Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2118

Sebastian Brenand became even more tender as he carefully held Rachel Wood in his arms, inhaling her familiar scent deeply.

They'd been apart for over a month, so it felt amazing to be holding her quietly like this.

It didn't matter what he'd encountered out there as long as he was with Rachel, then he could calm down immediately.

After a long while, he began to speak in a sorrowful tone. "Darling, you're all I have. I've already cut off ties with my parents. It's all for you. From now on, you're responsible for me. Don't ever leave me, all right?"

Although Stanley Batton had already filled them in on this, she felt even more conflicted when it came from Sebastian himself.

Rachel knew what it meant to give up one's parents for a woman. His decision moved her, but she also felt sorry for him, knowing how awful he must've felt.

There was no way he didn't feel anything for his parents.

Hurting someone one loved was the equivalent of hurting oneself.

"I'll get the lawyer to draft out the divorce agreement, and I'll hand it over to Yvette when the time comes. After that, there will be nothing between her and me," he went on.

"It won't matter if she refuses. We'll go to court. I doubt she'd want this to blow up publicly. It would only embarrass her further.

"I don't care what I have to do. I'm willing to do anything as long as I have you," he added.

Hearing that made her feel even more touched, but also more conflicted at the same time.

"Don't think so much. Just stay by my side," he said.

"Sebastian, do you really think we're doing the right thing?" Rachel asked.

"I know that being with you is the right thing. Rachel, don't leave me again, all right? I'm begging you,” he pleaded.

"I feel bad for Yvette," she told him.

"Don't you feel bad for yourself?

Promise me you won't do this again, okay? We won't bring up the sad stuff anymore, all right? That's if you want me to live well...," he trailed off, knowing that she cared more about him than anything else.

He also knew that negotiating with his own life was the most effective way.

Rachel nodded slightly, releasing a long sigh.

After that, he hugged her tightly. "Rachel, let's get married after I've sorted everything out. We'll get engaged."

Rachel still felt insecure. "You don't mind what I've been through?"

She was worried that he might not have considered everything thoroughly. Although he appeared to be genuine right now, he might not feel this way later.

Sebastian loosened his hold on her. "I'm in no way better. Let's not care about our past, okay?"

She started to sob when she heard this.

"Let's forget everything and start all over again, all right? Rachel, help me live," he said.

She pondered for a few seconds before nodding.

Honestly, they couldn't go back in time, so everything he did had already been set in stone.

Since they couldn't change anything,

this was the only way. She would

stay with Sebastian for the rest of

her life even if it meant she'd become a bad person.

She no longer cared.

Since he was willing to give up everything for her, she needed to be a little braver.

Nothing mattered even if she wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing.

Sebastian sighed in relief when he saw Rachel nodding.
