How dare he lashes out at me in front of so many people? How should I continue living as the woman of the house with dignity? How can I face them henceforth?
Jasmine was blazing with anger deep down, but she could only acquiesce to Stephen’s decision.
“I’m sorry, Dr. West. Indeed, my tongue was rather loose just now. Somehow, as I get older, I tend to lose my temper easily. Please don’t take it to heart,” she faked a smile and said through gritted teeth.
Her response got Sasha completely petrified.
She did not expect the way things had turned out. One moment, she was being chased out; and within the blink of an eye, the person who was so hostile toward her actually said sorry to her.
This feels great!
Overjoyed, she cast a glance at the man in the wheelchair.
“It’s okay. I was the one to blame for being so rude to both of you at the hospital. I’d like to apologize for my actions too.” Sasha tried to be the bigger person, and let bygones be bygones.
With that said and done, is Sebastian still planning to leave?
Everything seemed to have sorted out. Yet, the lot was quietly waiting in trepidation because that man was still moving in his wheelchair!
“Sebastian, you are…”
“Accompany me to the bathroom.” He took a quick glance at Devin, and then completed the sentence where he left off.
The whole living room fell silent.
So, after all the drama, he actually doesn’t have the intention to leave the house, but he just wants to go to the bathroom? What is he trying to do? Did he make a scene in order to stand up for this woman? What a bast*rd!
Jasmine was about to go ballistic.
Shortly after Devin pushed the wheelchair a distance away, Stephen slumped on the couch with a long face. He was infuriated. “This is too much!”
He’s gone overboard. Sasha concurred with his thoughts because she felt cheated too. So, he wasn’t planning on leaving with me, and I got so thrilled for nothing. Huh…
……
Half an hour later, everyone gathered at the dining table. Sasha sat next to Sebastian so that she could take care of him since his hands had not recovered fully.
“What would you like to have? I’ll help you.” Putting on the disposable gloves, she cleaned his cutleries while skimming through the sumptuous spread on the table.
