Chapter 25 025 The Iron Lady Scarlett's POV "I was mad at you for loving him when he was a total jerk to you, but that's not the main reason why! couldn't talk to you in all these years." Lilith starts with a nervous look.
I did not see that coming. I really thought that was the reason.
"....I know a secret, sort of, of Sebastian's, I didn't want to tell you because it would only hurt you, but i don't know how to face you when I know I'm keeping such a secret from you, so..." Her blurt is baffling but I sort out a lead, somewhat- "Okay, so what's this big secret?" Taking a deep breath, Lilith looks like she is preparing herself for her death sentence before she say slowly:- "May 21st, five years ago, do you...remember?" How could I not? That was the day Sebastian ctoand said "he agrees to my deal for his hand. I thought it was his version of "I do". Sourly mistaken.
How happy I was that day! I close my eyes, feeling so stupid when that memory pops up in my mind. I knew he didn't love me, I knew he only agreed to that because of Ava, but mannnnn, I was elated. I thought for once I had a chance at what I wanted for a change.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe left such a deep brand of humiliation on all my memory of him.
"Sorry, I'm fine. What about it?" I take a gulp of my lemonade, hiding the tears welling up in my eyes. I have promised myself to not cry for him again. I have to carve him out of my life. I already did.
I just need to start healing.
Lilith and Aurora exchange a worried look.
Maybe you don't need to know," Lilith starts, "It's doesn't matter now, not really. Just-" "I want to know," I cut her off, "I don't care about him or his secret. I just want to know why I lost you-" I failed. My voice lost shape when the word "lost" left me, and I burst into tears.
I never dare to even touch that day, and it all comes out at my first poke. It's like I was back to the worst day of my life, the one I lied to myself saying that I was happy.
My wedding day.
The day when none of my "family" showed up- they took Ava for a trip to Egypt to cheer her up; the day my best friend walked out onwith disappointment in her eyes; the day when the few quests that call looked atwith judgy eyes; the day, when Sebastian lefton our way back hto the airport, chasing Ava all the way to Egypt.
Lilith pullsinto her arms, huggingtight as I cry out loud, the first tin so long. Aurora joins us and that just makescry even more, feeling like a baby that's entitled to.
025 The Iron Lady "I know I did wrong, I know!" I pent, try to talk between the gaps of my sobbing, "1-1 broke them up and-and the whole world turned their back on me! I deserved that! I just thought-I just thought he would see..see the truth that...!" "I know! My poor baby Scar, I know!" Lilith cries with me. "But that's exactly the thing! You didn't break them up! That's the secret!" Her words are too shocking that I even forgot to cry: "what?" "You know how Damon was the constable of the Villa area at that time, right?" Lilith asks.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVaguely. I just know Lilith's brother is a policeman, not even sure the specific type.
"On that day, he was called to the called Knight's house. The neighbors it in, or something like that. The point is the Iron Lady made a huge fuss that day, and Ava was the fuss!" "what?" I blink, not catching up at all.
The Iron Lady is Sebastian's grandma. She basically raised om Sebastian after his parents died in a car accident, while protecting the family business against the sharks. Hence her nickname.
"Let me," Aurora patson my back, her tone patient and calm, unlike the anxious Lilith, "that day Sebastian e took Ava back to meet with his grandma, because....he wanted to marry her, and he needed his grandma's blessing." Sebastian can hurt anyone for Ava, but not Granny. He loves her and respects her to the most.
"That's what you couldn't tell me?" I frown in confusion. So he proposed to Ava. Not like I didn't know that he loves her.
