The Love that Never Really Dies

“What could I possibly be doing with my wife upstairs?”

Sabrina pressed her lips into a thin line.

Thousands of thoughts flashed past Sabrina’s mind, but in the end, she could only articulate a word in her mind. F*ck.

“Fine. I’ve led the guy here, so I’m going to leave now.” With that, she turned to leave again.

The guy?

Sebastian slowly turned to look outside. When he saw a tall figure clad in olive green in the garden, a sneer grew on his lips.

“Did he tell you that he’s here for me?”

“That’s right.”

Despite her swift answer, a trace of despair danced across her eyes.

Sebastian turned to look at her. As the look in his eyes darkened, he waved dismissively. “Go ahead. You don’t need to come over tonight.”

At that, Sabrina narrowed her eyes.

Although that was the result she wanted, she still could not help but feel worse after hearing his words.

In fact, a scowl even emerged on her face.

In the end, Sabrina left.
