Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 225

He didn't ask for anything childish. Instead, he mulled it over carefully before speaking with absolute solemnity: "Grandpa, what are your thoughts on Elara?"

Maddox was taken aback.

When Sebastian had briefed him on the situation yesterday, he had heavily implied that Elara was caught in a tragic predicament.

Maddox had assumed Sebastian saw shades of his own mother's suffering in her, which was why he had pulled Elara aside for a private chat yesterday to gauge her mental state.

After that conversation, Maddox had made an on-the-spot decision to throw the struggling young woman a lifeline.

But weren't they supposed to be negotiating Sebastian's compensation right now?

Why would he suddenly bring up Elara when handed a blank check?

Maddox didn't overthink it, assuming his grandson was simply feeling sympathetic toward the woman who had once cared for him and shared a similarly tragic fate as his late mother.

"I spoke with her yesterday."

Maddox answered truthfully. "If she needs it, I'll step in and help her."

Sebastian let out a dry chuckle at that. "So, if she doesn't explicitly ask, you're just going to leave her to the wolves, is that it?"

Maddox answered with silence.

Unfazed, Sebastian pressed on. "I need you to take the initiative and help her, Grandpa."

"How exactly do you want me to help her?"

Maddox considered a few possibilities. "Help her secure a divorce and pull her out of this mess?"

"Or do you want me to tell her the truth?"

He hesitated heavily on the second option.
