Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 395

Elara looked at Melody like she was about to cry. "Baby, I think Mommy is in big trouble."

"Huh?" Melody didn't understand.

Knowing she couldn't possibly explain this to a toddler, Elara let out a heavy sigh and pushed herself up from the floor. "Why don't you go take a bath first? I need to text Sebastian back."

Melody's attention instantly shifted, her eyes sparkling as she stared at her mom. "Did Sebastian text you? Did he make it home?"

"Did he text to say he's safe?"

"Let me see, Mom! I want to talk to Sebastian on WhatsApp too!"

Elara was speechless.

She had miscalculated.

Forget about completely cutting ties with Sebastian in the future—with things as they were, it would be nearly impossible just to explain to Melody why he wouldn't be coming over tomorrow.

Was this Sebastian's true goal in making Melody rely on him so much?

The more Melody depended on him, the harder it would be to part with him, leaving Elara with fewer chances to reject him while letting him inch his way deeper into their lives.

Hah.

Elara laughed in frustration. What kind of rose-tinted glasses had she been wearing? How could she have ever thought that a man who effortlessly navigated the treacherous waters between the Vance and Beckett families—without leaving a single flaw for the old foxes to pick at—was somehow pure and innocent?

With his level of manipulation, it was a miracle he hadn't played both family patriarchs for absolute fools!

"No."
