She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

030 A Light Thing

Sebastian's POV

"Why? Did something go wrong with Ava?" Scar frowns with a shrug, folding her arms.

She is not even trying to be sarcastic, and that's the most sarcastic.

I thought my words would make her happy, like before, I know she is really hurt this time, but I thought her eyes would light up with sparkles even though she would try to maintain a cold face to fish for more comforting words from me, like before. But there is none.

I never knew her watery purple eyes could be so cold like dry ice. It stings to look at her eyes like that. You really want a divorce? I dare not ask. She would only say yes, even just to hurt me.

My mind has been in turmoil since Adrian messed it up. I can't imagine Scar asking for a divorce for real, but she hasn't been home for almost a week now, and she is not planning to any time soon. I'm not used to this. The whole house feels different now. It's no longer a home. Just a house.

I used to think it was silly for her to stay up for me when I got home late. I thought she was just trying to curry favor with me by that, and I didn't like being manipulated. But now she is no longer there, and I don't even know when I got used to her being there. Nights feel empty now.
