Sabrina was speechless.
When Devin saw Isaac, he got up gracefully from his chair, holding the certificates.
“Mr. Sheerwood, thank you for taking care of my wife and child during these past six months. When we hold our wedding banquet back in Jadeborough, you shall be given a seat of honor.”
Isaac was stunned.
He nearly stumbled.
At that moment, his parents too arrived hurriedly. When they saw the scene before their eyes, they were taken aback.
“You both… you are… aren’t you?” Seamus was sharp-eyed and immediately, he recognized Devin as the high-ranking army officer who had gone to their home and arrested his son earlier.
Immediately, he started to stutter.
Devin stood there with a cold smile on his face. “Yes, I was that army officer. Indeed, I have to thank all of you for taking care of my wife and my unborn child in this period of time.”
“Your… wife and child?”
It was Rosie’s turn to be frightened as she widened her eyes and looked at Sabrina in fear and disbelief.
All this while, she had looked down on her and insulted her in various ways. In fact, she had even framed her recently.
Devin nodded his head again. “Yes. You were here yesterday making a big fuss and creating so much havoc wanting to find out who the father of the child is. Now, you have seen me. What do you think?”
“I… I…”
Rosie was too scared to utter a word.
As she looked at the officer who stood in front of her like an iron tower with a gaze that was full of righteous anger, she started shaking. It was fortunate that she did not collapse and faint.
To Rosie, this was an unexpected turn of events.
She had thought that Sabrina was marrying her son while carrying some unwanted illegitimate child. Thus, bringing shame to the Sheerwood family.
On the contrary, it was obvious that the Sheerwood family had nothing to boast about.
The biological father of this child was from a well-known powerful family in the Jadeborough. He was the second-in-command. In short, what was the Sheerwood family in comparison?
With a thud, the old lady collapsed on the floor.
Isaac’s eyes, full of longing and lost in love, were gazing at Sabrina. When he heard the “thud,” he turned around slowly and looked at his mother.
“Mom…”
“Isaac, please beg this high officer for forgiveness, we had no ill intentions. Just beg him to forgive us for the sake of his wife and child whom you took care of for six months.”
When Rosie saw her son approaching, she begged like a drowning person clutching to a straw.
