She had never interacted with Marcus' parents before, so for a moment, Sabrina did not know what to say.
At this moment, Marcus took a step forward and said t o Sabrina, "Sabrina, don't be afraid. My parents truly want to acknowledge you as their niece."
"Mm-hmm!" Marcus’ father nodded three times consecutively, like a child. "I want to acknowledge you! I must do it! Child, it was our fault in the past. Marcus had mentioned it to us more than once saying that you resembled his aunt. However, we just didn’t believe him, we..."
Halfway through his words, Marcus' father took a pause, and he sighed in a sorrowful manner for quite a while.
