Chapter 3
But how could a normal person not want to know who is harming themselves?
Unless she already knew who that person was
Something quickly flashed through my mind, so I immediately called my mom.
“Mom, I wanted you to help me check the surveillance footage.”
After that day, I completely resumed my previous life
Eating and drinking, going shopping abroad with my sisters.
The time for going home, however, visibly became later.
Just as I opened the door that day, a pitch–black figure stood startlingly in my bedroom.
I was so scared that I almost screamed, but when I turned on the light, I realized it was Sebastian.
Sebastian had a serious expression on his face, with his eyebrows furrowed tightly enough to crush a mosquito.
“Why did you come back so late?

I yawned and casually asked, “Is there someth
Sebastian’s face darkened, and he was about to say something when his gaze suddenly got caught on the clothes I was wearing. “Whose coat were y
were you wearing!”
As soon as the words fell, he immediately ripped off his suit.
Sebastian’s face tightened, and he let out a cold laugh.
“Stephany, we were still officially boyfriend and girlfriend, and I hoped you would be more restrained.”
an into my brother’s friend, Zayden Campbell.
1 looked down at the clothes on the ground. It was when I was having dinner at the restaurant that I ran
He saw that I was dressed Lightly and immediately draped his coat over my shoulders, without any hesitation throughout the whole process. Even if there was, what does it matter?
Sosing my cold expression, Sebastian misunderstood.
He stared at me, with a playful tone, and said, “You don’t regret it, do you? Regretting the marriage, so you played the game of resisting but still welcoming”
Sebastian’s expression was triumphant, and his originally dark face suddenly came alive in a strange way.
“Why do you love to act so much? Do you still want me to control you like before? Dream on!”
In the end, he suddenly stopped and looked at my face.
Arrogantly, he said, “Actually, I can understand it However, I will still take care of Nathalie, she-
f you regret it. I will pretend that I didn’t hear your words, and we will still get married as planned.
Originally, drinking alcohol would give me a headache, but now listening to his inexplicable rambling is making me feel dizzy.
So I impatiently interrupted laim and said directly, “I didn’t regret, nor did I have the reluctant acceptance you imagined.”
Alter saying this sentence, I picked up the suit from the ground and carefully brushed off the dust on it
I saw Sebastian, who was stiff like a sculpture, beside him and impatiently said, “Do you still have something to do? II not, just leave.”
A flash of embarrassment crossed Sebastian’s face as he looked at me incredulously.
I’m not sure if it was anger or physical pain, but his whole body was trembling. Suddenly, his gaze fell upon the plaster doll on my bedside.
That was when I was eighteen years old, and I dragged him to the flea market with me.
casually threw away the six–digit music box, and I wasn’t surprised by the seven–digit jewelry necklace.
But these twenty–dollar plaster dolls, I always kept them closest to ine, accompanying me to sleep every night.
Sebastian peculiarly regained his calmness, he curled up the corners of his lips, with a face that seemed to have the victory in his hands
“Suphany, say whatever you want, it doesn’t matter.”
“I just wanted to tell you that tomorrow is Nathalie’s birthday and her friends are coming to celebrate. It would be best if you don’t cause any trouble.”
1 nodded perfunctorily, just wanting him to leave my room.
Just at that moment, a shot and gentle cry suddenly rang out.
“Sebastian, were you busy!”
Nathalie nervously watched us, as if she was afraid I would take Sebastian away.
Sebastian’s face looked a hit unnatural as the walked over and took her hand
“It’s okay, let’s go back”
In a moment, Nathalie saw the pair of dolls on the bedside, and a flash of jealousy passed through her eyes.
I posted this pair of dolls on Instagram a few years ago, and Nathalie even lil
lilced it.
She stopped in her tracks and timidly spoke, “Can i have one? As a birthday gift for tomorrow.”
Sebastian looked a bit hesitant, as if he wanted to say something.
