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.

Stephanie jerked away, slapping his hand. She thought, ‘Is this guy for real? I really want to scream at him. Seriously, why did he have to bring that up?‘

Macro laughed, glancing at Stephanie and then at Sebastian. “Sebastian, you gotta be gentler with her,” he said.

The moment Macro finished speaking, he yelped, grabbing his leg.

Marco was stunned, wondering what happened.

Before he could say anything, Sebastian gave him a cold look. “What are you doing here?”

But Sebastian’s voice was like ice. “There’s nothing here you like.”

Macro looked at the spread of food. “Who says I don’t like it? I love it.”

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.
