Chapter 480


    “Oh, I just wanted to charge my phone.”


    “Huh?”


    Sasha was stunned.


    Charge his phone? Isn’t he nning to go to bed?


    Sasha stared nkly at him as he went to get his charger. His gaze fell upon her for a fleeting moment


    when he entered. And that was the only time he looked at her.


    At that moment, she felt as if he had poured cold water on her, dousing the anticipation she had.


    What am I going to do now?


    Even seduction has failed me.


    This is the first time I have put on this dress. Furthermore, I have never worn anything this skimpy in


    front of him. How can he… not have any reaction at all?


    Feeling slighted, Sasha copsed onto the bed with her nose burning.


    Unbeknown to her, right after Sebastian left the room, he hurried to his study and downed a big ss of


    iced water.


    Da*n her!


    When he returned to the bedroom an hourter, she was already asleep.


    Hugging a pillow, she curled up in a corner, just like an abandoned kitten. When he went over to her


    side, he could still see her butterfly-like eyshes moist from tears.


    “I’m sorry…”


    Sobbing in her sleep, she continued to apologize.


    What a fool.


    Unable to keep it up any longer, hey down beside her and hugged her tight.


    “It’s alright,” he murmured.


    “Let’s leave this ce, shall we? We can leave everything behind. We’re still young and can build a


    new life somece else. What do you think?”


    He whispered into her ear in a pleading tone.


    Worried that he would be driven mad if he stayed any longer, he was filled with the urge to leave.


    All this while, he had assumed his ruthlessness and power would make him invincible. However, when


    the truth wasid before him, he was unable to behave indifferently.


    It’s probably because I’m not cruel enough.


    Both of them hugged each other to sleep.


    The next day, when Sasha woke up, Sebastian was already gone.


    As she gradually came to her senses, she was delighted when she felt the residual warmth beside her.


    However, when she saw that her nightie was still intact, her heart sank.


    She was devastated that he had not made advances on her.


    When she went downstairs, she realized Sebastian and the kids weren’t at home. After checking with


    Lance, he told her that Sebastian had sent the children to school.


    Why didn’t he wake me up? Is he avoiding me?


    After that, Sasha went to her office feeling depressed.


    While she was there, she received a call from Sabrina.


    “F*ck! Are you alright? Did my brother yell at you yesterday?”


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    Looks like she still has a conscience by asking about me before ranting at me.


    Sasha felt worse after hearing Sabrina’s question. “Your brother is giving me the cold shoulder…”


    “Huh? Ignoring you?”


    Sabrina felt terribly guilty. “What are we going to do then? He is capable of doing anything whenever he


    is angry. In fact, he can even ignore someone for years.”


    “What? Years?”


    “Of course. Am I not the best example? He sent me on exile just because we quarreled.”


    Those are two entirely different situations.


    Nevertheless, Sasha recognized how terrible Sebastian could be when he was angry. After all, that was


    why everyone in Hayes Corporation feared him.


    Sasha felt further disheartened.


    “However, there’s one way to trick him into revealing his thoughts.”


    “What is it?”


    “ying video games. Let me tell you, he loves ying them. Do you have an ount? If you do, just


    add him. After all, he has all the time in the world now. In fact, he might even be ying games when


    you’re not at home. Once you y together with him using your ount, he will be trapped.”


    Given how Sabrina revealed his weakness, they are undoubtedly siblings.


    With that, Sasha was suddenly filled with hope.


    Of course, she had an ount, it was just that she seldom yed and was terrible at it.


    Then, Sabrina was all excited to share his ount details, Sasha wanted to end the call right away.


    “Hey, you really don’t have a conscience, do you? Why didn’t you even ask me about my condition?”


    Suppressing her restlessness, Sasha asked in a guilty tone, “In that case, how are you doing?”


    “F*ck!” Sabrina swore. “My dad had me kneel in the garden since yesterday. My knees are all sore!”


    Sasha didn’t know how to react to that.


    After all, Sabrina was a lot more fortunate than she was.


    “So, when did your dad release you? By the way, what did you see on the second floor of the building?


    Also, what was that thing chewing on your toes…”


    “What? That thing was chewing my leg? Argh!”


    Sabrina screamed into the phone.


    After a long while, Sabrina managed to calm down. “I don’t know. When I went up and was rummaging


    through the dresser, something suddenly pounced on me from behind.”
