"Sabrina." Sabrina had just walked to the corridor of the Ink Garden when she met Norton.
It was apparent that Norton was anxious to find her. He cried out in concern the moment he saw her.
Sabrina lowered her head and walked as fast as she could. She didn't even raise her head when she heard Norton. Her steps were even more rapid, as if she was in a hurry, and she couldn't wait to get away from Norton.
Sabrina's face was cold. She quickly walked past him, as if she hadn't seen him. Feeling a burst of sadness, Norton just followed her and called out loudly, "Sabrina, don't walk so fast. I've got something for you."
Sabrina didn't want to talk to him at all. She answered with an unfriendly tone, "Norton, I'm busy now. If you don't have something important to tell me, then you'd better not say anything."
Mid-conversation, they arrived at the guestroom. She took out her room card and opened the door. Just as she was about to close it, Norton took the opportunity to hold the door and followed her in.
"Please leave!" Sabrina pointed at the door and
roared harshly.
"Sabrina, what's wrong with you? You don't even want to say a few words to me?" Norton went up to her and grabbed her arm. He uttered in an aggrieved tone, "I didn't offend you. Why are you doing this to me?"
His hand was tightly holding her arm. His face was very close to hers, and she felt his hot breath on her face, and made her blush. Nonetheless, Sabrina was staring at his hand that was holding her, and she reminded him indifferently, "Norton, please pay attention to your image and influence. Your behavior has already offended me a lot. Do you understand?"
Her voice was strict, and her little face was red.
Norton was frightened by her harshness. Hence, he let go of her involuntarily.
"Norton, please take care of yourself in the future. Don't tug at me. It's not good for our image. Do you understand?" Sabrina continued to reprimand him seriously. Her tone was so formal, and the anger in her voice was not concealed at all.
Norton had never seen such a stern Sabrina. Even though he offended her that day, she had obviously let that go in the past two days. Norton had even gotten along well with Sabrina. He did not expect that she would become so serious and unreasonable after just one morning. He stared at her, a little dazed, but did not know what to say.
"Since you have something to tell me, just say it. Hurry up. I still haven't finished my summer assignments." Sabrina slowed down when she saw that Norton was somewhat embarrassed. However, she still spoke in a very natural manner, as if she was doing business.
"Sabrina, have you recovered from your leg injury? Don't walk too far when it's hot." Norton looked down at Sabrina's leg, with his face full of concern. "What I want to say is that now the environment in Richards Manor is very complicated. You have to be careful and try not to stay away from me."
Norton knew that someone had barged into Vivian's room the previous night. Moreover, the security guards of the manor informed that they kept seeing strangers at night for the past few days. Norton was distressed, and he couldn't help but to be worried for Sabrina's safety. After all, she preferred to head out and do her sketching. Once she started sketching, it would be for a few hours.
"Is that all?" Sabrina frowned and replied, "First of all, my leg injury is almost healed. Thank you for your care. Then, I know what you said. You don't need to worry about me because I will protect myself. Okay, please go out now. I have something important to do."
Sabrina put away the easel, turned on her laptop, and was ready to work.
Norton stood still.
"Sabrina, can you stop being so cold to me?" Norton asked in a somewhat discouraged manner. He didn't have enough confidence. Moreover, Sabrina's distant attitude towards him made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Norton thought of her all day, and he wanted to find some time to spend it with her alone. However, it seemed that she was completely heartless. Sabrina was even more and more indifferent to him, which made Norton feel both sad and reluctant.
Norton didn't like how they were getting further apart. He thought that they should be closer by now.
Sabrina's hand trembled as she held the computer. She tried her best to hide her unease.
"Norton, you know that the Richards family is very chaotic now. You are a man. Hansen has an accident, and you are now the backbone of the family. Shouldn't you be busy helping Jenna? Why do you have to be involved with me? You should know that it is not good for the both of us to go on like this. Don't you understand this?" Sabrina analyzed very calmly.
"Sabrina, I understand what you are saying. I am doing it. However, this doesn't hinder me from caring about you. I am just saying a few words to you and am concerned about you. What does this have to do with me being a man?" Norton asked in confusion and pain.
He didn't expect Sabrina's heart to be so aloof and unsympathetic. Furthermore, Sabrina even appeared to be disgusted by his concern. After all, Norton was an emotional person. So, he felt hurt by it.
Sabrina slightly pursed her lips and turned her back. She tried her best to suppress her feelings, but suddenly, she felt very upset. She even found it difficult to breathe.
"Sabrina, please, don't treat me like this." Norton's emotions were agitated. He couldn't control them. He reached out his hands and hugged her from behind, hugging her tightly. He muttered, "Sabrina, don't treat me like this, please."
Sabrina's heart froze. Norton had already hugged her tightly. He supported the back of her head with one hand, and his hot lips fell on her red lips. He began to kiss her crazily.
After Sabrina was confused for a while, she was soon jolted from the daze by his hot breath, and his long tongue rampaged in her mouth. Norton was already captivated by the kiss. His face was flushed, and he continued kissing her crazily.
Sabrina came to her senses and pushed him away desperately. She raised her hand and gave him a loud slap, shouting, "Norton, you've gone too far."
Five clear fingerprints were imprinted on Norton's pale face. He stood there in a daze and saw the tears in Sabrina's eyes.
Sabrina covered her mouth with her hand and stormed out.
"Sabrina, where are you going?" As soon as she reached the Ink Garden's living room, she saw Carmella walking out of Vivian's bedroom, with her face full of joy. She greeted her enthusiastically.
Sabrina lowered her head and walked straight to the office through the living room. As soon as she walked in, she closed the office door.
Carmella was stunned for a moment. Then, when she raised her head again, she saw Norton walking out of Sabrina's room in a state of dejection.
She suddenly understood what happened, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Liya didn't wake up until noon. Due to what happened the previous night, she didn't dare to go to the Ink Garden's dining hall. Now, she increasingly felt that this place was growing less homely.
