Trick Him Into Divorce, Then Flee With His Unknow Kid novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513: Chapter 513 Married by Tomorrow

Even Rose was stunned, let alone Diana.

Diana knew exactly how demanding her condition had been. She and Sebastian weren’t even in a relationship, much less deeply in love. He understood that perfectly well, yet he had agreed without hesitation—and hadn’t even asked about her family background.

“You...” She faltered, searching for the right words. “Why don’t you think it over carefully? You shouldn’t make such a big decision on impulse.”

“I’m an adult, not a child.” Sebastian sounded utterly unconcerned, but there was unmistakable certainty beneath his casual tone. “I’ll have the agreement ready tonight. You’ll get a satisfactory answer, and then you can start arranging our wedding.”

In other words, he had no intention of reconsidering.

“...”

Diana fell silent.

Suddenly, she wondered whether she’d been a little too hasty herself.

She had deliberately made her conditions difficult, hoping he might reconsider. Instead, Sebastian had accepted them as though she’d merely asked him to pick up something from the grocery store.

When she didn’t respond, he stepped closer.

“Aurora, when are we getting married?”

He bent slightly to meet her eyes, watching her with an intent gaze and the faintest hint of a smile.

Diana snapped out of her daze and found herself staring straight into his amused eyes.

A strange tingling sensation crept up the back of her neck.

“...Next month?”

Sebastian continued looking at her.

“That’s too far away.”

Diana hesitated.

“Then... next week?”

“I’m busy next week.”

“...Tomorrow?”

“Then tomorrow it is.”

“...”

Wait. What?

Diana felt as though she’d somehow been talked into something without realizing it, but she couldn’t quite figure out how he’d managed it.

Sebastian had already straightened and taken Damian’s hand.

“From now on, call her Aunt Aurora.”

Diana: “...”

Rose: “...”

Damian: “...”

The three of them exchanged bewildered looks.

Was this really happening?

Rose’s eyes widened.

Could two people really move from discussing marriage to practically arranging a wedding in the space of a few minutes?

They were talking about it as casually as if they were deciding what to have for dinner.

Meanwhile, Diana was only just beginning to process what she’d agreed to.

She couldn’t explain why, but she had the unsettling feeling that she’d wandered into a trap—like a plump little lamb that had cheerfully walked into a butcher’s shop.

Yet when she looked at Sebastian more closely, his expression was perfectly composed. He seemed entirely satisfied with how things had turned out.

He raised an eyebrow at her.

“I’ll pick you up tomorrow, then. But I’m concerned that the man from earlier might try to bother you again. If you don’t mind, you can stay at my place tonight. Tomorrow, we’ll take care of the marriage paperwork.”

Diana looked at him suspiciously. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Unfortunately, his reasoning made sense.

“That’s all right. I’ll stay with my friend,” she declined.

Otherwise, she feared she’d feel terribly uncomfortable. Everything was moving so quickly that she hadn’t even had time to catch her breath.

“Fine,” Sebastian replied easily.

Rose studied him again.

There was no doubt that this man was far from ordinary. Beside his composed confidence, Diana almost seemed like a schoolgirl experiencing her first crush.

And Rose couldn’t shake the suspicion that Sebastian had a plan of his own.

After saying goodbye to Sebastian and Damian, Diana wasted no time. She grabbed Rose’s hand and hurried toward the car.

She was still wary of Liam.

Judging by his reaction at the hospital, he clearly hadn’t accepted her decision. She had no intention of letting him chase her down and turn the peace she’d fought so hard to regain into another emotional battlefield.

That was precisely why she’d staged her death in the first place.

Liam’s obsession ran too deep. She had needed to take drastic measures to make him leave her alone.

“Are you really sure about this?” Rose asked once they were in the car.

Diana scratched her head.

“I don’t have any particularly strong feelings about it. Maybe that’s actually why I’m more comfortable with the idea. I wasn’t looking for love to begin with, and everything that’s happened has only made me more certain of what I want.”

She paused before continuing.

“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone, but I’m not expecting some grand romance, either. So why not choose someone who’s reliable, compatible with me, and shares my values? At the very least, we’d have a stable life together.”

It wasn’t as though she’d made the decision after knowing Sebastian for only a day.

They’d known each other for nearly two months, and during that time, she’d learned quite a bit about his circumstances and background.

The way he cared for Damian, his late sister’s son, spoke volumes about his sense of responsibility. He was devoted to the boy and took his role as guardian seriously. Whatever his quirks, Diana believed he was fundamentally a good man.

Rose could tell that Diana had thought this through.

“As long as he’s willing to sign that prenup, and the agreement gives you the protection you want, you’ll have a measure of security you can rely on,” Rose said. “If he’s genuinely willing to commit to those terms, then I don’t see what you have to complain about.”

Nothing in life was perfect.

Diana lowered her eyes, deliberately pushing the image of Liam’s devastated face out of her mind.

“Things can hardly get worse than they already have.”
