She’s Married, Sir (Scarlett and Sebastian)

Chapter 260

Sebastian sneered, his indiferent and distant peach blossom eyes full of self-mockery.

He stilled the oppressive pain in lus heart, litted the wine glass, and took another sip.

His seductively bobbing Adam’s apple rolled, swallowing all the pain as easily as he had swallowed the

wine

Sebastian drained his wine glass, stood up, and stumbled up the stairs, the alcohol unable to dull the

pain.

Gazing at the cold and distant back, Lance abruptly realized his grandfather was right: emotions could

ruin a person totally.

His second brother had been taught from a young age to not be emotional, yet he was the most

emotional one; in contrast, he was always dismissive of feelings.

Lance toyed with the wine glass and glanced at Leo, who was equally anxious. “My second brother

was aware that Miss Sales was still alive, yet he was still downcast. Did he go to seek her out to make

amends and get turned down?”

Leo averted his anxious gaze and nodded at Lance. It appears Miss Sales has been disappointed at

Mr. Jackman.”

He didn’t mean that Miss Sales had never loved Mr. Jackman, he always believed that she had

Whenever he went to fetch Miss Sales in the past, she had always invariably beamed

She would personally make soup for Mr. Jackman, knowing that his stomach was not feeling well, and

ask him to give it to him in secret

Whenever she was in the presence of Mr. Jackman, she had always been respectful and thoughtful.

Most of the time, the two had got along splendidly

Occasionally, Mr. Jackman would abruptly depart in a rage and then remain aloof toward Miss Sales for

an extended period.

For five years, the two had remained in this state of affairs.

When Mr. Jackman eventually decided to terminate the agreement. Miss Sales refused to accept any

compensation from him.

She did this solely to let Mr. Jackman know that she had been with him not for financial gain.

Upon seeing what Miss Sales had dropped in the mansion, Mr. Jackman, without showing any reaction

on the surface, had immediately asked him to let her retrieve it

He had wanted Miss Sales to come over, but she declined, so resolved that she erased all hus contact

details.

Mr. Jackman, in a state of panic, made several calls, only to confirm that she had indeed deleted the

past. Stunned, he had remained so for a long time. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Later, he mistakenly believed that Miss Sales had secured a new patron, and in his rage, not only had

he been unable to get her back, but he had also inadvertently caused her to leave.

Then, upon Dev’s arrival, Mr. Jackman was so overwhelmed that he went to extreme lengths to please

Miss Sales. Once Miss Sales and Mr. Jackman had clarified matters at the villa, Mr. Jackman had

intended to let Miss Sales go. Later, however, Mr. Jackman acted to safeguard Miss Sales, yet it

resulted in her premature death.

It was likely due to these occurrences that Miss Sales had abandoned hope in Mr Jackman.

When Mr. Jackman was angry in the past, he had told him of Miss Sales’ feelings, yet he did not

believe it.

It seemed fated for the two of them to have come to such a situation; Miss Sales was seemingly not

destined to belong to Mr. Jackman.

Lance snapped his fingers in front of his eyes, bringing his wandering thoughts back into focus. “Tell my

second brother,” he said, “since he’s been turned down, let her go. Don’t keep pushing her.”

Mr. Jackman, in his position of power, how could he lower his status again and agam for a woman by

demonstrating humility and respect

Leo revealed a helpless smile. “Even you can’t convince him, let alone me.”

Lance scoffed at him. ‘Anyway, I’ll leave this to you I don’t want to see Second Brother sink into

depravity.
