Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 191

"I know guys like him. He won't change easily."

Mindful of the quiet atmosphere in The Tea Leaf, Sebastian kept his words tactful, afraid that being too blunt would put Elara in a difficult spot.

Elara instantly knew he had misunderstood, but she didn't explain.

After all, this was a private matter between her and Julian. There was no need to drag others into it, especially since he was related to Julian and the Beckett family. She didn't want to make things awkward for him.

"Yeah." Elara smiled and nodded. "I made up my mind a long time ago."

Just then, her phone buzzed twice with incoming texts.

Pulling it out, she saw it was a reply from Julian to her message telling him to drink less. It was a simple "Yeah," sent over ten minutes later.

Elara didn't try to hide her screen. From Sebastian's angle, he could clearly see everything on it.

He saw the entire exchange: her inviting Julian to lunch, his rejection, her telling him to drink less, and the timestamps.

Perhaps Julian's one-word reply was just too dismissive. Elara didn't know how to respond. She stared at the screen for a long time before giving up. Awkwardly putting her phone away, she reached for her drink.

Sebastian watched in silence, refraining from asking any embarrassing questions like if it was worth it.

However, the paper cup in his grip slowly deformed under his tightening grasp.

For the rest of the time, they fell into a tacit silence.

They sat there quietly until the restaurant notified them that their table was almost ready. Elara stood up. "Let's go. It's almost our turn."

Sebastian stood and followed her out of The Tea Leaf and into The Crimson Spice, where he stoically endured the spiciest meal of his life.

Meanwhile, Julian and Vivian were eating lunch.
