Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 396

Sebastian's reply came in quickly.

And his answer was exactly what Elara had expected.

[I'm afraid I can't do that.]

When it was time to go on the offensive, Sebastian was always bold in action and blunt in his words.

[If I could just drop it, I wouldn't have started it in the first place,] he texted back.

Elara was left speechless.

They had known each other for over ten years. While they weren't quite family, they were far closer than ordinary friends and understood each other deeply.

Especially recently, they had been interacting a lot. Aside from Sebastian's occasional boundary-pushing, they had gotten along quite well, finding a comfortable rhythm.

If he didn't have an ulterior motive, Sebastian wouldn't have recklessly shattered this hard-won harmony.

Elara knew this all too well, but she still clung to a shred of hope, trying to salvage the situation. If they could just maintain the status quo, it would be ideal.

If not...

Elara stared at the screen for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh. She tapped the text box and replied: [You're putting me in a really difficult position.]

[I can't return your feelings, but I also don't want to sever all ties and pretend we never existed to each other.]

Sebastian quickly fired back: [You don't need to give me an answer right now.]

[I confessed because I couldn't hold it in anymore, just to let you know how I feel. I'm not demanding that you say yes immediately.]

[I just don't dare to have any expectations at this stage. Please don't misunderstand!!!]

Afraid she would take it the wrong way, Sebastian heavily emphasized his point.

Elara stared blankly at her phone.

Sebastian: [You definitely aren't in a place to consider these things right now, so I'm not rushing you. You don't need to feel burdened by this.]

Elara's eye twitched.

How could she not feel burdened?!

If that was the case, why even bring it up?
