Unknown to Qixiang, Sebastian was not in the right mood at all. Right from the moment Mark had talked about Jolene and the fact that he could not erase him because he would hate to see Jolene sad and hate him because of that, till the moment he heard that she was poisoned by her family, and till now that she remained unconscious.
He hated the reality, especially on hearing it directly from Qixiang. He hated the fact that he could not change the reality and that Jolene would never love him back, no matter how much he tried. And Qixiang reminding him that he had been trying to impress her since he was fourteen worsened his condition.
Annoyed, he replied Qixiang with a cold demeanor, "I have only loved her as a friend, Qixiang, nothing more."
