Scarlett's POV
"Did you know that-"
"Sebastian! Sorry about the farce..." Ava's pitiful yet bright voice cut off my pronunciation class. | pull my wrist
hard and of course this the letsgo.
"Scarlett," Ava calls afterand | almost tremble at her voice. | take a deep breath and turn to look at her. She
glances at Sebastian timidly before she hooks her fingers: "I'm sorry | made a fuss about it. | shouldn't have told
you about your mom, and | hurt you. | deserve losing my room if that could make up for anything...anyways,
what I'm trying to say is, welchome."
"Yeah, sure, whatever," | mumble as | go and sit at the furthest seat.
Ava stares at me, a bit surprised. I'm not arguing with her nor trying to expose her lie out of guilt, yes. But |
wouldn't have anyways even if | didn't break that doll. Like | told her in the hospital, the Fullers are HER family,
and the Romeo over there is HER prince charming. | know better now than to demand "fair" from her army.
Ava lets out a "relieved sigh", turning to Sebastian with a shy smile: "Thank God you are here, or | wouldn't be

Even my silence can be her weapon of staining my name.
| look at Ava calmly, doesn't even have the urge to expose her anymore. She made the cocoon of lies herself,
and the more she is trapped, the more she has to lie just to cover it up. She can makelook as bad as
possible in front of these people, but in the end, it's her heart that those lies are burning a hole through, not
mine.
"If you don't want fights with Scar, then just keep your distance," Sebastian says, adding when he sees Ava's
pout because he is not taking her side fully today, "I will try to keep her away from you, too."
"She already-" Ava blurts, only to purse her lips, glaring at me.
She already took my room! That's Ava's line. She said half, only to realize that her complaint just might push
Sebastian to work harder on "takinghome", and that was never what she wanted. She just wanted his pity
and his attention.
| almost burst into laughter.
"You can sit with your dad," Sebastian pulls out the chair right next to the main seat of the long table, hinting
Ava, "furthest from Scar. | think this way the dinner would be safer."
Ava gloats atwhere Sebastian can't see. And with an enjoying smirk, she sits down on the seat he pulled out
for her.
Isn't she tired? Controlling her facial expression to the extrjust to act in front of him AND to flash
me???
"Where are you going?" Ava grabs Sebastian's sleeve when he is not sitting down next to her, but turning to
leave.
"still like a little girl," Sebastian smiles, but | don't hear the spoiling in his tone like usual, "I'm going to help

| raise my eyebrows so high that I'm sure they have disappeared in my hair. Seriously? Sebastian Knight? Helping
with dinner? He has NEVER cooked, in the five years that we were married - actually, | have never seen him cook
in my whole life. That was the one skill I thought | had an upper hand against the perfect prince.

Now | see. He cooks. He just doesn't cook for me.
"Daddy..." Ava jumps up and clings to Jack Fuller's arm, hugging him tightly, "My stuff-"
"How much do you need?" Jack Fuller sees through Ava's intention, "Just give the final number when you are
done redecorating."
"Thanks! Love you the most, Daddy!" Ava cheers, making a face atfrom behind Jack Fuller.
As much as | hate Jack Fuller, | can't deny that | envy her. | don't want Jack Fuller to treatfairly or shine love
on me. | have given that up a decade ago.
But | can't help but wonder what my dad would be like. Would he also see through my act and spoilwhen |

"Not that I'm jealous, but maybe not stare at an old guy with a beer belly like that?" Sebastian suddenly appears
behind me. | turn to look, only to have my cheek bump into something freezing cold.
He chuckles at my reaction and puts it by my hand - a cup of ice coke.
"What's this?" | push it away with a finger, glaring at him as he pulls out the chair next to mine and sits down, ©
