Chapter 1798
“Mom, look, it’s Grandpa!” Aino shouted again.
At that same time, Sabrina also walked out the door clumsily. In an instant, she saw Sean standing in front of the elevator and was even holding two bags in his hands. He looked a little tired, but his expression was very pleasing. “Sabrina, you...you don’t have to make crab ravioli for Aino anymore. This is...what I bought last night from the oldest ravioli-making shop on one of the oldest streets in the city. I specifically watched them prepare the crab meat and wrap it up, and then I watched them as they put them into the freezer to freeze them.”
Sabrina and Aino were speechless.
“If the timing to freeze the crab meat was messed up, then they wouldn’t freeze. If they were frozen for too long, even if it was just a second longer, they would not achieve that freshness. Therefore, it was cooked at four in the morning and it was done in half an hour. When I arrive at your door, it’s just in time... It’s just in time...” Sean mumbled.
Sabrina knew what Sean wanted to say. He must have seen Sebastian just in time at that time.
“Did Sebastian ignore you?” Sabrina asked in slight disbelief, she felt that Sebastian would not do such a thing.
Sean stuttered. “No, no. I...he was busy. I saw him collecting his car alone and his driver was not by his side. I...I was afraid that he would not be happy when he saw me and then he would not be able to drive safely, so I...I didn’t let him see me.”
At that point, it was impossible for Sabrina not to be touched. She immediately said, “Mister Ford, did you ...stay up for the whole night?”
Sean smiled. “I...I wanted to let my granddaughter have a bite of the freshly made crab ravioli.” He held the bags wrapped in a cotton cloth and stuttered while looking at Aino, “Aino, have a bite? The ravioli I brought over for you is certainly more delicious than the ones made by your mother. If you don’t want to see me, then I’ll turn around and leave once you take these bags from me.”
Aino was speechless. She had always been a strong little girl, and she had always been very accepting of coaxing but not coercion. In the past, her grandpa had not treated her with much enthusiasm, and she had never wanted to have any affection with her grandpa. Sometimes, Aino even thought that even if she were to starve or freeze to death, she absolutely would not seek help from her grandpa. However, it was different at that moment. Her grandpa was very weak. He seemed like an incapable old man. The old man had a head full of white hair and his back was a little hunched. The way he looked at Aino was so affectionate like he was her grandpa.
“Are you my real grandpa?” Tears began to well up in Aino’s eyes.
“Of course! I am your father’s biological father. Your relationship with your father is just the same as your father’s relationship with me.” Sean was also tearing up.
Aino burst into tears, she rushed into Sean’s arms and hugged his legs. “Grandpa, I don’t want the ravioli. I just want you. There are many children in my class who were loved by their grandpas. Many of them would be protected by their grandpas when they were punished by their parents. However, I never had one ))

Sean was speechless. At that moment, there were changes to his facial expressions. He was stunned at first, then he suddenly frowned. His expression clearly showed that he was heartbroken. He handed the bags to Sabrina, and then squatted to hug Aino. “ Aino, when your dad punishes you in the future, I’ll punish your dad, alright?”
Aino instantly laughed. “Not alright! ”
Sean smiled. “You little thing, you still know to care for your dad.”
“Haha. Grandpa...” Aino tilted her head and looked at Sean as if that was the first time she met Sean.
