Sebastian finally felt his nerves loosen up. All the way here, he’d been worrying she might turn him down, considering how tense things were when they first met.

Luckily, she took it.

Upstairs, Amelia watched everything unfold, a warm glimmer surfacing in her eyes.

‘Rebecca’s got my stubborn streak for sure,‘ Amelia thought. ‘Once she sets her mind on something, she’s impossible to budge. Still, now and then, a girl needs to learn to soften up and accept things as they come.

‘Good thing she finally worked it out, Amelia sighed in relief.

“Not going to open it up?” Sebastian asked, a little uncertain.

Rebecca hesitated for a second. She thought it’d be kinda awkward to unwrap a present with everyone watching, but since he insisted, she shrugged and went ahead.

The box was sandalwood, solid and refined in her hands.

As soon as she lifted the lid, Sebastian’s heart started pounding all over again. “So? What do you think–do you like it?”

Rebecca frowned as she looked inside. “What’s this?”

“It’s an office building,” Sebastian said, totally casual. “Honestly, I had no idea what kind of gift to get you, so after thinking long and hard, I landed on this. Just collect rent and you’ll be raking in tens of millions every year.”

Rebecca was speechless.

Jessica was also speechless.

Sebastian kept talking, “It’s not downtown, but that area’s about to explode in the next couple years. Whether you want to sell it or just sit back and play landlord, it’s your call.”

“This is really overwhelming,” Rebecca admitted, honestly stunned by how extravagant the gift was.

“No, not at all,” Sebastian replied, his eyes growing misty with emotion. “This was always meant for you–you deserve it.”

‘If only I hadn’t been so foolish, caring too much about my pride back then… Amelia never would have been forced to leave, he thought, heart heavy with regret.

Worried Rebecca might turn him down, Sebastian quickly switched gears and looked over at Ryan. “You didn’t show up empty–handed, did you?”
