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.
Therefore, 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?”
