Chapter 218

Sebastian took the blanket off Stephanie’s head and gently pinched her cheek.

Stephanie gave her a resentful look. “Didn’t the doctor say I…”

“Yeah, he did.” Sebastian nodded.

“Then why did you still…” Stephanie accused, her voice trailing off. Even though Sebastian hadn’t actually done anything to her, his demeanor–like he might devour her at any moment–still frightened her.

Before, there was an invisible barrier between them, and she had all sorts of expectations for him. It even felt like she could never clearly see the future. Suddenly, they were together, and she finally realized how wild he was.

Stephanie asked, “Are you going out?”

“Yeah, I’ll be back in two hours,” Sebastian replied. The way he emphasized the time felt like a husband letting his wife know his plans, which warmed Stephanie’s heart.

After Sebastian left, her phone buzzed. It was Ella. she answered right away and said, “Ella, do you still have the energy to check out the gossip now?”

So much had happened in just a few hours. Lorenzo had mentioned that Ella was so scared she fainted, and yet, even all the way in Fiorenza, she had the energy to follow the Long Harbor drama.
