Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 133

The word “why” echoed in the air.

Stephanie nuzzled against his chest, murmuring, “Because I like Sebastian…”

Her words echoed, each repetition hammering into Sebastian’s heart like a thunderclap rolling over distant mountains.

His pupils contracted as a wave of emotion surged within him.

“Do you like your brother, or do you like Sebastian?”

His deep, magnetic voice was unreadable–so neutral that even a sober person might struggle to discern his emotions, let alone Stephanie, who was already half–asleep.

However, this time, Sebastian didn’t hear her answer.

A few seconds passed before he glanced down and saw that her lips slightly open, her breathing soft and even.

Her small, pale fingers, which had clung so tightly to his shirt, had loosened their grip.

She had fallen asleep.

Sebastian looked at her flushed little face, a helpless smile tugged at his lips.

He carried her upstairs and laid her gently on the bed. Just as he was tucking her in, she stirred, her drowsy eyes hazy with sleep.

“Sebastian,” she mumbled.

“What is it?”

“Hold me,” she whined, her voice laced with quiet grievance. “Hold me all the time.”

“Alright,” he murmured.

Looking into her aggrieved eyes, Sebastian couldn’t refuse her. He sat down on the edge of the bed, pulling her into his

arms.

He was afraid that she would catch a cold after drinking, so he wrapped her up in the blanket.

He brushed a kiss against her forehead. “Be good, go to sleep.”

For a moment, it felt like they had returned to their childhood.

When she was a child, Stephanie had clung to him the same way, refusing to sleep without his presence.

If he had school, she would wait for him.

Through junior high, high school, even college, Sebastian had come home every night for her sake.

The distance to his school had been far, Mrs. Lucano felt sorry for Sebastian and wanted him to live closer. As a result, he had taken Stephanie with him, hiring help to look after her in the house opposite the school.

It wasn’t until Stephanie needed to attend school that they moved back together.

Now, as Sebastian gazed at her red lips, his throat tightened, and his eyes darkened with something deeper.
