She’s Married, Sir (Scarlett and Sebastian)
Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Dev had already sensed it before, but he hadn't anticipated that she would confess it.

Because she no longer loved him, she was indifferent to his feelings.

He had been gone for five years without any news, so it was understandable that she had fallen in love with someone else.

Despite this, the experience was still overwhelming and heartbreaking for him.

He winced, covering his chest with discomfort and bent down.

Inhaling heavily, he desperately sought to breathe, yet he felt suffocated.

The suffocating sensation clung to his heart, trapping him and preventing him from escaping.

It was hard to tell whether tears or sweat had streamed down his forehead.

At the end, he could only mutter, "What am I supposed to do now?"

What should he do?

He had been devoted to Scarlett since they were young.

Yet she had fallen in love with Sebastian, so what was he supposed to do?

Upon seeing him in this state, Scarlett felt a pang of guilt. I'm sorry..."

"I don't want your apology. I want you, Scarlett. Please stop loving him. Please start over and love me again?" Dev looked up and saw Scarlett's guilty face reflected in his scarlet eyes.

He stepped forward to take Scarlett's icy hand in his own. "I promise to take care of you from now on. I won't let anything hurt you. Let's go back to the way things were when we were in college, and live without a care, alright?"

"Liam." Scarlett shook her head, "we can't return to the past..."

"Are you tricking me? If you really care for Sebastian, you wouldn't have spoken to him so harshly just now. You don't have any love for him. You're deceiving me like this because you're still harboring a grudge against me... Dev muttered in disbelief.

"I said those cruel words because he doesn't love me."

Scarlett interjected Dev very serenely. "He bought me because I resemble Miss Scarlee. I'm merely a stand-in. Now that Miss Scarlee has returned, he's going to wed her shortly. I can only end things with him."

Besides, she was about to die and didn't want Sebastian to see her in her miserable state, as she was too ugly.

Even though she was dying, she wanted to leave a lasting impression on Sebastian. When he found out in the future....

He would only remember her delicate and beautiful face in the future, not the one that was unrecognizable.

Dev glanced at her and gave a sad smile.

If she was only a substitute, why did he touch her after Scarlee returned?

In front of him, Sebastian was clearly asserting his sovereignty.

Sebastian had probably never revealed his feelings to her, so she was unaware of the intense possessive longing that lay in his

gaze.

But Scarlett, still fell in love even though she knew the other person didn't love her back. Dev could not fathom the depths of her love.

His heart felt as if it were being pierced by a needle, causing his entire body to ache, yet he was powerless to do anything for Scarlett. "Scarlett, he doesn't love you," he said, holding her hand with trembled fingers, "so can you let him go and start anew with me?"

He was aware that Sebastian had feelings for Scarlett, yet he was selfishly withholding this information from her, only wanting her to return to him.

He couldn't remember when he started to fall in love with Scarlett. He had been in love with her for as long as he remembered.

How could he let go of the one he had loved for half his life!

However, Scarlett pushed his hand away.

Liam, even if you don't feel repulsed by me, we can't start over

Liam was the man she had once loved, and she didn't want him to witness her misery before

Once everything was severed, Liam would no longer be ensnared and she could depart this world without any apprehension.
