he got in the house and saw that all the maids at home were jogging everywhere while some were holding lollipops, and some holding baby's toy, and all of them were frantically running towards the old Madam Ford's room that Sean noticed that something was wrong.

He grabbed one of the maids and asked, "What's the matter? what is going on with all of you?"

"Oh, Master Ford, why are you still here? Both of your grandchildren are here! They are in the old Madam Fords room!" the maid said.

Sean thought that he had heard it wrong, "what?"

However, the maid had ran off with snacks. That was the Old Madam Ford's orders. If they did not run faster, the old Madam Ford would deduct their pay.

Sean, who was behind the maid, was first stunned, and then he suddenly burst into tears. "My grandchildren? Both of my grandchildren are here?"

Both of them? He immediately ran like a rabbit and rushed like mad to his mother's room. The seventy years old elderly man was unexpectedly as swift as the wind as he ran off at that moment.

Before he got to the Old Madam Ford's room, Sean heard Aino's voice. "Great-grandma, I had not seen you for half a year. You've gotten younger."

The Old Madam Ford was smiling from ear to ear. " My Aino, how come you're so good at talking? I had not seen you for half a year, and you've grown taller. Tell me, what would you like to eat today? I'll get someone to make it for you."

"Well..." Aino thought about it for a long time. The seven-year-old little girl already knew to take care of her outer beauty and was already afraid of gaining weight.

Before Aino could answer, Louie, who was held in Sabrina's arms, looked at his great-grandma and cooed. "Ah-ah, oh-oh, ah-oh. Oh-oh-oh!" A series of gibberish baby talk made the old Madam Ford dumbfounded, she then burst out laughing immediately after that.

At that moment, the old Madam Ford truly seemed like she had gotten ten years younger. She could not care about Aino anymore, but she raised both of her aged arms and wanted to hug her great-grandchild. Her great-grandchild also opened his arms and wanted to hug his great- grandma.

Aino pretended to be angry and pouted her lips. " Hmph! Great-grandma, you're not well behaved at all. You were still talking to me just now, but you want to talk to my brother now!"

In fact, the little girl liked his brother the most. Usually, when came home after school, she would have to hug her brother and kiss him to her heart's content. She was just joking with her great grandmother. However, she did not expect that someone would suddenly barge in from outside the door behind her and said to Aino with incomparable excitement. "That's not necessary, baby. Your great grandma ignored you, but I'll talk to you. г 11 pay attention to you.

Look at how many delicious snacks I have bought for you."

Sean was carrying a pile of snacks and toys in his hands and was as happy as a child while he was standing in front of Aino. There were several maids behind him with a helpless expression, clearly, they were the ones who had just bought the snacks, who did the credit end up in Master Ford's hands?

Aino was speechless.

Chapter 2018 Sabrina immediately stood up and called out gently, " Mister Ford."

She had not seen Seen for half a year and he had aged a lot. He had also lost a lot of weight. It was not that she was unwilling to come to visit Sean. It was mainly because she had two children at home and her son was still breastfeeding. Also, she had started working recently, so she would rush home every day after work. The second reason was Aino.

Sean had lied to Aino the last time and caused a great trauma in Aino's heart, she was just a six-year- old child and she did not have such a strong mind, so her parents were very protective of Aino. Sabrina had always been siding with Aino and she told Aino every time, "If you hate your grandpa, then I also will not forgive him. He was the one at fault for that incident."

It took her six months to persuade Aino into not hating Sean that much anymore. Sometimes, Aino would also say some things like a little adult. "Well, I think my grandpa must have fallen into some bad people's trap back then and was cheated by the bad people."

"How did you know?" Sabrina asked.

"I can already understand many TV series for grown ups now, alright? In those series, there were many scenes with misunderstandings. It got me thinking, since my grandpa is my father's biological father, which is just like me and my dad, then he has no reason to harm Dad's loved ones, right? He should have been set up by someone else then."

Sabrina went along with Aino's words. "That's right! He was set up by someone else."

Aino raised her head and glanced at her mother. " Mom, he is already such an old man, do you know why he was set up by others?"

Sabrina looked at Aino with confusion. "Why?"

"Because Grandpa is not close with US in his heart. He did not love US. If he wholeheartedly sided with US and loved us, then how could he be cheated and fall into their trap? Am I right, Mom?" Aino was very good at analyzing things.

Sabrina was speechless. She suddenly realized that the child had grown up. The child could already tell the right from the wrong for many things. The things that Sean had done, even Sabrina would also hate this father-in-law of hers, let alone letting Aino hate him and also leaving a trauma in Aino.

However, Sabrina has too many people to hate in this life.

First of all, her own father was the person she hated incomparably. With her own father as a comparison, Sabrina's prejudice against her own father-in-law was much less. On top of that, Sabrina had to consider Sebastian's feelings as well. Sebastian was a cold and vicious person, but his relatives were already fewer and fewer. His mother's and younger twin brother's passing had given him a huge blow. In general, Sean did not abandon Sebastian and did not stop supporting him. Sean had only been indifferent towards Sebastian and had not used the right methods to handle things, but he was not overly vicious. Therefore, after considering all aspects.

Sabrina suppressed all of the hate she had for Sean.

However, even so, Sabrina also wanted to wholeheartedly protect her own baby. If Aino chose not to forgive her grandfather, then Sabrina would forever be siding with her daughter in this life. That was why Sabrina did not force her daughter and make her forgive her grandfather at that time. However, it was one matter to not forgive him, but since they had already come to the Ford Residence, she would still address Sean in front of him.

Sean was so excited that his voice was trembling immensely. "Sabrina, you...you're so thin. You're just breastfeeding a child, why could you get so thin? Did the maids at home not take good care of you?

Why don't you..get a few maids over from here and let them specially cook for you. Your grandma and I won't need so many maids here. You're more important. Of course, you have to take care of your children, but your health is also very important."

Sean's tone was as if he was Sabrina's biological father. Sabrin was truly touched for just a moment.

She was very touched.

Chapter 2019 In the past couple of years, she had also occasionally gone to visit Lincoln. However, Lincoln's attitude towards her had always been more fawning over her than genuinely loving. Therefore, Sabrina had always felt nothing for her own biological father. Sean, on the other hand, had a very strong sincerity.

"Mister Ford..." Sabrina did not know what to say.

Sean smiled instead. "Sabrina, I... I already knew very well that I was wrong. I...don't ask for anything. To be able to end up like this today and stay safe and soundly by your grandma, I already felt that the heavens had already blessed me very much. I had already figured many things out.

"Grandma and I are already very old. It doesn't matter if we're eating well or not in the future. We had more than enough maids at home so you don't have to worry about US. The main thing you have to do is to raise your children well. If..."

Speaking of that, Sean looked at Aino. "If Aino really doesn't want to see me in the future, then just don't bring her over anymore. I'm afraid...that I had already hurt her with things I have done to her. I'm already too embarrassed to meet your grandpa and great- grandpa in the heavens. If Aino's personality was affected by me in the future, then I truly would be too embarrassed to meet the forefathers of the Ford family in the future.' Speaking of that, tears started to flow down Sean's cheeks again.

"Mister Ford...don't be upset anymore. Aren't we here to see you now?" Sabrina said.

At that moment, Aino rolled her eyes at Sean in annoyance, "old man! You're already so old and you're still crying and crying. Can't you be a little stronger?"

Sean was speechless. After a long while, he said, " Huh?" That expression was adorable. It was that kind of expression when he was so surprised all of a sudden and was unable to regain his senses. Was Aino talking to him earlier on?

Aino looked irritatedly at Sean. "Seeing that you're so pitiful, I don't even want to bully you anymore. I originally wanted to show off my test results in front of you but forgot it. It won't be a blow to you anymore. Aino thought that since her grandfather did not love her at all, if she were to tell him the news of her placing number one in the test, her grandfather would certainly be pissed off to no end. However, when she saw that the old man was so weak at that moment, Aino was slightly unable to bear with it anymore, she did not want to bully the weak. 1 However, what Aino did not expect was that Sean got even more excited after he heard Aino saying that. He smiled and said in excitement with his old voice, " Aino, what did you say? Tell me again. Tell me again. You went for the elementary school registration and you placed first in the test? You got first place?"

Sean's expression was as if Aino had been accepted to the best college in the country. He was beyond excited.

Aino rolled her eyes again. "Are you sure you can take it after you hear it?"

"I can take it. I can take it very well." Sean laughed. Not only could he take it, but he could even become ten years younger after hearing such good news.

"Well, I signed up for a test today and I got first place, " Aino boasted greatly.

Since the old man was not afraid of being bullied, she just went on to bully him. However, unexpectedly, the old man half bent over his body and then he smiled and said in a very flattering manner, "Aino, look, these are all the toys and also the snacks I have bought for you.

Do you like it?"

"Master, those are..." One of the maids behind him was not happy.

"Go! Go and do whatever you should be doing!" Sean scolded the maids behind him.

The maids then dispersed in a flurry. Only the entire Ford family was left inside the old Madam Ford's room, which was not too big. The Old Madam Ford was carrying her little great-grandson in her arms while looking at Sean coaxing Aino with his face covered in smiles. Looking at Aino's proud little appearance, old Madam Ford felt so sweet in her heart as if it was stuffed with honey.

She was smiling, but suddenly she stopped smiling.

"Grandma?" Sebastian quickly reacted and took Louie away from her hands.

Old Madam Ford then hung her head following that. "Grandma!" Sebastian suddenly shouted.

Chapter 2020 The old madam of the Ford family had just suddenly passed away like that. 1 Perhaps when Henry had passed away, she had already wanted to follow him. After all, Old Madam Ford was more than a hundred years old. However, once she thought of her son getting older but ended up being a lonely man where even his granddaughter did not acknowledge him, she felt worried about her son. At that moment, seeing that her son had already reunited with his family and they had reluctantly reconciled with each other, she already felt relieved.

The sudden passing of Old Madam Ford got Sebastian busy again for a while. He had to mourn at the wake and also received the people who came to offer their condolences.

The guests who came to offer their condolences were not less than those who came for old Master Ford's funeral half a year ago. On the contrary, even more people came.

The biggest hardship the Ford family had encountered in the past six months was Aino and Sabrina being held hostage by Malvolio. Thinking back, how many people had been thinking behind Sebastian's back half a year ago that he probably would have been dead at that time.

However, in the end, Sebastian made a drastic comeback from the bottom and ended up on top.

Not only did his wife return safely, but the child in her belly was unharmed. The main thing was that that devil from more than a decade ago, Malvolio Yeatman, had also been killed on the spot.

He had gotten rid of a huge evil.

That made many people, who wanted to watch Sebastian fall, much more well behaved. Maybe those people who once looked down on Sabrina very much finally learned that although Sebastian seemed like the powerful one while Sabrina seemed like the weak in their relationship, in actuality, both Sebastian and Sabrina were two strong forces joining together.

Sebastian was very strong, but Sabrina was also not weak. In some sense, Sabrina could even be equal to Sebastian.

Take this funeral, for example. In a situation when she was still carrying her six-month-old baby and when the only elderly in the Ford family had fallen sick, Sabrina was able to hold this funeral shoulder to shoulder with Sebastian in a very calm and composed manner. Sabrina, who was very young and not yet thirty years old, could control the situation very well. Not a hint of frantic and pettiness could be seen on her. Her imposing air was able to keep everyone in her control.

That made those guests who came to attend the funeral, especially those slightly older ones who had once seen Sabrina being thrown out of the Ford Residence eight years ago, could not help but see Sabrina in a new light.

She had completely transformed into a new person. She no longer was the woman from eight years ago, who was bullied and forced to a dead end by the entire South City. Sabrina, who was in front of the crowd at that moment, was envious and respected by everyone and no one dared to even say no to her. However, Sabrina was not conceited, arrogant, and cold. She was very calm, she calmly treated everyone and everything. Her smile was also very calm but it made others feel very comfortable.

Old Madam Ford's funeral lasted for seven days and it was held very successfully. It was also considered as a celebration of her life.

Only Sean was left alone in the entire Ford Residence, know what he should do.

Sabrina was the first person who spoke. "Mister Ford! Come with US to the city."

"Are you guys...are you guys willing to do so?" Sean asked.

"The top floor is a garden in the sky, and it also has a room of one hundred and forty square meters. You can just stay on the top floor. We'll be slightly more relieved, otherwise..." Sebastian said.

Sean was very willing because he would be able to see his two grandchildren every day this way. However, what should they do with the last Ford Residence? They could not just abandon it, right?

'Just let it be abandoned!' Sebastian wanted to say that, but when he saw his elderly father, he held his tongue. "Let the maids look after it first. You can still come back to stay during the holidays."

"Good! Very good!" Sean looked at Aion again. "Aino, Г11 be staying one floor above you, do you..."

"I don't have a problem with it!" Aino rolled her eyes at her grandfather in annoyance. "However, don't lie to me next time! clearly, you weren't the one who bought me those snacks and toys, but you lied to me!"

"Roger that!" The old man actually saluted Aino. Aino was speechless.
