Both Sabrina and Isaac returned to Summerbank.
However, Sabrina didn’t inform Sasha about it to save her the trouble. Instead, she followed the man
back to the Sheerwood residence.
“Mom, Dad, we’re back!” Isaac exclaimed in great joy upon seeing his parents, who were waiting for
him at the door, as soon as they arrived home and stepped out of the car.
Naturally, Sabrina came out of the car as well.
In no time, she discovered something about the couple standing at the door. Isaac’s father was rather
amiable, for he instantly came over and helped to carry their things.
His mother, however, didn’t even spare her a single glance. With a rather long face, she snorted before
whirling around and leaving with the housemaid behind her.
Sabrina was truly stumped.
Seeing that, Isaac murmured, “I’m sorry, Sabrina. My mother… Well, she’s still angry at me for having
been away from home for such a long time. Please don’t take offense at her. Here, let me help you with
your bag.”
While making excuses for his mother, he thoughtfully took the bag from Sabrina’s hand and led her into
the house.
Truth be told, Sabrina wasn’t the slightest bit offended by the attitude of that future mother-in-law of
hers. In fact, she couldn’t even be bothered about the woman. To her, the latter’s existence didn’t
matter at all.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, Isaac’s worry was rather superfluous.
However, it was glaringly obvious that the man was exceedingly worried about her relationship with his
mother, Rosie Hall. When he spotted Rosie looking hostile in the living room after they entered the
house, he hurried over to his mother.
“Mom-”
“Stop calling me so intimately! I thought you didn’t want me or this family anymore since you were so
reluctant to come home!”
Sure enough, the middle-aged woman plopped down onto the couch and crossed her legs the moment
she saw her son heading over, tearing into him at the top of her lungs in front of everyone.
When her words rang out, Isaac, who had gone over to ease the atmosphere, instantly tensed.
Quickly stealing a glance at Sabrina who was standing behind him, he hastily explained, “Of course
not! Sabrina is pregnant and I’ve got to take care of her. That’s why I didn’t come home previously.”
“Hah!” Unexpectedly, Rosie’s attitude became even worse upon hearing that. “Who knows whether the
baby is yours?”
“Mom!”
“That’s enough, Rosie! What nonsense are you spouting? Are you looking for trouble?”
At the side, Seamus finally couldn’t take it anymore. He glared at his wife and reproached her.
Only then did Rosie finally zip her mouth huffily.
Throughout the incident, Sabrina merely watched coldly at the side. Her emotions were not the least bit
affected.
“Don’t take offense at her, Sabrina. She just has an inherently sharp tongue. You must be tired after
spending so much time on the plane and in the car. How about we let Isaac help you upstairs to rest for
a bit first?”
Seamus personally went over to console Sabrina after having chastised his wife.
At that, Sabrina’s eyes glinted.
It was then that she swept a placid gaze over that future father-in-law of hers.
“Sure,” she murmured apathetically.
When Rosie saw her indifferent attitude from the couch, she couldn’t help growing livid once again.
But by then, her son, Isaac, was already helping Sabrina up the stairs as though she was a priceless
treasure.
“What an ungrateful wretch!” the middle-aged woman could only lambast hotly upon seeing that.
Isaac helped Sabrina upstairs. As soon as they entered the room, he frantically explained, “Sabrina,
earlier, my mother… Don’t be angry, okay? It’s just that she… She heard about the incident in Yaleview
from somewhere or someone, so-”
“It’s okay,” Sabrina interrupted mildly.
Her expression right then was very calm. She behaved so indifferently as though everything that
happened downstairs had nothing to do with her.
At her words, Isaac’s heart that had been lodged in his throat finally settled back into his chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut a moment later, his jubilation cooled at the sight of her calm and unruffled expression.
“Great. I’m glad you’re not offended. I’ll go and get you some food, then.” In the end, Isaac went out
and prepared some food for her.
Ever since then, Sabrina stayed at the Sheerwood residence.
Alas, life was destined to be unpleasant for her there. Not only was she not welcomed when she first
went over, but Rosie also kept giving her attitude all the time.
It had been agreed that the couple would register their marriage after the move, but Rosie didn’t
mention a single word even after Sabrina had stayed there for several days.
“Say, do you think she’s dumb or something? It’s been several days now and Mrs. Sheerwood hasn’t
said anything about them registering their marriage, yet she didn’t even bother asking.”
“What’s the point of asking? It’s already benevolent of the Sheerwoods to accept her when she has
been with another man before and even got pregnant out of wedlock. How would she dare rush
things?”
“But she’s the daughter of the Hayes family.”
“So what? Do you think she’s still all that precious when her reputation is now utterly tarnished?”
When Sabrina went downstairs with her pregnant belly that morning wanting to stroll around the
garden, she suddenly heard the housemaids gossiping about her.
Reputation? I’ve never cared about the Sheerwoods’ attitudes toward me.
Whether it was the mistress of the house or the housemaids mocking her, she turned a deaf ear to
them all.
But now they’re dragging my family into this and saying that I’ve tarnished my family’s reputation?
