Only when she was about to give birth did she find out Sean Ford was already a married man, with a wife and son waiting for him back home in South City.
That moment, Grace felt as if her world had collapsed.
She did not understand why Sean would pursue her. H e had never explained himself.
Many years later, Sebastian finally realized why. His father pursued his mother and treated her as his wife because many of the islanders still supported and respected the Summer family. He was merely strengthening his control over the island.
Later, the Ford family had a falling out with the Payne family.
Sean had wanted to retract all of his investments from the island, but just then, Grace was about to give birth.
Sean wanted to bring his heavily pregnant wife back t o South City with him to await their child’s birth, but b y then, it was already difficult for her to travel. She could only stay on the island alone. Only after Sebastian was born, when he was almost a year old, Grace brought Sebastian to South City in search of his birth father.
However, not in her wildest dreams did Grace expect that Sean would not acknowledge their relationship.
Nor did she expect that he would even say she came from a poor family background.
In a fit of anger, Grace wanted to return to Star Island, but by then the Ford Group had already broken off entirely from the Payne family. She could not return t o the island anymore.
She could only remain in exile, wandering from city to city, relying on the alimony Sean gave her every month.
Not only that, Sebastian did not even have the right to inherit his father's property, and he was forced to live i n exile abroad.
Back then, even though his mother loved his father deeply, for her son, she had no choice but to leave him and move abroad to accompany Sebastian. She worked and saved money to send him to university.
All to provide a better life for him.
Later, his mother returned to South City because she missed his father, but she was framed and sent to prison.
