She really was arrogant and conceited. 1
In contrast, there was nothing special about Selene. She was much like ordinary flowers that blended into the background of sceneries.
The two silhouettes kept crossing Sebastian's mind. Sabrina, who was always surrounded by men. Yet, even though she was always with different men, Sabrina had admitted to him before that her motives were not impure. Yet, the image that remained in Sebastian's mind was that of a cold and aloof Sabrina, with her prideful gaze.
Sebastian imagined that was what she had looked like as she took away Kenton's manhood.
Another image he couldn't get rid of was that of Sabrina raising her arms to block the daggers meant for Nigel. The same scenes replayed over and over again in Sebastian’s mind.
And Selene?
Selene was the woman who saved his life and had his child. No matter how much he hated her, it was a responsibility that he needed to bear.
That afternoon, Sebastian remained at Grace’s grave for several hours, and only returned when night fell.
Sebastian had just finished up his work at the
company when he received a call from Selene. She was using that cutesy voice that Sebastian hated." Young Master, I’m about to go to the bridal shop to try out wedding dresses, are you free?”
However, the way Selene spoke seemed to carry accusing undertones with it.
That same morning, Selene had called the dress shop, as she didn’t really have anything else to do. She asked if the store had any new dresses in, and to notify her if there were. To her dismay, she was told b y the salesperson that they had already stocked new wedding gowns since yesterday afternoon, and that they had already informed Young Master Sebastian of it.
Selene was then told that Sebastian had ordered the salesperson to randomly pick out a gown for her. 1
This made her absolutely furious. So much so that she screamed at the employees at the shop, "Do you not want to be in business anymore?! You had the audacity to call my fiance and ask him about wedding dresses! He's a man, what would he know about wedding gowns?! Shouldn’t you have called me instead? Huh!"
"Yes yes, I'm sorry Miss Lynn, sorry! Sorry!" The employees at the store took care not to offend Sebastian’s fiance.
"All of you listen here! As long as it’s new stock from yesterday, even if you have already sold it or reserved i t for somebody else, recall it all back for me! Only when I've made my pick can the other women have the chance!" Selene shouted arrogantly. 1
There was another dress that looked very similar to this. It was the one that Sabrina wore during her fake wedding with Sebastian over two months ago.
Selene's heart twinged with jealousy. Her hands, in sync with her emotions, clenched themselves so tightly that the nails started to dig into her flesh.
However, on the outside, Selene pretended to smile before trying to cajole Sebastian again. "Young Master, seeing as we've already picked out a wedding dress, will we be signing our marriage certificate soon?”
Marriage certificate?
By law, if they were to sign that, Sebastian would need to complete his divorce first. He suddenly remembered that he still had not divorced Sabrina.
Three days later, Sabrina was discharged from the hospital and left in the morning. She had agreed to meet Sebastian at the city hall in the afternoon in order to formalise their divorce. 1
As she exited the city hall, Kingston, who stood outside waiting, handed a paper envelope over to Sabrina. "Miss Scott, here is your hundred thousand."
