Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 119

Sebastian faced his impure thoughts about Valeria openly. He wanted to sleep with her. There was no point in hiding it—just for tonight.

He had gone to Class B's gathering because of Valeria, but he ended up losing control and lashing out after hearing a few men insult Jane.

Sebastian didn't know what kind of gossip would start in that room after he left or whether Valeria would hear about it. His feelings toward Valeria weren't pure, but they also weren't the only ones he had.

In the past, Sebastian never would have imagined that he'd one day be associated with the word "scumbag". But here he was, thinking about two women at the same time.

Still, he couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Jane like that. Even if it had happened right in front of Valeria that night, he still would have punched those guys. Whether he liked Jane or not was his own business.

It was deep in the night, and Sebastian sat on a single armchair by the window. The smell of alcohol on him had long dissipated.

The living room lights were off, leaving the place completely dark. His gaze was deep and unfathomable.

Sebastian got up and walked over to the trash can, taking out the delivery box he had thrown away.

The parcel was only the size of his palm. After opening it, he found the blue gemstone tiara inside, wrapped in foam padding and inlaid with tiny diamonds that sparkled even under the dim light. It was luxurious and beautiful.

When he picked this piece at the boutique, the sales assistant had told him it contained two stones that symbolized peace and safety. It was blue and incredibly beautiful.

He understood what Valeria meant, and he also understood how ridiculously he'd been acting lately. If it weren't for what happened tonight, he might have continued down that absurd path.

In the days that followed, Valeria didn't see Sebastian again, and he didn't go looking for her either. The two of them returned to their normal routines.

Sebastian would only catch the occasional glimpse of Selena when he went to pick Leo up, but he would only observe from a distance.

One morning, while dropping Leo off at school, Sebastian took out two boxes of imported fruit gummies from the glove compartment. "One box is for you, and give the other to Selena. Tell her it's from you."

"Okay!" Leo happily stuffed both boxes into his backpack and was just about to get out of the car when Sebastian suddenly reached over and gripped the back of Leo's neck. Sebastian's eyes flickered as he looked out the window.

Leo desperately flailed about. "Uncle Sebastian, let go of me! I see Val and Selena! I want to go to them!"
