“Devin, I agree with your cousin. You must come over more often for dinner. Otherwise, I’ll get into
trouble left on my own.”
“You still get into trouble?”
“I still do. I almost did just now, didn’t I?”
Sabrina stroked her hair and smiled awkwardly.
Devin agreed in silence.
It was like the sun rising in the west. Sabrina Hayes who had never ever admitted to her own faults,
actually confessed that she got into trouble.
Finally, Devin hurriedly grunted in reply and left.
Sabrina followed and caught up with him. “Say something! What do you mean by that? I tell you, if you
are not here, I really can’t promise to not provoke your Grandpa with my temper.”
Devin was silent.
For a long time, Kira stood at the kitchen door, without moving an inch, watching the two of them.
Her face was a shade of white.
She knew full well that the secret love she kept in her heart would never be reciprocated. Their status in
society was too far apart from each other.
Yet, whenever she saw him with other women, talking, laughing and then leaving with them, she felt a
sharp pain in her heart like it was being cut with a knife. It was so painful that she could hardly breathe.
Why did fate deal her such a cruel blow?
She went back into the kitchen like a robot…
When Jonathan came down, Devin was already outside his study, waiting for him with Sabrina.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Grandpa, how is Sebastian?”
“What else? This is just the first two days, it’s going to be tough!”
Jonathan had just come down from upstairs. Tired as he was, seeing the woman beside his grandson,
he replied impatiently.
When Devin saw this, he hurriedly tried to pacify both parties. “Sabrina didn’t know any better so she
was impulsive. Don’t be angry, Grandpa. She called me and offered to take care of him. That’s why she
is here since she knows that our family members do not know his daily routine and habits.”
He put it so beautifully.
Sabrina cast him a sidelong glance and she was pleased to see this man by her side, speaking so well of
her on her behalf.
So, she smiled happily.
Jonathan asked, “Why are you smiling?”
Sabrina shook her head: “It’s nothing, Old Mr. Jadeson. To express my apologies, may I invite you for a
drink? How about Yellow Dune Chardonnay from Shanty Town?”
“What did you say?” Frederick’s eyes widened questioningly.
Devin felt as if his heart was beating at top speed and for a long time, he felt that his limbs were
completely cold!
What is she up to? Devin was dumbfounded.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, don’t you remember Shanty Town? When you were at war, you liked the wine there
very much.”
Jonathan was speechless.
“However, there is no more winery there since it is now a metropolis. Therefore, the few bottles of Yellow
Dune Chardonnay I kept may be limited edition, and it may be what you drank back then.”
Sabrina frowned as she tried to recollect the exact year the wine was made.
Finally, the moment she finished talking, the old man immediately banged the table and got up all
excited.
“Are you certain?”
“Absolutely certain, Old Mr. Jadeson, to be honest with you, I have a wine cellar and a good collection
too, because I love drinking. Stuff like Yellow Dune Chardonnay, Lugyanger Bianca, Dom Zerignon… Oh,
yes, there is one with a strange name, in a green glass bottle, but it doesn’t taste so good, I’m going to
throw it away.”
“Don’t you dare!” Jonathan cursed aloud, “You brainless fool, that’s Jasper Yale! It’s no longer in
production!”
There was total silence.
In the study, one could hear a pin drop.
As for Devin, he gaped as he stared at the woman as if he had seen a ghost. It was like he didn’t know
her.
Is she speaking the truth?
Why don’t I know anything about this?
The truth was that he never took the time to understand this woman.
Talking about Sabrina Hayes…
Sabrina was the daughter of the Hayes family. She was neither uneducated nor ignorant. On the
contrary, she had been in charge of the Hayes Corporation for several years. She must have had
considerable skills and intellect to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
She must also own a considerable amount of properties and possessions.
When Devin recovered from his shock, Sabrina and Jonathan were already on the observation tower.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot long afterward, a car drove up with the two bottles of wine which were still stained with dust. They
were brought in and carried up to the observation tower.
“This is genuine Yellow Dune Chardonnay. Well, little girl, I have really underestimated you.” Jonathan
recognized the wine instantly. Right there and then, his eyes were filled with amazement at the young girl
standing before him.
Sabrina laughed.
Bringing out two glasses, she filled one for each of them.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, you have exaggerated. When my brother was still young, I had to help Dad take care
of the family business. Hence, it is expected that I own some collection like these. So, this glass of
wine…”
She raised the glass of wine.
Seeing that, Jonathan picked up his glass as well.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, with this glass of wine, I show you my respect. My brother has a bad temper; hence,
he might offend you as a newcomer. However, my dear sir, please overlook his faults for the sake of the
Hayes family who has nurtured and brought him up.
It was so unexpected of this young woman to speak as if she was the head of the Hayes family.
Jonathan was stunned.
As for Devin, who was standing nearby, he literally gaped and stared at her with an incredulous
expression on his face.
Has she gone mad?
She had dared to speak as if she was the head of the Hayes family and even mentioned that the Hayes
nurtured and brought up Sebastian.
Devin regretted agreeing to bring her here.
