Stephanie looked at Sebastian with eager eyes.

He gently pinched her cheek. “I think you should stay away from Macro. You are as insane as him.” He checked her temperature again, compared it with his own, and confirmed she wasn’t running a fever. She was just talking nonsense.

“What about Ella?”

Sebastian thought for a moment and finally said, “Don’t worry, Lorenzo won’t do anything to her.”

“But Ella is really scared of him.” The image of Ella crying on the phone flashed through Stephanie’s mind, making her a bit worried.

Lorenzo was as cold as ice. Ella seemed brave before, but that was when everything was calm and safe. The things she had been through recently had really frightened her. Stephanie also knew well that with Lorenzo’s temperament, he definitely wouldn’t comfort Ella.

“It’s rare for Lorenzo to get involved in other people’s business.”

“Huh? What do you mean?” She looked at Sebastian, confused and not understanding.

Sebastian was frustrated. “This should probably now be considered a personal matter between Lorenzo and Ella.”

Stephanie couldn’t figure out his meaning.

Seeing her still looking puzzled, Sebastian sighed, “We’re leaving the day after tomorrow.”

“Really?” As soon as Stephanie heard they were leaving, she got interested. She didn’t want to stay in Long Harbor any longer. Going back would be great because it meant no more of these annoying problems.

Even though she was pretty much done with the Hart family, these people–even Catlin–kept coming to her, clearly hoping to benefit from her connections.

All these years, no matter how much they looked down on her and called her a country bumpkin, she never mentioned anything about Fiorenza to them.

That was because she saw their true colors. People like that, if they were smiling, it was mostly because they wanted to take advantage. She didn’t care about fake friendliness.

Sebastian replied, “Yeah, things are pretty much handled.” He nodded, his tone fond.

Stephanie hugged his neck and gave Sebastian a kiss on the cheek. “It’s so good; I don’t want to stay here any longer.”

Just as she was about to snuggle back under the covers, he grabbed her waist. “Trying to run off after setting the fire?”

Stephanie wriggled in his arms. “What do you mean by setting a fire? I didn’t start any fire.” It was just one kiss; he was really easy to tease.
