NovelEnglish229 Cold-blooded Creature Sure there are much more expensive rings, but not this one.
Sure, it's the heart of the almighty Sebastian Knight, but he was only a teenager himself when he designed the ring. He had limited resources - well, limited as a Knight. Still. The designer is a family friend, and the stone, while rare, is only worth his pocket money at that time. The most valuable about the ring, is the emotion he stores in it.
Scar is upset at Sebastian's tactful strategy - to follow her price only with 10,000$ at a time, and then suddenly doubles it. Anyone, even Silco himself if he was here today, would hesitate at least for a second.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGiving Sebastian a death stare, Scar doesn't raise her plate. Fine! He wants his damn ring so much? He can have it! It's not like she's here for that stupid ring anyway.
Sebastian is looking in her direction. Gloating? Scar is determined not to look over, but then he opens his mic and clears his throat as if he wants to talk. Uncontrollably, Scar looks over, only to see his confused face saying - aren't you going to follow? Jerk!!! Scar really wishes she could just close the curtain and bite the hell out of the annoying man.
She's not the only one in frustration right now-- "Daddy, please..." Ava grabs Jack Fuller's sleeve, shaking him, "Please--" "That damn ring is not worth half of our possession," Jack Fuller frowns, glaring at his daughter, "Ava Fuller, find ssense!" His voice is low, but Ava still feels like a slap landed on her face.
She darts her eyes to the ring, tears at their edge. Sebastian wouldn't give the ring to her, she knows. He has been tormenting her, and his heart is with Scar now. He is only putting in so much on the ring because he wants to give his heart to Scar, even though that woman would just slam it to the ground before treading on it without a care. That's how much he's spellbound. All because Scar stole him in the first place! If it wasn't her illness! If she didn't bet that Sebastian would love her even if he is married to Scar on paper! "Daddy, please! It's all I have now!" Ava's voice raises and she no longer cares, "Please, daddy! I have never begged you of anything, please! This is the one thing I ever wanted! I just...I really, really need to have it, please!" It's not the one thing she ever wanted and she wants everything, all the time. But Jack Fuller couldn't say that to his daughter. After all, he did all he did for the little girl he spoiled, and "all she ever wanted" - truly wanted, was that man. Sebastian Knight. Jack Fuller knows that Sebastian never really loved Ava.
Sure, that man cared about her, but that's not love. Ava couldn't see it. All she saw was how that man spoiled her with all her little wishes granted, and she took that as love. That is love, one kind of love, but that's not the romance between a man and a woman. When a man loves a woman romantically, the desire in his eyes won't go missing.
Sebastian has never looked at Ava with desire. Instead, he would laugh when Ava acts cute, and frown when Ava misbehaved. He was more like a big brother to her, a very caring one. A man would scold a little sister when she misbehaves, but for a loved one, he would crwith her instead.
Few saw through that, maybe not even Sebastian himself. But Jack Fuller did. That's why he allowed Scar to blackmail Sebastian into marriage even though that pissed Ava off- He knew Ava wouldn't be happy even if she somehow convinced that man to marry her. Sebastian would wake up one day to the realization that what he felt about Ava wasn't love, and that day would start Ava's hell. Just like the past five years.
Jack Fuller wanted her to avoid that. Maybe he was wrong. Maybe if he just accepted a divorce in Ava's future, she wouldn't instead beca criminal like right now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Two million, once!" "What isn't yours won't be yours even if you force it, Ava," Jack Fuller sighs heavily, "You need to let go of that man, like you promised." "Dad!" Ava blurts with disbelief in her
eyes. Jack Fuller rarely says no to her. Even when she basically admitted that she was just on war lyst bullying Scar, he would only turn a blind eye with a slight slap on her wrist, tops. She can't believe that even after she begged so hard, he would turn her away so sternly.
"Dad, that ring is my whole life," Ava says one word after ifter angther, hoping her father to feel her heart right now, "I won't forgive you if you let Scar get it." "Two million, twice!" The host's grin is so big that his eyes are barely visible.
"Ava--" Jack Fuller sighs, but before he can say anything, Ava grabs his plate out of his palny and raises it, her stone-cold eyes nails on him as if looking at an enemy. Jack Fuller feels a chill down his spine, as if stared by scold-blooded creature.
