76. PER VERT
CELINE’s POV
Sebastian’s eyes were crinkled in a faint smile when he pulled away. You don’t mind, do you?”
“How dare you!” I wanted to give him a slap on the face, so I raised my hand to do so.
However, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer to him instead. As a result, my face brushed up against his chest, and the aroma of his perfume mixed with his masculine scent lingered in my nostrils, causing me to shut my eyes.
“I thought you didn’t mind?” he let out a chuckle, making me open my eyes. “What are you so angry about?”
I looked up at him and my body trembled in anger. “I’m your cousin’s girlfriend! Have you lost your mind?”
These siblings were both per verts!
A cold smile flashed across his eyes as he said, “Celine… you have provoked me right from the very start. Do you believe that I will be able to hold my ground while you become Jake’s woman?”
I stared at him in shock, my eyes flaring wide open.
“I am more handsome, gorgeous, and more attractive than my cousin …” He gave me a wicked grin as he pinched my chin. “I’ll bet, there’s no way you could argue with that…”
When I started laughing uncontrollably, he wrinkled his brows.
“What are you laughing at?” He asked in a calm manner, but there was a trace of anger in his voice.

I got on my tiptoes, grabbed the bottom of the black shirt he was wearing, and pulled him in closer to me. This time around, I was the one who teased him and whispered things into his ear. “You’re
jealous of your cousin, aren’t you…?”
“Jealous…?” He repeated the word, and looked at me with a raised
eyebrow.
“In any case, would you mind providing me with a more detailed explanation of what you’re doing?” I leaned against the crook of his neck and there was a trace of laughter in my breath that made him stiffen. “But I’m sorry, Mr. Anderson… Unfortunately… I don’t like you!”
I gasped when he suddenly pulled me by the waist. His movements were so strong that I felt extremely uncomfortable.
I looked up at him with dissatisfaction but stunned when I noticed the look he was giving me, and then I heard him chuckle at my reaction. You don’t like me?”
I let out a lopsided smile, despite the uncomfortable situation. “Mr. Anderson… you really think that all women in New York fall into your charms?”

But the smile in his eyes didn’t fade a bit. “Oh… so you think I have a charming personality?”
Hearing this, my lips curved with sarcasm. “You really don’t have a good memory, Mr. Anderson… I’ve told you that you… are not good in that aspect.”
“Really?” I shrieked when I was hoisted off my feet and he carried me bridal style, dashing towards the staircase. “Then let’s reenact the whole thing! Just don’t moan my name, okay?”
My eyes widened when I realized what he was going to do to me.
“Hey! What are you doing?” I said in a commanding tone, carefully

controlling my volume in anticipation that another person might overhear us. “Put me down!”
And at that moment, we heard footsteps coming down the stairs, at which point Sebastian quickly hid behind a wall while lowering me to the ground in a controlled manner.
“I will never let you marry my cousin…” he groaned in my ear before pecking my lips and vanishing as he opened a door that was situated beneath the stairwell.
“Good morning, Celine…!” I jumped when I heard Jake’s voice, and I looked up to see him at the bottom of the stairs.
G-good morning…” I responded with a smile while looking down at the ground to hide the redness that was starting to appear on my face as a result of what Sebastian had done to me.
“Have you eaten your breakfast yet?”
“Nope… Not yet… but I…”
“Jake!” Mr. Anderson suddenly yelled as he emerged from the kitchen. “Oh… you’re still here, Celine?” He appeared perplexed and was staring at me in a suspicious manner.
“Uhmm, yeah…” I managed to wear an awkward smile. “I…I’m going up now… I’m going to wake Cynthia up for school.”
“Okay…” Mr. Anderson said, turning his attention back to his nephew.” Jake, there’s something I need to discuss with you. C’mon!”
Jake was guided to the kitchen by the old man as he put his arm around the younger man’s shoulder.
I let out a sigh of relief as I finally made my way upstairs.
When I got back to Cynthia’s room, found her sitting on the bed and laughing while she was having a facetime with someone. But as soon

as she glanced in my direction, a frown formed on her face.
“You haven’t left yet?” She exploded, and I just stared at her with a dumbfounded expression and didn’t say anything in response to what
she said.
I walked over immediately and sat down on the pink sofa, my expression being particularly gloomy as I did so. After that, I caught a glimpse of the spoiled brat looking at me in a bewildered manner out of the corner of my eye.
She ended the call, got off the bed, and came to stand in front of me with both hands resting on her hips. “Hey! Why don’t you just get up and leave? What keeps you hanging around here?”
I was able to hear her, but my thoughts were preoccupied with something else.
“Hey! I’m talking to you! Are you dumb?”
Despite this, I had my gaze fixed on the ground and was not payin attention to what the girl was saying.
“Hello? Have you lost your hearing or something?”
When I did finally look up, my eyes rolled as I stared at her. “Haven’t you learned your lesson about keeping your mouth shut?”
After a brief period in which she appeared to be stunned, she
eventually opened her mouth to speak. “You… Why are you shouting at me? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed? And hey! Who told you to wear my clothes? Throw that in the bin after!”
“Cynthia Anderson!” I groaned, standing up in front of her. “Go, and take a quick shower! Prepare to have breakfast and then go to school!’
“What?” she was shocked. As if going to school was some sort of a big crime. “Are you crazy? I won’t be attending class today! I’m going
