Sebastian had promised to be back in two hours, and true to his word, he returned to the Shallow Bay Area right on time.

Initially, Stephanie had felt too tired and wanted to sleep, but thoughts of Ella’s situation kept her on edge. So when Sebastian came back, she was still awake, waiting anxiously.

Sebastian took off his coat and walked over. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”

“Waiting for you,” Stephanie mumbled.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “What’s going on?” He could tell something was bothering her. She loved her sleep too much to stay up for no reason.

“It’s about Ella. She’s really scared of Lorenzo. You might need to send someone to pick her up, Stephanie replied.

Sebastian asked, “Did she say she’s scared?”

“Yeah.” Stephanie nodded. Now that Ella had opened up first, Stephanie felt even more committed to helping. After all, Ella was one of her few true friends who had always been there for her during the issues at the Hart residence.

“I’ll give Lorenzo a call,” Sebastian said and took out his phone.

He thought, ‘There’s no need to send someone. If Ella doesn’t want to be with Lorenzo, just have him drop her off at Stephanie’s villa.

‘Besides, he’s always been a loner; he probably doesn’t even like having her around to bother him.‘

The call connected quickly. Lorenzo’s voice came through. “Hello.”

“How’s Ella?” Sebastian asked.

“She’s doing fine.”

“She’s scared of you?”

There was a brief silence on Lorenzo’s end.

Stephanie frowned slightly. ‘Couldn’t Sebastian be gentle? Ella is still with Lorenzo right now; is it really okay for Sebastian to be so direct?‘

Lorenzo finally replied, “Is there anything she’s not scared of?”

Stephanie was at a loss for words.

Sebastian said, “If she doesn’t want to stay with you, then send her to Stefi’s villa small manor at Mount Red, which was huge and had three manors in total.

Lorenzo responded, “She can’t go to Mount Red right now.”

“Why not?” Sebastian asked.
