Chapter 404

Sebastian had promised to be back in two hours, and true to his word, he returned to the Shallow Bay Area right on time.

Initially, Stephanie had felt too tired and wanted to sleep, but thoughts of Ella’s situation kept her on edge. So when Sebastian came back, she was still awake, waiting anxiously.

Sebastian took off his coat and walked over. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Waiting for you,” Stephanie mumbled.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?” He could tell something was bothering her. She loved her sleep too much to stay up for no reason.

“It’s about Ella. She’s really scared of Lorenzo. You might need to send someone to pick her up, Stephanie replied.

Sebastian asked, “Did she say she’s scared?”

“Yeah.” Stephanie nodded. Now that Ella had opened up first, Stephanie felt even more committed to helping. After all, Ella was one of her few true friends who had always been there for her during the issues at the Hart residence.

“I’ll give Lorenzo a call,” Sebastian said and took out his phone.

He thought, “There’s no need to send someone. If Ella doesn’t want to be with Lorenzo, just have him drop her off at Stephanie’s villa.

‘Besides, he’s always been a loner; he probably doesn’t even like having her around to bother him.

The call connected quickly. Lorenzo’s voice came through. “Hello.”
