Sebastian's voice was pleasant, its deep timbre reminiscent of a cello.
Audrey snapped back to reality and nodded.
Only later did she learn that the man named Sebastian was the heir to the Ashford family, who had been building his career abroad until then.
Grace was adopted by him and cherished like his own daughter.
Thanks to Grace, the two began interacting more frequently.
She could sense the goodwill Sebastian extended toward her, but after a soul-crushing seven-year marriage that had sapped all her courage, Audrey remained wary.
She avoided Sebastian's gaze and even slipped back to Northvale unnoticed.
On the flight back, Audrey unexpectedly encountered Sebastian again, this time holding Grace.
He remained as gentlemanly as ever. "It seems fate has a way of reuniting us."
