Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 2118

Sebastian Brenand became even more tender as he carefully held Rachel Wood in his arms, inhaling her familiar scent deeply.

They’d been apart for over a month, so it felt amazing to be holding her quietly like this.

It didn’t matter what he'd encountered out there as long as he was with Rachel, then he could calm down immediately.

After a long while, he began to speak in a sorrowful tone. “Darling, you’re all I have. I’ve already cut off ties with my parents. It’s all for you. From now on, you’re responsible for me. Don’t ever leave me, all right?”

Although Stanley Batton had already filled them in on this, she felt even more conflicted when it came from Sebastian himself.

Rachel knew what it meant to give up one’s parents for a woman. His decision moved her, but she also felt sorry for him, knowing how awful he must've felt.

There was no way he didn't feel anything for his parents.

Hurting someone one loved was the equivalent of hurting oneself.

“I’ll get the lawyer to draft out the divorce agreement, and I’ll hand it over to Yvette when the time comes. After that, there will be nothing between her and me," he went on.

“It won't matter if she refuses. We’ll go to court. I doubt she'd want this to blow up publicly. It would only embarrass her further.

“I don’t care what I have to do. I’m willing to do anything as long as I have you,” he added.

Hearing that made her feel even more touched, but also more conflicted at the same time.

“Don’t think so much. Just stay by my side,” he said.

“Sebastian, do you really think we're doing the right thing?” Rachel asked.

“I know that being with you is the right thing. Rachel, don’t leave me again, all right? I’m begging you,” he pleaded.

“I feel bad for Yvette,” she told him.
