She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 217

“Oh my poor Scarlett…” Anna Fuller grips her chest with a hand as if her heart pains, her soulful eyes filled with tears glimmering, “You had a few rough years, I know…I wanted to look for you but…”

Good advice, but not for family.

Five years trapped in a dark hell, Scar finally realizes:
