Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 676

Sabrina called out immediately, but Aino had already fired with her slingshot. Although it looked like she was aiming for the old Master Shaw, she changed her target at the very last moment to fire towards her own great-grandfather Henry. The capsule hit its target perfectly, causing a splash on old Master Henry as well. Luckily, Aino had used the capsule filled with sugary water this time. The old Master licked the water dripping from his face and realized that it was sweet. He looked over at Aino to find the little girl glaring back with her hands propped on her hip.

"You cranky old man, you bullied my mommy! I am never calling you great-grandpa or play with you anymore! I'm going to hit you with this slingshot until you cry every time I see you from now on! Hmph!"

"Oh my..." Old Master Henry was not at all offended by his great-granddaughter's ruthless prank. Instead, he chuckled and started to slowly walk towards Aino with his hunched back and trembling feet. "Aino, my precious little great-granddaughter, come here. Let me hold you. Great-grandpa wants to see if you have grown taller and heavier."

"You cannot hold me! I hate you! You teamed up with other people to bully my mommy!" Aino slipped away like a fish and escaped the old man's arms. Henry was almost to his hundred now, so there was no chance he could catch up to the small child of five years old.

Aino ran off to a certain distance, before stopping and said, "Apologize to mommy!"

Aino had always been fierce and brave when it came t o protecting her mother and was not willing to compromise. "You don't want to say you're sorry? Then I'm asking daddy and mommy to never talk to you. I am never coming back here again! Hmph!"

Seeing how firmly his great-granddaughter stood up against him, Henry knew that he had no choice but to step down. He had conspired with the old Master Shaw over the past few days to prepare for this war against his granddaughter-in-law, and still he had failed in the end. At that very moment, Henry was overwhelmed by the sudden realization that being almost a hundred years old, he was far too old to be holding onto prejudice. His grandson had every right t o marry a woman that he loved, and what difference would it make who he chose?

"I'm sorry," she said, "Sebastian is my husband, so I will come visit with your permission, and stay away if you don't want me here. But I can't bring myself to forgive someone who has caused so much suffering in my life. Please don't force me to or try to convince me into forgiving, simply because that is the 'right' thing t o do."

Sabrina was neither overbearing nor servile as she spoke, with no reservation or fear that she would enrage anyone. Old Master Henry was shocked to realize that his granddaughter-in-law was a woman of integrity, more so than Selene could ever be.

Affected by his new-found respect for Sabrina, the old man responded modestly, "That's my fault, I apologize for saying it wrong. I shouldn't have sought your forgiveness. I should be making you a promise that I will make it up to you in the future"
