She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 238

Scar will never forget the look on Sebastian’s face when she announced that number.

He knows, everything.

He knows that she figured out how much liquidity he has, he knows that it’s a trap targeting his everything, and he knows...that she chose to kill him in this way, when she uttered that number.

There is a calmness of hit by a dead real desperation, with a hint of bitterness in his look.

The whole room is in silence, but unlike the asleep silence before, a frantic whispering is spreading in the room, all eyes on Sebastian. Only now they realize the dragging on was barely even a game, for the powers over their head.

Whatever Sebastian chooses to do, the residue won’t land on them. They might come for the items, but the show is much more valuable, even to their levels.

What would he do? They want to know, and so does Scar.

Would he give up his love? The most valuable memory of his whole teenage years? The purest feelings a boy held for a girl with no dirt from the later life? Or would he hold on to that illusion, give out all he ever created for himself, and hate her for the rest of his life?

The ring might worth that much for him before, but Scar is not sure now. Who is he ever bidding the ring for? Scar, who forced his hand and ruined his illusion for that girl? Or Ava, who lied to him his whole life and enjoyed his wealth as if granted?

Maybe that’s why he has been fighting both Scar and Ava for the ring -- because he wants neither of them to have it.

Scar looks away, not sure how they ended up here when all the three of them ever wanted, was love. She wanted the boy who brought her light, Ava wanted to steal the love she envied, and Sebastian, all he ever wanted was to bring good to the girl he loved. But they all chose to hurt people for that love, and they are all hurt.

Sure, Scar doesn’t want to apologize because Ava deserves it, but didn’t Sebastian think the same thing when he chose Ava’s side against her?

It’s just a big, messy tragedy that no one was completely innocent, and no one came out in one piece.

Sebastian reaches over to his phone, but instead of making a call, he just sits there and rubs the edge of his phone. Who could he call at such a moment? Who would make him hesitate to call, at such a moment?

He tried to love Ava, and he gave up his marriage for that. e jHe tried to love Scar, and he gave Scar his everything. In the end, he just tried to hold on to the one thing that makes all the love in him true -- the love he embedded in that ring for the girl he saved. But Scar didn’t even allow that. She outed Ava and she cornered Sebastian, forcing him to tear apart his soul for it.

He did.

At that moment, all the hatred and anger burning in Scar’s chest for him extinguishes, too. She loved him for ten long years, and she gave up her everything for him. Now that debt is paid.

She doesn’t hate him anymore. Not because he is losing his company over this, but because he is committing to the girl he saved, even if he got who she was wrong the first time.

Just, she couldn’t go back for him either. There will always be a death between them, the death of their unborn baby, and she could never overlook that.

Goodbye, Sebastian. Scar says in her mind. Goodbye, my teenage years.

“Sold!”
