CELINE’S POV

I didn’t wait for Sebastian to open the door for me and got out of the car as soon as he pulled up in front of the Lauren mansion.

“It’s Miss Celine! She’s back!” Nadia greeted me in a respectful manner as she bowed her head down, and I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at her for being so courteous to me; nevertheless, she paid no heed to me and instead focused her attention on my husband.” Good evening, Mr. Anderson…”

“Is Celine back?” I overheard Julio’s words as he hastily exited the dining room with a broad smile on his lips.

“Dad!” Sebastian offered him a friendly smile while I remained silent and didn’t say anything to him. I didn’t even bother to give my father a glance as I leisurely explored the estate on my own accord.

Through the periphery of my vision, I was able to make out that Julig was looking at me as if he was waiting for me to greet him.

“Celine, you’re back!” The living room echoed with Sasha’s irritating voice and I rolled my eyes at their over-the-top antics. “Seb, I see that you’re also present. Come, let’s eat dinner. I got word that both of you are going to show up, so we have been getting ready since this morning…”

Julio put his arm around Sebastian’s shoulder and led him to the dining room while Sasha h ooked her arm around mine and whispered, “Are you feeling better now? I’ve been wanting to visit you, but I got a cold recently. It wasn’t exactly convenient in any way. I was afraid I’d infect you…”
