After a night of chaos between the Ashfords and Hart families, Stephanie, on the other hand, had a peaceful night’s sleep.

She was up early, originally planning to head to her studio, but instead, Sebastian brought her to the hospital.

Confused, she asked, “Why does Mrs. Blackwood want to see me?”

Mrs. Blackwood–the elderly woman who had helped Sebastian at the hospital before–had called him last night, saying she. wanted to meet Stephanie.

So here they were.

Sebastian shrugged. “She probably likes you.”

“Huh? We’ve only met twice. Don’t tell me she’s trying to set me up with her grandson?”

After all, when older ladies took a liking to a girl, that was usually the reason.

Sebastian chuckled and playfully pinched her cheek. “If that were the case, do you think I’d have brought you here?”

Stephanie fell silent.

‘Okay, fair point.

It reminded her of when she was fifteen or sixteen in Fiorenza–back when elite families practically lined up at the door of the Giovannis estate, eager to secure an engagement with her.

They couldn’t dream of marrying into the direct Giovannis line, so they set their sights on her instead.

Too bad Sebastian had turned them all away, saying she was too young.

Back then, she was indeed too young. But now?

She glanced at Sebastian, deep in thought.

As the car pulled up, Sebastian said, “Let Elliot go with you.”

“Got it.”

She had already noticed there was a driver with them today, which meant Elliot had other plans.

So Elliot was just here to escort her to see Mrs. Blackwood.

As Elliot stepped out and respectfully opened the car door for her, Stephanie glanced at Sebastian. “Alright, I’m going.”

“Wait.”

Just as she was about to step out, Sebastian’s deep voice stopped her. There was a subtle tension in his tone, something restrained.

She turned back. “What is it?”

Before she could react, Sebastian pulled her back into the car. With her back against the door, he reached toward her chest.

Stephanie instantly froze, every muscle in her body tensing up.
