Chapter 159

At the breakfast table, Stephanie kept her head down, staring at her plate. Elliot was there, along with the butler.

She still couldn’t wrap her head around how things had changed between her and Sebastian. But Sebastian had already made sure everyone knew.

The dining room was so quiet that Stephanie could almost hear her own heartbeat.

After a while, Macro walked in. Seeing him, Stephanie ducked her head even lower.

Macro plopped down next to her. “Stefi, you actually behave today. What’s the occasion?”

He sounded amused. “Why are you wearing a scarf during breakfast? It’s so warm here. Let me help you with that,” he said, reaching for her scarf.

Sebastian glanced at him. “You don’t.”

Macro was confused, wondering, ‘What? I just said I did. What does he mean?‘

He felt another chill run down his spine. “Did I say something wrong again?”

Sebastian didn’t respond.
