Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 336

Furthermore, Sebastian wasn't irrational. Knowing she was tied to someone else and had a family, he had undoubtedly fought his feelings, trying and failing to walk away time and time again.

He had carried this agonizing burden entirely alone for years. Berating him for it now felt unbearably cruel.

With his feelings rooted this deeply, Maddox knew full well that his disapproval or interference wouldn't make Sebastian let her go.

At this stage, any manipulative tactics were entirely pointless.

He was an old man with one foot in the grave. His only lingering desire in this world was to see his sole grandson live a happy, fulfilling life. Sparking a bitter war over a situation he couldn't change, and dying with regrets and anxieties, would guarantee he'd never find peace in the afterlife.

He had no intention of crossing over only to face the furious accusations of his late wife and Juliet.

Maddox let out a heavy, rattling sigh. In the span of a few mere minutes, the weight of the world seemed to age him another decade.

"Do whatever you want."

Maddox waved his hand dismissively, his energy drained. "I'm too old for this. I can't manage you anymore."

He gripped the armrests of his chair, struggling to stand.

Seeing this, Sebastian immediately rushed around the desk to help him up.

Maddox stiffened for a fraction of a second, but didn't pull away, allowing Sebastian to support his weight.

"Just do whatever it is you're going to do," Maddox muttered, his voice thick with resignation. "Once I'm gone, this family and the company will belong to you anyway. If your choices drag our reputation through the mud, that's your mess to clean up."

Sebastian stayed completely silent, gently guiding the older man toward the door, obediently absorbing the lecture.

Once Maddox finished speaking and paused to catch his breath, Sebastian said with profound sincerity, "I'm sorry."
