She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 241

Scar pouts the hardest she can, trying to not cry in front of him. But despite her effort, wronged tears spouting out of her eyes.

She wants to, but she couldn’t utter any of these out. In front of her is a man she has met less than ten minutes. While she knows he is her big brother, he is a big unknown to her. Not to mention all the times that she has met him were horrible or worse.

“I’m sorry, little one. I know, I came too late. I’m really, really sorry…” Not urging anything out of her, Damian just pulls her into his arms, locking her tighter as she struggles until she finally gives in and bursts into tears.

At that moment she just wants nothing but to cry out. To gush out all the darkness that has been corrupting her from inside, all the unuttered miss and love held in her heart for Emma, and all the wronged feelings she ever buried in her chest.

She cries so hard that she squeezes out all the air in her lungs, and as she gasps for air her eyes already go dark. Symptoms of her episodes, but Scar is not afraid this time, because unlike her episodes, crying seems to have cleansed darkness instead of gathered more of that poison inside her. She hasn’t cried so freely for so long. In fact, she couldn’t remember if she ever had.

She has never been around real family for her to feel safe enough for such an outlet.

For several minutes, Damian just stood there with Scar tight in his arms, until finally she exhausted all her energy and fell down. He pulls her back by her waist before putting her on the chair, with such care that for the first time, the word “princess” materialized.

“You are okay now, little one,” Damian rubs her hair. Unlike Silco who is always careful with that move like treating a delicate treasure, Damian messes up her hair, almost innocently by accident no less!

Scar pats his hand away with a pout, sighing at how such a rough guy is going to be Alice’s father. He needs to learn how to treat a little princess properly from Silco!

“Stop calling me that!” Scar grumbles, secretly enjoying that nickname but as much as feeling embarrassed by it. She is a grownup woman and he is a guy who is barely closer to her than a total stranger!

Scar sneaks a peek at Damian. Bashful, she curls up her legs and hides most of her face behind her knees, leaving only her eyes out for more peeks.

“You are just like when you were a baby,” Damian laughs, his throat going up and down as his wide chest heaves. He is genuinely happy, just because she’s talking to him. Scar stares at him, even more confused.

She’s not doubting him, but she doesn’t understand him, either.

It only occurs to her now that she just had an episode in front of this man before bursting into tears, and blushing at his comfort. All just because he is her “brother”. Is blood really this amazing? Amazing enough to bond two people who barely exchanged a dozen lines in their lives?
