Mending a Broken Love (Roxanne and Sebastian) novel Chapter 202

Sebastian suddenly felt a surge flooding his chest.

Nicholas noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to pat his back, helping him ease the discomfort. He then said to the four people in the room, "You all should go out first."

The four immediately obeyed and left.

Heaven knew that the energy Sebastian exuded was so powerful that staying in the same space with him wasn't something an ordinary person could endure.

In that instant, they admired Roxanne even more. She wasn't just dealing with a tiger; she was negotiating with one.

And looking at how Roxanne had approached winning over Sebastian, it was clear she had both courage and strategy. How could someone so smart not see that Sebastian's heart wasn't with her? If she had truly loved him, that would have been one thing. The key was, she had been after profit.

Why did she fight so hard?

Her courage was truly admirable.

After everyone left, Nicholas quickly tried to calm him down. "Stay steady. Control yourself. You can't get angry right now. You can't let your emotions fluctuate."

Sebastian struggled to stabilize his emotions. His chest heaved violently, and his mind felt like it was boiling over. Pain and regret twisted together, darkness and despair threatening to swallow him whole.

Listening to how they described and belittled Roxanne, he could barely breathe. Yet Roxanne had been enduring all of this, year after year.

"Because Roxanne would stay up late waiting for you to come home. She would watch over you all night when you were sick. She would be the first to worry when you weren't feeling well. She would prepare gifts for your birthday. She would always greet you with that bright, radiant smile. She would wag her tail at you like a dog—"

Sebastian interrupted, "She's not a dog!"

Nicholas shrugged. "I'm just making a comparison. Don't take it to heart.

"I'm saying this to tell you—she loved you. She showed it through her actions. Everyone could see it. Everyone knew she loved you. No one would doubt it. Let me put it this way. If I said Emma liked you, do you think anyone would believe it? Would you believe it yourself?"

Sebastian was momentarily stunned.
