Chapter 175 A Birthday, a Lie, and Unspoken Feelings
Sabrina was getting old. She already had health problems, and even though she had recove her body was not as strong as before.
So much had happened in the family lately. No one dared to tell her the truth.
But she had always been sharp. She didn’t ask, and she didn’t say anything, but she underst more than people thought.
All of this had hit her hard. The doctor said her condition wasn’t good. It might…
“She’s been asking about you every day,” Raymond said quietly. “I told her you started your company and you’ve been busy lately. I… haven’t told her we’re divorced.
“So, Agnes, could you come to the estate tomorrow? It’s her birthday. She really wants to see you.”
Her eyes turned red.
She felt awful. She had been so busy these days that she hadn’t visited Sabrina at all. She hat herself for it.
“I’ll go!” she said quickly. “Don’t say things like that. Sabrina will live a long life. She has to.”
Early the next morning, Agnes went to the Newton Estate.
Her eyes were a little swollen. She had cried for a long time the night before.
If Raymond hadn’t told her Sabrina was already asleep, she would have gone over right after the call.
To Agnes, Sabrina was like a mother. After she joined the family, aside from Judy, Sabrina had treated her the best.
Back then, when Jillian kept picking on her, it was always Sabrina who stood up for her and never let her suffer.
By the time Agnes arrived, some guests were already there.
The moment she walked in, she saw him.
That familiar tall figure stood there, looking straight at her. His eyes were filled with pain; he was holding back and longing.
He had lost weight. His features were still sharp, but there was now a trace of weariness between

his brows.
Their eyes met. For a moment, time seemed to stop. Everything around them blurred.
After a long pause, Raymond spoke softly. “Agnes, long time no see.”
“Long time no see,” she replied.
“Are you doing okay?”
“Yeah.”
“Hi, you must be Agnes, right?”
A bright female voice suddenly broke the moment.
Agnes realized there was a young woman standing next to Raymond.
The girl smiled sweetly and reached out her hand. Agnes politely shook it.
“Hi, Agnes. I’m Monica. Our families go way back with the Newtons. We used to live in Haanburg, but we moved back to Grandridge not long ago.”
She beamed.
“I’ve heard Raymond talk about you a lot. Now that I finally see you in person. Wow, you’re even prettier than everyone says!”
Agnes gave a small smile. “Thank you. That’s kind of you.”

Monica continued excitedly, “I’ve also heard about your boutique. It’s super popular! I love yo Haanese–style dresses. Can I order a custom gown from you someday?”
“Of course,” Agnes said.
Monica leaned in playfully. “Since you and Raymond are so close, can I skip the line? I heard your custom orders take forever!”
Agnes smiled lightly. “Sure. Just come to me directly.”
“Thank you! Raymond is so lucky,” Monica said sweetly. “To marry someone as beautiful and capable as you.”
As she spoke, she moved closer to Raymond and hugged his arm, acting spoiled.
Agnes felt a little speechless. She had no idea where this childish girl came from, and honestly, she didn’t care.

“You two chat,” Agnes said calmly. “I’m going to see Sabrina.”
Raymond immediately pulled his arm away from Monica and followed after her.
“I’ll go with you.”

Monica stumbled slightly from being shaken off. She tried to follow, but the two of them ha already walked away without waiting for her.
