Chapter 108: The devil arrives
"It is just who she is. Her pureness, her kindness, those sharp green eyes, her cherry red lips, her sweet innocent smiles. Everything about her. I love everything about her. There is not a single thing in her that I can find fault with. It’s just—I know she was made for me."
Hearing something about someone else from the man whom you love couldn’t be a happy experience. But Sebastian Crowne had to tell her. He wanted her to give up. He didn’t want her to do something that might hurt Jazmine Harrison. In the end, the person whom he put first in his mind was Jazmine Harrison. And all of his actions were intended to protect his beloved Jazmine Harrison.
"I can’t return your feelings. I hope you forget about it." His voice was cold, not offering the slightest hint of warmth or compassion.
Sarah Blackwood had enough. She knew she had lost Sebastian Crowne completely. He was never hers to begin with. Her big eyelashes fluttered as she looked at him with tearful eyes. She had never cried in front of him before. Because she knew he liked the strong woman. She had always pretended to look strong in front of him. But today, she was failing. She let her frustration take control of her.
"Do you know what I wish for most in this world? I wish I would have never brought Jazmine Harrison to Hong Kong."
Sebastian Crowne glanced at her for a moment. He was surprised to hear something like this from her. She had always been kind, gentle, and sacrificing. Only now she was showing her true colors. Had she been faking it all the time?
"That wouldn’t have changed anything. I have told you that I have always seen you as a sister."
Sarah Blackwood laughed. Her eyes were red from crying. "At least I wouldn’t have to see the one I love happily with some other woman."
Sebastian Crowne hadn’t said anything and left, refusing to provide any words of comfort to the crying Sarah Blackwood. The next day he had proposed to Jazmine Harrison. He never told her Sarah Blackwood’s words, afraid to hurt her. Before he could have a chance to tell her, that tragedy happened.
Standing outside the hospital room that night and looking inside, Sebastian Crowne had recalled all that. "She would never forgive me." Jazmine Harrison was crazy about Sarah Blackwood. It wouldn’t be wrong to say she admired her more than Sebastian Crowne. Her naive self had failed to see the darkness in Sarah Blackwood. What Jazmine Harrison admired most about Sarah Blackwood was her proficiency in piano. Now that it was lost, she wouldn’t forgive him.
