Chapter 31 1/3 Just then , Martha called to ask about how things were going between Sebastian and Sabrina . She had even claimed that Sabrina and Jessica were visiting the next day and told him to come home . Sebastian replied , " Mom , that's perfect . You can just help me decline them . " " My chest hurts … I think I might need to call an ambulance to come over … " Martha exclaimed in mock pain . " Don't bother calling an ambulance . If your chest hurts and you call the ambulance , the doctor on duty today might be my colleague . " He might even call me back for work . There's a first aid kit at home . It's filled with any type of medication that you could need … " Three hours ago , Martha had used the excuse of high blood pressure to get him to agree to have dinner with Sabrina . That was the only reason why Sebastian had agreed to dinner in the first place . " You brat . My blood pressure is rising again … " Martha and Jessica were friends who played cards together every week . Martha was also quite fond of Sabrina , so she would be ecstatic if her son ended up with her . She felt Sebastian ought to give Sabrina a shot before deciding whether they were a good match . " If you don't like Ms. Lawson , I'll help you turn her down . What about that young lady from the Dale family ? She's an art teacher , and she's quite elegant . You should meet her when you have time . " Since Martha had not heard a reply from Sebastian , she continued , " Speaking of which , doesn't Joseph's daughter have a thing for you ? I've met her before . " He listened to her as he focused on whatever he was doing . Glancing at his phone , he spotted Martha's cartoon profile picture . Leo had changed it for her recently , and Martha adored it . Despite being in her 60s , she behaved like she was in her 40s . " Mom , " he interrupted , ready to say something . However , Martha cut him off , saying , " I don't care what you do , but you must let me meet your girlfriend this year . It doesn't matter if you like a celebrity . " I'll be fine with it as long as she comes from a decent family . I'll deal with your dad when the time comes . " Martha was lowering all of her previous standards . Back then , she couldn't stand the thought of allowing a celebrity to marry into their family . As she lay back on her chair and sipped on her coffee , she suddenly thought of something and asked , " Weren't you dating someone when you were in university ? " You broke up with her before you went abroad . Now that you're back , you should try contacting Chapter 31 2/3 her . If you can't lower your pride , you can always give me her number , and I'll contact her for you . " Sebastian fell silent . " She might not want to see me . " There was a hint of self - deprecation hidden behind his calm tone . " Is she married already ? Most people at your age are already married . If she's already married , then it's a lost cause , " Martha murmured .. Sebastian , on the other hand , remained silent . In truth , she had quite an open mind . If her son really liked that woman , he could always be with her once he got a divorce . All she had to do was convince Nicholas to accept them . However , if that woman was already happily married and had a happy family , how could she break them apart just so her son could be with that woman ? Martha would visit Greenhill Church every month to pray , so she knew breaking up a happy marriage was a sin . " What are you talking about ? " Nicholas asked as he pushed the door open and walked in . " Are you badmouthing me again ? " He immediately saw Martha lounging on the chair with coffee and chips on the side , talking on the phone with someone . Nicholas advised , " Don't drink this at night . You drank some coffee at night a few days ago and couldn't sleep throughout the night . " Martha ignored him and began to make loud slurping noises with her straw . After ending the call , she called Jessica to arrange dinner the following night . Listening in , Nicholas frowned . " That brat won't even attend tomorrow's dinner . Who are you hosting this dinner for ? You're just wasting your time . " Martha replied , " As his mother , who would worry about him if I don't ? Unlike you , I can't spend my whole day fishing in the sun . You're tanned now . Get out of my bed and sleep in the study . " She wasn't really trying to chase him out , so she asked nonchalantly , " Do you still remember that Sebastian dated someone when he was in university ? " " I do . " Nicholas sat by the headboard and took a book . He had indeed remembered it . Having already experienced the loss of one son , he understood Sebastian's personality better than anyone as his father . Sebastian had been smart and talented since a young age , much more talented than his two older brothers . If it weren't for that kidnapping , Sebastian would not have been so traumatized by Florian's death when he was young . After all , Florian had been tortured to death , right in front of Sebastian . They were twins , so the whole thing had traumatized him greatly . His attitude had changed completely , going from being mischievous and cunning to quiet , cold , aloof , and distant .
