Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 565

**The Billionaire’s Last Obsession series 565**
**Chapter 565: Henry’s Decision**

Henry stood there, his face a mask of icy determination. Not a flicker of emotion crossed his features as he spoke, his voice chillingly devoid of warmth. “Do you truly believe we can return to the way things were? Catherine spent her childhood in this very villa. Countless days and sleepless nights—did you never feel even a whisper of dread? As I lay awake last night, the weight of it all pressed down on me, and gradually, everything became painfully clear. I fell for you, but not for the reasons you might think. Catherine was so perfect, so utterly flawless, that I found myself feeling small in her shadow. I sought my confidence through you. You always portrayed yourself as the delicate, vulnerable woman in need of my protection. That image fed my ego, and it’s the only reason I couldn’t bring myself to let you go. Perhaps Lillian was right after all. I am unworthy of being her father. I don’t deserve to have been Catherine’s husband. In truth, I am nothing more than a coward.”

Vivian’s heart sank as she struggled to swallow the lump in her throat. “No, Henry, that’s not how it is. Please don’t say that. I swear to you, from this moment forward, I will be a good wife, a good mother. I will love Lillian as if she is my own flesh and blood. Just… please, forgive me, okay?” Her voice trembled, each word a desperate plea for understanding.

Henry’s lips curled into a sneer as he regarded her. “Lillian!” he scoffed, the disdain evident in his tone. “Do you honestly believe she could ever return to the Sinclair family? Do you think she could ever forgive me, the one most responsible for her suffering? Because of my actions, she lost her mother. Because of my failures, she fell victim to her stepmother’s schemes and was sold off as a mere child. Do you truly believe she would ever want to come back to the place that nearly shattered her?”

Just then, Chloe burst into the room, her voice laced with urgency. “Dad, I’ll go and apologize to Lillian! I’ll beg her to forgive us, alright? If she’s willing to come back, then you won’t have to divorce Mom, right? We can still be a family, can’t we?” The hope in her eyes was palpable, a fragile thread holding together the remnants of their family.

How she longed to rewind time, to that fateful day when she had pushed Lillian into the water. If only that moment could be erased, would everything be different now?

Henry took a long drag from his cigarette, the smoke curling around him like a shroud. He let the ash fall dangerously close to his fingertips, yet he didn’t flinch. “It’s impossible. Everything is far too late. We cannot turn back the clock. Leave this place. Let it return to its former tranquility. Perhaps then we might find a semblance of peace.” He turned his gaze to the butler, his voice firm. “Assist Madam in packing her belongings.”

Panic washed over Vivian, twisting her face into a mask of desperation. “No! Please don’t! Don’t cast me out! I can’t leave the Sinclair family!”
