All Chapters of She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Scarlett’s POVThis time he pays attention: “You asked me to marry you--”I raise my hand again. This time he catches me before I could slap him: “Enough is enough, Scarlett Fuller! What are you trying to say!”“The deal, was that I give Ava all the blood and bone marrow and any other parts that she wants from me,” I look right into his eyes, speaking as my throat hurts like a knife is cutting in, “and you, my secret crush for years, will give me a chance to win your heart.”“You are the one who came to me with a proposal, Sebastian Knight. Remember?!” I finally said it, and my tears poured out as I finished my condemn with a broken voice, “You are the one who didn’t deliver the deal!”His eyes open wide in shock, and he stumbles back two steps with a disbelieving face.“I--” He stumbles on his words, too, “I thought that’s what you wanted...”“You knew I was in love with you, and you KNEW, that you could just slap me with a marriage on paper and still get my end of the deal,” I say

Scarlett’s POV“Sorry!” I blurt, taking my eyes off his table, even more nervous, “It’s just...I mean...”I can feel my ears burning up. I’m lousy at this kind of stuff. I’d choose to deal with writing over people any time of the week, especially a businessman like him.“Relax, I was just joking,” He laughs, reaching out for a handshake, “I don’t imagine you’d be interested in it.”I don’t know how to answer this out-of-nowhere comment that seems to have some deeper meaning behind it, so I choose to ignore it and answer the one before that:“Thanks for the concern. The trip isn’t so bad,” I take his hand, adding when he cocked his eyebrows lightly, “I took the subway over, for that exact reason.”He laughs.I always knew him as the bad boy in school, one that nobody dares to mess with. So it’s actually an interesting feeling to see such a warm, friendly laugh from a guy like Adrian Dunn. And it helps me calm down.“I was starting to worry that you weren’t coming,” He pulls the chair ou

Scarlett’s POV“Mr. Dunn, I’m so sorry!” I turn to Adrian Dunn with my heart in my throat and my head dizzy at Sebastian’s provoking words.Did they always talk like this? Cause that’s easier to believe than thinking that Sebastian came on so aggressively because of me.“Why are you apologizing for him?” Adrian does not play by the rules, at all.“In case you forgot, she’s my wife!” Sebastian answers so fast as if he has been waiting a chance to declare that.“I’m NOT!” I snap at him, before taking a deep breath and turning back to Adrian Dunn, “Anyways, I’m sorry for the role I played in this, if any...”“No need to apologize.” The smile is back on Adrian’s face. His eyes land on Sebastian but he continues to speak to me saying, “I don’t consider you two a couple anymore, so. No reason to hold you responsible for anything HE does.”Sebastian looks like he wants to bury Adrian Dunn alive.With what seems like tremendous effort, he shifts his glare from Adrian Dunn to me: “Can we talk?”

Scarlett’s POVAva never acts mean to me in front of people. I mean, her team is not “people” to her. She doesn’t care to hide her true color in front of them, nor would they dare to say anything. This is why Aurora and Lilith know little about my feud with her.“I’m fine, thanks,” I'm not at my best moment, but I would die faster spending time with Ava than walking a mile.I don’t like playing her acting game. I never understood the point of her faking a friendly face to me in front of people. Like if anyone else cares about whether she’s treating me nicely, while I would never fall for it myself. It’s a show for no audience.The car stops. Sebastian comes out of the driver’s side, glaring at me across the car with a cold tone: “Get in.”I roll my eyes, walking away.I’m no longer the stupid fucking dog following him around with smitten eyes and he can’t fucking order me around anymore!“Scarlett Fuller,” Sebastian calls my full name calmly from behind. That’s his way of showing real

Scarlett’s POVI really want to throw my purse into his face before leaving with Lilith, but I can’t do that to Granny. Our war should not ruin her day.In the end, we watched Sebastian and Ava walk in with winning smiles, leaving us by the gate. While Ava attacked Lilith just to upset me, she has a point. I can’t let Lilith walk in there in her jeans. It would definitely upset Granny.So long as we get a dress, we can make it through the party. Granny might not even notice her.“It’s okay, I can wait for you guys at some bar nearby,” After me and Aurora’s awkward explanation, Lilith hugs us with a comforting smile, “I really don’t mind.”“It’s only because--” I want to explain more. If only I had told Aurora what the party was about.If only I thought I could handle Sebastian and Ava on my own...“You know I don’t like this kind of stuff, I understand,” Lilith grins at me, not looking offended. Or she just hides it well.“I--”“What seems to be the problem here?”An unfamiliar voice c
