He raised his hand and wanted to touch her face, but she was shocked and took a step back.
Scarlett gazed at his right hand in a daze, as if she was mentally traumatized, her dark pupils tinged
with fear.
Upon seeing this. Sebastian seemed to comprehend something, and swiftly withdrew his hand while
reassuring her, “Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any more harm.”
Scarlett, who had been pretending to be calm, suddenly collapsed. “Stay away from me.”
Sebastian shook his head lightly. “Scarlett, I can’t stay away from you”
Scarlett’s face darkened. “I’ve told you before. My name is Rebecca, not Scarlett. How many times do I
have to say it to make you believe me?”
Sebastian’s eyes, which were as cold as snow, turned red bit by bit. “Are you… really not her?”
“No!”
Scarlett raised her palm-sized face, revealing an extremely ostentatious expression.
Sebastian’s thick eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes still filled with disbelief.
He stepped closer to her, cornering her, then gently caressed her cheek with his hand
Scarlett thought that he was forcibly kissing her again. She pushed him away and turned to run, but he
suddenly hugged her from behind.
His tall, straight frame embraced her petite body, his firm, strong chest pressing against her back.
Scarlett was very angry and struggled desperately. The man did not even let go. His body was
motionless like an iron wall.
She suddenly felt extremely foolish. “Sir, do you have a particular fondness for married women?”
The man paid no heed to her sarcasm, restraining her with one hand while raising his well-defined
fingers to push away the short hair behind her face
He lightly traced the small scar with his fingertips, and a faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips. He
was certain; she was his Scarlett, and he had not been mistaken. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
However, the scar was rooted in Sebastian’s heart, causing his eyes, which had always been
indifferent and alienated, to be stained with
endless sins.
His fingers trembled as he touched the scar on the back of her head and apologized. “I’m sorry. That
slap took your life…”
Scarlett tilted her head slightly to avoid his touch. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
After the nail was removed, a scar was indeed visible on the back of Scarlett’s head, though she
refused to acknowledge it.
Sebastian did not force her to admit it. He only used his fingers to rub the scar again and again.
Every time he rubbed it, his heart would ache, the dense pain plunging him into an abyss.
His eyes gradually reddened. When he spoke again, his voice was already hoarse. “Does it still hurt?”
Does it hurt?
It did.
It hurt so much that she fell to the cold floor, unable to even cry for help.
It hurt so much that she was completely disappointed in him that she did not even have the will to live.
It hurt so much that she wanted to see him before she died, but he was not willing to pick up her call.
That kind of pain was not something that could be easily replaced by physical pain.
It was also after this pain that she finally saw how heartless Sebastian was to her.
But wasn’t it ridiculous for such a heartless man to hug her and ask if she was in pain?
With a cold face, Scarlett said expressionlessly. “It’s been five minutes. Let me go.”
How could he bear to let go of the woman in his arms? “There are some things I haven’t told you yet.”
He buried his sharp chin in her neck and whispered in her ear, “Scarlett…”
Scarlett’s face darkened again. “Don’t call me that!”
Back then, when he had pressed her down on the bed and was frantically trung to get inside her he
had called out to her with such a tone.
He had made her believe that he was in love with her, and she had gradually relinquished control of her
heart.
She was also stupid. How could someone like Sebastian fall in love with a mistress?
In the past, she hadn’t been able to see it clearly, but now that she was fully awake, she realized how
foolish she had been.
