She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 212

209

Sebastian’s POV

“Sebastian!” Ava stomps her feet when I carry Scar off the wagon, “How could you…?!”

“He was like this when he married me, too,” Scar smiles sweetly at Ava like the sweet sister we used to want her to be, “Don’t worry. What you feel right now? It’s how it supposed to feel like, being his wife.”

Scar’s words are like knives, piercing through Ava before they land on my heart.

I know Scar is using me, and I don’t mind. But when I feel her body stiff because of the physical contact with me, it still stings badly.

I wouldn’t want to force her with a hug, but I’m not going to say no when she offers.

“You are my sister!” Ava looks around, gathering people’s attention to play her angelic sister’s role, “I thought prison would change you into a better person, but I guess I was wrong…”

Her sorrowful tone is so genuine that anger soon crawls onto the people’s faces around us.

“No pictures!” I raise my hand at the guy who points his phone almost onto Scar’s face.

But Scar grins brightly at his camera, giving that guy a pause. She waves his shot to follow her as she jumps off me and goes to take Ava’s hand.

“I know I was!” Scar nods exaggeratedly with a big smile, as if she can’t see the judging looks from the crowd. With a friendly look, she says the most innocent words: “I was just joking with you. What I said was just what you said to me when I married him, don’t you remember, sis?”

Ava's eyes instantly dart in my direction, panic in her eyes.

Of course she did.

I never knew because the old Scarlett would never tell. Well, partly because we wouldn’t take her words against Ava. I would never see what a poisonous snake I kept by my side for all these years.

How could one hide her true self 24-7? I look at Ava, and I finally understand how Scarlett used to look at her with unbelievable eyes, mixed with despise.

“What a vicious lie…” Ava mumbles as if hurt to the core, staring at Scar with disbelief, “I have never said anything like that! I know you want Sebastian, but slandering my name is not the way to do it. I know you have always loved him, and if it’s anything else, I will let you have it. But love can’t be forced, and I—”

“Ohh, I’m glad you said that!” Scar raises her phone, ignoring Ava’s soulful speech as she wave it naughtily, “I have got a recording of it. Would you like to hear?”
