Chapter 211 Antonio's Kiss
Upon hearing the unpleasant name, Antonio couldn't help but tense up again. He didn't want Sarah to constantly reminisce about the past and, more importantly, didn't want those things to ruin their relationship once again.
But since Sarah rarely confided in him, Antonio simply nodded solemnly, encouraging her to continue.
"After her situation was resolved, I accidentally learned from my so-called father that I am not his biological daughter..." Sarah's voice was calm, but Antonio instinctively tightened his grip on her shoulder. The thought of her father's attitude towards her pained him greatly.
Sarah patted his hand on her shoulder and sighed. "At that time, I was also shocked. But I gradually realized why he had treated us so poorly all those years. I used to blame myself for not doing well enough, then I thought it was his favoritism. It wasn't until that moment that I suddenly understood, and the weight in my heart became lighter..."
Sarah finished speaking all her thoughts at once, but there was still a tinge of sadness in her eyes. He knew she was still troubled by it. If she had a biological father who showed her more love, he believed Sarah would have been happier and not as distant when he first met her.
Antonio embraced Sarah tighter and tentatively asked, "Do you want to find your biological father?"
Upon hearing this question, a glimmer of hope flashed in Sarah's eyes. But then she looked apprehensively at the photo of the tombstone and shook her head in the end.
"I don't know if my mother ever tried to find my biological father before, and I don't know what the situation is or if he betrayed my mother..."
Antonio listened to her words, his brows furrowing. He could sense Sarah's fear, but these were no easy matters. Moreover, she had been talking about her mother's actions without revealing her own desires.
"What about you? Do you want to know who your biological father is?"
Antonio didn't want Sarah to have any regrets that couldn't be erased from her life.
Sarah let out a sigh. "I do... But it's been so many years, and I don't have any evidence or keepsakes. How can I find him amongst the vast sea of people?"
Upon hearing Sarah's words, Antonio rested her head on his shoulder and promised firmly in her ear, "Leave this to me. If you want to meet him, I will find him for you."
At that moment, Antonio had no idea that Sarah's biological father was someone he had already met long ago...
Upon hearing Antonio's solemn tone, a hint of moisture filled Sarah's eyes.
"Thank you, Antonio..." she sincerely said, and the sadness in her heart gradually dissipated.
Suddenly, Antonio firmly grasped her hand and led her closer to the tombstone. "Mom, rest assured. From now on, I will take care of Sarah."
He spoke and bowed to Sarah in front of the grave as if making a solemn promise.
Sarah instinctively held Antonio's hand in return.
Leaving the cemetery, the two of them headed to the company.
As soon as they entered the building, Sarah distanced herself from Antonio.
Helpless in his heart, Antonio still chose to respect her wishes.
On the way, numerous employees watched Sarah in awe, whispering among themselves. When she finally entered Antonio's office, the commotion outside grew.
James knew Sarah had arrived, so he quickly brewed two cups of coffee and brought them into the office.
Antonio said, "James, starting from today, Sarah will be my assistant. You will be promoted to manager."
Sarah happily smiled. "Congratulations, congratulations, we will be coworkers from now on."
"Mrs. Valencia, thank you for this!" James was joyful.
If it weren't for Antonio wanting to keep his wife by his side as his assistant and taking James' position, he might have had to wait for several more years for a promotion!
He expressed his gratitude several times in the office, then happily left to tidy up Sarah's workspace.
Once James left, Antonio pulled Sarah closer to him. "How about we add a desk beside mine for you? You can work here from now on."
Sarah looked at Antonio, who had a slightly ambiguous expression, and her face blushed slightly. "No, no, no... It's better for me to be outside! I was parachuted in, so we shouldn't make it any more special."
Just as she finished speaking, she noticed Antonio's face immediately droop, showing a trace of... sadness?
Sarah's heart suddenly softened.
Antonio approached her, his eyes filled with burning eagerness. "Negotiations require capital. To meet your conditions, shouldn't you give me something in return..."
Sarah's face turned slightly red. 'Is he asking for a kiss?'
