Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 340

But Elara didn't overthink it.

When Sebastian had almost said "we," he likely meant his partner, his future wife.

Perhaps he just wasn't ready to share details about his significant other yet, which was why he stopped himself and changed his wording at the last second.

"Then you'd better work hard," Elara joked, steering the conversation past the awkward moment.

Sebastian felt a twinge of regret, but his expression remained perfectly composed as he offered a candid smile. "I definitely will."

He loved her, but not to pressure her or make things difficult.

He had waited through all these years; a little more time wouldn't hurt.

Sebastian was nothing if not patient. After slowly finishing his glass of water, he tactfully set it down and stood up to say goodbye. "It's getting late. You should get some rest."

Elara stood up and walked him to the door.

Stepping outside, Sebastian didn't leave immediately. He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Elara was puzzled. Just as she was about to ask if he had forgotten something, Sebastian turned around. He looked at her intently, his eyes curving into a smile, radiating a gentle warmth that seemed somewhat out of character for him.

Bewildered by his gaze, Elara couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"

Sebastian smiled and shook his head. Fearing she wouldn't believe him, he gave a helpless chuckle. "I'm just really happy today."

His tone was as gentle as ever, yet laced with a rare touch of seriousness.

Elara didn't quite understand, but she was genuinely happy for him. "Congratulations?"

Sebastian looked down with a soft laugh and replied earnestly, "Thank you."

He raised a hand and gave a slight wave. "Goodnight."
