Remorse After Breaking Up

After Lynette shared the news with Steven, he burst into laughter.

Lynette turned to Evelyn, expressing her concern. "Even if nothing has happened between them yet, there's no guarantee for the future. That's why we must make them divorce as soon as possible."

"Absolutely, I made a deal with him. If he can't seal the Skylink deal within five days, he has to divorce Lillian.

"And as you know, that project is under the Shadowtiger Group, and he's angered Mr. Miller. If he stays away, fine. But if he dares to show up, Mr. Miller will definitely make him pay," Evelyn explained.

Steven chimed in with a smile, "There's no need to wait five days. I just received news that the Shadowtiger Group will host a bidding event in two days. I'll seal the deal for you then. Consider it a betrothal gift for Lillian."

Evelyn doubtfully inquired, "Lillian has tried several times yet failed to secure the deal. Are you confident?"

"Of course," Steven replied confidently. "I'm good friends with Mr. Miller's son, Kieran. I'll personally speak to him on the day of the bidding event and ensure our success."

Steven was confident. He frequently indulged in women with Kieran and had recently gifted him his favorite secretary. He was convinced that Kieran would return the favor.

…

After leaving the hospital, Lillian didn't return home but instead called Sebastian. "Where are you?" she asked.

"I'm at work. What's up?" Sebastian replied. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

"Come home after work; I need to talk to you," Lillian said before ending the call.

Sebastian initially planned to return home immediately. But, upon recalling his mention of being at work, he opted to wait patiently until it was almost time to leave before finally driving home.

Despite the array of luxury cars at his workplace, he had always opted for modesty, considering it was merely for commuting. Hence, he drove a sedan worth just over 100 thousand dollars.

He made a quick trip to the supermarket to pick up some groceries before heading home.

Upon his arrival, Sebastian noticed that the door was partially ajar. Inside, he found Lillian seated on the living room couch, her expression unusually serious.

"Honey, what's wrong?" he asked.

Lillian fixed him with a serious gaze. "What are your thoughts on my pregnancy?" she inquired.

Sebastian immediately realized she might have discovered the truth. "You're not pregnant at all. You can't fool me. After all, I'm a master healer," he stated seriously.

"If you knew I wasn't pregnant, why didn't you tell me?" Lillian asked in frustration.

"I didn't want to embarrass you by exposing your lie," he replied.

"Who's lying here? I genuinely believed I was pregnant," Lillian retorted.

Sebastian feigned surprise and innocence. "So, you weren't deceiving me?" he asked.

Lillian saw through his act and felt even more irritated.

"I went for a check-up today, and the doctor confirmed my virginity. Care to explain that?" she demanded.

Sebastian was taken aback that she knew about this.

"While I do appreciate beauty, exploiting someone's vulnerability is not in my nature. Why do you appear so let down?" he countered.

"Who's feeling let down now? Don't play innocent. I know men like you too well. Given the chance twice, how could you simply stand by? There's only one explanation: you're incapable," Lillian accused.

She added, "Don't worry, I won't mock you. And I'll keep your secret as long as you continue to play along with our charade until my family stops pressuring me into marriage."

Sebastian smirked mischievously.

"How dare you question my virility? It seems I need to prove myself," he said before pushing Lillian onto the couch.
