Chapter 6 I pondered for a moment , sizing up the person before me who was quite attractive , I must admit .
Seeing my hesitation , Lars Clarke quickly added : Sis , dont worry .
Im still a … virgin .
This time , I didnt hesitate and agreed right away .
After arranging a time with Lars Clarke , I set about preparing a Valentines gift .
In the corner of my closet , I stumbled upon the scarf I never managed to give away .
1/9 The memory felt somewhat distant .
But I remember clearly that Sebastian Clem had looked down on it , saying it was too ugly .
He accepted the gift but never wore it .
Yet , the next day , Sebastian Clem , dressed in a suit , had an awkwardly mismatched scarf around his neck .
The style was awful and clearly wasnt from any expensive brand .
But even so , Sebastian Clem , who was always picky , wore it throughout the entire winter .
Later , I found out .
The scarf was knitted by Beatrice Meyer .
2/9 Chapter 6 + 5 Points My thoughts came back to the present , and I glanced down at the scarf in my hand .
After all , it was a scarf I had painstakingly knitted over half a month , and giving it to Lars Clarke he should like it , right ? As I was caught in my indecision , Sebastian Clem walked in .
His voice was full of excitement , Valentines Day is just around the corner .
I bought two tickets to the Maldives .
Want to go with me ? I was a bit surprised .
Sebastian Clem wasnt holding a grudge about my last escape .
3/9 Chapter 6 + 5 Points Instead , he was acting as if nothing had happened , asking me if I wanted to go on a honeymoon with him .
He really … … I didnt understand .
Perhaps my shock was too evident , and Sebastian Clem couldnt help but laugh .
His tone was sincere : I was too busy to spend time with you recently , but now the companys taking a break , and Ill go wherever you want .
Ive also learned a few new recipes , so take it easy tonight , the kitchen is mine .
I promise youll be satisfied this time .
4/9 apter + 5 Points Even without my response , Sebastian Clem kept talking to himself .
This scene made me mistakenly feel as though … As if Sebastian Clem and I had always led a calm and warm life together .
This was the life I had always dreamed of .
I fantasized about it more than once , but dreams , like bubbles , burst when touched .
Yet now , the fantasy had come true , and I felt no excitement or joy only absurdity and emptiness .
It was as if a hollow part of me was abruptly filled with cotton , in a futile attempt to mend it , but it could never be restored .

Uncomfortable and repelling .
5/9 However , Sebastian Clem was immersed in his world , and nothing I said made a difference , so I chose to stay silent .
Dinner was ready quickly , and Sebastian Clem spent a good amount of time setting up a particularly romantic dining room .
There were flowers , wine , and candlelight .
All arranged according to my preferences .
I remained silent , devoid of any joy .
The light in Sebastian Clems eyes dimmed , but he continued to force a smile , trying to keep the mood alive .
In truth , Sebastian Clem wasnt much of a talker .
6/9 Chapter 6 + 5 Points He didnt really know how to make a girl happy .
Especially when he was racking his brains , searching for something to say .
I found the dinner exhausting , and I didnt want to torment myself any longer , so I was the first to give in : Sebastian Clem , thats enough .
He was puzzled , What ? I glanced around the house , everything both familiar and unfamiliar .
Familiar because Id seen it in Beatrice Meyers social media circle .
Unfamiliar because this time , the leading role wasnt Beatrice Meyer ; it was me .
7/9 I seemed trapped in a strange cycle , with me on one side , Beatrice Meyer on the other , and Sebastian Clem as the one holding the power to make a choice .
I no longer wanted to continue like this , so I chose to let go .
But Sebastian Clem suddenly gave up the right to choose , willingly becoming the one to be chosen .
He was no longer aloof ; he became cautious .
He was no longer distant ; he tried to bridge the gap between us .
Hes changing bit by bit , becoming better , more like the Sebastian Clem who once loved me .
8/9 But these changes came when I had already let him go entirely .
I sighed , no longer hesitating : Its too late , Sebastian .
Theres no chance for us anymore .
So , lets get a divorce .
9/9
