She Approved the Split He Fell Apart Novel

120 Second Chance

Sebastian’s POV

The shock in her eyes only tells me how much I have been ignoring her, how much I have taken her for granted, and how much she has been suffering for so long, that such a simple idea is surprising to her.

She glares at me, but her foggy eyes make her glare less fierce, more pitiful like a wronged kitten. Her fragile look tickles me, along with her steaming red cheeks.

I don’t want to see pain in her eyes, never again. I just want to wipe them off her eyes, in any way I can.

tilt my head, reaching for a kiss.

“If you dare–” Scar hisses at me angrily, her claw reaching for my face. I catch her tender wrist easily, whispering in her ear: “She’s watching, no?”

Scar hesitates, her watery deer eyes dart to the door, and I take my chance and land my lips gently on her swan neck, finally.

A stolen kiss, yet the sweetest ever.

I linger on her taste like a butterfly grabs on a flower. It’s stealing from the flower, but it is what the butterfly depends its life on.

“Enough is enough!” Scar suddenly pushes me, and I have to let go. My guess is Ava left.

I follow her push to give room between us, but not all the way. I search for her eyes and she dodges with frustration. Is it me or are her cheeks redder than a minute ago?

“If this is your way of trying to get rid of me for Ava then you are sourly-

“This is my way of saying that I have missed you,” I catch her chin before her machine–gun–like lips can finish the clip. Such luring lips, yet it only shoots bullets at my heart now, “I’m not here for Ava.”

“You just happen to pick her up outside of your office crying, and happen to drive all the way over on a busy work day, suddenly

remember that you wanted me home?” Scar narrows her eyes, starting another round.

All I want to do is to stop her nasty little bullets with my own lips. But that would push her too far.

“It’s like you have been there,” I curve my lips leisurely, going with her story.

“I see now,” Scar lets out a cold snort, nodding slowly, “This is your way of blackmailing another divorce out of me? Divorce or going home with you? Nice try! I told you you will have to beg me for that, and I’m not done with my revenge!”

“Your ‘revenge‘ is to send yourself to the lair of your enemies all alone, with kicking the hornet’s nest being your first move?” I click my tongue, frowning at the naive girl.

She has so many tricks waiting for me all the time, and when it comes to people who would really do her harm, her plan is just “attack“?

“None of your business!” Scar hisses at me, “I know what I’m doing!”

Even this I miss. Even the fights with her, are like treasure memories now. I hated fighting with her because she was as rebellious as it comes. She is not afraid to out her thoughts.

I never realized how clean and straight talking to her was, not until I have to think and suspect every word Ava says to me now.

“I know you think getting close to Jack is your only way to find out the

truth about your past. It’s not,” I sigh, “Let me help you. I have easier and less dangerous ways.”

I will never forget how happy she was when she married me. She was the first bride I knew that didn’t leave her parents‘ home in tears but with wild grins, telling me how she felt her whole world was brighter. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

But I put another dark cloud over her head, in the new home that she was so excited about for so long.

She wasn’t happy here. She was happier with me. I thought so for a long time. And in the end, I made her leave me so determinedly.

“What are you really after, Sebastian Knight?” Scar folds her arms in front of her chest, looking at me with cold eyes.

“I want to protect you,” I tell her, knowing my answer would only meet a disbelieving look. I deserve that.

“I want another chance with you, Mrs. Knight.”
