บททั้งหมดของ She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked: บทที่ 271 - บทที่ 280

Sebastian never got that phone call.Mainly because Scar didn’t go through it. Call it cold feet, but she wasn’t even sure how to talk to him about it -- about her revenge plan.Never before had she felt so lonely, not even in those five years.In those five years, she knew she was shutting herself down. She couldn’t let herself crawl out of the grief of her baby, but she knew she had friends, and maybe families if she wanted.Not like now.She was so determined to die with Ava. To ruin her life like how Ava ruined hers, before ending it with their death. That was so simple and efficient a plan, and she was okay with that.But she can’t find the courage to embrace death in her anymore, not after the incident with Sebastian.She didn’t know if he saved her out of love or guilt, but he did save her. She had a glimpse of death, and he sheltered that dark shadow with his own body, and that shone a new light on her life. She is still living in the big house Silco got her, having all the fan

“What are you doing here?!”An angry shout bursts out when Scar is just finishing putting her signature down on the contract.Ava barges into the office.Sebastian wasted no time to fulfill his promise as if worried that she would back out of the deal she brought to him. Worried about Ava? Even after all the shitty things Ava pulled, he still takes care of her. Protecting Ava is a habit carved deep into his bones.His secretary drafted the movie contract with shocking speed. Scar would have had her lawyer go through it, but she didn’t. Even if there were loopholes in the contract, she wouldn’t care.Her target was never the profit. It was Ava.Watching Ava storming in, Scar just sits there with a taunting smile. This is such a familiar scene that Scar almost can’t stop herself from laughing -- there was a time when she was the angry wife storming into his office when he was spending time with Ava.“Fancy seeing you here, Mrs. Knight,” Scar taunts with her head tilted. Ava pauses a sec

“Sebastian, please. You know today is important to mom,” In the end, Ava softens her voice, putting on her innocent victim act. After all, that’s the role she has been practicing her full life, “Mom sees Mrs. Green as her own granny, and they haven’t seen each other in decades. I just want to make sure that the night will go smoothly, that’s all.”Sebastian cocks his eyebrows, genuinely shocked. A bit apprehensive, he dares not to look at Scar, only to realize Scar might not even know--Scar has no clue that her mom has anything to do with THE Green family in the country. Not to mention the fact that Anna Fuller knew Emma way before their marriage drama with Johnny Vanderbilt. Green is too common a name, and Scar only picked it because the only one who ever showed her love was the mom who died for her.“I don’t think being rude to Mrs. Green’s invited guest would do that,” Sebastian grabs Scar’s wrist, showing the invitation held in her hand to Ava as if it’s just an innocent move. Sc

Couldn’t handle his disappointment, he disappeared from their city, spending that whole summer traveling Europe, trying to figure out where it went wrong.That was when he designed that ring -- in memory of the girl he saved, not Ava.He sold that ring when he accepted the marriage with Scar, as a goodbye to his girl that he could no longer marry. In the end he could only accept the fact that Ava turned into an ordinary person just like every one else in his life -- they lie, they cheat and they suck up. They had no light in their eyes. So did Ava.He could have seen through Ava’s lie on that day, or on any of the 1000 days that followed. He could have redeemed himself and give the happiness to Scar just like he promised.But he didn’t.He took the ring as the innocent part of Ava that died, but he never knew his angel had always been in front of his eyes, hid in blind site by the evil, and was pushed off the cliff by his own hand.Sebastian sighs, his voice low and heavy, but instead

Phew. Scar lets out a dry laugh with the sunny boy. That sounds like a good idea, except she was in prison when that happened, and it wasn’t exactly a place where she had free communication.“Well, you didn’t tell me you would want to know,” Scar tries to brush it over, but Scott won’t let her--“Of course I would,” He says, suddenly the light taunting in his eyes got replaced by seriousness, “So I could pursue you, rightfully.”Scar opens her mouth, only to close them.She wants to pull out some joke, but fails to when she sees Scott’s serious face. How on earth should she respond to such a line?! She barely knew him to begin with! Not to mention, she is not in any position for a serious relationship. She can barely keep her mental state in check, let alone devote that kind of emotion into another.“Hmmm…” Scar tries to reboot her brain.“You don’t still love him, do you?” Scott stands up, approaching her slowly until Scar backs into the wall. He grabs the doorknob beside her, blocki
