She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked by Nyx Rai

Scarlett's POV

Shivering in Sebastian's suit, Ava stumbles back into Jack Fuller's arms, along her side is Damian Vanderbilt. All three ignored me as they hinted at Sebastian to follow them. Coldness, sure, but none of them indicated any following up punishment for my "crime". This is the mildest "consequences" I have gotten from hurting Ava in years. I'm not used to it.

I follow them nervously, uncertain of where this is going. Finally when we reached the fancy gate of the house, Jack Fuller stopped in front of me, blocking my way. Ava shoots over a timid glance before she crawls into Damian Vanderbilt's arms, waiting. My sentence is here.

"Sebastian?" Ava murmurs, landing her hopeful eyes on him, "We are having dinner. Do you want to join us?"

Before Sebastian could answer, Jack Fuller frowns at her: "Get inside, Ava."

Ava flinches at her father's cold tone, then leaving with Damian Vanderbilt with a reluctant look. I glance in Sebastian's direction and he looks back. I dart my eyes away before I can see his eyes. I'm not too sure, but I seems to have heard a slight sigh from him. I'd understand it if he is mad at me.

He thinks Ava is the girl important to him, and I just threw her into a freezing lake in front of him. I need to tell him about Ava's lie. I need to tell him everything.

"Ava's birthday party is in two days," Jack Fuller says after Ava leaves, his tone heavy and low, "I hope you can come, at least this one time."
