She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 248

Prepared for this question, Scar answers unnecessarily fast: “I couldn’t risk anyone helping Ava to get MY Mom’s necklace. That’s why.”

Her answer dims the pleasant light in Sebastian’s eyes.

“I know…” Sebastian nods slowly, hiding the disappointment in his eyes, “But you didn’t have to come help because of that, did you?”

Scar snorts coldly: “I’m doing this for Granny, not you.”

“Granny kicked me out of the company for what happened five years ago,” Sebastian lets out a light laugh, “I’m pretty sure she would be the last one who would want you to help me right now.”

Scar raises her eyebrows. She didn’t think Granny would be so cruel to Sebastian, but then again, there weren’t too many who could rip Sebastian’s title easily.

“What did you tell her?” Scar frowns.

Scar blamed Sebastian only because he trusted the wrong person. Legally, or any other aspect speaking, he wasn’t the killer five years ago. He just protected the killer was all. But Ava was never convicted, and Scar didn’t think Granny would know about any of the truth.

After all, nobody knows, not even her.

Sebastian gazes into her eyes, and seeing Scar dodging him, he sighs very lightly: “I told her I failed to protect my wife, AND I failed my promise to the little girl I saved, too.”

“Don’t look at me like that,” Scar snorts coldly, “You know well enough who that ring is for.”

Sebastian covers his left chest with a hand slowly, that's where the ring lies. The ring was for the little girl, yes. He designed the ring for her, and he did want to give it to Ava. But he didn’t. He thought it was because there was never a good timing, but later he realized, it was because he couldn’t see that girl in Ava. He accepted that the perfect girl could only exist in his memory when he decided not to give the ring to Ava, and he decided to give up Ava when he walked onto the altar with Scar.

That was when he sold his ring, at the price of a dollar.

He was all-hearted about spending the rest of his life with Scar. That’s why he wanted to get back his ring. He has been looking for the ring ever since Scar told him the truth about the mistake twenty years ago, and he realizes he wanted that ring on Scar’s finger all along.

And now, there really isn’t a right timing, and there never will be.
