The person who came in was Ryan. He barged in and hugged Ruth. "Ruth, are you alright? Did Sebastian hit you? Did he want to throw you into the river to feed the fish?"
When Ruth saw Ryan's arrival, both her legs gave out. She threw herself into Ryan's arms and sobbed hard." Hubby, you've finally come. If you come any later, I'll b e dead..."
"Look at you! I kept telling you not to be unreasonable and rude like a shrew, but you just wouldn't listen! Do you think you're still a mere commoner like you used t o be? You're going to be my wife soon. How can you be like that? Luckily I came today. If I had come a day later, you would've died a horrible death! You just don't listen to me!"
Hearing Ryan scolding her, Ruth cried harder. "I...I just wanted to stand up for Aino. I was thinking that Aino... Aino is too pitiful. She didn't have a father until she was five. She had only gotten a father for less than two years, and her mother was kidnapped. The child i s so pitiful."
Ryan glanced at Aino with a sigh. "No matter how pitiful the child is, she is not as important as your life!"
Ruth aggressively punched Ryan a few times. "My life! My life! My life was saved by Aino's mother! If it weren't for Aino's mother, would you have liked me? If it weren't for Aino's mother, I would have long been sold to those kind places and left to die stinky and rotten! If it weren't for Sabrina, I also wouldn't be able t o learn all this architectural major, have a more respectable job today, hold my head up high, and be able to marry into the Poole family. All the changes I had were because of Sabrina. It's Sabrina who taught me the meaning of self-respect and the meaning of pride. It was Sabrina who gave me a second life!"
"Alright, alright. I have kept you by my side for so long, but this is actually the first time I've seen you talking s o much and so eloquently! Don't cry anymore! Your husband is here now. You're fine now. It's safe. Don't cry, baby. My little shrew is so shrewish and forceful out there. How come you turn into such a softie once you see your husband?"
Ryan teased Ruth, gently kissing her on her forehead. That kind of sweetness and doting made Lily, whose head was covered in blood after her hair was yanked b y Ruth, so jealous that she was drooling from the corner of her lips. That also made Maysun become extremely green-eyed and bitter. On other hand, seeing Ryan and Ruth's interaction made Aino feel that it was sweet and heartwarming. She raised her little face and happily looked at the couple. Yvonne had also forgotten her fear and just looked at Ruth and Ryan with a silly smile.
Such a situation infuriated Sean again." Little young master of the Poole Family! Please be mindful of the occasion! You're at the Ford Residence! My residence!
This is my father's funeral! It's inappropriate for you t o be flirting with your bullsh*t girlfriend here!"
"So what if it's inappropriate?" Ryan promptly retorted.
Sean was left at a loss for words for a long while by Ryan's retort. He was an old man in his seventies. If things really got serious, he would not be able to do anything with the little young master of the Poole family. However, his son was different.
Sean turned around and looked at Sean. "Look! Look at this! This is the nephew of your blood brother!
Sebastian, you have always been on good terms with the Poole family and you and Alex are blood brothers! You have always treated Ryan as your own nephew, but you have also seen it! You've seen it now, right? What did Ryan do at your grandfather's funeral! See for yourself!"
Sebastian, who had not been saying anything, already had a darkened expression that was almost as black a s coal. Maysun, who was standing closest to Sebastian, had long felt the coldness all over Sebastian.
As soon as Sean said that, Sebastian spoke, and his tone was still so calm that no emotions could be detected from it. "Ryan, you've gone too far." 2
His words were not harsh at all, but they had a kind of calmness before the storm. Everybody could feel that there may be a torrent at the next second.
Ryan, however, sneered. "Uncle Sebastian! I've gone too far? Don't think I didn't hear it! My Uncle Alex and I already arrived half an hour ago! When we had just entered the main entrance, my uncle received a call and he turned back. He was going to help you handle the matters for the Ford Group! Uncle Sebastian!"
