Chapter 56

056 Adrian's Lie Scarlett's POV

I turn to Adrian Dunn, and instantly Sebastian hastes: "Don't go with him, please!"

"I'm sorry I forced your hand five years ago," Magically, I find myself able to talk to him with peace now, "But we both know you couldn't have married Ava back then. even if I didn't. So, call it even? Now that Ava is cured, and Granny has given her the approval, too. You can ahead and do what you want this time. Just..."

I feel bad not telling him the truth, but I don't want him to know about the mistake now. It would only drag on the tie between us that I no longer want, and it would ruin my only good memory of him.

"Just, make sure this time it's what you want...please."

I suddenly understood what Granny meant when she said she could only save him. once. I could only save him once. He tries to marry Ava this time, I won't be there to speak up".

If Sebastian was going to say anything at all, he wouldn't now, not with Adrian. Dunn's presence. He raises the folder slowly, reluctance written in all his moves. I wait till he could make it to me before I take it lightly. I knew how deeply he hurt me when he showed his hasty same thing. I don't want to do that to him, or anyone.

The sunset's crimson glow dashes past me and crushes into Sebastian's face like flows of blood, making him narrow his eyes. Our story started at a cold twilight, so it's only fair that it's now ending at dusk quieting down.
