"Dad, am I brave?” Aino threw herself into Sebastian’s arms.
"Dad, I am very smelly, I'm covered in dove poop. I also got some poop stuck on me for having slept in the restroom, and I am very hungry, I am very brave. I did not ask others for help along the way because I know that there are a lot of liars now."
Speaking of that, the filthy little child's tone became glum for a moment. "Even my grandpa had lied to me. He said he is your dad and his relationship with you is the same as my relationship with you. Dad...I will never trust Grandpa again in the future. Dad, I am back already. I remember the routes, Dad. I originally wanted to come back earlier, but I only know how to return to my kindergarten from the place I had escaped. Therefore, I had to first find my kindergarten, and then find my way back home from there after that. Dad, what’s the matter? Why are you stunned? Are you dumbfounded, Dad? Don’t frighten m e, Dad..." Aino cried.
She held her father's face and she lightly hit her father's cheeks again and again with her little hands. However, her father still did not move. Aino turned her head to look at Kingston, and he was also stunned there without moving an inch. Sabrina looked towards Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna, who were sitting in the living room, and they were also looking a
t Aino in a daze as if they were wooden sculptures.
"Dad..." Aino shouted loudly. Only then did she wake Sebastian up. The phone in Sebastian's hand fell to the floor. This was the second time he broke his phone's screen within those few days.
"Sebastian! Sebastian!" Sean was shouting with all his might on the other end of the call, "Sebastian, is Aino back already? Has Aino returned? Tell me, is Aino back already? Sebastian!"
Sebastian did not answer him. He just held his daughter’s face in return. "Aino, it's you! You're back? I am not dreaming? Let me pinch your little cheeks for a while. Does it hurt?" Sebastian aggressively pinched Aino's little cheeks as he said that.
"Ouch, that hurts...Dad, that hurts a loth!" Aino shouted sharply.
However, Sebastian smiled. "It’s real. I am not dreaming. That’s not right. I can't pinch you. I have to pinch myself. Only then can I ensure that you’re really back." After saying that, Sebastian raised his hand, put it in his mouth, and he bit himself aggressively." Ouch!" He felt so painful that he suddenly shouted. When he pulled his hand away, his thumb was already tinged with blood from his bite. However, this little bit of injury did not bother Sebastian at all.
He suddenly lifted his daughter and spun her in the living room without stopping. "Oh, oh, oh, my daughter is back! My daughter actually came back! My daughter ...my Aino..."
He ran to the balcony alone and roared loudly. "My daughter is back... Oh..."
He was a man like steel, who was more than thirty years old, but at that moment, he was howling to the heavens so drearily and miserably. He turned around and looked at Aino while he was covered in tears. Kingston was also crying.
That was right! Aino was back already. As long as Aino could return, Sebastian would not feel heartbroken at all if the Ford Group had to be shut down. However, Sabrina had left. Aino's mother, Sabrina, had already boarded the ship for the sake of saving Aino.
Both Aunt Lewis and Aunt Tianna were also covered i n tears. "What in the world is this? Why didn’t God open his eyes? Why does He want to torture madam, who is such a nice person? God! You're being unfair!"
Seeing that everyone in the house was crying, Aino suddenly had a sense of foreboding. She did not ask. She just sped to her parents’ bedroom like a little bunny, but she did not see her mother's figure. Aino still did not give up. She went to the restroom, but her mother was not there either. She went to her mother's walk-in closet, but still, no trace of her mother was found. Aino turned around and went to her nursery, her toy room, her father's study, and the rooftop. There was no sign of her mother in all those places. Where was her mother?
She looked at her father with horror.
