บท 88: RESOLUTION

Sebastian's eyes widened in surprise, his eyelids blinking rapidly. "You're getting married," he stated, his tone sharp.

Grace nodded, taking a seat beside him. "I came back to tell you that, and to get some clarity from you," she explained calmly.

Sebastian sighed deeply as he sat down beside her. "Clarity? You could have just started with that the other night," he said, a hint of regret in his voice. "You could have just told me you were getting married, and none of this would have happened."

Grace turned to face him, her hands wrapping around his as she searched his eyes. "I thought you were still a playboy, living life on your own terms, and I didn't want to hurt you," she explained, her voice soft. "I wanted to tell you to keep living your life, just as you once told me to live mine. To leave Elite and Meadow Brooke behind and find your own path."
