It sounded a little like Sebastian Brenand was begging.
It was the first time Stanley Batton ever saw his friend like that.
Sebastian used to be a proud man, always seeming aloof and would never beg anyone.
Stanley nodded. “Hey, we’re good friends. You can stay for as long as you want.”
Sebastian laughed bitterly. “Thank you.”
Sharon Lindt felt bad for him. “Sebastian, of course, you can stay here. I think of you as my son.”
His eyes immediately filled with tears upon hearing her words.
He liked Sharon a lot more in comparison to his mother, finding them to be completely different.
“Sharon, if only you were my mother,” he sighed with a bitter laugh.
Rachel Wood resonated with his statement. If Sharon was his mother, they would’ve gotten married long ago and none of those terrible things would’ve happened.
“I think it’d be wonderful to have another son. That way, I’d get to have a great daughter-in-law like Rachel,” Sharon said, smiling as she ruffled Rachel's hair affectionately.
“Rachel, stay here and make yourself at home. Sebastian and Stanley have been good friends since they were kids. Stanley’s home is Sebastian’s home, too.”
Rachel felt warm in her heart.
It was great to experience kindness in this world full of darkness.
Rachel nodded, feeling touched. “Thank you, Sharon.”
“You’re more than welcome,” Sharon shook her head dismissively. “I’ll cook something for you guys.”
With that, she left the room.
Sebastian nodded before turning his gaze to Rachel. “I will no longer be the young master of the Brenand family. I won’t have the kind of status I used to. Would you mind?”
She immediately shook her head. “I don’t care what your status becomes. I won’t mind at all. I’ll stick with you through thick and thin, even if that means begging on the streets for a living.
“You and I will share all the good and bad in life,” she added.
Sebastian had given up everything for her, even crossing all of his moral boundaries. She would willingly sacrifice her life for him in return.
She would be with him for the rest of her life.
When he heard what she said, he smiled in satisfaction.
Stanley and Xyla exchanged glances and smiles after witnessing this heart-warming scene.
Right then, the nursery door opened again.
