On the way home, Kingston focused on driving while Sebastian remained silent.
It only made Aino want to talk to him more, asking him who the man and woman she met this morning were, as well as the old man lying on the bed.
However, when she noticed that Stinky Bum was not saying anything at all, Aino decided to stop asking.
Sebastian was lost in his thoughts.
At eleven that day, just as he had finished his meeting at the company, Sebastian received a phone call from his father.
"Dad? What is it?" Sebastian asked calmly.
"Sebastian, you can't abandon that child!” Sean said o n the other end of the call.
Sebastian smiled sarcastically at that. "It’s my own child, so why do you think you have a say in whether I want to keep her or not?"
Sean’s tone suddenly turned gentle. "Sebastian! I know my words don't hold much weight to you, but let me tell you something from my own experiences. I was the one who failed you and your mother all those years ago, allowing the two of you to suffer overseas for so long." "However, I had faced my own difficulties as well.
"With how big the Ford family is, there has to be certain rules in place to maintain order. If everyone tried to fight one another for power, the family business would only end up crumbling. However, even when you and your mother had drifted so far away from the family, you still forced your way back ruthlessly. Even with your past status, you managed t o seize control of Ford Group.
"That showed me a cold hard truth.
"Why should a bastard be treated differently? Everyone born from those with the Ford name is part o f the Ford family, and they should have the chance to fight for it.
"Status does not matter.
"That morning, when you brought your daughter to visit your grandfather, I saw her with my own eyes.
"She might just be a little girl now, but I saw that same relentlessness that you have in her. That child won't b e easy to control. If you abandon her now, and don't even give her the family name, aren't you afraid that she will hate you in the future?
"Just like how you hated me?
"You are the only child I have left, I just want the best for you.
