Chapter 208 Cared Too Much

A touch of melancholy crept into her heart.

After all this time, all my efforts, it seems I’ve still failed to earn his trust…

Indeed, Sebastian’s suspicions were not completely unfounded. Madelyn herself recognized that she had drastically changed in a remarkably short period.

As the saying goes, “A leopard can’t change its spots.” Yet, she had changed, as drastically as if she had exchanged her soul for another’s.

It’s almost laughable. They say old habits die hard, yet here I am, transformed overnight. Surely, anyone would find that hard to believe?

Furthermore, for a long time in the past, Madelyn had behaved reprehensibly, almost as if she despised Sebastian, tormenting him daily, using Christopher to provoke him repeatedly.

No wonder Sebastian is wary of me now, isn’t it?

With these reflections, Madelyn felt a strange peace settle in her heart.

And so, she responded, trying to clear the air, “Sebastian, there’s no need for you to question my identity. I am indeed Madelyn.”

“No, you’re not her,” Sebastian countered sharply. Then, unexpectedly, he let out à cryptic, cold laugh. “The Madelyn I knew was always a headstrong, pampered young heiress. Though unruly and willful, she was incredibly endearing. Despite sometimes failing to distinguish right from wrong, she had a heart of gold.”

His cold laughter filled the room again. “Such an innocent girl… She wouldn’t know the first thing about Oceanic Empire, Morgana, let alone Grimo, the arms tycoon of Rodunst’s Nocturn Creed. But you? You’re different. You carry so many secrets that I can’t even begin to guess.”

Hearing this, Madelyn could distinctly see the deep disappointment in his eyes. She had seen that look before, only previously when she had suggested they should end their engagement.

Seeing that look now made her heart sink further.

She knew all along, with Sebastian’s keen intelligence, how could he not suspect the truth? He had simply chosen not to confront it until now.

this moment, he seemed determined to strip away all her masks, leaving Madelyn feeling utterly exposed and
