Chapter 138

Chapter 138

When Elliot, Macro, and Lorenzo arrived, they saw Stephanie sitting across from Sebastian like a child who had just been scolded.

Her head was lowered, and she looked utterly pitiful.

Macro stepped forward. “Why are you lecturing her again? She’s already grown up.”

Sebastian shot him a cold glance.

Macro instantly shut up.

Great. This guy hated it when anyone tried to speak up for Stefi during his scoldings. Macro gave her a look that said, You’re

on your own.

Seeing the newcomers, Stephanie lowered her head even more, too afraid to look up.

Lorenzo gave her a tug. “Go sit next to your brother.”

Stephanie didn’t move.

Earlier, she thought it was just her and Sebastian, so she sat across from him.

Lorenzo, seeing her frozen in place, didn’t dare sit beside her either.

Anyone who tried to sit next to Stephanie always ended up facing Sebastian’s terrifying expression. No thanks.

“Just say a couple of words and be done with it. She’s not a kid anymore,”

Lorenzo added, attempting to help her out.

She looked so scared she didn’t even dare move in her seat.

Sebastian’s voice was low. “Come here.”

Stephanie seemed submissive and silent.

From that tone, he was definitely mad.

Was it because she kissed him earlier?

Had she crossed a line?

Feeling guilty and helpless, she hesitantly got up and moved to sit beside him.

Dishes were served.

Sebastian and Lorenzo started talking.

Lorenzo asked, “What do you plan to do once you find Lancelot?”

Since Lancelot had dared to provoke the Lucano family, there was no way Sebastian would let this slide.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly and placed a piece of cured meat into Stefi’s small bowl. “Eat first.”

Lorenzo instinctively glanced at Stephanie.
