Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182

Valeria immediately tried to shake off Sebastian’s hand as soon as she got out of the car.

Sebastian chuckled out of anger. “So, you’re just trying to get me to leave, huh?”

He looked up to the sixth floor again. Every other unit in the apartment was dark except for

hers.

His arms around her waist refused to let go.

Sebastian felt that he should not have gone soft on her earlier. “Don’t tell me you’re going

back to continue where you’ve left off with Shane.”

Seeing how tired Valeria was, he did not have the heart to argue with her.

Valeria replied, “I’ll be free after 10:00 pm that night.”

Sebastian still did not let go of her.

She turned to look at him, and he replied, “Do I pick you up? Or will you be coming to me?”

The cold wind blowing against Valeria had thoroughly woken her up. “We’ll see when the time

comes.”

Sebastian still refused to let her go. His fingers gave her soft waist a light squeeze through the

already soft down jacket.

Looking at her calm and collected expression, he eventually let go of her, but not without tilting his chin toward the dustproof bag on the ground. “Take the dress with you. What’s given is given.”

Before she could say anything, he continued, “You can throw it away if you don’t like it. There’s a trash can right in front of you, or you could even just sell it off as secondhand.”

The money from selling it would be enough for her to live comfortably. She would no longer have to live like a struggling couple with Shane.

Sebastian once received a package from a woman containing something that made him inexplicably furious.

It was sent to his home while he was abroad in Amaran. The woman then blocked him and

erased every possible way for him to reach her.

Ever since, that experience became a fire in his heart that could never be put out. It would flare up from time to time, reminding him of the pain.

Chapter 182

2/3

Valeria returned home and canceled the pickup service she had ordered earlier.

She had a mannequin in her apartment. It was smaller than a standard one as it was used for

clothes alteration.

She brought it out and slipped the dress onto it.

The blue gown shimmered under the lights like bright stars.

Valeria had always loved the color blue, especially light blue. She could not resist it, so she

walked up and changed into the gown

herself.

The skirt of the dress was wide and filled with the embroidery of blue roses.

The bust and waistline of the dress also fit her perfectly.

As she had a bigger bust, it was rare to find such a perfect fit whenever Valeria shopped for clothes. Whenever she managed to find something that fit her chest, it would be too loose on

her waist. Vice versa, if it fit her waist, it would be too tight for her chest.

The dress, however, was altered to fit her body flawlessly.

There was no way she could even sell it off as secondhand, as the dress was tailored exactly to

her and her alone.

And besides, no one would possibly be looking for a secondhand piece of haute couture worth

millions of dollars.

Valeria did not really have a choice. No one would even believe her dress to be genuine, even if

she tried to list it online.

Such was the gap between Sebastian and her.
