Chapter 89 How Could Sebastian Feel Sorry for Her?!
Brooklyn was surprised by how Zach stood up for her, but Zach clearly didn't understand the situation or the twisted relationship between her and Sebastian.
Noticing the subtle change in Sebastian's expression just now, Brooklyn visibly softened, leaving Zach with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Sebastian embraced Brooklyn as if she were a precious treasure, his arms tightening around her so forcefully that it made her shoulders ache. But Brooklyn remained silent, even pausing her earlier attempts to struggle.
Even if he was just putting on a show in front of Zach, she wanted to hear the echo of her heartbeat in his arms one last time.
Brooklyn thought, 'Am I being despicable in this way?'
For now, she admitted that she wanted to stay by his side, even if it meant debasing herself.
"Just mind your own business," Sebastian coldly stated. While Zach's words earlier were indeed insightful and enough to leave him speechless, Sebastian never showed weakness in front of others.
Not giving Zach a chance to intervene again, he held Brooklyn close and walked towards the car without hesitation. His steps were firm, driven by a mix of anger and complex emotions, and she could almost hear his heart beating faster.
She wondered, 'Could Sebastian's heart also beat faster?'
She couldn't believe it. In her memory, Sebastian was always so cold and composed, able to remain unfazed in any situation. She even thought that if an earthquake were to happen, Sebastian would calmly watch the buildings collapse while sipping his coffee.
How could a man like that have a racing heart?
As Brooklyn turned her head from his embrace to look at Zach behind her, her eyes conveyed gratitude, although they seemed more like a plea for help.
Zach smiled gently, using his gaze to reassure her that if Sebastian mistreated her, he would intervene.
Brooklyn imagined his gaze and almost chuckled bitterly.
Lost in her random thoughts, she suddenly felt weightless under her feet!
Looking up in astonishment, she met Sebastian's inscrutable eyes, and before she knew it, he had scooped her up in his arms!
Sebastian felt a surge of anger! How could she still look back longingly at a time like this? She didn't even know how to restrain herself in his presence!
Seeing her action, he decided to pick her up directly, cutting off the lingering thoughts between Zach and her.
She gazed into his eyes in a daze and finally managed to speak, "Sebastian, what are you doing?"
Sebastian kept his gaze forward without looking at her, "Your current identity is my wife. What do you think I'm doing?"
A sense of untimely joy welled up in Brooklyn's heart. Her cheeks flushed slightly at being scolded, and she almost forgot that she could blush.
She pondered, 'so, did Sebastian's sudden princess carry imply an acknowledgment of their relationship? But why was his embrace warm while his expression remained cold?'
He took a few steps to the front of the car, unlocked it with a click, temporarily set her down, expertly opened the car door with one hand, and then picked her up again.
With a swift motion, he tossed her into the car!
He threw her onto the passenger seat as if she were trash, devoid of the tenderness from before!
His expression and actions changed too quickly for her to react, leaving her stunned!
"What's the meaning of this, Sebastian!" Brooklyn's back hit the seat, causing her to gasp in pain. Sebastian circled around to the driver's side, forcefully sat down, closed the door, and the narrow space became a battlefield between the two of them.
Sebastian locked eyes with her coldly, "What do I mean? You and him, do you think you don't need to explain anything to me?"
A chill ran down Brooklyn's spine. The warmth from earlier turned into icy frost in an instant. He had never trusted her from the beginning. Even his embrace was deliberate - a form of retaliation!
Her heart shattered into pieces under his feet. More cynically, she was cheated by his pretense just now. How could Sebastian feel sorry for her?!
"I have nothing to explain," Brooklyn replied.
Since he didn't believe her, why bother explaining?
He inserted the key, started the car frantically, and sped off like a gust of wind!
Zach, who was standing still, was left far behind, the gentle smile disappearing from his refined and warm face.
Zach realized that she was not living happily.
Across the street, Quinn's car was parked quietly. He watched as the Rolls-Royce disappeared around the corner. His hands clenched the steering wheel tightly, his frustration evident.
The car was heading towards Bayside Villas, and as Brooklyn looked at the road signs, a sense of unease crept into her heart. "Sebastian, the show is over. Stop the car and let me out!"
