“Mm-hmm, Uncle Holden, here you go. My mom wants to speak to you." Aino handed the phone to Holden.
Holden took over the phone. "Sabrina." He even felt choked up when he called out her name. There was not a single day in more than half a year in the past that he had not been missing Sabrina and had not wanted to listen to her voice. At that moment, he had finally heard her voice. Perhaps in the near future, he would be able to see her. This wish of his was finally coming true, even if he had to pay the price of giving u p that entire small island of his, even if he had to let his nine hundred million dollars go to waste! As long a s he could live together with Sabrina in the future and could watch Aino grow up day by day. Also, Sabrina was going to give birth soon. They would have an additional child? It was not Holden’s child? He did not mind at all. What would be the difference if the child was his or Sebastian's? The child would still be his niece or nephew! He would love them with his love.
Nobody knew that Holden had never cared for money, fame, and glory growing up. He did not want anything! He just wanted a warm and small family! In this family, the members were the parents and the children, and they all live happily and harmoniously together. That was all. That was all!
"Sabrina..." Holden's voice was so gentle as if he was reciting a poem. He did not sound like a pervert at all i
n Sabrina’s ears, but Holden first said it himself instead. "Don't think of me as a pervert, alright? I am not a pervert. I have a healthy mind. Before I left, I even gave a million dollars to another niece of mine, Minerva. I just wanted to let her study hard. I am not a pervert. I just...did not have familial affections. I have been abandoned since birth. I had never known why m y parents treated me so badly when I was clearly better looking than my three older brothers. I only understood the reason when you conquered Star Island. I don’t understand why I was left behind on Star Island after I was born. Has anybody asked me for my opinion before leaving me behind? Nobody knew that I would rather die together with my mother and older brother than being left alone on Star Island. Do you know how much I have yearned for a family? A warm family?"
He continued. "Sabrina, come with me. I know you love Sebastian very much, but he can't give you his everything. He has his blood brothers to take care of. H e has his large Ford Group as well. You’re already eight months pregnant, but he still leaves the house at five in the morning every day, and he only returns home at eleven at night. He is not a good husband. I a m! From now on, come with me instead. I will take care of you until you give birth. I will hold you for every single step you take. Come with me. I will take you and Aino, and we will go to that small island. We will plant flowers and grass for the rest of our lives. Come with me, alright?”
He spoke with great sincerity towards the end.
Sabrina was biting her lips to the point that they were already bleeding. Trembling, she replied, "Alright. Alright, Holden. I will go with you. Where are you? I promise to leave with you."
"Really?" Holden was in slight disbelief.
"Of course, it's true. I know you certainly won't believe that I don't love you. I truly don't love you. However, Aino is with you, so I certainly have to go with you. Wherever my Aino is, I will be there," said Sabrina.
There was instantly a catch in Holden's throat." Sabrina, I know that I was right. You are a good woman. You're worthy for me to treat you well with m y life. I just knew it. You're not a woman who will abandon her own child."
"Tell me, where are you?" said Sabrina,
"Is Sebastian beside you?" Holden asked in return.
Sabrina was speechless. She glanced at Sebastian. Sebastian then immediately took over the phone. " Holden, the entire Ford Group is yours. I will leave without taking anything."
