Emboldened, the other housemaids echoed Cleo’s sentiments.
However, Sabrina’s gaze earlier was indeed so scary that made everyone zip their mouths after casting a glance on the ground at the injured housemaid.
Meanwhile, Rosie was silent for a long moment.
More than ten seconds passed before the middle-aged woman—whose face contorted with fury— finally hissed through gritted teeth, “I’ll never allow her to marry into the Sheerwood family!”
Then, she stormed off in a fit of pique.
That afternoon, Isaac, who had gone out to make preparations for the wedding banquet, came home.
Right after he heard about the incident upon his return, he hastily sprinted upstairs in search of Sabrina with no time to bother about his mother, who was complaining to him tearfully.
“Are you okay, Sabrina? I heard that you got into an altercation with the maids this morning. Did they hurt you anywhere?”
Hmm? He’s actually not reprimanding me right away for wreaking havoc in his family home but is concerned about whether I’m hurt instead?
At that moment, Sabrina had her phone in hand and was chatting with Sasha. When she heard him asking such a question after barging in, Sabrina placed her phone down.
“No.”
“Phew! I’m glad to hear that!”
Sure enough, the man promptly patted himself on the chest and let out a sigh of relief.
“Let me tell you something. Next time, don’t personally make a move when such a thing happens. Wait for me to come home and tell me. I’ll teach them a lesson on your behalf. You’re with child now; it won’t do you any good if you get hurt.”
After pouring himself a glass of water and guzzling it down in one go, he couldn’t help but start telling her to mind her safety.
Throughout it all, Sabrina listened to him silently.
When the man was about to sit down a long while later, she picked up the jug on the table and refilled his empty glass.
Startled, Isaac was rendered speechless for a long time.
He merely stared at her in a daze, unsure of what to do.
This is the first time she has ever poured me water! No, no. Let me rephrase: this is the first time she has ever taken the initiative to do something for me!
“S-Sabrina…”
“When are we going to register our marriage? I’ve already asked Sasha to mail my personal documents over; they should be arriving tomorrow,” Sabrina inquired placidly after putting the jug down.
Huh?
Isaac was so worked up that he almost shot to his feet in excitement.
“Y-You’re willing to marry me? That’s wonderful! We’ll go and register right away after your documents are delivered!”
“Okay.”
Sabrina nodded in acquiescence.
In actual fact, it wasn’t the Sheerwood family that forbade them from registering their marriage. Instead, the delay was caused by Sabrina lacking the correct documents for the registration.
And what was the reason for the delay? Probably Sabrina herself knew best.
On the other hand, at Frontier Bay in Avenport, Sasha had mixed feelings when she finally mailed out the said documents.
“Sebby, say, why didn’t Sab want me to personally bring her household register? Also, why didn’t she notify me when she has already come back?”
