Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 1057

Sebastian froze. Even through the old couple's veiled words, he caught the underlying bombshell.

There was someone else by Lillian's side!

He utterly refused to believe it.

How could there be another man?

In all of Northwyn, there were only a handful of men who were even worthy of her.

And those elite men all came from prominent, aristocratic families. They weren't living under rocks; they would undoubtedly see the trending news. If they knew she was his ex-wife, why would any of them marry a divorced woman?

She would carry the stigma. She would be looked down upon.

Instead of choosing someone else, shouldn't she just choose him again?

But the mere thought that she might already belong to someone else tore at his sanity. He couldn't accept it.

"Are you telling me," he demanded, his voice trembling, "that she's already with another man?"

Old Mrs. Blake sighed. "It's the modern era. You two are divorced. Even if she has a new man, it's perfectly normal. Just because you were too blind to appreciate her, does that mean no one else is allowed to cherish and love her?"

Old Mr. Blake slammed his hand on the table. "Enough! Let me give it to you straight. Yes, Lillian has someone else. Your mother and I have met him. Frankly, he is miles ahead of you in every conceivable way. We couldn't find a single flaw. Lillian has permanently severed all ties with you and the Blake family. Let it go gracefully, and stop dragging her down. Focus your energy on cleaning up the mess with Debbie Harris before she causes another disaster."

The moment Old Mr. Blake confirmed there was another man, Sebastian's hearing went completely numb.

"Truly pathetic."

The words snapped Sebastian out of his trance, and he suddenly roared, "Impossible! You're lying to me! I am the love of her life! How could she possibly fall for another man so soon after our divorce?"

The old couple stared in disbelief. Sebastian was entirely delusional. He genuinely believed that Lillian was still pining for him, that despite the divorce and the unspeakable emotional trauma he had inflicted on her, she was physically incapable of moving on. He expected her to wait faithfully in the shadows until he finally decided to look her way again.

Old Mrs. Blake was thoroughly disgusted.

"So soon? Do you even hear yourself? How long has it been since the divorce? Nearly a year! You've already managed to marry another woman! What's wrong with Lillian getting a boyfriend? Sebastian, if you've conveniently forgotten, allow your mother to remind you. For the sake of Bella Ward, you ruthlessly sent Lillian to prison!"

The words struck Sebastian like a physical blow to the head, leaving him completely shattered.
