“Look, that woman’s words hit the nail on the head. She must have used unscrupulous methods to
become a daughter-in-law of the Hayes.”
“What daughter-in-law? It’s not even a done deal yet. She should stop dreaming.”
“Haha…”
Closing her eyes, Sasha could feel the excruciating pain in her heart. Her fists were clenched so tightly
that her nails dug into her palms.
“Sasha?”
“I’m fine. Let’s go,” she quipped before turning around to leave.
Sabrina didn’t know what to say.
“Who said I didn’t buy one for her? Am I obliged to show you whatever I bought for my wife?”
Just when everyone was laughing mockingly at Sasha and waiting for her to scurry away, a deep and
magnetic voice reverberated through the mall.
Instantly, everyone, including Roxanne, turned to look.
Despair seized her when she saw a tall lanky figure. Despite the cold, he was dressed in a thin black
tailored shirt and with a pair of tapered pants that revealed his ankles. His outfit accentuated the perfect
ratio of his body composition.
Although his gaze was gentler than it used to be, it did not diminish his dignified and commanding
presence in any way.
The moment he appeared, the crowd gasped in awe.
Sebastian Hayes!
The most famous man of Avenport is here!
Roxanne’s face turned white as sheet.
As for Sasha, she stared blankly at Sebastian.
“Mr. Hayes, it’s really you! It’s been a long while.”
When the boss saw Sebastian, he hurried over in an ingratiating manner, as if he was about to drop to
his knees and grovel.
However, Sebastian ignored him and walked toward Sasha instead.
“Are you angry?”
“Huh?” Sasha’s mind was blank. “No… not really.”
Feeling guilty, Sebastian tousled her hair and sighed.
“I’m sorry. Before this, I felt that there was no need to be romantic since our children were so big.
Hence, I didn’t buy a ring. Instead, I bought the entire company on both you and the children’s behalf
as an investment. I hope you won’t mind?”
Sasha was dumbfounded.
“Of course, if you do, I can sell it off. Although DS isn’t an international brand, the proceeds from the
sale would be more than enough to buy a blue diamond.
Sasha’s heart melted at his words.
As for the crowd, all of them caught their breath when they heard Sebastian’s words. Falling silent,
everyone gaped at what had just happened.
While ordinary people buy diamonds, Sebastian purchases the entire jewelry store.
Instead of buying an engagement ring, he presented the store to his wife as an investment. If she didn’t
like it, he would sell it and buy a rare blue diamond for her.
Damn it, what kind of ridiculous relationship is this?
All the ladies present were filled with jealousy. Even Sabrina’s hand was trembling from the shock.
“Sebastian, enough. Don’t forget we’re in public. So, you better mellow down your sweet nothings.”
“I’m just declaring my love for my wife.”
“You…”
Sabrina almost burst a vessel.
Meanwhile, Solomon and Roxanne looked equally sullen.
Roxanne felt especially devastated because her meticulous plan to humiliate Sasha had backfired
terribly on her.
She had never experienced such treatment from him before.
Despite the fact that he relied on her and obeyed her for the duration of his eight-year treatment, she
realized that it didn’t mean he loved and accepted her at all.
Only when he did something of his own accord solely for a person’s sake could one say that he truly
cared for that person.
Consequently, the brand, DS, had a meaning behind it.
It was short for “Dear Sasha”.
Only then did she realize that her assumption of her being the one to reject his advances back then
was wrong.
Roxanne’s face had lost all color.
At the same time, the animosity she felt when she saw the happy couple began to overwhelm her.
The matter was finally concluded with Sebastian’s appearance.
As for the bystanders, all of them left heartbroken after hearing his touching words and seeing how
loving they were in each other’s presence.
As Sasha watch them disperse, she remarked, “Luckily, no one we know is here.”
“What?”
“If someone we knew was here, they would likely have seen through your lie.” After glancing at the
jewelry store boss, she let out a cheeky smile.
Sebastian was jolted.
Does this silly gal not believe me?
Why is that so? Is it because I’m no longer at Hayes Corporation? That’s why she thinks I can’t afford
such a gift?
Or perhaps, I have hurt her so much that she would never believe that I was hers from the very
beginning.
