The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress

Chapter 375

Today, Sebastian's look was all understated college student-jeans, a plain shirt, nothing fancy. He still carried that subtle air of aloofness, a distant cool that kept strangers at arm's length, but it didn't feel hostile or unsettling.

The last time she'd seen him, though, he'd been a completely different person. There was something icy and intimidating about him then, from the way he moved to the way he looked at people-like someone used to being in charge, radiating a suffocating sense of authority.

How could the same man seem like two utterly different people?

Right now, Sebastian had slipped back into the easygoing manner Citrine remembered from before-and oddly, he seemed to have no recollection of what had happened between them last time.

Citrine stayed quiet for a moment, making a point not to mention what had just occurred. She looked at him and asked, her voice calm, "So, what brings you here?"

Sebastian didn't seem to notice anything off about her. He just replied, "I had some things to take care of at school."

Then, as if eager to change the subject, he quickly added, "But it won't take long. Are you free tonight? Maybe we could go out for a walk?"

"Sure," Citrine said breezily. She had no intention of missing this chance-she still had no idea what secrets he was hiding.
