She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 182

Scarlett’s POV

Shivering in Sebastian’s suit, Ava stumbles back into Jack Fuller’s arms, along her side is Damian Vanderbilt. All three ignored me as they hinted at Sebastian to follow them. Coldness, sure, but none of them indicated any following up punishment for my “crime”.

This is the mildest “consequences” I have gotten from hurting Ava in years. I’m not used to it.

I follow them nervously, uncertain of where this is going. Finally when we reached the fancy gate of the house, Jack Fuller stopped in front of me, blocking my way. Ava shoots over a timid glance before she crawls into Damian Vanderbilt’s arms, waiting.

My sentence is here.

“Sebastian?” Ava murmurs, landing her hopeful eyes on him, “We are having dinner. Do you want to join us?”

Before Sebastian could answer, Jack Fuller frowns at her: “Get inside, Ava.”

Ava flinches at her father’s cold tone, then leaving with Damian Vanderbilt with a reluctant look. I glance in Sebastian’s direction and he looks back. I dart my eyes away before I can see his eyes. I’m not too sure, but I seems to have heard a slight sigh from him.

I’d understand it if he is mad at me.

He thinks Ava is the girl important to him, and I just threw her into a freezing lake in front of him. I need to tell him about Ava’s lie. I need to tell him everything.

“Ava’s birthday party is in two days,” Jack Fuller says after Ava leaves, his tone heavy and low, “I hope you can come, at least this one time.”

Right after I threw Ava into a lake, Jack Fox Fuller extends me the invitation to her birthday party?? Why?

I glance at Sebastian, realizing his invitation is for my husband. He is still the same old fox, spoiling his daughter with everything he has, even if it’s someone else’s husband that Ava wants: “I’ll try. But even if I can’t make it, Sebastian will.”

Sebastian frowns, not saying anything.

But Jack Fuller does: “It’s you who I want to be there, Scarlett.”

“So, what happened to my mom?” I blurt, asking Jack Fuller.

“Her car flipped by the cliff and she was badly hurt, stuck by the safety belt,” Jack Fuller sighs, “I saw the whole thing, and I only had time to take you out of there before the car fell over the cliff. That’s what happened.”

Just like this? He is telling me about my mother’s death, here? After such a night? Just like this?

“Why didn’t you tell me about any of these?” I demand, not sure how to react to this. He kept Mom’s necklace away from me all these years!

Not just that! He gave it to Ava!

“Because when I took you to the hospital and found out your blood type, in my most selfish moment, I decided to take you home for Ava,” He sighs, closing his eyes with a painful look, “I wanted to love you as my own, but every time I saw you, I just saw the darkest side of myself and I don’t know how to face you...”

Under the dark night, my past is dumped on me like a bomb.
