Sebastian Brenand was now sporting a messy, untrimmed beard, appearing exhausted.
He handed his letter over to Xyla Quest the moment he walked in. “Here, what did you want to tell me?”
With that, he promptly reached for a chair, placing it next to Xyla and Stanley Batton’s bed before sinking down on it.
Xyla stayed in bed and directly opened Rachel Wood’s letter, noticing a dried tear mark in the center of a red flower at the bottom right of the paper.
It was indicative of how heartbroken Rachel had been as she wrote this letter.
However, the mark was faint, so no one would notice it with a single glance.
Frowning deeply, she peered at Sebastian. “Before Rachel left, did anything happen between the two of you? Or did Rachel show any odd behavior?”
Sebastian shook his head. “No, everything was fine between us. We went shopping after leaving your place the other day, and then she asked me to take her out to a fancy place for dinner.
"After dinner, she was very affectionate and gentle. She even gave me a massage. I didn’t even realize when I’d fallen asleep.
“She was gone when I woke up in the morning. That’s when I saw this letter by the bed,” he recalled carefully.
“The only odd thing was that Rachel usually doesn’t behave like this. I thought she was being spontaneous, but now that I've considered it through, she was probably preparing to leave. That’s why she wanted to be good to me for the last time.” Sebastian cried after saying this.
Sebastian lifted his head to wipe the tears away before attempting to hold his tears back.
It didn’t help.
After spending so much time with Rachel, they’d practically become inseparable.
