Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 298

W-What?

Julian was certain his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Or maybe he was just trapped in a bizarre nightmare.

He stared blankly at the screen, unable to process the words for what felt like an eternity.

Knock, knock.

A soft rap on the door broke his trance.

Vivian pushed the door open gently. Assuming he was still at his desk, she peeked in cautiously. Seeing him standing right by the doorway startled her, but she quickly recovered and stepped inside.

"Are you done with work?"

She looped her arm through his, rising on her tiptoes to press a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth. "I drew a bath for you. Go wash up and soak for a bit."

Julian snapped back to reality, looking at her with a dazed expression. "Okay," he mumbled absently.

He still had a death grip on his phone. As he moved, Vivian caught a glimpse of the chat screen, but couldn't make out the contact name.

What she did know for sure was that whoever he was texting was the reason he was so spaced out.

He had the exact same hollow, emotionally turbulent look in his eyes as he did back at the mall.

"Do you want something to drink?"

They walked out together. As Julian headed toward the bedroom to prep for his bath, Vivian paused at the door. "I can run downstairs and make something."

Julian's mind was entirely hijacked by Sebastian's last text. Barely able to string a thought together but not wanting to disappoint Vivian, he casually replied, "Juice is fine. Whatever we have."

"Alright."

Vivian nodded obediently, watching him disappear into the bedroom before turning to head downstairs.

Julian remained utterly zoned out until he finished showering and sank into the hot bath. The steaming water finally cleared some of the fog in his brain.

He wiped the water from his face, grabbed a dry towel to wipe his hands, and snatched his phone off the vanity.

Julian pulled up Sebastian's chat and fired back: [Do you even realize what you're saying?]

Stealing his wife?

He wanted to pursue Elara?

Was Sebastian insane?

What kind of sick joke was this?
