Joanna's face went pale, and she forced a pained smile. "Sebastian, I didn't stick it in on purpose. I called out to you, didn't you hear me? How could you say that?"
Sebastian looked at her feigned distress with cold, merciless eyes. His tone was flat. "I didn't hear you call me. Do you need something?"
"Sebastian, I called you today, but you didn't answer. I missed you. I wanted to have dinner with you."
Joanna smiled softly, her gaze gentle as she looked at him. His profile was sharp and elegant, but at this moment, it seemed hard and unforgiving.
His presence was more commanding than any other man's.
But having witnessed his cruelty, she still felt a sense of fear around him.
Sebastian chuckled. "Joanna, I didn't see through your tricks before, but now that I do, aren't you embarrassed?"
"I..."
"Because I am," Sebastian said with a faint smile.
Joanna's own smile froze on her face. So, he knew she'd done it on purpose.
"Sebastian, you don't believe me? I wasn't playing games, and I never wanted to deceive you. I just want you to keep your promise. You said you would marry me."
Sebastian's smile was dark and unreadable. "Joanna, I've already answered that question once. I won't answer it a second time. Get out. I'm not in a good mood today."
Joanna was stunned. "Sebastian, are you really dumping me?"
Sebastian leaned back elegantly, staring out at the snow. "Joanna, a man's promise isn't always binding. Just like the promise you made to me. You said you would never leave me, but as soon as I had the car accident and went blind, you abandoned me. So now, we're even."
"I... Sebastian, I didn't abandon you!" Joanna said, growing frantic. The current Sebastian was unpredictable, a confusing mix of good and evil she couldn't comprehend.
