Chapter 85

Anyway, Stephanie felt like Chris was completely clueless, and so was everyone around him.

Useless, the lot of them.

A 66–year–old guy? Seriously, where did they even dig up that info?

“Didn’t you say you’d be back in two hours? You’re early.”

She’d called him earlier, and he’d told her to go to bed without him.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Are you losing all self–control at night now?”

Stephanie blinked, “Huh?”

“You’re a grown woman. Don’t you worry about gaining weight? Eating so much.”

He was actually concerned she’d make herself sick. That’s why he’d rushed back.

Stephanie’s lips twitched. “You came back just for that?”

“Is that not a good enough reason?”

Stephanie was speechless.

More than enough!

“Well, I haven’t been eating properly before,” she mumbled.

Sebastian hummed in question:

“Nothing, never mind.”

She quickly buried her face in his chest, not daring to say another word.

“Hmm?”

“When are we going back to Fiorenza?”

This city was annoying. She hated it here.

“There are still a few things to take care of. If they’re bothering you, I’ll have Elliot deal with them.”

Sebastian’s voice lost some of its tenderness when he mentioned Elliot taking care of things.

His precious girl, being bullied like this… Hmph.

The next few days, Stephanie was busy with her studio, and Catlin kept dodging the lawyer.
