Leonard’s question lingered in the air for a long moment.

Adele’s gaze immediately settled on Sebastian.

Meanwhile, the man remained standing calmly, still holding the phone in his hand.

But for the first time—

Sebastian did not answer right away.

And that pause only made the discomfort in Leonard’s chest grow stronger.

“Strange,” Leonard murmured quietly. “You usually deny it immediately.”

Sebastian finally let out a short breath.

“You’ve had too much to drink tonight.”

“That’s not an answer.”

    Sebastian’s words made the air on the apartment balcony feel much colder.On the other end of the call—Leonard fell silent for several seconds.Meanwhile, Sebastian continued holding the phone with a calm expression.But somehow, that calmness sounded the most dangerous of all.“Are you threatening me now?” Leonard finally asked quietly.Sebastian smiled faintly.“I’m just getting tired of hearing you talk about the woman who’s with me now.”Adele’s gaze immediately shifted toward Sebastian.Because his tone sounded far too real.No longer just part of their plan.And Leonard clearly caught that too.“Are you serious about all this nonsense?” Leonard said coldly.“What do you think?”Leonard clenched his jaw hard.Because the most infuriating part of all this was—Sebastian didn’t sound like he was joking at all.“I’ve known you too long, Sebastian.”“Then you should know when I’m serious.”The atmosphere on both sides of the call grew heavy once more.Rain continued falling softly o

    Adele’s phone continued vibrating on the table.Leonard’s name still glowed across the screen.Meanwhile, Sebastian stood extremely close in front of her now.His gaze was no longer as calm as usual.“Choose now…” Sebastian repeated softly. “Are you going to answer it, or stay here with me?”Adele studied him for a few seconds.Then without saying much—She walked past the table.And declined Leonard’s call.A faint change crossed Sebastian’s expression.Meanwhile, Adele slowly stepped closer again.“Was that answer clear enough?”The corner of Sebastian’s lips curved slightly.“More or less.”But a few seconds later—The phone vibrated again.Leonard.Adele let out a soft sigh.“He’s unbelievably stubborn.”Sebastian leaned against the side of the table while watching her.“You can ignore him tonight.”Adele fell silent for a moment.Because the most complicated part of all this was—She didn’t actually want to give Leonard a clear rejection.Not yet.Not because of feelings.But bec

    After the call ended, the apartment living room fell completely silent.Adele’s phone still rested on the table.Meanwhile, Sebastian stood near the window, his jaw subtly tense.The rain outside had grown heavier that night.And Adele knew—The man was thinking about far too many things.“You don’t have to look like that,” she finally said.Sebastian let out a short, humorless laugh.“Like what?”“As if everything is starting to spiral out of control.”Sebastian slowly turned his gaze toward her.“Isn’t it?”Adele exhaled softly before rising from the sofa.“You’re thinking too much about Leonard.”“I’m more afraid that you’re thinking too much about him.”The words made Adele fall silent for a few seconds.But she didn’t avoid him.“I haven’t changed my mind.”Sebastian stared at the woman in front of him for a long moment.“He said he can’t live without you.”“That’s Leonard’s problem.”“You know he’s serious now.”Adele slowly walked closer.Her gaze remained calm.“And I’m still

    Leonard stood frozen in the dining room doorway.His gaze immediately locked onto Sebastian’s hand still resting over Adele’s fingers.And strangely—That simple sight hurt far more than it should have.“Leonard.”Margaret finally broke the silence as she leaned back casually in her chair.“You’re late.”But Leonard barely heard her.His eyes remained fixed on Adele.Meanwhile, the woman looked far too calm. She didn’t pull her hand away. She didn’t move away from Sebastian.And that instantly made Leonard’s chest burn.“I didn’t realize you were all having lunch together,” he finally said.Sebastian smiled faintly. “Now you do.”Leonard’s gaze immediately shifted toward his best friend.And for the first time—He genuinely felt like punching Sebastian in the face.Margaret quietly observed her grandson.Then the older woman said casually—“You don’t need to worry about Miss Laurent anymore.”Leonard frowned. “What do you mean, Grandmother?”Margaret’s gaze briefly shifted toward Seba

  • The Wife He Abandoned   Chapter 63: A Confession Deliberately Created

    Margaret’s question lingered in the large dining room for several seconds.The older woman’s gaze remained fixed on Adele.Observing.Searching for the slightest crack.Meanwhile, Adele remained seated calmly, holding her teacup.“No,” she finally answered. “I only met Leonard at that gala.”Margaret did not respond immediately.Her gaze lingered for a few moments longer, as though trying to read something from Adele’s face.But as always—There was nothing easy to uncover from that woman.“Interesting,” Margaret murmured softly.Sebastian leaned back casually in his chair. “Grandmother is starting to sound like a detective.”“You’re talking too much today.”“That’s because your questions are too personal.”Margaret ignored the comment before looking back at Adele.“Then I’ll speak plainly.”The room instantly felt heavier.Even Sebastian slowly lowered his glass.“I don’t like Leonard getting too close to you.”This time, the words came without any pretense.Adele smiled faintly.“Yo

    After the call ended, the apartment’s living room immediately felt much quieter.Sebastian placed a small plate of bread in front of Elena before finally turning toward Adele.“That man is really starting to lose his mind.”Adele slowly turned off her phone screen.“You sound annoyed.”“I am annoyed.”The answer came out too honestly.Adele’s gaze lingered on the man in front of her for several seconds.Sebastian rarely showed his emotions this clearly.And that only made everything feel even more complicated.“Elena, eat slowly,” Sebastian said suddenly when he saw the little girl nearly spill her milk.Elena immediately giggled.Meanwhile, Adele continued watching Sebastian quietly.“You don’t like that Leonard is becoming serious,” she murmured softly.Sebastian let out a short breath.“I don’t like Leonard starting to think he deserves you.”The words made Adele’s chest tighten slightly.Because there was something in Sebastian’s tone that sounded far too real now.And she wasn’t
