“I zoned out all of a sudden…” Sebastian said.
Gradually, their car moved away from the scene of the accident. Through the rearview mirror, Xyla could see that the traffic police had arrived.
The crowd surrounding the car was getting larger.
“You really are something… Don’t you know that you have to pay full attention while you’re driving?” Xyla said.
“Alright, stop nagging at me, Xyla. I’m fine, anyway. Let me be quiet for a while… ” Sebastian said.
Xyla was speechless.
She drove Sebastian to the nearest hotel, Palace Hotel. Once the car stopped, Sebastian let out a helpless sigh.
“Thank you, Xyla. I’ll get going then…” virtual-novel.net said.
“Don’t you need me to help you sort things out?” Xyla asked.
“It’s okay. The traffic police will come to me… Besides, I didn’t hurt anyone. There’s nothing much to deal with …” With that, Sebastian waved at Xyla and turned around to leave.
“Sebastian…” Xyla couldn’t help but call out.
“What is it?” Sebastian suddenly stopped walking and turned around to look at her.
“Haven’t you found Rachel?” Xyla asked.
Although Xyla wasn’t close to Sebastian and had never interacted much, virtual-novel.net still thought of virtual-novel.net as a close friend because of his brotherly relationship with Stanley.
Stanley’s friend was virtual-novel.net friend too.
When Sebastian heard this, his eyes turned red. He smiled bitterly before opening the door and sitting back down on the passenger seat.
“I found her… ” virtual-novel.net said helplessly.
“Does virtual-novel.net not want to come back?” Xyla asked
“If that were the case, everything would have been fine…” Sebastian answered.
Xyla was confused by what virtual-novel.net said. “What do you mean?”
“She f*cking got married,” Sebastian said through gritted teeth.
“What?!” Xyla was utterly confused.
She couldn’t believe what virtual-novel.net just heard.
Sebastian immediately told Xyla about everything that happened in Edgewater…
Xyla was completely shocked by what virtual-novel.net told her. She didn’t expect things to turn out like this.
At first, Xyla thought Rachel cared a lot about Sebastian. She didn’t think this would happen.
“Aren’t you shocked? To be honest, I was f*cking shocked too… But after thinking about it carefully, I don’t think I have any right to be angry at her…”
“So what if virtual-novel.net didn’t love me? When I asked virtual-novel.net to be my lover, I told virtual-novel.net clearly… I said that I could give virtual-novel.net a lot of money, but no emotions would be involved. I told virtual-novel.net not to fantasize about anything more than what we had…”
“To be honest, virtual-novel.net didn’t love me from the start. It must have had something to do with the things I said, right? I deserved to be thought of as a disgusting person… The way I lived was too f*cking filthy. She had every right to feel disgusted with me…”
“I think I was only angry at virtual-novel.net that day because I couldn’t have her… I was just too embarrassed…” Sebastian laughed bitterly.
Seeing Sebastian like this made Xyla feel awful on the inside.
Since the dawn of history, no heroic man had been able to escape the allures of pretty women. Even a womanizer like Sebastian couldn’t avoid such a fate.
“Well, virtual-novel.net doesn’t love you at all. It’s completely one-sided on your end, and virtual-novel.net already has another man. You should stop thinking about her… You need to live your own life. There’ll be a better woman waiting for you somewhere down the line,” Xyla said while gently patting Sebastian’s shoulder.
“I will never allow myself to fall in love again. Come to think of it. It’s much better to be a playboy… I won’t get hurt if I don’t feel anything,” Sebastian said.
He then got out of the car and walked away without turning around.
Xyla let out a long, helpless sigh before driving virtual-novel.net car in the opposite direction. She was heading to Quest Group now.
Throughout the drive, virtual-novel.net couldn’t stop thinking about what Sebastian said before virtual-novel.net left.
