As soon as Karl left, all the women scurried away too, leaving behind Sasha and Sebastian in that messy private room.
Sasha wanted to leave as well, but was held back by her aching body.
Both her head and hands felt like they were going to break. She was determined not to show her disheveled side in front of that man.
Hence, she sat there waiting.
“Why are you still here? Reminiscing the good times?” The annoyed Sebastian threw her a question while wiping the blood off his hand.
Sasha was rendered speechless.
Just as I’ve predicted, it’s impossible that he came to save me. Look at how cold and impatient he is right now! He has no slightest concern for me.
A moment later, Sasha nodded while lowering her head. “Yup, I’m about to leave.”
Then, Sasha decided to bite the bullet, straighten her back, and walk out as if she was perfectly fine.
Before she could move a muscle, that man came over after cleaning his blood-stained hands. Grimaced, he bent down in front of her.
Oh my goodness!
His action came like a bolt from the blue.
Sasha froze for five seconds before blurting out a stupid question, “What… What are you doing?”
“What do you think? You want me to carry you bridal style? Dream on, Sasha!” he said harshly.
Sebastian had a horrifying look on his face as he assumed that Sasha wanted him to carry her like a princess instead of piggybacking her.
Gobsmacked, Sasha’s eyes went wide with shock.
No, I wasn’t asking for more. The fact that he wants to carry me on his back is crazy enough.
Blushed, she quickly explained herself, “No, I didn’t mean that, I…”
“Hurry up and get up. I don’t have so much time to waste on you. You won’t even make it to my priority list if not for the two children.”
His words made her heart sank. She had completely lost her last shred of dignity.
With that, she got up on his back with ease.
After all, he has clarified that he’s doing this for the sake of the children.
In the end, that was how Sasha managed to leave the place. His last sentence impacted her in a way that she had totally let her guard down.
As they walked, they started chatting.
“Why did you come here out of the blue?”
“Why can’t I be here?”
