There were several cigarette butts in the ashtray.

Spotting that, Sasha pinched her brows together. When did he start smoking again? Didn’t he quit for the sake of his health a long time ago?

Sasha felt her skin prickle uneasily.

“Sebastian, are you still angry about the incident involving Vivian? Don’t overthink it, all right? After all, Vivian is safe and sound,” Sasha said in an attempt to comfort him.

Just as she spoke, Sebastian clenched his jaw. Gritting his teeth in frustration, he spat, “It was mere luck that kept Vivian out of harm’s way.”

 

“Luck?” Sasha echoed in disbelief. “Even if Kurt hadn’t arrived, Karl could have been there to save her. Sebastian, stop trying to shoulder everything alone. It would have been impossible for anyone to have perfect control over the situation.”

Although Sasha initially planned to comfort Sebastian, her words had the opposite effect on him.

 

“I could have done it in the past,” Sebastian retorted heatedly.

His curt reply stunned Sasha into complete silence.

“Have you forgotten about the past? I was the one who had planned every step of our journey. From the Jadesons up until Eddie, not once did my plans go awry,” Sebastian uttered.

For a few minutes, Sasha could only stand there in silence. Although she opened her mouth to say something, nothing came out.

She felt an icy chill skate down her spine. What is he trying to imply?

The room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. Sasha felt her heart leap to her throat.
