Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 968

Rose immediately snorted. "You deserved it!"

A hint of sorrow flashed across Sean's face. This was the entire story of how Grace gave birth to her children on Star Island. Grace was desperate to be with Sean, she truly loved him, but she had no choice. Rose would never allow them to be together. To keep a close watch over Grace, Rose brought Grace back to South City, but she was forbidden from staying in the Ford family residence.

There were no signs of her existence in the Ford family residence, not a piece of her clothing or an errant toothbrush. She was only Sean’s mistress, and the Ford family would never acknowledge Grace or her son. Old Master Shaw even had to fight Rose for Sebastian's right to carry the Ford family name.

This drama involving a man with two wives was finally suppressed by Old Master Shaw. After they returned to South City, the old man aided her in many, many aspects. Because of that, Grace was always very grateful to the old man. She even thought of him as her father. She kept her word, living with her son in South City for more than ten years, and never once did they step into the Ford family home. She loved Sean Ford so deeply, but failed to receive the same amount o f love in return. Meanwhile, her son Sebastian, had no right to the family inheritance at all. Finally, when he was a teenager, fulfilling the agreement, Grace had to

bring her son and live abroad in exile, never to return.

Until the very moment she left the country, Grace did not tell anyone of the fact that she had left another son behind on Star Island. She did not inform anyone of this secret because, at the end of the day, she wanted to protect the child. No one knew the amount o f despair she felt, how badly she missed her child, the little boy who weighed less than three pounds.

Neither did she let anyone in on her sorrow and agony. Not even her own son.

But Old Master Shaw saw all of these with his own two eyes. He knew everything, and yet he was powerless to speak. This secret was dutifully kept, all these years until Grace fell deadly ill.

Sebastian knew his mother desperately wanted to return to the Ford family, wanted to be accepted by them, but he never knew his mother was hiding an additional layer of melancholy, a further layer of care and worry. She knew her care and worry could never b e materialized, so she chose not to tell her son, Sebastian the truth. Until the moment she passed away, she finally gave up on bringing the secret into the grave with her.

She held onto Sebastian's hand. "Go...go...go to Star Island and look for...look for you..."

However, she was frail and weak, both her body and her mind thoroughly exhausted from the hefty burden on her shoulders and the hardship of hiding her sorrow all these years. A beauty in the last years of her life, Grace was so weak she could hardly complete a sentence. No one understood what she was saying. Sebastian had no idea at all that he had a younger brother.

But Old Master Shaw who was also standing in the hospital ward knew clearly what Grace was trying to say. At that moment, he planned to let that secret rot within him, and accompany him into the grave. He had once gone to Star Island to visit the child Grace left behind. He was the fourth son of the Payne family, and was living a good life. There was no physical resemblance between him and Sebastian at all, but Old Master Shaw realized his demeanor and temperament was very similar to Grace. Somehow, there was an air of melancholy to the both of them.

He also secretly told Grace that the child was well and healthy, she did not have to worry about him.
