Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 18

"Let's go inside," Lillian said.

Just as she was about to enter the building, Sebastian caught her arm.

"Wait a moment. Are you sure you won't regret this?" Sebastian asked.

"If I'll regret it, I wouldn't have come," Lillian replied.

"In that case, wear this." Sebastian took out a blood-red pendant necklace and placed it around her neck.

The pendant was shaped like a teardrop magnified several times, hence its name, the Seraphic Tear Pendant necklace.

"What's this?" Lillian asked, feeling puzzled.

"It's my most precious possession. From now on, it will be the Wilder family's family heirloom," Sebastian explained with a smile.

Lillian didn't think much of it. To her, it was just an ordinary pendant necklace.

The two entered the city hall and emerged later with the marriage certificate.

Sitting in the car, Sebastian examined the marriage certificate and studied the photo they had taken.

He was beaming in the picture, but Lillian's smile seemed somewhat forced.

Lillian started the car and drove off.

"Where are we heading?" Sebastian asked.

"Home," Lillian replied flatly.

"I haven't bought a house yet. Shall we go buy one now? I have money," Sebastian suggested.

He had been living alone in his office before, but now that he was married, he couldn't let Lillian stay there with him.

"Keep your money for yourself. Although we're married now, I won't spend a cent of yours," Lillian said firmly.

Shortly after, Lillian drove into a luxurious villa area and parked in front of one of the villas.

"Honey, is this your house?" Sebastian asked as he wandered around the villa.

Lillian nodded. "I've only stayed in this house a few times since buying it, but I'll be living here more often from now on."

Sebastian felt reassured after hearing this. Ten times the amount was just 100 million dollars, which he didn't really care about.

However, Lillian still had some doubts. She hurried to the study to print out two copies of the agreement.

"Take a look. If everything's fine, then sign it," Lillian said.

Sebastian quickly skimmed through the agreement. Apart from the condition Lillian had mentioned, there were a few other ones, like not allowing him upstairs, dressing properly when leaving the room, and maintaining hygiene.

Sebastian tore the agreement in half after reading it.

"What are you doing?" Lillian exclaimed angrily upon seeing Sebastian tear up the agreement.

Sebastian smirked contemptuously. "You married me willingly; I didn't force you. Now, you're presenting me with an agreement, forbidding me from touching you. That's something I absolutely cannot accept."

"I won't say it again. I'll give you ten million dollars, and if you find it insufficient, I'll double it," Lillian said.

"I don't want a single cent. I just want you," Sebastian said as he approached her.

"Don't come any closer!" Lillian exclaimed. She hastily took a few steps back, attempting to flee.
