Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 299

Convinced by his own logic, Julian seamlessly slipped into the role of a concerned elder watching out for his naive nephew.

He typed out a patronizing lecture: [I know you're worried about Elara, and I get where you're coming from, but you need to think this through.]

[She probably hates my guts for leaving her. To get what she wants, she'll ruthlessly use everyone and everything at her disposal.]

[I'm not blaming you for helping her.]

[I'm just saying, don't get too invested. Be careful not to get played.]

Because the exact nature of Sebastian's feelings and Elara's response were still a massive question mark, Julian couldn't push too hard. He could only offer a thinly veiled warning not to get scammed.

Nearly half an hour had passed since their rapid-fire exchange. Sebastian must have gotten busy with something else because a reply didn't immediately come.

Julian wasn't in a rush. Having said his piece, he set his phone down. Hearing movement outside the bathroom, he guessed Vivian had come upstairs, so he grabbed a robe, hauled himself out of the tub, and wrapped himself up.

Just as he finished blow-drying his hair, the phone on the marble vanity buzzed. A new message.

Julian put the dryer away and snatched up the phone.

Sebastian: [???]

[I'm twenty-four, not four. I know exactly what I'm doing.]

[I know Elara far better than you ever did. Save your pathetic attempts at manipulation.]

Julian stared at the screen.

Whatever else was going on, it was painfully clear that Sebastian was utterly fixated on Elara and was completely deaf to reason.

Could Sebastian's feelings actually be genuine?

And to claim he knew Elara better than him?

Sure, Sebastian had met Elara first, but not by much.

After a brief stint together, they had been separated for years.

During all those years, Julian had been the one by her side—first as her boyfriend, then as her husband.

He had spent a decade waking up next to her. For Sebastian to claim he knew her better was utterly laughable.
