Time had also seemingly come to a standstill.
At that very moment, Sasha and Sebastian gazed at each other in very close proximity.
Other than the hammering of their heartbeats in their chests, they were unable to hear anything else.
He said… he’s never gotten married and even asked whether I’d do it with him? Actually, that sounds rather absurd since we do have a marriage certificate. Besides, our three children are already in second grade and will soon advance to third grade.
But then, it does make sense. After all, Frederick used his photo to create a photoshopped picture of us. Furthermore, he wasn’t there for the wedding and was only forced to be there after the wedding ended. We even consummated the marriage only because he had been drugged. As such, it’s indeed true that he has never married.
“What say you, Darling?”
Sasha said nothing.
For a very long time, she looked at the man who was gazing at her with yearning and wariness in his eyes. At long last, a glimmer of mirth flashed in her now-teary eyes.
“Sure. However, you’re not allowed to abandon me during the wedding again.”
“Never again. Even if my life is under threat, I’ll never again abandon-”
At that moment, all sounds vanished.
The last few words of his sentence never came out. By then, her soft and rosy lips had taken over and a deeply passionate kiss ensued.
In all honesty, Sasha didn’t like hearing that.
Happiness hadn’t come easy for them, so she didn’t want to hear anything negative. She only wanted to hear his promise that he would never abandon her again. That would be more than enough for her.
At the same time, at the Sheerwood residence in Summerbank, Sabrina snagged a nightgown and went into the bathroom after Isaac had again gone out to customize a wedding gown for her.
She was not a stranger to seeing blood. She had never been a rule-abiding lady, so she was used to fighting and brawling. As such, hitting someone was a paltry matter.
But now that she was pregnant, she felt a tad uncomfortable—she couldn’t shake off the stench of blood.
Removing her clothes, she then turned on the shower.
Creak…
Without warning, someone silently pushed open the door from outside. A moment later, a petite figure dressed in a Sheerwood housemaid uniform poked her head into the room.
“Ms. Hayes? Ms. Hayes?” she called out softly as she darted her eyes around.
However, Sabrina didn’t hear her because she was showering at the moment.
At the lack of a response, the housemaid sneaked into the room. After glancing around the room in a shifty manner, she geared up to rummage through the drawers in search of the household register.
The truth was that she was there to steal the household register.
After Isaac learned that his mother didn’t want them to register their marriage, he got the household register from his father in advance.
Meanwhile, this housemaid was instructed to steal the household register on Rosie’s orders.
The housemaid was about to open the drawer when Sabrina suddenly turned off the shower at that exact moment.
Upon hearing that, the housemaid was scared out of her wits and hurriedly looked for a place to hide. After doing so, she stared in the direction of the bathroom intently.
Fortunately, Sabrina did not come out. Perhaps she was washing her hair or something, for the shower turned on once more after a while. Then, the glass door separating the shower from the rest of the washroom was pulled open by a fraction.
“Where did he put the towel?” she grumbled.
In the next moment, a fair arm with water droplets on it stretched out from inside the shower area.
The housemaid covered her mouth with both hands, terrified that she would be discovered after making the slightest sound. Truly, Sabrina was too petrifying. The scene that morning really frightened all the housemaids.
The towel happened to be right by the sink.
The housemaid then saw Sabrina’s hand grabbing the towel and swiftly taking it in. At the same time, she caught a quick glimpse of Sabrina’s large baby bump.
The housemaid finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to crawl out of her hiding place, a light bulb went off in her head all of a sudden. As realization abruptly dawned, her eyes went wide and she promptly swung her gaze toward the bathroom again.
Isn’t she just four months pregnant? Why is her belly so big?
That night, Sabrina’s appetite was pretty good, perhaps because she had finally made a choice and had one fewer thing to worry about.
Isaac was thrilled to see that she finished the soup he made. “Wow, you finished it! This is more like it. The baby is in its growing stages now, so you’ve got to eat more to have a healthy baby.”
He sounded as though he had been a father before.
Putting down the bowl, Sabrina got up and walked a few steps away in slight embarrassment.
“Has your mother agreed to us registering our marriage?”
“Yup! Don’t worry, for even the venue of our wedding banquet has been reserved. After registering our marriage at the civil affairs office tomorrow, let’s go and do wedding gown fitting if you’re not tired, okay?”
“Wedding gown?”
Sabrina’s gaze stilled for a moment.
Isaac then nodded in affirmation. “Yup. Although you’re now with child, I still hope that you’ll be stunningly beautiful during the wedding. I went to the bridal shop today and made some inquires. They have many styles that can conceal a baby bump, and all of them are exquisite!”
Afraid that she would decline, he deliberately whipped out his phone and showed her the photos he snapped at the bridal shop in the morning.
