“Do you think Rebecca’s got something against me?” Sebastian grumbled, his brows still knit tight, obviously not over what just happened.

Max just kept quiet.

The answer was so freaking obvious, he didn’t even bother saying it. ‘Does anyone here actually need me to spell it out?‘ Max thought.

“I’m talking to you, Max. Seriously?” Sebastian snapped, clearly annoyed. “Cat got your tongue?”

“You really want me to answer that?” Max shot back.

Sebastian was left speechless.

He was so pissed he stormed out.

“This brat never says anything decent,‘ Sebastian muttered to himself.

“Your dad gets on my nerves, and now you too,” Sebastian snapped. “You two just wanna make my life miserable, don’t you?”

“Whether Rebecca likes you or not really comes down to whether you’ve actually settled the score with my mom,” Max said, ever the straight shooter–he was never one for flattery. “The Quinns always look out for their own, so it’s only natural Rebecca cares about all that went down with my mom.”

Just hearing that made Sebastian’s mood tank even further.

He shot Max a heated glare. “With that sharp tongue of yours, don’t count on ever landing yourself a wife.”

Max just stared at him, lost for words.

“Whatever, if she doesn’t want to call me, fine. I’ve got all the time in the world,” Sebastian muttered.

“The most important people always make their grand entrance last,” Max said after thinking it over for a bit. “What you really oughta be thinking about is–who’s she gonna call first, you, or Mr. Guzman?”

Sebastian paused.

His eyes darted over Max a couple of times.

‘He’s got a point!‘ Sebastian thought.

“Let’s go,” Max said casually. “Peter’s over there, and if he decides to give Oliver a hard time, even I might struggle to deal with it.”

“He wouldn’t dare!” Sebastian snapped.
