Chapter 77
Wasn’t the engagement party canceled on its own? After two failed attempts, it was clear that she and Sebastian were never meant to be
Besides, in a few days, she would be leaving for another country. That would be the final step in cutting ties with him completely.
When Peter arrived at the private lounge, Sebastian was already downing one drink after another. His expression was dark and grim.
If it weren’t for Peter, no one else would dare to approach Sebastian right now. The suffocating tension around him was enough to freeze anyone in place. Peter grabbed a bottle of liquor from the bar, opened it, and took a seat next to Sebastian.
“This isn’t like you,” he remarked as he poured himself a drink. The second engagement party fell through. Are you actually upset about it?”
Right now, all of Valeria was buzzing about Sebastian and Roxanne’s second tailed engagement. The first one didn’t happen, and the second one didn’t happen
At this point, even fate seemed to be saying they weren’t meant to be, Sebastian didn’t respond and just kept drinking.
Peter raised a brow curiously, “I heard Liana was kidnapped, and you traded Roxanne to save her. Is that true?
Sebastian’s brows furrowed instantly, and he shot Peter a deathly glare. But Peter wasn’t the least bit intimidated. In fact, his curiosity only grew.
“Seriously, though. I really want to know–who do you care about more? Roxanne or Liana? Or is it that you want both?”
II Sebastian didn’t care about Roxanne, why was he in such a rush to arrange a second engagement party? But if he did care, why would he trade her to save Liana? If Liana mattered more, then why not just be with her?
Peder just couldn’t figure it out. Then again, thanking from a man’s perspective, he suddenly had a bit of clarity. Maybe Sebastian just wanted them both–a legitimate title for Roxanne and undivided affection for Liana.
Roxanne was someone with strong morals, so she would never agree to be a mistress. But Liana? She was more than willing to be one for love.
A powerful, exceptional man with two women vying for his affection–wasn’t that the ultimate ego boost? Was that what Sebastian was after?
Expressionless, Sebastian raised its glass and took another drink. “I don’t like Liana”
Peter arched his brow. “From the way you said that, are you saying you like Roxanne?
It made sense. If he didn’t, why would he make her his girlfriend? Why would he propose? And Sebastian hated manipulation and betrayal more than anything Yet when Rosanne drugged him back then, he never cody held it against her. Maybe he did have feelings for her after all?
got a problem on your hands. If you care about her, how could you let her
Feter palled Sebastian’s shoulder and said sincerely, “It you really like Roxanne, you gutunugh so much suffering? You know exactly how people in Valoria mock and ridicule her
“And now, you even used her to trade Llana’s safely. Your actions don’t look like those of a man who loves and cherishes someone.”
In Valoria’s social cicle, everyone lived for status and reputation. Everyone lud sharp eyes. If Sebastian truly valued Roxane, no one would dare to mock her, But who wasn’t snerting at Roxanne? And Liapa? She was known as the “Princess of Valoria“,
Whase princess? Sebastian’s Wherever Liana went, she was pampered and protected, site by side, the difference was stack Roxanne had been completely overs ludowed and cast aside
