At those words, a cold glint flashed through Sean’s eyes.
“What am I doing?”
He let out a cold laugh. “Do you really not know what I want?”
“All these years, I thought you understood me. Turns out you’re no different from the rest of them.”
“I gave everything you want to you.”
Grace even pointed at Tessa lying on the floor.
“I even helped you raise the daughter you had with that woman. Do you have any idea how people outside look at me now?”
“But weren’t these all your own decisions?”
Sean lived by one rule: as long as he felt no shame, his conscience could not restrain him.
Besides, it had always been a matter of mutual consent.
If Grace had not taken the initiative back then, he would never have agreed.
But now, Grace no longer accepted that argument.
“You say I took the initiative. It was only because you kept bringing these things up again and again.”
“Wasn’t that because you had feelings for me?”
The two of them confronted their past like this, speaking openly in front of Arnold and Tessa.
Hearing their exchange, even Arnold was shocked.
He never imagined she had gone to such extremes back then.
He had always believed Grace was merely young and naïve.
Now it seemed she was nothing more than a living fool.
Not only had she helped raise the child of the man she loved and the woman he loved, she was now being openly accused by that same man.
With a single sentence, he so bluntly denied everything they once shared.
Thinking about it, Arnold found it almost laughable.
But he was, after all, just a servant, and there was nothing he could say.
Even though he knew these matters were indeed the Grace’s fault, seeing her in such a pitiful state now left him unable to voice a single word of reproach.
