Chapter 2285
Gloria looked at her daughter lovingly, and then she raised her hand to touch Sabrina''s hair. "My child, I am not old. I am only in
my early fifties. I have kept myself in quite a good condition, so I look like I''m forty-five at a nce. I have a nice figure, I can y
the piano, and I can dance. You''re right about all this. If I really wanted to get myself a boyfriend, with the level that your
grandfather is trying to please me and also with the Shaw family''s background, it shouldn''t be a problem for me to find a good
man."
Sabrina smiled. "That''s right, Mom. You don''t need to worry. I''m guessing that the line of men who want to pursue you could
reach the moon, and every one of them is elite. We''ll have so many options that we can pick and choose from."
Gloria shook her head, then she sighed. "But, my heart...had long been covered in holes."
Sabrina was speechless.
"I''ve been living in misery since childhood. I had been abused by your grandfather, your uncle, and also your grandfather''s wife
growing up. Later on, I was only neen when I ran away from home. When I felt sick in the Yale family''s house, who grew
vegetables for a living, my heart had already died. I''ve lost all hope. I have never thought of going back to the Shaw family in my
life anymore. I have never wanted to be a gracefuldy from an eminent family. Even though my biological father was a very
powerful man in the country, I have also never thought that I could live like a high and mightydy from a noble family. At that

time, I only wanted to have a warm and cozy shelter, what I wanted appeared when I thought about it. That''s when your
biological father appeared. He was nice to me and both of US worked together. However, good times did notst long. This
sweetness of being in love and being newly wedded onlysted two short years. Just two years and your biological father started
to dislike me. He disliked me so much that he was even able to give up on you, who is his biological daughter. Lincoln once
whispered so many sweet nothings to me, but two yearster, he was so merciless and cruel to me. At that time, my heart was
numbed. From then on, I no longer believed in sweet nothing anymore. My real love, the one that had been through thick and
thin with me and was true, was your adoptive father, the man that you''ve been calling dad for twelve years. Hisst name is
Scott. He is your father. Do you understand, my child?"
Sabrina immediately teared up. "I understand, Mom. I understand. I only have one father in this world. My father''sst name is
Scott. He had already passed away when I was twelve. I no longer had a father since I was twelve."
"The same goes for me." Gloria''s expression was iparably miserable. She sighed. "Since the year you turn twelve, which is
the year that your father passed away, my heart has died with him. I was only in my early thirties at that time. My heart has
already died for almost twenty years. Even if my heart is not dead, I will never like a man who only knew who to whisper sweet
nothings to me. Silly girl, think about it. How could it be possible for me to be in love with that kind of shallow and cheesy man
like James, who was able to make people sick just by looking at him and listening to his cheesy voice?"
"You have never liked James?" Sabrina had never thought of this.
Gloria shook her head. "I''ve never liked him!"
There was a pause before she said with strong emphasis, "I am very disgusted by James!"
Sabrina did not understand. "Mom, you''re so disgusted by him, but you still..."
She wanted to tell her mother that the way she protected James a week ago did not seem like she disliked him at all. However, it
was not good for her to question her mother like that as a daughter. She just looked at her mother in confusion.
Only then did her mother say, "I have cooperated with the police on a case! I have done the police a huge favor!"
