Sabrina was highly familiar with that pair of eyes. They were Nigel's eyes.
Opposite the Star Island International Hotel, there was a stall, and Nigel was sitting behind the stall.
Obviously, he was the owner of the stall.
Sabrina was speechless.
At this moment, she felt a well of mixed emotions in her chest.
He was once the young master of the Connor Group, its young director, and one of the upper echelon members of society in South City. Even though the Connor Group was now on the decline, Connor's identity as the only maternal grandchild of the Ford family was enough for him to enjoy life as one of the most eligible young men in South City. When he was there, everywhere he went, people bowed and treated him with utter respect.
But now, on Star Island, Nigel Connor was selling his wares at a roadside stall.
A roadside stall!
A well of mixed emotions rolled around in her chest, and the rims of her eyes turned red.
She almost never cried for herself, but if someone selflessly sacrificed himself for her, Sabrina’s heart
would soften instantly.
Until it was very, very soft.
She opened her mouth and was about to call out to him, but he turned, closed up his stall, and left.
Sabrina was speechless."..."
She knew Nigel left to protect her.
Sabrina regained her calmness again, so she boarded Holden's car expressionlessly and returned to the Payne manor.
When they returned to the manor again, neither Sabrina and Aino were as afraid and apprehensive as they were a few hours ago.
Hugging her teddy bear in her arms, Aino sprinted about the place as soon as they entered the East Hall.
"Make yourself comfortable. At night, I'll ask the servants to prepare a room for you and Aino," Holden said.
