Chapter 426: Indigestion
Seb glared outside at the rain, feeling as though even nature had conspired to mirror his gloomy mood. With a heavy sigh, he scrolled through the messages on his phone, replying to the congratulatory ones with gratitude and brushing off the invitations to parties with the excuse that he was feeling under the weather. Well, it wasn’t entirely false—he was definitely under the weather, just not in the way everyone assumed.
With a sigh, he looked down at the untouched food on his plate and wondered for the nth time if his night time guest must have gone from the room or not. She’d been sleeping deeply when he’d left about two hours ago. Dam* it! He’d made it a point to never sleep with anyone after having se* with them! And yet, like a fool, he had carelessly broken that vow with the very woman who had been the catalyst for it in the first place.
Just then, a person plopped into the seat next to him and then another on the other side. He ignored their silence presence and continued to pretend they did not exist. But, of course, they were not happy with being ignored.
"You’ve been eyeing that mashed potato like it owes you money." Gabe murmured making Seb look up at him with a frown.
"Yeah. Why the long face?" Erasmi wondered easily as he placed his plate of food in front of him.
Seb frowned and pushed the food on his plate. WIth these two here, there was no way he was going to get off easily.. He needed to distract them," Just thinking of some things..We’re the only ones left with our broken hearts and fractured hopes, remember? The three of us. Demetri is settled. Ian is on the way and Lucien will find a way soon enough."
A moment of silence followed this as Gabe and Erasmi exchanged knowing glances at Seb’s remark, understanding the weight of his words all too well. Each of them had found their love and lost them forever.
Gabe sighed, his tone gentle but firm,"You’ve still got a chance, you know. The past..."
Erasmi shook his head at Gabe as Seb stiffened and said nothing.
