Remorse After Breaking Up



Lillian rolled her eyes. "When will you stop boasting? Although you're good at fighting, you're far from the Supreme One. Besides, the Supreme One not only excels in combat but also founded Phoenix Corporation. You're just a small security guard in Phoenix Corporation.

"I know. Did you steal this?" Lillian's face turned pale.

"Sebastian, you have some nerve for stealing from the Supreme One. Do you want to get yourself killed?"

Lillian shoved the Seraphic Tear Pendant necklace into Sebastian's hand. "You'd better find a way to return it, or else no one can save you if you're caught!"

"What are you talking about? How could I steal anything?" Sebastian was speechless.

"In that case, how do you explain this? Are you going to tell me that the Supreme One gave it to you?"

Lillian felt ridiculous even as she said it. Andrew had said that the Seraphic Tear Pendant necklace was the Supreme Token, and the Supreme One always kept it with him.

Even if he were to give it away, it would be to someone very close to him. How could he possibly give it to a mere security guard?

"To tell you the truth, this Seraphic Tear Pendant necklace is just a fake, a replica," Sebastian confessed.

"So it's a replica. I knew it was impossible to steal something from the Supreme One. After all, you can hardly even see that old man, being just a security guard," Lillian said.

Sebastian was speechless. He couldn't believe he was being called an "old man" at such a young age. Who spread such rumors?

"This isn't good."

Lillian was relieved for a moment, but then she remembered something Andrew had said. " Andrew thinks I'm Supreme One's woman, and he chopped off his hand because of it. If he finds out I'm an impostor, I'm done for."

"He won't. He wouldn't dare say anything. Bullying the Supreme One's woman is a capital offense. Even if he chopped off his hand, it wouldn't matter. So, don't worry. As long as the Supreme One doesn't say anything, he'll never know.

"Secrets won't stay hidden forever. Eventually, this will all come to light." Lillian looked worried.

"As long as the Supreme One doesn't speak up, Andrew will never find out. Besides, the Supreme One wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. You don't have to worry. Just keep wearing this replica. If you stop wearing it, it might raise suspicions with Andrew,"

Sebastian reassured her.

"You're right. I'll take it one step at a time." Lillian thought through it. It was a blessing in disguise.

About half an hour later, the doorbell rang.

Lillian went to open the door and found her father standing there.

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Lillian was surprised.

Ronan looked a bit awkward. "Lillian, your grandfather has calmed down. I'm here to take you home."Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Lillian turned around to look at Sebastian in surprise. He had guessed it right.

But she was happy nonetheless. Just as she was about to agree to Ronan's request, Sebastian stopped her. He looked at Ronan and said, "When you kicked Lillian out, you showed no mercy. But now, with just a word, you want her back. Do you think it's that easy?"

"I'm talking to my daughter. It's none of your business!" Ronan snapped.

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Leave, please!"

Following that, Sebastian slammed the door shut.

"Sebastian, what are you doing?" Lillian was angry. She reached for the doorknob.

Sebastian hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Lillian, can't you have some self-respect? When did they ever treat you like family? And have you forgotten how Lyra treated you? They want you back only because they need something from you. Listen to me. If they don't apologize, you must not go back!"

Lillian slowly released her grip on the doorknob because she thought what Sebastian said made sense. Compromising and giving in blindly wouldn't earn anyone's sympathy. It would only make things worse. It was time for her to be firm.

Meanwhile, Ronan, who was locked outside, was furious. But remembering his purpose for this visit, he suppressed his anger and rang the doorbell again.

Sebastian opened the door. Before Ronan could speak, he said, "I have to warn you to speak properly. Otherwise, I won't open the door for you next time."

Even though Sebastian was his son-in-law, he dared to speak to him in such a tone. Ronan was furious.

Still, he managed to control his anger and looked at Lillian, saying, "Lillian, come home with me. Don't you want me and your mother anymore?"

Lillian looked at Sebastian. She wanted to go back, but she also felt aggrieved. She didn't know what to do, so she turned to Sebastian for help.

Sebastian sneered, "Lillian isn't your servant to be summoned at your whim. If you want her to go back, then all of you need to come and apologize to her."

"Sebastian, you're going too far." Ronan's anger flared up again. He was fuming with rage. "I've stated the conditions. You figure it out yourself," Sebastian said coldly. Ronan knew he couldn't reason with Sebastian. Thus, he turned to Lillian and said, "Lillian, this is my final offer. Come back with me now and we'll forget everything that happened before. But if you choose not to come with me, then don't ever think about coming back!"

Ronan resorted to direct threats. He couldn't lower his dignity.

Besides, he knew Lillian well. He was sure she would cave in.

"I'll listen to Sebastian," Lillian said.

"Daughters who are married are as good as gone. It seems this saying is true. You've known him for such a short time, yet you're willing to forsake your parents because of him. Fine. Suit yourself. Then don't ever come back,"

Ronan left after that. However, this was also part of his plan.

He was certain Lillian would back down and stop him.

In fact, Lillian was about to call him, but Sebastian stopped her. "Trust me. They'll apologize to you. If you don't believe me, let's make another bet."

"What do you want to bet on this time?" Lillian asked warily.

"If I win, you have to bear me a child! But before that, let's fulfill the previous bet,"

Sebastian gave a mischievous grin. Before Lillian could react, he grabbed her and kissed her soft lips.
