Chapter 85

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

“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.

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

“Is that not a good enough reason?”

Stephanie was speechless.

Sebastian hummed in question:

“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.
