“It’s not about whether I want to go back, but…” Sasha was fuming when she came to a realization. Even her fingers were trembling.
“Why do you want to return to Avenport?” she asked with a quivering voice; her eyes reddened.
Sebastian’s heart skipped a bit, and he quickly raised his head.
When he was about to explain himself, he saw tears streaming down Sasha’s cheeks.
“Have you regained your consciousness a long time ago? Have you been lying to me all along?”
“No…”
“Sebastian, you jerk! Have you been lying to me all along? Did you know how much I wished for you to regain your consciousness? Do you have any idea how much effort I’ve put in just to make you recover? How could you lie to me?”
Sasha was on the brink of a mental breakdown.
She had pulled herself through such agonizing times and worked so hard, yet Sebastian had chosen to hide it from her after regaining his consciousness, tormenting her even further.
Sasha spun around and ran away.
“Darling…”
Sebastian, who had always been pretending to be calm, finally panicked. He tossed his book aside and chased after her.
However, Sasha ran really quickly. When he rushed out of the bedroom, she took the stairs and was already on the second floor. Even from a floor apart, he could hear her sobs.
The housemaids downstairs were gossiping about it. “What happened? Did Mr. Jadeson fight with Mrs. Jadeson again?”
“No way! Mr. Jadeson has already recovered. Why would he still argue with her?”
“Why is she crying then? I’ve never seen her cry so sadly before. Didn’t you hear her sobs? It’ll be bad if she attracts Old Mr. Jadeson’s attention.”
Even the housemaids can tell that I’ve recovered. Only that woman is still completely oblivious and she’s even blaming me for not telling her!
The veins on Sebastian’s forehead throbbed.
But what can I do about it? She’s my wife. I have to coax her no matter what. Anyway, everything she says is right. Even if it’s not, it’s all my fault!
Sebastian chased after her.
Sure enough, when he reached the first floor, Jonathan came out, having heard the commotion. He was standing in front of Sasha, who was crying her heart out.
“What happened? Why are you crying like that?”
Sasha continued sobbing.
It was the first time she had lost her composure in front of Jonathan.
However, she was so sad that she could not control herself at all.
“He… He lied to me.”
