Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 402

Elara felt a sour note in her chest, but knowing her daughter had innocent intentions, she pushed it aside and explained, "We didn't fight."

Melody looked skeptical and double-checked, "Really?"

Elara had no choice but to firmly repeat, "Yes."

"If you don't believe me, ask him."

She ruthlessly tossed the grenade right back at Sebastian.

He created this mess, he could clean it up.

There was no reason for her, the victim, to carry the blame.

Sebastian was clearly stunned by her quick deflection, freezing for a brief second before pasting on a warm smile as Melody turned to him. Meeting the little girl's expectant gaze, he nodded softly. "Your mom isn't lying to you. We aren't fighting."

Melody nodded, showing she understood, though her suspicions lingered.

"Then why are you two acting so weird?" she asked bluntly.

Sebastian blinked in surprise, instinctively glancing at Elara for a cue, only to find she had whipped her head away, giving him nothing but a cold side profile.

She was clearly refusing to help, forcing him to clean up his own mess.

Sebastian chuckled again, completely unbothered. In fact, seeing this delightfully stubborn, uncharacteristic side of Elara filled him with immense joy.

He felt a pang of intense regret and blazing jealousy, realizing he had missed out on so many years of discovering these adorable facets of her.

He was insanely jealous that Julian had monopolized Elara for a decade, having total, exclusive access to her charming, witty self.

If he had confessed earlier, if they had been together from the start, all those years and moments Julian had wasted would have belonged to him.

And that bastard hadn't even appreciated it!

If it were him, he would never let anyone else catch a glimpse of this captivating side of Elara!
