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 was speechless.

Sebastian hummed in question:

“When are we going back to Fiorenza?”

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.
