Remarried Wife: She will Remarry, But Another Person-Chapter 183: If It Really Doesn’t Work, Just Kneel a Few More Times
Sabrina Hayes stood outside. Despite being mentally prepared, hearing those words still inevitably made her somewhat sad...
In this sadness, there was more self-blame.
She knew that it was she who broke the old man’s heart.
Everything was her fault; it was right for her mentor to be angry.
Even if it takes a beating or scolding, she wouldn’t object!
With this thought, Sabrina knelt down directly, loudly saying inside, "Mentor, I’m sorry, it was my fault back then. I shouldn’t have ignored your words, shouldn’t have doubted your judgment, deciding to act willfully. Now paying the price is my own doing!
I came today not daring to expect your forgiveness, only to make a sincere apology.
Back then I betrayed your trust, broke your heart, and failed as a disciple, I’m in the wrong, and I haven’t been filial. I will always sincerely repent...
Switching careers was my folly; now returning to my old profession, perhaps I cannot achieve your lifetime accomplishments, but this will become my goal, and I will persevere with faith, never giving up easily again!"
After her voice fell, the villa was silent.
She did not hear Mentor’s voice, and he seemed not to want to come out either.
Sabrina felt sad and disappointed.
Mentor... is he unwilling to even see me?
Sabrina’s eyes reddened, yet she knew that all of this was her own making...
Since Mentor did not speak, she decided to keep kneeling without getting up.
After about half an hour, footsteps finally came from the entrance.
Sabrina raised her head in surprise, but was still disappointed.
The person who came out was Butler Woods.
He looked at Sabrina still kneeling on the ground, with some heartache and helplessness in his voice.
He advised, "Miss Sabrina, stop kneeling, go home for now."
Sabrina, seeing Mentor hadn’t come out, felt it wasn’t right to leave like this, and shook her head, "I don’t want to leave, Mentor, if still angry, I can keep kneeling."
Butler Woods knew well Sabrina’s stubborn nature, so he lowered his voice, strongly hinting, "Apologies can be made in batches, your sincerity today the old man must have seen.
His stubbornness you know well, you need to try several times, eventually he will calm down.
Listen to me today, get up; if your knees get damaged, he might be even angrier..."
Sabrina thought Butler Woods made sense.
She had already angered Mentor; if she upset him again, things wouldn’t be easy to smooth over.
She also found some comfort in Butler Woods’ words.
Mentor’s care about her indicates that she still holds a place in his heart as a disciple, and if she keeps trying, it will be okay.
With Butler Woods’ assistance, Sabrina stood up from the ground.
Just because she had knelt for half an hour, her legs had gone numb, and she stumbled when standing up.
"Careful..."
Butler Woods steadily supported her, worriedly looking at her knees and asked, "Are you okay? Is everything alright?"
Sabrina rubbed her knee, shook her head, "I’m fine."
Butler Woods sighed and said, "I’ll have someone take you back."
Sabrina did not refuse.
The mentor and disciple share a stubbornness.
She looked at the villa in front, was silent for a few moments, and then said loudly to the person inside, "Mentor, sorry for troubling you today. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave for now and come again another day!"
There was still no movement inside.
Sabrina waited a while until the discomfort in her legs eased a bit, then left the villa’s courtyard.
Butler Woods personally escorted her to the car.
Once back inside, he took the gifts Sabrina brought into the villa.
Inside, the old man, with gray sideburns, wearing a Zhongshan suit and exuding an air of wisdom and character, was sitting at the coffee table sipping tea.
Butler Woods took a glance and then methodically took out the gifts one by one.
As he took them out, he exclaimed, "Oh, top-notch Imperial Silver Needle, Jade Mist Tea, Big Red Robe, these are all your favorites!
And this set of Azure Glaze Porcelain, it should be a collectable from the Sungen Dynasty period?
Miss Sabrina indeed has a heart, always remembers what you like."
He intended to speak positively for Sabrina, but the old man was still angry.
He obviously caught Butler Woods’ meaning and coldly snorted, "Do I lack these?"
Then deliberately picking on, he said, "Going to The Hawthorne Family, seems she didn’t learn anything good, really thinks spending money, giving gifts can act as if nothing happened?"
Butler Woods heard this and fell silent.
The old man waited a moment, without Butler Woods speaking, couldn’t help but look back at him, "Why don’t you speak?"
Didn’t you plan to say good things for that girl?
Butler Woods sighed and said, "I just think there are things that perhaps should be told to you...
All these years, whenever you mention Miss Sabrina you get angry, unwilling to hear news of her, so no one told you about her.
Actually, her days in The Hawthorne Family weren’t as you imagined..."
Upon hearing this, the old man’s eyebrows moved slightly, although unwilling to listen, his mouth, beyond his control, opened first, "Oh, really?"
Butler Woods didn’t hide anything, directly told him about Sabrina’s experiences in The Hawthorne Family over the years.
By the end of the tale, the old man’s brows were furrowed into a twist.
Butler Woods continued, "Younger people are stubborn, won’t turn back until facing the stone wall; persuasion from anyone is useless, only when they suffer losses, they will remember."
Miss Sabrina, back then it was indeed driven by emotions rather than money or fame.
Jordan Hawthorne failed her sincere heart, and let Miss Sabrina see him clearly.
After the divorce, she raised the child alone, surely enduring many hardships.
You don’t want to see her, so you don’t know, but I just saw with my own eyes, Miss Sabrina has lost a lot of weight, she’s not like before, she’s become much more composed, undoubtedly tempered by that marriage..."
Butler Woods’ tone was full of pity for the younger generation.
Even he knew about Sabrina Hayes’ experiences, let alone the old man who treated her as his own daughter.
Only at this point, the previously furious old man finally turned his gaze to the gifts that Sabrina Hayes brought.
Whether it’s tea, tea sets, or antiques, you could tell they were very thoughtfully prepared.
And each item was to his liking.
This point, Butler Woods was indeed correct.
"In fact, it’s not just these, all these years, that child often sends things to you, especially during holidays; the gifts have never been lacking."
"Only, I knew you were upset, so I dared not tell you."
At this, Butler Woods took out a document.
It was tucked within the gifts.
Butler Woods glanced at it and knew what it was.
He placed the document before the old man and said, "Take a look at this..."
The old man accepted it silently, although his face showed little expression, neither was it met with much resistance.
He opened the document to find it was a career plan.
It detailed Sabrina Hayes’ current studio development, future expansion plans...
The contents were extremely thorough, and the old man looked at it for a long, long time.
These, Sabrina Hayes didn’t know.
When she returned home, she hadn’t yet adjusted her emotions, and the disappointment on her face was so apparent that both Tessa and Zara noticed. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
The older one and the younger one leaned over, concernedly inquiring about the situation.
"Sabrina, what happened?"
The little cub also asked in a sweet voice, "Mommy, are you not happy?"
Sabrina Hayes shook her head and said, "No, I’m just thinking about work, darling Zara don’t worry."
The little cub never doubted mommy’s words.
But Tessa wasn’t the same, she could tell Sabrina Hayes wasn’t being truthful.
She didn’t continue to ask in front of the child.
Until evening, when Nanny Warren coaxed Zara to sleep, did Tessa bring over a bottle of red wine to find Sabrina Hayes.
"Speak up, what on earth happened. I’m not darling Zara, you can’t easily fool me."
She sat on the sofa, poured a glass for Sabrina Hayes, having the intent to have a heartfelt talk.
Sabrina Hayes was silent for two seconds, picked up the glass and took a sip, then slowly said, "My mentor returned, I went to find him today..."
She recounted the afternoon’s events to Tessa, her tone full of disappointment and sadness.
Tessa felt uneasy watching her.
She patted Sabrina Hayes on the shoulder, comforting, "Don’t worry too much, I think your mentor will eventually forgive you.
As the saying goes, there’s no overnight feud between father and daughter, right? He treats you almost like his own daughter, even if he’s angry, he won’t be angry forever."
Sabrina Hayes thought so too.
If it doesn’t work, just apologize more.
Like Butler Woods said... she could kneel a few more times!
...
On the other side, Jordan Hawthorne’s people also heard that the legendary doctor from The Chiron Sect had arrived in Veridia.
He immediately instructed Chase Lynch, "Find some connections, see if you can arrange a meeting with the doctor ahead of time."
The pain of the recurring leg ailment, he no longer wanted to experience.
This time, he wanted to ensure complete recovery!
"Okay!"
Chase Lynch immediately went to handle it.
But no matter how many connections he contacted, for two consecutive days, there was no result.
Jordan Hawthorne’s patience was almost depleted.
When he summoned someone for a talk, Chase Lynch’s expression was rather troubled, "I’ve already checked, that senior is very low-key, he’s only here for the Pharmaceutical Convention, has no other intentions, so refused our invitation."
Brooke Sinclairs also paid close attention to this matter.
If possible, she wanted to invite him personally, so Jordan Hawthorne would have a new perspective on her.
She immediately said, "Perhaps it’s due to insufficient sincerity, otherwise, we can bring gifts and visit him personally, after all, people don’t turn away friendly faces, right?"
Jordan Hawthorne thought this was reasonable.
Established individuals often have some level of pride, the doctor not wanting to accept his invitation easily was understandable.
So, he instructed Chase Lynch, "Make the preparations; I want to personally visit this doctor."
"Yes!"
Chase Lynch didn’t say much and immediately went to handle it.
By afternoon of the same day, Brooke Sinclairs accompanied Jordan Hawthorne to the old man’s residence.
