Even Aino leaned in her father's arms and did not say anything. Fortunately, someone came in through the door at this moment and the silence was broken.
"Uncle Alex, what...what happened to you? I went to your summer house, but your maid refused to let me i n. I was anxious to death!"
Ryan was the first to come in through the door. He came from the company after work. Immediately after that, Marcus also entered. His expression was not as anxious as Ryan's because after all, Marcus was not that close with Alex.
Marcus placed the flower basket he had brought for Alex down, and then he looked at Sabrina eagerly. " Sabrina, I had a whole day of meetings at the company today, so I didn't have time to ask about you. How have you been? Is the handover process over on Zayn's completed?"
Sabrina nodded. “Mm-hmm. My brother officially became the director of the Smith Group yesterday. Since it was a weekend yesterday and there was one i n the company, all the high-ranking executives had all been called over. They have been introduced one b y one, and an explanation has been given. Therefore, the handover was very smooth.” “That's good." Marcus was relieved.
After a pause, he asked again, "Then, what about Mr and Mrs Ford, as well as Old Master Ford and Old Madam Ford? Was everything okay after we had left the old Ford residence the day before yesterday?"
Hearing Marcus asking that, Sabrina subconsciously glanced at Sebastian. Sebastian immediately said," They are fine."
Marcus then said, "Oh, then that's good."
He looked at Sabrina again. "Sabrina, I know that you’ve been through an emotional rollercoaster ride the past Sunday, but it’s alright. Jennie and her daughter had been sent to prison, and I had also sent the little girl abroad. It's fine. Everything will gradually get better."
Sabrina nodded calmly. "I know. Many things in life are no bed of roses, so it's not a big deal. I will get myself together."
There was a pause before she asked Marcus. "All the things that had happened over the weekends, you... didn't tell Yvonne and Ruth, right?"
Marcus shook his head. "I had been in meetings the whole day today, so I haven’t had the time to tell them."
Alex also nodded very seriously. "I will definitely listen to you. When your Aunt Jane returns after I've found her, I will also learn from your father and be a henpecked husband, alright?"
Aino nodded. "Alright."
"What is a henpecked husband?" asked Aino, her head tilted. Everyone was amused and laughed.
It was right then that Sabrina's phone rang amid laughter. Sabrina took out her phone as she laughed, and she did not even look at caller identification as she thought it would either be Ruth and Yvonne calling. She had been so busy today that she had not even spoken to Ruth. Therefore, there was a high chance that the call was from Ruth.
Sabrina then answered the call and said, "Ruth! I haven’t had time to look at the two drafts you've given to me, I..."
"Sabrina, it's me.” Jane's voice could clearly be heard coming from the other end of the line.
