Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife novel Chapter 893

Chapter 893: Chapter 892

"Hey, they’re all on the house!" Sean was clearly on edge.

"No need. Getting an island from you is a big deal as it is. Thanks for not fleecing me and leaving me in the woods for the beasts to tear me apart."

"Sis." Sean was dying to ask if it wasn’t too late to get down on his knees and beg for forgiveness.

In the chilly air, Steward was continuously wiping sweat from his brow, "Ms. Collins, you’ve got it all wrong. Sean’s been digging into that clinic fire all along. Some folks are sly as foxes, hiding their tails.

Just as we were closing in on some clues, you went and rescued that kid from the cage. Truth is, if you hadn’t stepped in, Sean would’ve ordered us to save the kid. We were just waiting for the key suspect

to show, and the very next second, we’d have made our move!"

"So, I screwed up your plan?" Rosemary quipped, clearly amused.

Steward was a nervous wreck, thinking, man, Ms. Collins can be intimidating. He glanced at Sean,mentally tossing the ball into his court as if to say, "I’ve lost my voice, man. Your turn."

Sean, panicking, didn’t know what to say and snapped at Steward, "What are you talking about? We’re the ones who scared her! Besides, she was investigating the fire too, doing her part in secret. She’s the

unsung hero of the family!"

Turning to Rosemary after that, Sean tried to appease her with a desperate charm, "It’s all my fault. Hey, you’ve got those boxing gloves in hand - take a swing at me."

Rosemary couldn’t help but suppress a smile, pretending to stay silent.

If only his sis would agree to hit him, that’d be fine. But what if she stayed quiet like this? He was tempted to wire another five million dollars to David and beg for advice on how to soothe his sister’s anger.

"I wasn’t there to investigate the clinic fire," Rosemary finally threw him a lifeline.

Sean grabbed the chance, "Then what were you doing there?"

What else could it be if she was spotted in a place as chaotic as the Demon Ring?

"I went to get a medicinal herb, I just happened to see you with someone."

Hearing this, Sean cut her off, "Sis, let me explain; it’s not what you think!"

Steward was beyond mortified, thinking Sean’s reputation was beyond saving - even a miracle worker couldn’t fix this mess.

"There’s no need to explain your personal life to me, Sean."

"No, that woman was trying to drug me; she’s a hitman; she wanted to kill me." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"That’s exciting, huh?"

Sean was baffled. Exciting? His sister truly was one of a kind.

"Ms. Collins, Sean’s got a lot of enemies out there. He might come off as a bit of a jerk, but that’s just his armor."

Sean thought, "Who are you calling a jerk? Don’t think I can’t hit you with my sister’s presence."

Steward racked his brain to rehabilitate Sean’s image, "Ms. Collins, you didn’t see him when we thought you were kidnapped. He ripped out his IV and raced to the abandoned building. When they tricked Sean into believing you were dead, the grief on his face was enough to make even a tough guy like me want to cry. He really cares about you!"

"Shut up," Sean cringed at the cheesiness. Would his sister think it was as cringe-worthy as he did?

Hearing that Martha’s people had lied to Sean about her death, Rosemary looked at him and saw a vulnerability that was so unlike his usual confident demeanor.

"Alright." Rosemary said, lightening up, "Let’s call it water under the bridge."

Both Sean and Steward exchanged glances, barely containing their urge to jump up and celebrate.

Had his sis forgiven him? Was she really not holding a grudge?

"Is that for me?" Rosemary reached out with her spoon.

Sean happily placed the chicken on her spoon, "For you. What else would you like? I’ll get it for you."

"It’s okay. I already have plenty and can’t finish it. Why don’t you eat while it’s still warm." Rosemary responded, then turned her attention to Steward, "Help yourself to more."

"Thanks, Ms. Collins, I surely will," Steward replied, not expecting to be dining at the table with them.

After the journey with Sean, he was famished.

As Sean took a bite of mashed potatoes, Louisa teased, "So, how does it taste, eating a meal served by Dr. Bell, Maestro Melody, Mirabelle, and EvaRose?"

Upon hearing it, Sean froze. Steward, mid-bite with cheeks puffed, stared wide-eyed. Ms. Collins was what?

Beyond being Dr. Bell, she had all these other titles? That was seriously impressive.

Sitting there feeling like a fish out of water, Steward wondered if he even deserved to be at this table.

Was it too late to retreat to a corner with his plate?

Sean looked incredulously at his sister as everyone else laughed.

"That’s what you get for not coming home. Your sister’s accomplishments are overwhelming, aren’t they?"

"Let me tell you, her credentials go way beyond these. You’ll find out in time."

"Don’t tell him everything yet. Let him figure out the rest on his own."

"Exactly."
