"Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Poole, about just how many years I've been waiting for those weapons of yours. Based on my personal financial capabilities, to actually purchase those weapons with my own money would be far too costly for me to bear, but now, I managed to obtain them without spending a penny! I have plotted for six whole years to set up this trip for you! And you just jumped right into it. I must say, I am extremely thankful, Uncle Axel!""Why you...!" Axel raised his arm abruptly, his eyes widened in anger as he stared daggers at Sebastian. He wanted desperately to punch Sebastian's skull in, but his arm fell to his side helplessly. He couldn't unless he had a death wish, because Axel realized that he no longer had any leverage against Sebastian."Uncle Axel, if it weren't for you trying to harm me over and over again, how would I have succeeded in taking over one third of your weapons? You asked for this. Back in Kidon City, you were no match to Alex even when you ha

"Pretty Aunt Ruth...!" Upon seeing Ruth, Aino wiggled her way out of Jane's arms immediately and ran towards Ruth. “Pretty Aunt Ruth, I have something fo-"Before Aino could finish, Sabrina scooped her up and covered her mouth. "Stop it. You are going to scare Aunt Ruth in broad daylight!"Aino paused for a moment before nodding. "Ohhh, roger, Mother!"Aino then continued to hurry her way towards Ruth.Ryan, too, was shouting enthusiastically. "Uncle Sebastian, Aunt Sabrina, little sis Aino! I wanted to pick you guys up from the airport but Ruth wouldn't let me, so we have no choice but to come meet you guys here instead."Ruth punched Ryan lightly. "Aino calls me pretty Aunt Ruth, and you call Aino little sis. So what should you be calling me then?"Ryan casted an evil smirk her way. "Ruth, do you believe me if I say I'm going to tame you tonight?""Sabrina, Sabrina!" Ruth immediately shouted. "Look at him, get Mr. Ford to teach him a lesson. He calls Mr. Ford uncle anyways."

Ruth was bending down and talking to Aino. "My beautiful Aino, your mom interrupted you earlier when you were about to say something to pretty Aunt Ruth, which got me thinking, did you bring a gift from Star Island for me?"Though Ruth was an honest-to-god person and could sometimes be a bit slow, though at times she could be rather sly as well. When dealing with people her age, she was hardly as thoughtful as others, but when she communicated with children like Aino, her wittiness shone through. Ruth saw the monstrous doll in Alex's hand earlier and found it horrendous and dark with a sense of humor. The doll was huge and awkward-looking, with its teeth being musical keys. It didn't take much for Ruth to figure out that Alex wasn't the type of person who would buy something like that. None of the others would either. Even Sabrina, who was closest to Ruth, couldn't possibly buy such oddly-fashioned toys that were likely used in pranks, because she was a serious person who rarely joked

Aino sighed. "I'll show you now, then.""No! Just pass it to your Aunt Yvonne, Aunt Ruth won't look at it for now." Ruth grinned mischievously. She had been scared to obliviation and so she wanted Yvonne to experience the same.‘Hehe! I'm sorry, Yvonne, but it's your fault for not coming here to see Sabrina!’ she thought.Aino ceased hurrying towards her gifts at Ruth's words. She didn't want to show Ruth her gift to Yvonne to begin with, because she wanted to keep it mysterious for the surprise.After handing out all the gifts, it was time for Sabrina, Aino and Sebastian to head home. Kingston drove them home and when the three sat in the car, they were all overwhelmed with the feeling of returning home after a lifetime. Familiar streets, familiar roads, even the street lights felt like home. Sabrina gazed out the window.The car went towards their residential area and before they reached the gates, Sabrina accidentally saw those long-lost eyes, only that this time, she saw it di

That reminded Sabrina of her mother again. Those eyes she found outside their area were dazed, and even though Sabrina couldn't see her face, she was certain that those were the eyes of her mother. The thought of what her mother had been going through pierced through her heart like a sharp blade. She went off the shower in silent sorrow, not even bathing Aino could help brighten up her mood. The child noticed her mother's struggle and decided to remain quiet as well. After they had showered, Sabrina tucked Aino in for a short nap and she slowly drifted off to sleep after Aino. She was exhausted, but couldn't seem to find peace in sleep.Sebastian, too, was tired but he had no time to rest. After seeing that Sabrina and Aino had gone to sleep, he went to his study to work. It's been half a month since he showed up at the office. Everything was operating as per usual, with only the documents that were pending to be approved piling up in an electronic drive. After handling them all, it w
