Goodbye Saintess (by Edelweiss W.S.) novel Chapter 220

**The Unseen Kingdom That Followed Me Into Every Dream by Alyndra Meron Valeen**

After all, today marked Sabrina’s birthday, a day that held significance beyond mere celebration. Whether or not she chose to take offense at my words was ultimately her decision, but I felt it was imperative to establish my stance clearly.

With a warm smile illuminating her face, she spoke softly, “You’re a good kid, Sebastian. Just like Claire. I can see that in you. And I owe you an apology, really. I didn’t raise my son the way I should have, and because of that, Claire and her mother suffered the consequences. I had no idea that Claire was already involved with someone. If I had known, I would never have introduced Victor to her.”

Sabrina then called for Claire, who approached with a curious expression. Clasping Claire’s hand gently, she continued, “That boy… his heart isn’t in the right place, but his schemes run deep. He even managed to deceive me all morning long. If you hadn’t been here today, I would have fallen for his tricks as well. I feel like I’m getting old, far too old.”

Her words trailed off into a sigh, and in that moment, I felt a surge of respect for her.

Having spent a decade as a firefighter, I had encountered countless elders who demanded respect simply based on their years. Yet, Sabrina was a rarity; a woman of her age possessed a remarkable clarity, fairness, and generosity of spirit that was truly inspiring. To carry such grace and wisdom at this stage of life was indeed a treasure.

I couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mrs. McKay, you are anything but old. If I had a grandmother like you, I’d be grinning in my sleep every single night.”

I meant every word of my compliment, and it seemed to resonate with her.

Sabrina’s eyes sparkled with delight, her expression brightening even further. “Well, that’s quite simple, isn’t it? If you marry Claire, then I’ll be your grandmother too.”

“What?”

I found myself momentarily frozen, utterly taken aback by her directness. Marriage? On our very first meeting?

Even Claire’s cheeks turned a deep crimson as she stammered, “W-What are you saying, Grandma? We’re not discussing marriage just yet.”

“Claire,” Sabrina said gently, giving her hand a reassuring pat, “I’ve crossed paths with many people in my lifetime. I can see that Sebastian is a good man. You mustn’t let someone like him slip through your fingers. Men like him are a rare find.”
