Remorse After Breaking Up

Breaking 210

The delighted Baileys prepared a feast for Sebastian to thank him. On top of that, they prepared a check for one billion dollars as a reward, which Sebastian turned down without thinking

A mere one billion dollars wasn’t enough to entice him. Moreover, he willingly made the trip to the Bailey residence for Gina’s sake.

Bob gave up on convincing him after some consideration. He assumed that Sebastian must be making good money as a talented doctor. Therefore, it wasn’t surprising that he’d treat money as a secondary concern. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Mr. Wilder, this might be a rather intrusive question, but are you married?” After some drinking, Bob suddenly directed a question at Sebastian.

Sebastian was taken aback. He nodded but shook his head again, confusing everyone. “Dr. Wilder, you nodded and shook your head. What does that mean?

“I’m married, but I’m in the middle of a divorce,” Sebastian explained with a flat expression.

Lillian was, to him, a memory from his past. Although she left a considerable impact on his life, she was, at the end of the day, a passerby.

Bob did not press on, but he instinctively stole a glance at his daughter. Esme, who immediately read his mind, blushed.

The night was deep after they were done with dinner. Although the Baileys had invited Sebastian to stay the night, he insisted on leaving.

After Sebastian left, Esme wanted to retire to her bedroom for some rest, but Bob stopped her in the living room.

Curious, he asked, “Esme, what’s Dr. Wilder’s background?”

“I wasn’t acquainted with him before this. A friend of mine recommended him to me, ,” she explained

“So, what do you think of him?” Bob inquired.

“Dr. Wilder is great in his field. He’s an excellent man,” replied Esme.

“Do you have feelings for him?” Bob pressed on.

A blush crept onto Esme’s face. “Dad, what are you talking about? We haven’t even known each other for long. Of course, we wouldn’t have any feelings for each other. Besides, I don’t want to think about dating for now.”

Bob joked, “You’re getting older. It’s time to find a boyfriend. I personally think Dr. Wilder is a solid choice. You can consider dating him.”

“Dad, stop fussing over my personal life. I’m really not interested in dating for now,” Esme insisted.

In reality, Esme was afraid to entertain the idea of dating a man. She would be placing her date in deep trouble with the envious Travis as long as he remained a menace in her life.

Besides, she did not seriously consider dating Sebastian as they had only crossed paths once.

“Bob, you’ve just recovered. Let’s get you back to the room for some rest.” Marie swiftly changed the topic of conversation. She was grateful to Sebastian for saving her husband’s life, but Travis

remained her ideal candidate for her son–in–law as Travis was the heir of the Lloyd family.

No other man could match Travis‘ wealth and social standing

After Sebastian left the Bailey residence, he took a cab to the train station. He quickly discovered something was amiss as the cab took him farther away to a desolate area. Clearly, they weren’t headed to the train station.

The situation reminded Sebastian of Travis. He was sure that Travis was behind this.

He feigned ignorance and deliberately took the bait because he was curious about what sort of trick Travis had up his sleeve this time.
