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

“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.
