Reborn to my engagement night by Baxter Walters

Chapter 196 A Monumental Misunderstanding

“When Mrs. Lockhart went out just now, she got into a car and met with someone…”

Upon seeing the text message, Sebastian’s expression slightly darkened. He immediately texted back: Follow the car. Find out who that person is.

Malcolm texted: Yes.

After setting down his phone, Sebastian gazed at the indistinct figure in the bathroom, lost in thought.

The next afternoon, the young couple finally boarded their return flight. As Madelyn looked at the clouds outside the window, she felt very content.

Four hours later, the plane touched down. It was already dark.

The driver had been waiting outside the airport for quite some time, ready to pick them up. Upon seeing the two of them, he immediately rushed over to help with their luggage.

Another half an hour passed. Finally, the two of them successfully made it back to Lockhart Villa.

However, they didn’t expect to see Marsha sitting on the living room couch when they entered the villa.

At that moment, Lydia was bringing Marsha a cup of tea. “Madam, please have some tea.”

In a fit of anger, Marsha knocked over her teacup. “Get out of my sight!”

The teacup shattered on the floor, leaving fragments scattered about. Lydia was at a loss, unsure of what had upset Marsha. Ever since Marsha arrived home in the evening, she had been in a foul mood. Lydia didn’t dare to ask what had caused it. She could only mutter an apology while she cleaned up the mess.

After picking up the shattered teacup, Lydia obediently stepped aside. As she turned around, she suddenly exclaimed, “Mr. Lockhart, Mrs. Lockhart!”

Sebastian and Madelyn stood at the door watching the scene, equally perplexed.

At that moment, Marsha abruptly turned around, catching sight of the young couple. Almost immediately, she rushed over to them.

After thoroughly examining Sebastian’s hands, Marsha anxiously asked, “Sebastian, are you all right? I heard you were hurt. Where was the injury?”
