After work.

Sebastian walked out of the office while holding Stephanie’s hand.

His presence was sharp and imposing, which was a stark contrast to Stephanie’s soft demeanor.

It created a heartwarming visual impact.

As soon as the two entered the elevator, some colleagues whispered behind Jennifer, ‘Is that Miss Giovanni’s boyfriend?”

“He looks much better than Mr. Ashford and even treats her well too.”

“Come on, don’t make things up. I think that’s her brother.”

Hearing their conversation, Jennifer remembered that Stephanie had addressed Sebastian as her brother before.

“Well, even if he’s her brother, having someone like him around means Mr. Ashford will get what’s coming to him for bullying Miss Giovanni.”

Jennifer said, “He already has!”

She doubted that anyone else in Long Harbor dared to lay hands on Chris.

The Ashford family had run rampant in the city for years.

No one else would dare–but Sebastian certainly would. Serves him right!

And then there was Tyler.

As expected, he was a terrible person. Not only was he incapable of distinguishing between close and distant relationships, but he was also keeping a mistress while trying to marry a rich heiress.

Jennifer felt that he had checked every box on the scumbag list.

Stephanie and Sebastian returned to Whispering Bay together.

As soon as they entered, Stephanie caught a whiff of spicy food. In that split second, she immediately let go of Sebastian’s hand and ran toward the dining room.

As Sebastian felt his hand empty and looked at Stephanie’s cheerful back, the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Elliot, who was following behind him, said, “Her appetite has improved a lot lately.”

Elliot had done their research before coming here

Stephanie usually didn’t eat much.

The only time she had a proper meal was when Ella took her out for spicy food. Otherwise, her eating schedule was irregular as she often skipped meals.

“A good appetite is a blessing,” replied Sebastian.

As he spoke, his gentle gaze remained fixed on Stephanie.
