She’s Married, Sir (Scarlett and Sebastian)

“No.”

Scarlett shook her head, the wound on the back of his head still bleeding, made her injury seem

insignificant in comparison.

“It appears your injury is more severe. Let’s go to the hospital right away.”

Scarlett’s hands were stained with his blood, the vivid red reminding her of the night five years ago

when he was struck by a

car.

Feeling even more guilty, she suffered heavy injuries twice in her attempt to save Dev, yet she could

not understand why he was protecting her so fiercely.

“Okay”

Dev nodded at her, then, as he carried her across the banquet hall, several bodyguards spotted them

and swiftly encircled. them

Feeling guilty for not having protected Dev well enough, they saw that he was badly injured and all apologized.

Dev, not caring at all, ordered them to take James to the police station and then swiftly walked to the

hotel lobby.

Scarlett was naked, but fortunately Dev’s coat was large enough to wrap around her petite body.

She was still a bit uneasy, worrying that anyone who entered the hotel would spot her and she’d have

to bury her face in

Dev’s arms.

As she nestled in his arms, a group of twenty or so bodyguards suddenly blocked their way, walking in from the entrance of

the hotel

Dev abruptly halted and gazed at the individual who emerged from the Lincoln Limousine at the hotel’s noveldrama

entrance.

The man, cloaked in a black suit and coat, was barely visible in the dim light.

He stood there like a statue, his cold and malicious gaze fixed upon the two people.

“Mr. Gatsby.”

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Scarlett’s face paled instantly.

She had no time to ponder why Sebastian was present; instead, she nestled her head further into

Dev’s embrace.

She had assumed he wouldn’t be able to see her in this state, yet she was unaware that his cold gaze

was fixed upon her.

Dev instantly recognized that Sebastian had arrived with malicious intent, yet he was unaware of the

source of his malice.

“Mr. Jackman, what do you mean by this?”

He did not appear to have done anything to upset Sebastian, so why did he dispatch so many

bodyguards to encircle them? Sebastian, striding out with his long legs, walked steadily towards the

two of them. As he lowered his eyebrows, he saw Scarlett standing there, naked.

His exquisite, three–dimensional face instantly took on a malicious hue, and even his peach–blossom

eyes were as cold as a sharp sword

“Give her to me.”

He held Scarlett tightly in his arms, his gaze fixed upon her, not stirring an inch.

Dev, being a man, naturally understood the meaning of that gaze.

He tightly embraced Scarlett and stepped back, his gaze filled with possessiveness.

Mr. Jackman, what is the nature of your connection with her? Why do you wish for me to give her to

you?

Sebastian sneered, his indifferent peach–blossom eyes lazily sweeping over Scarlett.

“Do you want to go with him or with me?”

He refused to answer Dev’s question, offering Scarlett a choice instead.

Scarlett’s heart almost leapt out of her throat as she was stared at by those peach–blossom eyes

She had not anticipated that Sebastian had come to the hotel in search of her, though she had

assumed he was there for some purpose.

Scarlett was at a loss, her gaze towards him confused.

Sebastian had never divulged her relationship with him to anyone before now.

He had declared that he would never come looking for her again, yet there he was, standing before

her.

He… What was wrong with him?

“Mr. Jackman, she is unfamiliar with you. Consequently, she won’t accompany you.”

Dev held her tightly, as if wanting to meld her into his body.

He had already vaguely surmised the connection between the two, yet he was unwilling to delve further

into it. He was afraid that, upon deep reflection, the burden would be too much to bear, so he simply

feigned ignorance. Scarlett, having sensed Dev’s uneasiness, snapped out of her daze.

“Mr. Jackman, I apologize, I cannot accompany you.”

Dey had just been injured, and she wanted to accompany him to the hospital for treatment, so she

bravely declined Sebastian’s offer.
