Chapter 34 1/2 Perhaps the woman Sebastian spoke of had not drawn him in because of her looks , but she had successfully turned into someone he could not quite forget . Then , Gladys asked , " Why did the two of you break up ? " " I had to study abroad , " he answered . That was a decision he had to make . He could have chosen to stay in Slate City , but he didn't want to let Alexander down . So , he gave up on his right to inherit the Grant Group . He had already lost a brother when he was young due to the kidnapping , and he had not overcome the trauma that came with it yet . The mischievous and cunning boy had turned into a cold , aloof , quiet , and distant man overnight . " Judging from how you've just described her , she seems like a cute and honest lady , " Gladys commented . Sebastian nodded silently . " You've been dreaming about her and another woman lately . You even seem to feel desire toward the other woman you've just met . " You feel like the two women are similar , but they're still two independent women . Do you think you're using the woman you've just met as a substitute for your first love ? " she asked . " I'm not , " he denied . He had never once thought of Valeria as Jane's stand - in . Although Valeria had reminded him of Jane , he knew his suspicions were unwarranted after he found out that she was actually Valeria Wood . He even felt slightly disgusted with himself . Hence , he felt like it was best if he just pretended not to know Valeria whenever he saw her . Gladys proceeded to explain , " Judging from how you've described your first love to me , I think you regretted breaking up with her just because you had to study abroad . " You were also shocked that she'd really break up with you because she was always quiet and obedient . Hence , you were under the impression that she'd always wait for you . " " I … " Sebastian trailed off , his voice hoarse . Gladys asked , " So , Mr. Grant , do you regret it ? " Sebastian instinctively clenched his hands into fists as he responded , " Let's change the topic . " " Although you claim that all the gifts she's returned to you are rubbish and that you've thrown . them all away , I believe you've kept them . " Rubbing his temples , he nodded . She felt that he was an interesting man . Although he seemed cold and aloof , his ears had turned Chapter 34 red when he nodded to her statement . Did he not want to admit it ? Or did he not dare to do so ? " Have you ever tried contacting her ? " " I've tried , but … " Sebastian suddenly felt a wave of helplessness washing over him . Shaking his head , he remained silent . " Is that why you've turned your attention toward someone who reminds you of her ? Are you trying to find the feelings you once had with your first love with this new woman ? " " I know perfectly well that I don't see that other woman as her substitute . Not to mention , the other woman is married , and she has a daughter . " Sebastian was still lucid . He hadn't lost his rationale to the point where he would have such thoughts about a married woman with a child . Gladys was at a loss for words . " Oh , that's a shame … " After two hours , Sebastian stood up . He didn't feel like he had healed , but at least he found someone who would not expose him . He had also gotten a lot off his chest . " Mr. Grant , I know you've been avoiding a ton of questions throughout this session . Although you don't want to admit it , you were more or less sincere during your previous relationship , " Gladys commented . Sebastian's gaze darkened as he looked at Gladys . " No , I didn't . " " Oh , so you've never had feelings for her ? " Frowning , Sebastian answered coldly , " I didn't . " His words echoed firmly throughout the consultation room . Then , he turned to the door , reaching out to open it . Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward ! Play
