Chapter 280 The Murderer

Joyce's fingers brushed against the scorching heat and she jerked back, startled. She shot him an annoyed look. "What the heck are you doing? Dad's still outside."

Sebastian pulled her close and kissed her forehead. "Did I freak you out? It's not like you haven't seen it before. It's been extra excited lately; must be missing you. Babe, how about tonight..."

She stood on tiptoe and kissed his chin.

'How much must Joyce love me to put up with all this?' Sebastian felt a bit moved.
