Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 351

Sabrina was a patient woman. She had tolerated being the other woman in secret for years, so she could certainly handle the current situation.

She looked at Martin with deep affection.

"Honey…"

Martin took her hand, his voice gentle. "Why didn't you tell me sooner that this was for Bella's dowry?"

Sabrina replied, "It was just a small thing, really. With the wedding date not even set, how could I go around announcing it?

"If something were to happen and the engagement fell through, telling people would only harm Bella's reputation.

"Martin, can you promise me that until the wedding date is officially set, you won't tell anyone about this? Please?

"You always have to prepare for the worst. If they don't end up getting married, Bella's reputation will be ruined.

"Don't tell Brandon or Colin, and especially not Lillian's side. Okay?"

Martin looked a bit troubled.

He remembered how his two sons had relentlessly grilled him after Sabrina bought a bracelet for a few million dollars. This wasn't a few million; this was over ten million.

It was a huge sum of money. He could probably smooth things over with his daughter, but his two sons would never let it go without a proper explanation.

Thinking about his sons gave Martin a headache.

If he told them the money was for a house for Bella, as part of her dowry, they might be able to accept it.

But if he couldn't explain it clearly, they would likely raise hell for a long time.

Sabrina sensed his hesitation and squeezed his hand. "Honey, Bella's career is thriving right now, and she has a bright future ahead of her. She's a capable young woman.

"Our baby will be well taken care of with a sister like her.

"But Sebastian was married to Lillian before. Even though it was a secret marriage, some people still knew about it.

"So, if something goes wrong before the wedding date is set and outsiders find out, and if malicious people spread rumors, I'm afraid my Bella won't have a place in our social circle anymore.

"Her career path will become very difficult as well."

After Sabrina laid it all out like that, Martin felt it would be inappropriate to refuse.

So he nodded. "Don't worry, honey. I promise I won't tell anyone, including the three kids.

"Once Bella and Sebastian are actually married, it won't be too late to tell everyone."

Sabrina smiled happily, the fatigue on her face vanishing instantly.

Seeing her so cheerful, Martin felt a sense of relief.

He realized that making concessions to see his beautiful wife smile was worth it.

Seeing that he had agreed, Bella immediately stepped forward to thank him.
