Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 421

However, barely into the start of his projected six-month timeline, Elara had already come to her senses and offered him a formal apology.

Right now, Sebastian felt absolutely nothing but unadulterated joy.

"Are you..."

Terrified that he would wake up and find it all a dream, Sebastian took several deep breaths, fighting to suppress the wild surge of emotion in his chest. He forced his voice to remain carefully controlled. "Do you... do you know what you're saying?"

Elara had expected Sebastian to either erupt in ecstatic celebration or refuse to believe her and demand confirmation.

She had never anticipated that instead of either reaction, he would simply ask her if she knew the gravity of her own words.

"Of course."

Elara offered him a small smile and countered, "Do you need me to repeat it?"

Sebastian stared at her unblinkingly, his gaze so intense it felt as though he were trying to carve her image into his very soul. A predatory edge suddenly sharpened his aura.

His gaze sent a shiver down Elara's spine, and her body involuntarily shrank back.

That subtle flinch snapped Sebastian back to his senses. He forced himself to look away, turning slightly as he took another deep breath. Only when he had completely reined himself in did he look back at her.

"Then you understand exactly what saying this means, right?" Sebastian pressed for confirmation one last time.

Elara kept her smile steady, answering without a second of hesitation. "Of course."

This time, before Sebastian could even ask, Elara volunteered the explanation. "It means I won't just look at you as a close younger brother anymore, and I certainly won't use that as an excuse to run from you. I am going to take your feelings and your pursuit seriously."

She paused for a moment before adding, "However, on that front, I might still owe you an apology."
