Sabrina asked, "Mr Ford, I'm going to ask you once again. Is Holden at my mother-in-law’s cemetery?"
Sean said, "Hmph! Sabrina, how can you talk to me like this? Yes! I was wrong about you! However, I am still your father-in-law!"
Sabrina said, "Mr Ford..."
Sean interjected Sabrina. "Tell me a reason. Tell me, how could it be possible for Holden to come to Grace's grave? Why would he want to come to her grave? What secret are you hiding from me?"
Sabrina was speechless. The more Sean spoke with such a tone, the more Sabrina felt like he was covering up the truth. However, she maintained her composure and said on the other end of the phone. "I understand. You should not stay there for too long as well. It's easy to catch a cold in the late autumn showers."
Sean said, "I’m hanging up!"
After hanging up the call, Sean looked at Rose. "Why didn't you let me tell Sabrina?"
Rose looked at Holden. "Look at him. Do you understand what he is saying? He said he is homeless. He said the world is so huge, and yet, there was no place for him to call home. He said Star Island belonged to the Payne family, but what about South
City? That belonged to his older twin brother. What about him? What does he have? All he had was humiliation.”
Listening to Rose repeating the drunken words of Holden, Sean looked at Rose irritably. "You're just repeating his words. This indeed is his current situation, and maybe this is his fate!" 1
"How is this his fate?”
"Holden is supposed to be the fifth young master of the Ford family!" said Rose.
Sean said, "You...Rose! Aren't you just wishing for disorder in this world? Do you think that is possible? I understood why Old Master Shaw had been hiding this secret from us. If it were you, how are you going to reveal it? South City is Sebastian’s now, then Holden suddenly popped up out of the blue. What should we d o?"
Sean was so worried that he felt light-headed. He did not know that Holden was his biological son in the past. It was not until this moment that only he found out that he actually had another son. It was self-evident that he felt joy in his heart. 1
However, what now? His son only returned after he turned more than thirty years old. Could it be that it would be just like seven years ago again where all the biological brothers turned against each other, then the brothers died and only Sebastian was left? Sean did not wish to see the brothers fighting each other again.
However, what was this to Rose? After all, both of them were not her sons, both of them were Grace's sons.
However, Sean never would have expected what Rose would say next. "Let Holden be my son, Sean."
Sean was so inconceivably shocked. "What nonsense are you talking about? This boy has beaten you up with all his might and main every time, and you still want to take him as your son?"
Rose said, "I need someone to rely on. I'm already old. Who can I rely on? Sebastian? Sebastian would not beat me up like this boy, but when had he treated me nicely? Your parents have you to depend on. They even have Sebastian and Aino. But what about me? Sean, have you realized that in this old residence, especially when Sebastian and Sabrina returned, I am no different from an outsider?" 1 Sean was speechless. Rose was right.
