Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 182: Holding Hands

Jasper Fitzgerald didn’t expect her to say that and couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re thinking quite far ahead."

Sabrina also laughed and said, "I’m just being honest. You’re so patient and know how to guide people psychologically. Kids being around you would definitely be very obedient and well-behaved, they’d love you."

Jasper smiled, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You’re welcome."

The two of them chatted while weaving through the rain.

Only then did Sabrina slowly realize something was amiss.

The umbrella had unknowingly tilted towards her, and the rain had already dampened half of Jasper Fitzgerald’s shoulder.

"Ah?"

Sabrina exclaimed in surprise and quickly said, "Mr. Fitzgerald, your clothes are wet. Move the umbrella over a bit. You’ve just showered, don’t get rained on again. I haven’t showered, it doesn’t matter..."

She was only thinking about Jasper, and as she spoke, she already reached out to move the umbrella over.

Unexpectedly, she inadvertently touched the back of Jasper’s hand.

The man’s fingers holding the umbrella handle were clear and white, but his skin was warm, completely different from her cold fingertips.

Suddenly, she recalled the teasing words between Nanny Warren and Tessa Hughes.

Instantly, her ears grew a little hot.

Sabrina quickly retracted her hand, looking a bit embarrassed as she said, "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to..."

Jasper looked at her shy expression, his eyes deep, and after a couple of seconds, he said, "It’s okay, it’s no big deal, and it’s only a few more steps, a little rain doesn’t matter, let’s go."

Because of this brief touch, Sabrina didn’t dare to say anything more, hurriedly quickening her pace, just thinking of getting back quickly to prevent Mr. Fitzgerald from catching a cold because of her.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Sabrina saw it was a call from Tessa Hughes and answered it.

Tessa’s voice, penetrating, came through, "Sabrina, are you and Zara not coming home tonight? Although I said a dark windy night is good for you and Mr. Fitzgerald to develop feelings, it’s okay not coming back...

But you didn’t really have to follow through! This makes me feel like the ship I’m shipping is real!"

Sabrina was immediately startled by Tessa’s words, fumbling to lower the volume to the minimum.

Oh my... Mr. Fitzgerald didn’t hear that just now, did he?

Sabrina felt incredibly guilty and sneaked a glance at the man beside her.

Jasper Fitzgerald looked straight ahead, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Sabrina breathed a small sigh of relief and then, in a somewhat exasperated tone, told Tessa, "We’re staying at the military district compound tonight, Commander Coleman asked me to treat the soldiers. If you have nothing to do, just wash up and go to sleep.

Also, I’m planning to develop a mute potion in the next phase. I think you really need it, I’ll save you a portion when it’s ready..."

The latter sentence was said with a bit of a warning tone.

Over there, Tessa immediately became meek, quickly bowing her head to admit her mistake, "Don’t do that, Sabrina, are you that heartless? I won’t say it anymore."

Fearing she’d genuinely be upset, Tessa quickly changed the subject and asked with concern, "Are you finished with your work now?"

Sabrina took a deep breath and honestly replied, "I’m done, just about to go back to rest."

"Okay, okay." Tessa immediately said, "Then I’ll leave you to it, it’s late, you get back quickly, I won’t disturb you anymore!"

Sabrina hurriedly hung up the phone.

When she put away the phone, the man beside her suddenly spoke in a somewhat teasing tone, "What did your friend do to offend you for you to give her a mute potion? I never noticed you had it in you to threaten people?"

Hearing this, Sabrina remembered the earlier awkwardness and shivered, quickly replying, "No... it’s just... just joking around, just to scare her a little."

After a nervous laugh, she didn’t dare to say anything else, nor did she dare to look at him, just staring at her own toes, afraid he’d press further.

Jasper watched her embarrassment.

He curled his lips but didn’t say anything more.

In his mind, however, the words he heard earlier echoed.

Dark windy night? Suitable for cultivating feelings?

At this moment... it seemed quite fitting.

After a while, the two finally arrived at the living quarters arranged by Commander Coleman.

Because both of them had gotten wet to varying degrees, Jasper made sure to escort her to the door and reminded her, "Go take a hot shower quickly to warm up, then rest early. I’ve arranged for dry clothes for you to wear, they’re clean."

"Okay, thank you." Sabrina gratefully thanked him and also reminded him, "Mr. Fitzgerald, you should change out of your wet clothes and rest early too, good night."

"Good night."

Jasper nodded and turned back to his room.

Sabrina closed the door and went inside, seeing Zara already fast asleep, her little face flushed pink from the warm air.

Sabrina, feeling cold, didn’t touch her, but instead went to take a shower first.

After coming out, she felt warm and finally got into bed.

Perhaps sensing her mom’s scent, the little cub instinctively snuggled over in her sleep, nuzzling into her embrace.

That soft and adorable behavior made Sabrina’s heart melt.

She smiled, hugged the little cub in her arms, and gently kissed her forehead, whispering, "Good night, baby..."

That night, she slept soundly.

The next morning, Jasper had already finished his run and was waiting for them to have breakfast.

Zara slept well. After spending a day at the military district compound, she was in a great mood and ready to return to school.

So after leaving the military district compound, Jasper dropped her off.

Dylan Quinlan, seeing them get out of the car, jokingly teased, "Oh, what’s the situation? Why is Wesley dropping you off today?"

Sabrina explained, "Yesterday we went to the military district compound. Because it rained, we stayed overnight, and today we came over together."

"Oh, I see..."

Dylan Quinlan nodded, but the way he looked at Jasper Fitzgerald was somewhat meaningful.

Impressive... spending the night outside with someone.

Though not in that kind of sense, in the past, this would never have happened.

No one knows better than Dylan that his good friend used to not even glance at other women!

Jasper Fitzgerald noticed the teasing in his eyes and chose to ignore it. He closed the car door and instructed Nash Spencer, "Drive, take Miss Nash to the research institute."

"Yes!"

Nash Spencer was also in a good mood.

Nobody knows better than him about the progress between his master and Dr. Nash.

Today, they could send the child together; could living together be far off?

Of course, he wouldn’t dare let his master hear these thoughts.

After about half an hour, the car arrived outside the research institute.

When Sabrina got out of the car, she thanked Jasper Fitzgerald again. After saying their goodbyes, she walked inside.

Just as she entered, she ran into Josee Sheffield.

Sabrina was quite surprised, "Why are you here?"

Though they were partners, Josee Sheffield was usually busy with The Sheffield Group and rarely came to the institute.

Josee Sheffield didn’t answer, but instead looked at the car she just got out of and asked, "Did someone just drop you off?"

"Oh."

Sabrina replied indifferently, "It was Mr. Fitzgerald. Zara wasn’t feeling well yesterday, fortunately, he helped treat and take care of her."

Josee Sheffield was a bit surprised to hear this, "What happened?"

"Let’s not talk about it."

Sabrina shook her head, showing no inclination to elaborate, and just asked him, "Did you come over today for something specific?"

"Indeed, there is something."

Josee Sheffield put aside his questions and seriously said, "The people invited to the pharmaceutical convention have started arriving in Veridia. I found out that Elder Shepherd has already arrived."

Upon hearing this, Sabrina felt a bit excited, "Master is really here?"

"Mm."

Josee Sheffield nodded with a smile, "Do you want to see him?"

"Yes!"

Sabrina nodded, seriously saying, "Since I have to apologize, I should see him first; if we wait till the day of the convention, he’d likely still be angry."

Sabrina was quite familiar with her master’s temper.

Josee Sheffield chuckled, "Alright then. I’ve never met Elder Shepherd and don’t know him, so you’ll have to handle the apology yourself."

Sabrina said, "I definitely have to handle it myself!"

After they talked it through, setting a time to meet, Sabrina went off to get busy. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

In the afternoon, she left the research institute, prepared a substantial gift, and headed straight to Chester Shepherd’s residence.

This villa and courtyard had been there for quite some time.

However, ever since her master left in disappointment back then, he hadn’t returned to live here, preferring to reside in the south instead...

Now, as Sabrina stood at the entrance, she wasn’t as calm as she was in front of Josee Sheffield.

After all, she had upset him so much back then, so it was natural to be a bit anxious now.

But no matter how anxious, she still had to go in.

Sabrina gathered her courage and stepped forward to ring the doorbell.

After a short while, the door opened.

It was a middle-aged man who answered, a kindly looking fellow, the longtime butler serving her master — Butler Woods.

Upon seeing Sabrina, he smiled warmly, saying, "Miss Sabrina, long time no see. I had a feeling you’d come!"

Hearing Butler Woods’ words, Sabrina’s anxiety eased a little.

She smiled in greeting, "Butler Woods, long time no see, you seem to look even younger."

Butler Woods chuckled, "That’s not true, but Miss Sabrina, you’ve become more mature and composed."

Sabrina nodded, then glanced inside, and asked quietly, "Master, is he..."

Butler Woods immediately quelled his smile, lowered his voice, and told Sabrina, "You know his temper, you might hit a wall going in, be psychologically prepared."

"Mm."

Sabrina had already anticipated this, "I prepared myself before I came."

Seeing her resolve, Butler Woods invited her in, "Then, let me inform him now, you can wait inside."

"Okay." Sabrina nodded without objection.

She soon entered the courtyard to wait.

Butler Woods went inside to report.

Looking at everything in the villa courtyard, Sabrina found it unchanged from years past, not the slightest bit altered.

She felt a little nostalgic in her heart, but almost immediately heard a robust voice coming from inside the villa.

"What disciple, I have no disciple, wherever she came from, let her go back, what does she take this place for, coming and going as she pleases?

Since she made her choice, the relationship is completely severed!"
