She didn’t want to admit it, even though she knew that he would only have arrived at such a conclusion because he still did not remember her.
Still, she felt like her emotions were choking her up inside.
“What makes you say that?”
“You guessed Jonathan’s thoughts almost completely accurately, and I bet you purposely wore your clothes like that today. You wanted to get rid of all the people supporting Shanae,” Sebastian said, sounding rather unhappy.
Sasha was taken aback.
She hadn’t expected that he would have known that as well.
In all honesty, she was wearing her clothes that way for a special reason.
When she had gone to the store to pick out a dress with Janice, she had spotted Jasmine. Then, when Janice picked out an old-fashioned, frumpy dress for her, she hadn’t said no.
She didn’t know whose side Janice was on, but knowing Jasmine, she would never have let something like that slide.
As expected, during the actual party, Jasmine had begun to work her catty ways.
Still, Sasha hadn’t said anything about all that. How had he guessed?
She looked at him with a pale face, staying quiet for a long time.
“Darling, I-”
Before she could finish her sentence, his handsome face immediately darkened, and he got up to walk away.
“Where are you going?” Sasha asked, hurriedly chasing after him.
But he didn’t even look back, much less answer her. He strode out as if he couldn’t hear Sasha.
She started to sway on her feet, feeling as if there was a huge boulder crushing her chest. Staring at Sebastian’s retreating back, she felt a wave of fear, pain, and heartbreak crashing over her.
She had no idea what she had done to deserve this.
Even though she may not have told him that she had done it all on purpose, she didn’t think she was in the wrong. After all, she was just protecting herself when he wasn’t around. Was she truly the criminal here?
The chill in her bones had spread throughout her entire body. She felt as if she had been frozen in place.
The two boys behind her were fuming at the sight.
“How could Daddy do that? He’s making Mommy sad again. Let’s go and get him back!”
“Okay!”
The two boys ran out of the hotel, ready to find their father.
They didn’t go very far before bumping into the familiar tall figure right at the hotel doors. The man had some olive green clothes in hand as he came back.
“Daddy? What’s this?”
