Lorenzo watched as Ella leaned her head against his knee, her small face buried in his lap and tears soaking his pants. At that moment, he seriously considered throwing Ella out of the car.

“Women are such a pain,” he muttered, annoyance creeping into his voice. He couldn’t help but think about how Stephanie was also a crybaby and wonder how Sebastian had put up with it.

Lorenzo gently picked Ella up and moved her to the seat. Noticing her clothes were a mess, he felt much more frustrated. He took off his jacket and draped it over her.

Meanwhile, in Long Harbor, Sebastian had just coaxed Stephanie to bed.

It was especially cold that night, with the warmth of the heater inside contrasting sharply with the snowy view outside. Stephanie sat by the bay window, refusing to go to bed, and Sebastian eventually ended up carrying her to her room.

Stephanie complained, “You won’t let me go out and play, and now I can’t even look outside?” She absolutely loved the snow.

Sebastian replied, “You need to get more sleep.” Both Macro and the lady doctor had said that Stephanie needed rest to recover faster.

Stephanie pouted, “But I’ve already slept a lot during the day, and now I can’t fall asleep at all.”

“I know,” Sebastian said.

Stephanie was confused. ‘You know? Then why are you making me go to bed?‘

Sebastian glanced down at her confused expression, a sly smile creeping across his lips.

Stephanie felt a twinge of unease at his smile. “No, I don’t want to.”

Noticing her strong reaction, Sebastian playfully flicked her forehead. “You silly girl, what’s going on in that head of yours?”

Stephanie gasped internally. “That’s not what I thought he meant? Why was he smiling at me like that? It was really unsettling.

Ever since the barriers between them had dropped, Sebastian had become a bit too shameless around her. In her mind, he used to be a perfect gentleman, but she had witnessed his ruthless side, and lately, it seemed he had no limits when it came. to intimacy.

Sebastian gently placed her on the bed and turned to grab some medicine. “I’ll put this on first.”
