Mending a Broken Love (Sebastian and Roxanne) novel Chapter 92

Sebastian's tone was gentle when he took Roxanne's hand and slid the ring onto her finger. It sparkled brilliantly. "It looks beautiful."

Roxanne shook her hand lightly, causing the ring to shift around on her finger. Sebastian had bought the wrong size. It would have been much too simple for him to find out what her ring size was. He had put in so little effort despite wanting to propose to her, so she assumed the ring was actually for someone else.

Sebastian sure had some nerve to do that to her.

Although Roxanne was rolling her eyes at him in her heart, she fixed a dazzling smile on her face. "The diamond is so big! I love it."

If she sold off the ring, she would probably earn quite a pretty penny. The money would most likely be enough for her to further her studies abroad. She would treat it as compensation from Sebastian for ruining the best years of her life.

Roxanne had her reasons for accepting Sebastian's ring despite being unwilling to marry him. Sebastian had power and authority. He was the type of man who would twist her complaints about a scam call into a hint about wanting him to propose to her. He was also the type who would put in so little effort for a proposal.

She had rejected him so many times in the past, but he had always brushed it off, so Roxanne didn't bother trying anymore. She gave up on fighting against him. Besides, she would be leaving in the next few days.

Roxanne assumed Sebastian was proposing to her because he felt guilty about what had happened. He was preemptively giving himself a way out. He wouldn't have proposed to her if he wasn't feeling pressured.

Furthermore, he had done it without a crowd present and when she was distracted with her game. What was most damning was the ring that was the wrong size, yet he wanted her to believe that he was being genuine?

If Roxanne actually trusted him, she would be the real fool.

Sebastian sat down next to her. He looked carefree and joyful, looking very much like he was being sincere about the whole thing. "Since you've accepted my proposal, you should let bygones be bygones. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Roxanne had been spot on in her assumptions. Sebastian had offered her a carrot before giving her the stick. The smile on her face widened. "Okay. I won't care about it anymore."
