036 His Invitation

Scarlett's POV

"Mr. Dunn, I'm so sorry!" I turn to Adrian Dunn with my heart in my throat and my head dizzy at Sebastian's provoking words.

Did they always talk like this? Cause that's easier to believe than thinking that Sebastian came on so aggressively because of me.

"Why are you apologizing for him?" Adrian does not play by the rules, at all.

"In case you forgot, she's my wife!" Sebastian answers so fast as if he has been waiting a chance to declare that.

"I'm NOT!" I snap at him, before taking a deep breath and turning back to Adrian Dunn," Anyways, I'm sorry for the role I played in this, if any..."

"No need to apologize." The smile is back on Adrian's face. His eyes land on Sebastian but he continues to speak to me saying, "I don't consider you two a couple anymore, so. No reason to hold you responsible for anything HE does." Sebastian looks like he wants to bury Adrian Dunn alive.

With what seems like tremendous effort, he shifts his glare from Adrian Dunn to me: "Can we talk?"

I could barely expect him to say that to me when we were married, and ever since I wanted him out of my life, this seems to be his new favorite opening.
