Chapter 431 It Turns Out to be Wishful Thinking
"It's cool, you don't gotta answer me right now," Sebastian said, trying to be chill when Seraphina didn't reply.
Seraphina took a deep breath, thinking she might be imagining things.
She always loved Sebastian?
And considering Sebastian stuck around even after she got hitched, knocked up, and had a miscarriage, why was she even hesitating?
Plus, Dashiell agreed to the divorce, so he probably didn't care about this marriage anymore.
She pressed her lips together and said, "Yes."
Sebastian's excitement was obvious. "For real, Seraphina?"
"I'll divorce Dashiell in a few days. After that, let's start dating again," Seraphina said.
"Okay," Sebastian agreed without a second thought.
"Alright, it's late. Get some sleep, okay?" Seraphina reminded him.
"Okay." Sebastian nodded.
"Promise me you won't lie to me," Seraphina said.
"Okay," Sebastian promised again.
"Goodnight. Bye."
"Bye."
After Seraphina hung up, Sebastian slowly called Penelope.
Penelope immediately asked, "So, is Seraphina getting back with Dashiell?"
She'd been having people keep tabs on Dashiell and Seraphina this whole time.
She was worried something might change with their divorce.
Tonight, when she heard Seraphina went to Dashiell's place, she freaked out and had Sebastian call her.
"No," Sebastian confirmed.
"Really?" Penelope let out a sigh of relief. She was really scared Dashiell couldn't let go of Seraphina. "Are you sure?"
"Seraphina said she'd divorce Dashiell in a few days and asked me to wait for her," Sebastian said straight up.
Penelope was happy but also pissed. She couldn't help but curse, "Seraphina is such a bitch. She hasn't even divorced Dashiell yet and she's already cheating. What a slut!"
"Penelope." Sebastian's tone shifted.
"Honestly, I think a woman like Seraphina doesn't deserve you. But at least, Seraphina is loaded, so you're not losing out," Penelope said.
"Enough," Sebastian said in a deep voice. "Instead of talking about others, why don't you think about how to win over Dashiell!"
"Dashiell is different from Seraphina. He would never cheat while still married. So I'll wait until he's officially divorced before making my move. Soon, Dashiell will be mine," Penelope said.
Sebastian was clearly not interested, "Enough! Let's cut this short."
Penelope didn't even say goodbye and just hung up rudely.
After putting down the phone, Sebastian was lost in thought.
He was thinking about how to keep things going with Seraphina if she got divorced.
Because, they couldn't have sex.
The more he thought about it, the darker his expression got.
After hanging up, Seraphina took a deep breath.
She felt a bit weighed down.
She couldn't pinpoint the moment facing Sebastian had become.
She turned and walked into Dashiell's room.
Dashiell's pants were still off, and she thought about helping him put them on before leaving.
As for that kiss just now, it was probably just because Dashiell was out of it.
After all, he was totally different from usual.
She wouldn't take an unconscious kiss to heart.
She grabbed the pajama pants from the bedside table, ready to put them on Dashiell.
Dashiell was lying there with his eyes shut, and Seraphina thought he was out cold again.
But as she got closer, she heard a cold voice, "Don't touch me!"
Seraphina jumped.
The sudden voice was creepy, and Dashiell was such an ungrateful jerk!
"Why are you yelling so loud!" Seraphina snapped. "I've been taking care of you all night, and you don't even say thanks. Instead, you throw a fit at me. Do you think I want to touch you? I'm disgusted. I almost puked when you kissed me just now!"
Dashiell, lying on the bed, clenched his fists.
His face was ice-cold.
Seraphina was fuming too.
When people are mad, they can't control their emotions and always say the nastiest things.
"Get out!" Dashiell's voice was cold and terrifying.
"Dashiell! Do you have any conscience at all? I've been taking care of you all night, and you treat me like this! Not only are you ungrateful, but you also shout at me! How can you be so mean!" Seraphina was really pissed.
What right did Dashiell have to tell her to get out!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
At that moment, Seraphina's eyes turned red.
She must have been crazy to really take care of Dashiell.
Seraphina looked at Dashiell with blurry eyes, seeing his cold face and his obvious unwillingness to say another word to her. In the end, she gritted her teeth and left.
She'd never treat Dashiell well again.
Seraphina slammed the door as she left.
The loud noise of the door slamming showed how mad she was.
At this moment, the person lying in the room turned his head to look at the door.
He had heard Seraphina's conversation with Sebastian.
Even though Seraphina was in the living room, she hadn't closed the door, so it wasn't soundproof. He didn't know what Sebastian had said on the other end, but he had heard Seraphina clearly.
She said she would divorce him in a few days and then start dating Sebastian.
While lying on the bed, during the time Seraphina went out to take the call, he had been silently gathering the courage to ask Seraphina to start over with him, but now he couldn't say it anymore.
He thought that Seraphina taking care of him was a sign that she had feelings for him, even if just a little.
He had been conscious the whole time she was taking care of him.
He was just pretending.
Because he was afraid that if he woke up, she would leave.
But all his pretense fell apart when Seraphina got close to his chest.
Seraphina's care tonight had really exceeded his expectations.
He really wanted to kiss Seraphina.
And then he acted on it.
And he didn't feel Seraphina resist.
Without her resistance, he became even more eager.
He even felt Seraphina respond.
He thought, he really thought that during this time of their marriage, Seraphina had developed feelings for him.
But it turned out to be just his wishful thinking.
She took care of him, maybe because she felt guilty, as Seraphina really wasn't a bad person.
Or maybe she couldn't resist Cecilia's request. Thinking about it, it was probably Cecilia who asked her to come.
Dashiell suddenly burst into laughter.
He laughed until tears welled up, realizing the folly of his wishful thinking.
