She Accepted Divorce He Panicked (Scarlett and Sebastian) novel Chapter 225

“Who told you to call her Scar mama?” Sebastian asks, watching Scar carefully to not let her see them, but also not lose sight of Scar.

He didn’t know Scar was here, nor did he expect Alice to jump off the carousel when she saw him. He noticed that Lilith had taken Alice here, so he came.

“She IS Scar mama…” Alice answers in a wronged tone, confused.

“Does she know that I’m your papa?” Sebastian asks, knowing the answer —

Scar doesn’t. Or she would have put two and two together.

He needs to tell her, but he can’t. Not because of Silco.

As hard as he tried to look into that man, he couldn’t find anything too odd. The guy seems clean. Adam Smith. That’s the name Sebastian found. So ordinary a name that it’s almost boring. He even found out why he hates the Fullers — Jack Fuller’s precious little company, the one he kept carefully for so many years, he bought it from a “Smith” with the price of one dollar —

The kind of deal that always has a bloody story behind it.

As much as he doesn’t want to trust that man, he has to admit that there is nothing wrong about him. If anything, the hostility he feels only comes from the fact that he is the man Scar allows to be close to her.

He can’t tell Scar because he just found out about a glimpse of the past five dark years of hers—

Postpartum depression. A thing he never expected to be in his life, to happen on the one woman he cares about the most. He so wished it wasn’t the case when he finally found out about the truth of Scar’s mysterious transfer from a lawyer friend, but then Lilith confirmed it—

She said that Scar had contacted her, and that was when Scar’s condition had already looked up.

He let her suffer alone in the darkness for years, just like how she was trapped in those dark woods. Except this time he didn’t find her. She found her own way out, and it wasn’t an angel that came out of those woods this time.

He doesn’t know how he could heal Scar so he could return her daughter to her, but right now, he needs to return Alice, a friend’s daughter, to her first.

“Alice, I need you to do me a favor. It’s very important,” Sebastian holds Alice’s shoulder, looking into the eyes he’s so familiar with.

“Yes, papa?” Alice gives him a smile that is way more mature than her age.

“I can’t meet with your Scar mam right now. Do you think you could not tell her that you saw me here?”
