Chapter 166 Good With Words
“Young Master!” Quinton walked toward them with Ann’s luggage in his hand and interrupted Ann’s sobbing.
Seeing him, Sebastian immediately ordered, “Instruct someone to send Miss Evans home.”
“Yes, Young Master!” Quinton had Ann’s luggage in one hand while he signaled for Ann to leave with his other hand. “Here, Miss Evans.”
“I am not leaving!” She turned around and ran upstairs. “I’m gonna look for Mr. Philip!”
Sebastian’s gaze, which was already cold to start with, turned even colder. “Stop her and send her back.”
“Yes, Young Master!” Quinton swiftly chased after Ann while answering him.
Ann, who was wearing high heels, couldn’t possibly outrun Quinton, who possessed incredible physical strength. Quinton had grabbed her elbow even before she even made it to the second floor. “Please, Miss Evans, don’t make things difficult for me…”
He continued with a smile, “You’re someone who knows how to behave. Miss Evans, I presume you’d prefer that things be done properly rather than being dragged out by my men?”
His words made her so angry that she trembled. “How dare you!”
“Yes,” Quinton replied with a graceful smile. “I dare to do so.”
“You…” As she was still struck with anger, Ann couldn’t even phrase a complete sentence.
Then, he immediately went to her side and gestured with his hand for her to leave. “Miss Evans, please.”
When she saw that, she looked at Sebastian with tears dropping from her eyes. Her gaze was full of grievances.
Sebastian, on the other hand, gave her a nonchalant look; his face was emotionless, which gave her an immediate chill.
In fact, she had always known that Sebastian’s heart was as hard as a stone.
Although Ann had been pleasing him for so many years, he didn’t even treat her like his family, let alone love her.
She had treated him well, but for him, she wasn’t even on par to Lucas and his other brothers.
All her efforts spent on Sebastian went down the drain; he had never given her anything in response.
How on earth would there be such a cold-hearted person?
No one understood Sebastian better than her. Ann fully knew that if she insisted on staying, he would really throw her out.
That was always his way of doing things—his wishes were of the utmost importance, at the expense of the willingness and pride of others.
If she was really thrown out this time, how would she have the dignity to step into the Hart Residence again?
Taking a few deep breaths, she tried to contain her tears and forcefully smiled. “Maybe that’s better. I came in a hurry today, and it’s good for me to return to tidy things up first. I’ll pay Uncle a visit tomorrow.”
Quinton did not say anything but merely looked at her with a smile.
She gave herself a way out of this situation, but no one aided her, which made it an awkward and embarrassing situation.
At this instant, Ann hated herself for being so impetuous to come here by herself.
She should have looked for Grayson in his hospital before coming back together with him.
He would definitely be on her side if he was around.
Even if Sebastian wouldn’t listen to Grayson, at least she would have someone to speak on her behalf and she wouldn’t be this awkward now.
Now, she was like an unwanted rat being chased out by the Harts.
This was the most humiliating experience she had ever had.
In the car, she was in a muddle-headed state, as if she were in a dream.
Ann couldn’t believe whatever that just happened was real.
Sebastian had chased her out of the Hart Residence!
Although he had never treated her well in the past, at the very least, he would not intentionally make things difficult for her.
Both Philip and Grayson doted on her, so she knew she had a place in the Hart Family.
However, she was being chased out by Sebastian today for such a ridiculous reason—that she looked at the two illegitimate children disdainfully. What was wrong with that? Weren’t they supposed to be treated like that? she exclaimed in her heart.
In Dusktown, even an adopted child had a higher social status than an illegitimate child, with the latter being someone despised by the entire city.
With that being the case, wasn’t it normal for Ann to look down on them?
It wasn’t just her; everyone who knew about their family background would look down on them too. She merely did what everyone else would do. Why was it wrong?
Furthermore, how would Sebastian, such a perfect person, accept those two illegitimate children and even raise them up as his own?
They would become the blemishes in his otherwise perfect life!
Suddenly, she remembered the previous time when Joel acted coquettishly toward Philip with the boy’s arm wrapped around his neck. She felt even worse after thinking this, as if all of her organs were on fire.
Even him, the reputable Philip, had accepted those two children and went as far as to allow one of them to be so close to him!
As the head of the most reputable family in town, the Harts, shouldn’t he have been regarding blood ties as the utmost priority?
Children born outside of marriage were not pure; only those born to legally married parents had the noble Harts’ blood flowing through them. As the head of the Hart Family, he should emphasize and protect the pure blood ties coursing in the members of the Hart Family. How could he accept those illegitimate children?
Ann knew that elderly people dote on children, especially those who were related to them by blood, but that didn’t mean he should accept both the illegitimate children now!
She was willing to bear Sebastian’s children, no matter how many he desired!
As long as Sebastian married her, their children would be the biological grandchildren of the Harts, with pure blood ties. Only such children were worthy enough to be Philip’s grandchildren. Who were the two illegitimate children thought they were?
That old man was really foolish!
The more Ann thought about it, the angrier she became, and she almost reached for her phone to call her stepmother. However, the one driving her was the driver of the Hart Family. Even if she made the call, she wouldn’t be able to say anything before him.
Thus, she could only endure with whatever she was feeling right now.
Her stepmother had once promised her that she would fulfill her wish of marrying Sebastian.
And she believed that her stepmother had the ability to do so.
She would definitely get what she wanted!
In the Hart Residence, Quincy and Joel did some simple cleaning-up of themselves. After changing their clothes, they went downstairs with Philip.
When they arrived, Philip took a look at his surroundings and asked Sebastian, “Where’s Ann?”
To that, Sebastian replied, “She has gone home.”
“Went home?” Philip frowned. “We’re having dinner soon. Why did she return home out of the blue? I thought she would be staying over for the night as she has already instructed the servants to bring her luggage to the guest room.”
“Perhaps she saw Maddie; that’s why.” Sebastian took a look at Madeline and continued, “It’s different now because I’ve a family now and she’s single. It’s no longer suitable for us to stay under the same roof. We’ve to avoid gossip.”
Philip understood what Sebastian said immediately and replied, “Oh, you’re right. I didn’t think about it.”
Madeline, on the other hand, was speechless. She went closer to Sebastian and said beside his ear, “I thought you said you never lie?”
Such words of his were still ringing by her ears, but now, she saw this Mr. Hart lying in front of her.
“I’m not lying,” an emotionless Sebastian elaborated, “This is called a white lie.”
“What’s the difference?” she asked.
“Of course they’re different. I said I won’t lie because no one is worth lying to, but my dad is worthy of some white lies from me,” Sebastian answered.
Hearing that, Madeline had no idea what to reply. He was really good with words!
However, she really admired him sometimes.
He could chase Ann, such a stunning lady, away without even batting an eyelid, or showing her any respect. This alone was enough to defeat many other men.
Many men would feel tenderness toward women. The prettier the women, the more they would take pity on them.
Ann was undeniably stunning; she was easily the most attractive of any woman Madeline had ever met. With her looks, she could be on par with any celebrities in showbiz.
Yet, Sebastian could chase such a beautiful and attractive woman away without any hesitation.
