The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 199
Chapter 199: Truth Revealed
Raphael was extremely narcissistic and playful, making her laugh uncontrollably. However, an idealist like him would often live in his world, and he would always be careless with women he didn’t care about. He had many tricks up his sleeves, making him the perfect mediator in a small group.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was different. Although he wasn’t grown up then, he was already an iconic handsome man. But he didn’t care about his looks at all. Instead, he always put his energy into studying numbers and finance. In this regard, the two had more in common. During their time together, he often spent time on some details, although he still looked cold on the surface.
That night, she was the one who forced Sebastian to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise. Ellie knew that Sebastian had always been interested in her and considered Sebastian her best friend or brother.
Watching the sunrise was purely because she felt that Sebastian’s feelings for her were becoming increasingly apparent, and she needed to find a time to explain it to him. She knew that climbing the hill was the last thing Raphael wanted to do, which was at night.
If Ellie had known that there would be an accident that night, she would never have chosen such an inappropriate time and place.
The Harris couple had just come to have a quick dinner with Ellie, and they were already complaining about how big the world was and that they needed to spend some time alone and continue their journey. So the couple quickly booked themselves into a presidential suite near the airport and held hands as they entered the private car Ellie had chartered for them.
Sebastian noticed that the couple on the street couldn’t help but gasp in awe when they saw the old couple holding hands. The man tightened his hand that was initially hanging loosely on the woman’s shoulder. These days, he was far from Sophia, making him feel empty in his heart.
“I know that you like that girl named Sophia very much. You should go back tomorrow, but you must hurry up, understand?” Ellie patted Sebastian’s shoulder. He was stronger than before, but he was still so slow when it came to pursuing girls.
“Huh?” He was absent-minded earlier.
When one thought about someone, they would often be absent-minded. This was what Raphael told him the last time when he sat in his office and refused to leave. He didn’t notice he was absent-minded, but at that moment, he wanted Raphael to leave quickly.
“I said, you must hurry up. I could already tell when I went to your company to look for you the other day. With that look in your eyes, wasn’t that the same as when you looked at me back then? No, no, it’s not the same either. You’re more invested in her. I don’t know. I just know that our friendship of twenty years isn’t for nothing. ”
“Really? Is it that obvious?” Sebastian seemed to be talking to himself instead of asking a question. Sophia said, “Bro, why do you always use a question in every sentence? Don’t you know that this is very impolite?” Back then, Sophia had just gotten pregnant and had not started her internship. She was still carefree. At most, she was still a child.
He did not expect that he would change according to her expectations. Unknowingly, he had not realized it.
“Back then, I was only concerned about myself and did not mention it to you. But after I asked around, I knew your attitude toward her and why you were so distant. When you are angry with someone, you are always like that.” Ellie exposed her good friend’s situation.
Angry? Was he angry at Sophia? Sebastian knew that he had a tacit understanding of Ellie. She was always able to see through him at a glance. She could see through him in the past and still could now. Or perhaps, it was because he was too obvious this time? Otherwise, how did even that idiot, Raphael, see through him?
Seeing that Sebastian didn’t refute, Ellie continued, “I remember a senior who was pursuing me. I didn’t even like him, but the cake he bought was so delicious I couldn’t resist it. However, you saw the love letter I threw in the trash, and you sulked for two days, refusing to look at me in the eye. I made a special inquiry, and you mentioned that your current imaginary enemy is Phillips, right? You are bothered by his presence. But, just so you know, Sophia turned him down.” Ellie already knew everything; she always had her ways.
“What did you say? But I saw…” Sebastian did not continue.
“You saw the two hug each other, right?” Ellie guessed.
Sebastian was silent. He clenched his fists. He admitted that he was outraged when he saw them hugging. He had wanted to go up to them to push them away, but he didn’t do that. He didn’t know where he stood in her heart then.
Ellie told Sebastian what she found it. It was a gift to her old friend. She thought Sebastian deserved to feel love, and she knew he’d always wanted one..
