Mending a Broken Love (Roxanne and Sebastian) novel Chapter 113

Slapping Sebastian like that was a slap to the entire Hayes family. And Roxanne had done it in front of so many people. Yet Sebastian didn't seem to mind?

No one could figure out what Sebastian was thinking anymore.

In the crowd, Bianca smiled meaningfully. On the surface, it looked like Liana had won. But in truth, it was Roxanne who had the upper hand.

She had noticed the urgency on Sebastian's face when Roxanne walked away—how desperate and restless he looked.

Still, Liana could act really well.

Bianca genuinely admired her. Fainting on command and coughing up blood at just the right moment—she had it down to an art.

Roxanne was truly unlucky to have a rival like that.

…

Roxanne left the gala. Zachary was already waiting outside, so she got straight into his car.

Zachary looked at the radiant and striking woman, unable to hide the amazement in his eyes. "I brought you some clothes. You should change. That gown isn't ideal for catching a flight."

Roxanne gave him a gentle thank you. "Thanks."

The car had a partition. She lowered it and changed into the comfortable outfit Zachary had prepared. The gown was beautiful and dazzling, but it also restricted her movements. Wearing it meant keeping everything poised and proper.

Once she changed into something soft and free, it felt like her soul had been released—much like how she felt after leaving Sebastian. Her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was Sebastian.

Roxanne glanced at it, gave a cold laugh, and turned off her phone.

After Sebastian's first call was hung up, he called again, only to be met with a dead line. His temples throbbed as an overwhelming sense of unease washed over him.

Zachary reassured her, saying, "There's no need to be nervous. I'll be with you. You're not alone."

She looked at him, a soft smile gracing her lips. "Thank you, Zachary."

"No need to be so formal. You don't have to keep calling me Zachary. You can just call me Zach."

She nodded with a smile. "Thank you, Zach."

His eyes were filled with unwavering warmth.

Soon, their flight was announced. Roxanne carried only her ID and True Love's Heart, which was meant to pay for her tuition. Meanwhile, Zachary had just one small suitcase. The two of them walked into the boarding gate side-by-side, smiling.

Roxanne hadn't noticed that from the moment she and Zachary appeared, a pair of elegant eyes had been watching them from the VIP lounge next door. The figure watched as she and Zachary, looking every bit the perfect pair, boarded the plane together.
