Chapter 128

After all, Chris had met Sebastian several times and still remembered his appearance.

If he were to realize at this point that Sebastian was the Lucano family’s heir, Stephanie couldn’t imagine what would happen.

She glanced at Sebastian, her eyes sparkling like stars. “Sebastian, are you going to meet Mr. Ashford?”

Sebastian replied with a smile, “Do you want me to meet him?”

Stephanie nodded. “He’s a good man.”

To Stephanie, Fred was a man of integrity and principle.

She had always admired him, especially after hearing of his accomplishments in his youth.

And two years ago, when her engagement to Chris was suddenly announced, Fred had vehemently opposed it, chastising Grace and the Harts.

He was right to be angry–they hadn’t even consulted Stephanie, the person directly involved.

Sebastian smiled warmly, reaching out to ruffle her hair. “You go to Macro first.”

Hearing that, Stephanie’s heart gave a nervous flutter.

She already knew what Macro was going to do.

She hesitantly hooked her finger around Sebastian’s.

He chuckled softly. “Afraid?”

She shook her head. “No, not at all. You go

first.”

Her words said otherwise, but she was clearly afraid.

For years, whenever she fell ill, she would only take medicine, refusing injections.

She was even more scared of needless than a kid would be.

Perhaps it stemmed from her childhood, when she had been sickly, prone to colds, especially in winter.

Sebastian could remember that day, when he came back from school, Stephanie was sleeping soundly.

He wanted to hug her, only to find that she was running a fever, rushed to get the doctor to give her a shot.

Children who were sickly in their youth often grew up to be remarkably healthy.

If not for that kidnapping incident, her legs would never have ended up in their current state.

Sebastian’s gaze softened. He clasped her small hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze. “Go ahead. I’ll be there soon.”

“Okay,” she replied.

But she really didn’t want to take acupuncture.

She cast one last pleading look at Sebastian.
