Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 434

Elara paused her chopping of the broccolini, the knife hovering over the cutting board. She blinked, slowly turning to look at Jocelyn. "What makes you think that?"

She thought back carefully. Over the past while, whenever Sebastian visited, he had been a perfect gentleman. He hadn't crossed any boundaries, so he shouldn't have sparked any wild assumptions.

If they had accidentally done something suspicious, Jocelyn would have asked right then and there. Why wait until now?

Elara quickly ran through every scenario in her head and relaxed slightly. "Where did you hear this gossip?"

Jocelyn never hid anything from her daughter. Since Elara asked, she answered honestly. "Earlier, when you and Julian were out front..."

Elara fell silent.

So she had overheard their argument.

"I was worried things would get out of hand, so I went to check on the situation after putting the groceries away," Jocelyn explained.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop," she hurriedly added.

The walls in this apartment were well-insulated, but even with great soundproofing, anyone pressing their ear against the door would catch some of the commotion outside.

Especially since Julian had been blinded by rage. He had yelled at Elara, making it perfectly easy to hear every word.

When she heard Julian accuse Elara of hooking up with Sebastian, Jocelyn had been thoroughly shocked and in disbelief.

However, Elara hadn't denied it, which instantly reignited her suspicions.

Elara had been brilliant since she was a little girl. Even at an age when most kids just whined to their parents, she knew exactly what she wanted, what lines not to cross, and how to take charge of her own life.
