Chapter 235 The Grand Gesture
Seeing Sebastian on his knees, the employees were too shocked to get close, everyone thinking they were hallucinating.
“Is that our CEO?! He’s actually kneeling to a woman! Who is she?!”
“That’s the infamous Amelia Bennett! Our boss’s fiancee!”
“Oh my god! Mr. Sterling is on his knees with flowers! Ahhh, I’m gonna faint!”
More and more people gathered around, whipping out their phones to record. Since it was Sebastian’s first time ever kneeling to apologize, he was inexperienced, and a hint of embarrassment showed on his handsome, cold face.
Seeing the arrogant man actually blushing, Amelia’s anger faded significantly, She crossed her arms proudly. “And what exactly is the great CEO Sterling sorry for?”
Sebastian looked conflicted. I only googled “how to beg your fiancée for forgiveness,” but I didn’t google the follow–up questions!
Google said that as long as a man drops to his knees to apologize, even the most cold–hearted woman will instantly forgive him!
Why isn’t the plot following the Google search results?!
“Can’t say it? That proves you don’t even know what you did wrong. Apology rejected.”
With that. Amelia turned to leave. Sebastian quickly called out to stop her. “Amelia, wait!”
Sebastian gritted his teeth. F*ck my pride!
“I shouldn’t have indulged Evelyn and let her disrespect you over and over again. I promise it won’t happen again.”
“Well, at least you hit the nail on the head.” Amelia turned back around, perfectly satisfied, and took the lisianthus from his hands. “If you don’t take care of that little two–faced b*tch, I’ll deal with her myself.”
And when I do, simply sending her abroad or kicking her out won’t be enough!
Seeing her smile, Sebastian immediately stood up, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and nuzzled her forehead affectionately. “Not mad anymore?”
“No…”

BOOM‘
Amelia’s words were drowned out by a deafening explosion. She turned her head and saw massive fireworks bursting in the sky, lighting up half the night like it was day.
“So beautiful!”
The fireworks reflected in Aurelia’s bright eyes, her absolute joy impossible to hide. “How did you know I wanted to see fireworks?”
When she lived in the country with Victor, they set off fireworks every New Year. The village was always so lively. But after moving to Kingsley, even seeing fireworks became a luxury.
A flash of heartache crossed Sebastian’s eyes, and he held her even tighter.
“Ever since you moved to Kingsley, I’ve put on a massive fireworks show every single year. Did you really never see them?”
Amelia blinked in confusion, then lowered her eyes and sighed. “For the past five years, every New Year’s Eve, they locked me in the attic. They were terrified I’d show my face and embarrass them. I couldn’t see anything.”
Hearing that, a murderous intent flashed in Sebastian’s eyes.
The Bennetts have a f*cking death wish, treating my woman like that!
“But…” Amelia’s tone shifted, her face full of curiosity. “Why did you set off fireworks for me for five years? Before, you clearly…
Even though they were engaged from birth, Sebastian never took the initiative to approach her. If she hadn’t seen him avenging her after she died in her past life…
She wouldn’t even know how deeply he loved her.
Sebastian lowered his head, capturing her soft lips instantly. At that exact moment, a firework burst in the sky, forming a perfect heart shape.
It was just a light peck, but it made Amelia’s heart race, a deep, unnatural flush spreading across her cheeks.
Sebastian cupped her face, his voice raspy. “Amelia, never doubt my love for you. Growing up, I never knew how to love someone. I was terrified of hurting you. Let me learn how to love you, okay?
“I might make mistakes, but I’ll change. I’ll learn. I’ll make you get used to having me in your life.”

The man’s voice trembled slightly, like a frightened deer. Even terrified of rejection, he had to speak his heart.
