Old Madam Ford consoled Grace as well. "Daughter-in-law, Sean is overseas right now. Once he finishes up his business, he will come back and marry you. After marriage, you will really be a part of our family. You... Could you call me mother?"
Grace looked at Old Madam Ford, covered in tears." Mom..."
"Ah, you are a good daughter-in-law. Take good care of yourself. You will get better... You will definitely get better." The old lady pulled Grace into her embrace.
Listening from outside, Sabrina peeked in, feeling melancholic as she watched the scene.
Aunt Grace’s life had been tough. She had been tricked when she was young, ending up with Sean Ford. As they had been overseas, she never knew that Sean Ford already had a wife and three kids. By the time she found out, Grace was already nine months pregnant, and would give birth in half a month.
After she gave birth, Sean treated the two of them very well.
Yet the good times only lasted until the child was five. That was when Sean's original wife came over, wanting to take the child away and chase Grace off. 1
How could she ever agree to that?
The result of their feud was Grace bringing her son overseas. Yet the Ford family was persistent. They managed to find her quite a few times, forcibly taking Sebastian away.
The mother and son constantly parted and met, again and again.
It was only later, when her son was in his teens, did Grace finally concede that the Ford family would never allow her to bring her child away. Not only that, her son would never receive the appropriate treatment from the Ford family.
Such as the right to succession.
How unfortunate was that?
From then on, Grace no longer sought to flee. Instead, she wanted to fight for her child’s future with all her might, desiring for her son to become a proper and formal successor of the Ford family.
Furthermore, Sean was the only man she had ever been with. Deep in her heart, she still loved him.
