Chapter 49 049 Happiest Man On Earth Scarlett's POV I can't answer Granny. I just stand there, watch Sebastian and Ava talk, laugh...hug. Granny, too. Quietly with no surprise. If Granny can accept Ava coming to her birthday, and showing her intimacy with Sebastian in public like this, then why would she even askthat question? Ava IS the problem.

it L "Is it because of Ava?" Granny suddenly asks, turning to face me..

I pull my eyes back from the long, quiet, soulful hug Sebastian is sharing with her. He said he had the divorce papers ready. I guess I no longer have the right to judge. But it doesn't mean the image is not stinging.

I SHOULD be mad, when he pulls her into his arms like she is his most treasured precious, at a party he askedto attend to "play the loving couple" one last time.

But I'm not even mad. I just feel sad. A deep blue, overwhelming cloud of sadness. flooded my world. At this moment, I do feel like the evil villain in a love story that separated a poor, loving couple, and yet their love is so strong and unstoppable that when they finally make it, they don't even laugh, or kiss, or do any other tic expressions.

They just hug, tightly, as if their worlds are complete by each other.

Who could break such love? I surely can't.

"No, Ava was never the problem," I mumble to Granny, or maybe to myself, “It's me. I don't want to go on anymore." Granny sighs, "Scar, I-" "I know," I smile bitterly, "you toldso." When I cto visit Granny for the first tas Sebastian's fiancee, Granny warnedto not go through with it.

[You don't want to do this. It's better for you to drop it, now. I won't bless his marriage with a Fuller, and you will regret it.] I just assumed Granny had sfeud with "the Fullers". Now I know. Granny just threw Ava out of her house, only to have the other Fuller girl engaged to her +25 BONUS St Man On E grandson right after.

I knew he loved Ava to his bones. But that love is based on lies. I tried to expose her lies, and I only got him to labelwith Jealousy. I thought even if he wouldn't see her as who she is, he has room in his heart for another, even if not equal. There isn't.

He has room for Ava, for Granny, for Gabriel and for a lot more. Just not me.

Because I forced his hand five years ago? Because I have been "Ava's bully" in Ava's stories? Or because, I was never a real Fuller, and there never was a chance forto be accepted as one of them? I don't know. I just know I failed, epically.

"That's not what I was going to say..." Granny sighs, looking atwith sorrowful eyes, "I didn't know you five y ago. I blhow Ava turned out on the parents, | and that's why I didn't want Sebastian to marry into the Fullers. I was wrong, too. You turned out well, coming from the sparents." "Well," I try to put on a joking tone, "I AM adopted." Granny is not smiling. She just looks atwith pitiful eyes. I don't want pity.

I fought for what I wanted, and I lost. Simple as that.

"Five years ago, I thought you would regret it because I knew Sebastian loved someone else. A marriage not based on love never turns out well," Granny says, I budged not because Sebastian insisted on marrying you, but because I saw real love, in your eyes.

"They aren't there anymore." I look up at Granny in shock, my eyes wide open.

"but "Hmph," Granny hums with a displeased face, “you think I'm too old to understand the love gof you young people?"

I chuckle, feeling the heavy stress on my shoulders becoming lighter.

Granny can be a real childsometimes, more so after she retired and left the whole company in Sebastian's hands.

"Eyes don't lie, and yours were always, always on Sebastian, with al shining sparkle as if you are gazing at your most precious treasure," Granny shakes her head slowly with a teasing smile, "at that tI thought, anyone loved by those eyes would be the happiest person in the world." 2/3 +25 BONUS 149 Happest Mari I doubt if Sebastian would agree.

Granny's words only put a sour taste in my mouth. Love is not everything. I learned it the hard way. I guess my love is not as strong as Sebastian's to Ava.

"You think I can't tell that you are m trying to put on a loving image in front of me, don't you? Granny lets out a childish snort, "Doing that for five years, and you could only put on such a lousy show tonight." I lower my head in embarrassment, only to hear Granny add- "Because even though he was a lousy actor, your love was real. But not today." X
