Chapter 1
Upon Sebastian Jackman’s return to the country, Scarlett Sales, his secret lover, was promptly brought
to E Mansion
Before meeting him, she was to ensure that she was thoroughly washed and had no trace of perfume
or makeup.
After thoroughly washing herself, she changed into ice silk pajamas in accordance with his preferences
and ascended to the
second floor bedroom.
As the man sat at the computer, tending to his business, he glanced at her indifferently when she
entered the room.
“Come here”
His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.
Scarlett, fearful of his anger, hastened to walk in front of him without delay.
Before she could even stand still. Sebastian swiftly swept her into his arms, his slender fingers tenderly
pinching her chin.
Lowering his head, he kissed her red lips, pried open her teeth, and sucked in the fragrance of her
mouth in a crazed
manner.
Sebastian had always been reticent when it came to expressing himself to her. He was unsure of how
to show his affection. yet when he saw her, he could not help but do it immediately.
He looked noble and restrained, yet when it came to this matter, he showed no grace, being
domineering and fierce.
He had been away on a business trip abroad for three months and hadn’t had contact with a woman for
that entire time. Tonight, he was unlikely to let her go easily.
As expected, Sebastian was even more crazed than usual.
He pressed her waist and desired her repeatedly on both the sofa and bed.
Only when she had fallen asleep was the man satisfied.
When she awoke, the spot beside her was vacant, yet the sound of water was emanating from the
bathroom.
Following the sound, she saw his slender figure reflected in the frosted glass.
Scarlett was a little surprised. Every time he finished with her, he would leave without waiting for her to
wake up.
She strained her feeble body to sit up from the bed and silently waited for the man to emerge.
A few minutes later, the sound of water in the bathroom ceased abruptly. The man emerged, wrapped
in a bath towel.
Droplets of water from his hair cascaded down his honey–hued skin, tracing the contours of his toned
abdominal muscles. His physique was undeniably alluring.
His delicate and handsome face was as sharp as a knife, his indifferent and distant peach blossom
eyes deep and dark.
The man was beautiful, yet his cold aura deterred people from approaching him easily.
Sebastian saw that she had awoken, his cold gaze fixed upon her.
“In the future, you don’t have to come.
Scarlett was taken aback for an instant. What did he mean?
Sebastian retracted his gaze from her, turned around, took a document, and handed it to her, “This
contract is terminated in advance.”
Upon seeing the agreement, Scarlett finally comprehended that Sebastian desired to terminate their
relationship. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
He had not left immediately, not out of reluctance to part with her, but rather because he wanted to
break up with her.
She had been following him for five years, and while she had anticipated this day would eventually
arrive, she had not expected it to be like this.
There was no reason given, no further explanation, just a notification.
Suppressing the pain in her heart, she slowly raised her head to see Sebastian dressing
“The contract will expire in half a year. Can’t we wait a little longer?”
The doctor had informed her that she had only three months of life left, and she desired to spend as
much time with him as possible until her life ended.
Sebastian didn’t reply, his gaze cold and unwavering, as if he were shooing away a toy.
His silence caused her to become conscious of herself
Five years had gone by, yet her efforts to thaw his heart had been in vain. It was time for her to wake
up to reality.
“Don’t be so serious, I was just joking,” she said as she took the contract..
“I don’t want to be with you anymore. I am happy that the contract has been terminated.”
Pausing for a moment, Sebastian adjusted his sleeves and raised his cold eyes to meet Scarlett’s.
No sadness was visible on her face, as if a sense of relief had come over her.
He frowned slightly and asked lightly, “Are you happy?”
Scarlett pretended not to care and nodded. “Yeah, I’m not young anymore. It’s time for me to get
married and have children. I can’t always follow you like this, right?”
It was clearly impossible for her to marry and have children in this lifetime, yet she had to lie to
Sebastian.
Thinking of this, she smiled and asked Sebastian, “Since the contract has been terminated, can I have
a boyfriend in the future?”
Sebastian glanced at her, then reached for the watch on the bedside table and started to depart.
“Up to you.”
This was his parting statement before he departed.
Scarlett’s smile gradually diminished as she watched his back.
Sebastian showed no reaction when he heard her say she wanted a boyfriend.
It looked like…
He was really tired of her.
