“It’s not about whether I want to go back, but…” Sasha was fuming when she came to a realization. Even her fingers were trembling.
“Why do you want to return to Avenport?” she asked with a quivering voice; her eyes reddened.
Sebastian’s heart skipped a bit, and he quickly raised his head.
When he was about to explain himself, he saw tears streaming down Sasha’s cheeks.
“Have you regained your consciousness a long time ago? Have you been lying to me all along?”
“No…”
“Sebastian, you jerk! Have you been lying to me all along? Did you know how much I wished for you to regain your consciousness? Do you have any idea how much effort I’ve put in just to make you recover? How could you lie to me?”
Sasha was on the brink of a mental breakdown.
She had pulled herself through such agonizing times and worked so hard, yet Sebastian had chosen to hide it from her after regaining his consciousness, tormenting her even further.
Sasha spun around and ran away.
“Darling…”
Sebastian, who had always been pretending to be calm, finally panicked. He tossed his book aside and chased after her.
However, Sasha ran really quickly. When he rushed out of the bedroom, she took the stairs and was already on the second floor. Even from a floor apart, he could hear her sobs.
The housemaids downstairs were gossiping about it. “What happened? Did Mr. Jadeson fight with Mrs. Jadeson again?”
“No way! Mr. Jadeson has already recovered. Why would he still argue with her?”
“Why is she crying then? I’ve never seen her cry so sadly before. Didn’t you hear her sobs? It’ll be bad if she attracts Old Mr. Jadeson’s attention.”
Even the housemaids can tell that I’ve recovered. Only that woman is still completely oblivious and she’s even blaming me for not telling her!
The veins on Sebastian’s forehead throbbed.
But what can I do about it? She’s my wife. I have to coax her no matter what. Anyway, everything she says is right. Even if it’s not, it’s all my fault!
Sebastian chased after her.
Sure enough, when he reached the first floor, Jonathan came out, having heard the commotion. He was standing in front of Sasha, who was crying her heart out.
“What happened? Why are you crying like that?”
Sasha continued sobbing.
It was the first time she had lost her composure in front of Jonathan.
However, she was so sad that she could not control herself at all.
“He… He lied to me.”
“He lied to you? What did he lie to you about? Tell me! I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”
Perhaps because of what Sebastian said in the afternoon about leaving for Avenport, Jonathan was still furious. He was all prepared to deal with Sebastian.
Sebastian clenched his fists.
Without saying anything, he suddenly walked over and carried Sasha with his muscular arms.
“Ah!”
“Wow!”
Sasha screamed.
At the same time, the people watching them exclaimed in shock.
This is amazing!
Is it appropriate for them to do this? There are so many people here! How can they act so lovey-dovey in front of all of us?
Truth be told, Sebastian could not be bothered by any of them. Picking Sasha up, he said to Jonathan expressionlessly, “What happens between us is none of your business.”
With that, he strode away with Sasha in his arms.
Jonathan was so furious that he stomped his feet on the ground.
“That b*stard, he… He…”
“Yes, he’s too outrageous. He’s crossed the line! Calm down, Old Mr. Jadeson. Let’s ignore him and have a cup of coffee instead.”
Mark had to drag Jonathan away forcefully.
Meanwhile, Sebastian carried Sasha upstairs and ignored her struggles. He closed the bedroom door behind him, tossed her onto the bed, and pinned his body against hers.
“Mmm… You jerk…”
“Yeah, I’m a jerk. But I didn’t do it on purpose! Alfred’s men came that night when I regained consciousness. I had no choice but to play along with their plan. I wanted to avenge Calvin and save the Jadesons. I had no choice, Darling.”
Pinning her to the bed, he stared at her. His eyes were brimming with guilt and agony.
Sasha was stunned.
Is he talking about how he went crazy after being sabotaged at the military base? So he has already recovered back then!
“Did you know? When I saw you collapse in front of my hospital ward in the mental hospital and vomit blood, I really went crazy. All I wanted to do was barge out and bring you away. I wanted to cast everything aside and leave this hellish place. Did you know, Darling?” he started explaining himself.
For once, he could finally let out of all these emotions that had been buried deep within his heart. Hugging her head, he lowered his body and buried his face against her neck.
She could feel his warm tears rolling down her neck.
Sasha hugged him even tighter.
