Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 419

Elara stared at him.

If he wasn't going to tell her, how else was he supposed to show her?

Sebastian flashed her an incredibly enigmatic smile. "You can look forward to it."

Elara suppressed a sigh.

She really wasn't looking forward to it.

"I refuse to let history repeat itself. I will never let you suffer over someone else again," Sebastian stated, his voice low and firm.

Elara froze, the realization of his true intentions hitting her a beat late.

He was treating Julian's failures as a masterclass in what not to do. He was methodically eliminating any possible source of tension or misunderstanding that could fracture a relationship.

It was just that he probably felt she hadn't taken his confession seriously. Because she still viewed him as family—a younger brother rather than a man aggressively pursuing her—he had resorted to forcing his feelings onto her in a way she was historically accustomed to dealing with.

Even if she found the method profoundly irritating.

Even if she explicitly rejected his approach, he would simply adapt and find another way to fulfill his promise.

Elara fell silent. After a long moment, she set down her glass and turned slightly to face him, her expression dead serious. "Sebastian, I need to ask you something, and I need you to be completely honest with me."

She hadn't even addressed his previous point before abruptly shifting gears. Sebastian was momentarily thrown off, but he nodded anyway, gesturing for her to go ahead.

Elara studied his face, carefully weighing her words before tentatively asking, "Has the way I've been treating you lately... caused you pain?"

Sebastian had no idea where the question came from. He stared at her in pure shock.

Elara opened her mouth to explain, but finding the words impossibly difficult to say, she grabbed her glass and took a massive gulp of water instead.
