Chapter 1


    Upon Sebastian Jackman’s return to the country, Scarlett Sales, his secret lover, was promptly brought


    to E Mansion


    Before meeting him, she was to ensure that she was thoroughly washed and had no trace of perfume


    or makeup.


    After thoroughly washing herself, she changed into ice silk pajamas in ordance with his preferences


    and ascended to the


    second floor bedroom.


    As the man sat at theputer, tending to his business, he nced at her indifferently when she


    entered the room.


    “Come here”


    His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.


    Scarlett, fearful of his anger, hastened to walk in front of him without dy.


    Before she could even stand still. Sebastian swiftly swept her into his arms, his slender fingers tenderly


    pinching her chin.


    Lowering his head, he kissed her red lips, pried open her teeth, and sucked in the fragrance of her


    mouth in a crazed


    manner.


    Sebastian had always been reticent when it came to expressing himself to her. He was unsure of how


    to show his affection. yet when he saw her, he could not help but do it immediately.


    He looked noble and restrained, yet when it came to this matter, he showed no grace, being


    domineering and fierce.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    He had been away on a business trip abroad for three months and hadn’t had contact with a woman for


    that entire time. Tonight, he was unlikely to let her go easily.


    As expected, Sebastian was even more crazed than usual.


    He pressed her waist and desired her repeatedly on both the sofa and bed.


    Only when she had fallen asleep was the man satisfied.


    When she awoke, the spot beside her was vacant, yet the sound of water was emanating from the


    bathroom.


    Following the sound, she saw his slender figure reflected in the frosted ss.


    Scarlett was a little surprised. Every time he finished with her, he would leave without waiting for her to


    wake up.


    She strained her feeble body to sit up from the bed and silently waited for the man to emerge.


    A few minutester, the sound of water in the bathroom ceased abruptly. The man emerged, wrapped


    in a bath towel.


    Droplets of water from his hair cascaded down his honey–hued skin, tracing the contours of his toned


    abdominal muscles. His physique was undeniably alluring.


    His delicate and handsome face was as sharp as a knife, his indifferent and distant peach blossom


    eyes deep and dark.


    The man was beautiful, yet his cold aura deterred people from approaching him easily.


    Sebastian saw that she had awoken, his cold gaze fixed upon her.


    “In the future, you don’t have toe.


    Scarlett was taken aback for an instant. What did he mean?


    Sebastian retracted his gaze from her, turned around, took a document, and handed it to her, “This


    contract is terminated in advance.”


    Upon seeing the agreement, Scarlett finallyprehended that Sebastian desired to terminate their


    rtionship.


    He had not left immediately, not out of reluctance to part with her, but rather because he wanted to


    break up with her.


    She had been following him for five years, and while she had anticipated this day would eventually


    arrive, she had not expected it to be like this.


    There was no reason given, no further exnation, just a notification.


    Suppressing the pain in her heart, she slowly raised her head to see Sebastian dressing


    “The contract will expire in half a year. Can’t we wait a little longer?”


    The doctor had informed her that she had only three months of life left, and she desired to spend as


    much time with him as possible until her life ended.


    Sebastian didn’t reply, his gaze cold and unwavering, as if he were shooing away a toy.


    His silence caused her to be conscious of herself


    Five years had gone by, yet her efforts to thaw his heart had been in vain. It was time for her to wake


    up to reality.


    “Don’t be so serious, I was just joking,” she said as she took the contract..


    “I don’t want to be with you anymore. I am happy that the contract has been terminated.”


    Pausing for a moment, Sebastian adjusted his sleeves and raised his cold eyes to meet Scarlett’s.


    No sadness was visible on her face, as if a sense of relief hade over her.


    He frowned slightly and asked lightly, “Are you happy?”


    Scarlett pretended not to care and nodded. “Yeah, I’m not young anymore. It’s time for me to get


    married and have children. I can’t always follow you like this, right?”


    It was clearly impossible for her to marry and have children in this lifetime, yet she had to lie to


    Sebastian.


    Thinking of this, she smiled and asked Sebastian, “Since the contract has been terminated, can I have


    a boyfriend in the future?”


    Sebastian nced at her, then reached for the watch on the bedside table and started to depart.


    “Up to you.”


    This was his parting statement before he departed.


    Scarlett’s smile gradually diminished as she watched his back.


    Sebastian showed no reaction when he heard her say she wanted a boyfriend.


    It looked like…


    He was really tired of her.
