Chapter 114

Daring dinner, Stephanie had barely finished her first bowl when Sebastian signaled for the staff to take her plate away.

She looked at him, full of grievance. “Sebastian…”

Her big, pleading eyes were practically begging for merey.

Sebastian raised a brow. “Funny, you riever eat this obediently in the morning.”

It was true. She had terrible eating habits–barely touching breakfast, eating decently at lunch, but come nighttime, her appetite would suddenly skyrocket.
