Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 403

Without even knowing the actual cause, Melody was already feeding Sebastian strategies on how to beg for mercy.

Elara rubbed her temples.

Sebastian flashed a smile at Elara before giving Melody a very solemn answer. "I did apologize, but I don't think she felt it was enough, which is why she hasn't forgiven me yet."

"Oh, I see."

Melody nodded in understanding. She really wanted to help him, but she also knew Elara's boundaries. If she hadn't forgiven him after an apology, he must have messed up big time. She couldn't save him from this.

"Then..."

After thinking for a moment, Melody pumped her little fist in the air. "Good luck, Sebastian."

Sebastian stared blankly.

Weren't you just plotting with me a second ago?

How did you give up on me so fast?

To better integrate into Melody's world, Sebastian kept absolutely zero defenses up around her. He consciously mirrored a child's behavior, operating with total simplicity and communicating as transparently as possible.

Whether he was happy, annoyed, excited, or struggling, he exaggerated every emotion.

Before Elara had arrived, he had been in full "toddler mode" for ten minutes. The setting hadn't quite switched off yet, so when Melody abruptly abandoned him, his face morphed into a look of absolute, utterly betrayed shock.

It was the exact devastated expression a child makes when their best friend randomly ditches them in the middle of a playground pact.

Melody didn't need to guess; she read him loud and clear.

Guilt washed over her, but ultimately, Sebastian was the one who made a mistake. If he wanted Elara's forgiveness, he had to earn it himself.

To help or not to help—the moral dilemma pulled at her like a fierce game of tug-of-war.
