The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In novel Chapter 878

Chapter 878: Sebastian’s Unluckiest Day Ever

Back then, when Sebastian and Drax had hauled Derrick away, everything had gone surprisingly smoothly—so much so that even Derrick himself was taken aback. Had it been left solely to his own stubborn will, he would never have budged; no one could have forced him to leave.

“I swear, I could kill you,” Marie snapped sharply, her voice crackling with frustration.

Derrick let out a tired, almost resigned laugh. “Fine, fine—after the baby’s born, you can murder me all you want.”

At that moment, no matter what Marie said, Derrick did his best to soothe her, trying to keep the peace.

Yet, there was something off about the way he muttered, “do whatever you want.” It didn’t sound genuine—it sounded defeated.

Marie’s anger flared again. Without hesitation, she grabbed his waist and pinched hard, twisting with a sharp, almost vicious motion.

“Ugh…” Derrick hissed, his face tightening in pain.

Just then, Derrick’s phone buzzed. He caught Marie’s slender wrist before she could react.

“Be good,” he said quietly, his tone firm but gentle. “I have to take this call.”

He pried her hand away carefully. “We’ll settle this behind closed doors when we get home. There are people around now.”

He tried to calm her down, coaxing her with soft words.

Meanwhile, the driver up front had already tuned them out completely. No sane person would bother listening to the couple’s bickering. The divider between the front and back seats had been raised long ago.

Marie was practically simmering with fury.

The call was from Sebastian. Derrick answered curtly, his patience worn thin. “What do you want?”

That brat—just look at the mess he’d caused. Now Derrick couldn’t even explain himself to Marie.

Marie was itching to tear into Derrick, and Derrick wanted nothing more than to tear into Sebastian.

But Sebastian didn’t even seem to notice the sharp edge in Derrick’s voice. “Bro, you’ve got to come back and get me,” he said urgently.

“Huh?” Derrick frowned, confused.

“My car can’t get in. The private airport has no cars going out either. Come back, quick!”

The same Sebastian who had refused to get in the car earlier was suddenly desperate.

Like hell he was going to walk twenty miles on foot.

“Why can’t your car get in?” Derrick asked, eyebrows knitting together.

“I don’t know—did Marie do this on purpose? Ask her if she’s messing with me!” Sebastian blurted out, his voice rising in frustration.

Hearing that, Derrick just thought, *God, could he be any dumber?*

Was that really something you could just say out loud?

“If your sister-in-law is doing this to you on purpose, then take it. You deserve it,” Derrick said flatly.

On the other end, Sebastian was left speechless.

Seriously?

He’d only gotten tangled up with Marie because of Derrick—and now Derrick was talking like this?
