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

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.
Hearing her cries, Isaac broke down. “Mom, do you know what you are saying? Do you know what you have done?”
This man cried like a baby in the lobby of the Civil Affairs Office.
Seeing this, Sabrina could not take it anymore. She got up and was about to go over to them.
“Do not worry. I won’t do anything to your family. As long as you Sheerwoods leave this place and stay away
abroad. I’ll pretend that nothing has ever happened.”
Devin held her back. He stood by her and gazed at the Sheerwood family coldly, uttering those words.
At that, the family was relieved, except for Isaac who was really heartbroken.
Sabrina tried to say something.
Abruptly, she freed herself from Devin’s hold and ran to Isaac.
“Isaac?”
“Yes…”
Isaac raised his head. He was totally broken and didn’t look handsome and scholarly as he squatted there. His
glasses were wet with tears.
“I don’t blame you. Don’t you feel guilty.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSabrina half squatted in front of him, with difficulty as she was heavily pregnant. Seeing that his glasses were blurry
with tears, she handed him some tissue paper.
This was one of the things that he used to get ready for her.
In the past six months, he had really taken very good care of her.
Isaac stretched out his hand and took the tissue from her slowly.
“I’m sorry…”
“You don’t need to say sorry to me. I should be the one saying that. In these last six months, you were the one
taking care of me, tolerating me and healing my broken heart with your tender care.
“So, I was really ready to marry you.”
Finally, Sabrina said these words.
She did not hesitate because this was the truth from her heart.
In the past few years, she had been tired of chasing after someone who she could not have. As a result, she was
badly hurt. She had then decided to stop pursuing that unrealistic love and accept the one person who truly loved
and cared about her.
So, she really meant it that night.
When Isaac heard these words, he seemed to come back to life. Those eyes that were full of tears sparkled with
hope again.
Devin who was standing behind them turned pale and his lips were pursed into a firm straight line.
“Do you really mean this? So, do we… have another chance?”
