Chapter 119

In the underground car park

Sebastian slid into the passenger seat of the Cullinan, bringing a blast of cold air with him. “Mate, everything’s sorted. Thalia accepted the bags and the car.

Asher’s long fingers rested on the steering wheel as his Adam’s apple bobbed. “Did she suspect anything?”

Sebastian answered honestly: “She did ask if your’d bought the car. I coordinated with Victoria to smooth it over. Thalia trusts Victoria completely, so she shouldn’t question it further.”

Asher responded with a heavy “Mim.”

For a while, Sebastian wasn’t sure what to say. Asher stared blankly into space, and the car was so quiet that the soft whoosh of the heating was clearly audible,

Sebastian knew Asher was thinking about Thalia again and tactfully remained silent, not wanting to disturb his thoughts.

After a long moment, Asher spoke: “I miss her so much.”

Sebastian: “…”

“Hang on.” Sebastian pulled out his phone. “Let me see what I can do.”

Sebastian called Victoria,

“Hello, Victoria. I just delivered the car to Thalia and she seemed rather down–like a deflated balloon, really. I think she’s still hurting inside. I’m worried she’ll make herself ill bottling it all up. Tomorrow’s Saturday and she’s not working–why don’t you take her out tonight, try to cheer her up?”

Victoria complained from the other end: “Well of course she’s not over it yet! She was completely smitten with Asher. How is it fair that she’s suffering while he’s gallivanting around with some actress like nothing happened? You men are such cold–hearted bastards!”

Sebastian instinctively glanced sideways at Asher.

He had visibly lost weight over the past few weeks.

There were dark circles under his eyes, clear evidence that he hadn’t been sleeping properly for several nights.

Sebastian knew exactly how deeply Asher loved Thalia. In all their years of friendship, he’d never seen Asher so devoted to a woman. This typically composed, self–controlled man was practically falling into depression over their breakup.
