Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 367

More importantly, she didn't peg Sebastian as the type to lose his mind and act with total disregard for the consequences.

He might come across as a ruthless lone wolf who answered to no one, but beneath that icy exterior, she believed he still harbored genuine kindness and a deep sense of loyalty, especially toward his family.

Since his mother passed, his grandfather was the only real family he had left. The old man was frail, and she couldn't imagine Sebastian deliberately breaking his heart.

No matter how much he felt indebted to her or appreciated her, she was still ultimately an outsider.

Why would he risk his family for her?

Even if his desire to help her was fueled by deeper, more complicated feelings.

She still didn't believe she was worth him hurting the only grandfather he had.

After sending the message, she plugged her phone in, grabbed her clothes, and went to take a shower.

Once she was ready for bed, she checked her phone, only to see his chillingly brief reply: [Why wouldn't I?]

Her heart skipped a beat. Thinking she had misread it, she stared blankly at the screen, her mind racing before a profound chill finally settled over her.

It wasn't a hallucination.

He had actually sent that.

It had been sitting there for thirty minutes. He hadn't unsent it, and he hadn't offered a single word of justification.

That was his genuine, unfiltered thought process.

Her pulse hammered wildly against her ribs as an inexplicable sense of dread clawed at her chest.

Was this truly the same kind-hearted boy she had watched grow up?

She couldn't believe he could be so utterly cold-blooded regarding his own grandfather.

Terrified to dwell on the implications, she tossed and turned all night, her mind spinning out of control until sheer exhaustion finally dragged her into sleep just as the sun began to rise.

It felt like she had barely closed her eyes before her alarm started blaring.
