Chapter 100 Sebastian stood at the door.
Hearing Stephanie say she was tired, a subtle smile flashed across his eyes.
He glanced at his watch and said, “It's already nine o'clock." "I'm really exhausted. I want to sleep a little longer." "I'm coming in." Wait, what? Why is he coming in?! Stephanie panicked. "I'm getting up right now!" The moment she heard Sebastian was about to enter, Stephanie was flustered. She hurriedly pulled up the collar of her shirt, wrapping it tightly around her neck.
Sebastian reminded her, “Hurry up. Breakfast has been reheated several times already." "Got it." Inside the room, Stephanie felt like crying.
She rummaged through her wardrobe for a scarf but found that it was too small to cover the marks. In the end, she just grabbed a thick muffler and wrapped it tightly around her neck.
When she finally went downstairs, she saw Sebastian sitting on the sofa and working on sbusiness matters with a laptop on his lap.
Hearing her footsteps, Sebastian turned around and saw the dark circles under her eyes.
"You really didn't sleep well?" Stephanie responded with a hum.
With her heart racing all night, how could she possibly fall asleep? Judging from Sebastian's expression, Stephanie felt as if he had already forgotten everything that had happened after he got drunk.
The thought made her feel even more frustrated.
'It's a good thing he hadn't gone all the way with me. If he had and then forgotten everything, how would I even make him take responsibility?' Sebastian noticed the muffler around her neck. "Are you cold?" "No, not at all," Stephanie blurted out instinctively.
The moment the words left her mouth, she regretted them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSure enough, Sebastian immediately questioned, "If you're not cold, why are you bundling up like that?" The room was set to a constant temperature, so there was no need for extra layers.
Stephanie was at a loss for words.
1/4 94% (13) Chapter 100 Hearing these words, she pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer Sebastian Giovanni.
It's all because of you!' she thought.
When the butler saw Stephanie, he instructed the servants to bring out the freshly warmed breakfast.
Ignoring Sebastian's question, Stephanie went straight to the dining room.
She took a sip of the oatmeal and looked over at him, who was still seated in the living room.
"Aren't you heading out today?" "Not until later." "Oh." No wonder he was still here.
Sebastian closed his laptop and walked toward the dining room. He was tall-at least 1.9 meters-and those long, straight legs alone were enough to make one's heart race.
Stephanie knew just how much women adored him over the years.
However, his naturally cold aura kept most people at bay.
Of course, there were those who had tried drugging him before, but whatever consequences they faced afterward remained a mystery as they never appeared again.
Sebastian sat across from her, his gaze deep as he studied her.
Stephanie's heart skipped a beat. "Why are you looking atlike that?" -Sebastian asked, "Why are your lips swollen?" Stephanie's mind went blank, and she felt the blood rush through her body at an alarming speed.
'So, he really had forgotten everything?! How dare he have the nerve to ask why her lips were swollen?' Stephanie clutched her head in frustration. "Do you remember how you got back last night?" "Huh?" Stephanie felt silent as she realized that he had indeed lost his memories from last night. The thought made her want to pull her hair out.
Before she could say anything else, Sebastian suddenly reached over and pulled off her muffler.
The moment the cool air hit her exposed neck, Stephanie's heart stopped for a split second.
She instinctively reached out and tried to snatch the muffler back, but she accidentally fell right into Sebastian's arms in her haste.
At that moment, tstood still.
The butler and servants, reacting instantly, quickly made themselves scarce.
Everyone in the household knew there was no blood relation between Sebastian and Stephanie.

"What's with your neck?" he asked in a low voice.
Stephanie's heart skipped another bear, and she stammered Ch.

Another bug Stephanie nodded furiously. "Yes! Another bug What else could she say? She couldn't just outright tell him that he had been the one kissing her, right? He had been gentle at times, but he had also acted like a beast Just look at how he had even bitten her lips-she could still feel the sting of the broken skin Sebastian's fingers brushed over her swollen lips. This bug sure is impressive. It even managed to be here Stephanie's face burned uncontrollably.
Still flustered, she nodded again. "Yeah, it was really tough I couldn't even shake it off Sebastian tightened his grip around her waist. "You even tried to fight it off?" "I did," replied Stephanie.
She spoke with such seriousness, but in reality, she hadn't dared to actually hit him If she had, one hard slap would have definitely woken him up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat would have been an even bigger disaster-something she wouldn't have been able to explain at all.
Sebastian chuckled. "I'll have the butler debug your room thoroughly!" "Yes! You absolutely should. Also, can you stop drinking when you go out?" His stomach wasn't great to begin with, and besides, what kind of person could possibly force him to drink?
More importantly, drinking made him.
e lose control, and he did thingshen didn't even remember! How was she supposed to hold him accountable?!
Sebastian toyed with a strand of her hair between his fingers "What does my drinking have to do with you getting bitten?" Stephanie wasn't sure if she imagined it, but she felt like there was something hidden in his tone.
3/4 09:29 Sat, 8 Mar M Chapter 100 Noticing him twirling her hair, she huffed and pulled it away.
She tried to get up again, but his grip around her waist remained firm, trapping her in place.
She whimpered, "Sebastian, let go of me." "You haven't toldwhat the connection is yet." "There is no connection," said Stephanie.
The connection was that he had gotten drunk, forgotten everything, and if he ever ended up actually sleeping with her, she'd be the one left holding the baby, literally. Just thinking about it made her glare at him. "Just don't drink anymore, okay?" Amused by her frustration, Sebastian pinched her cheek.
Before they could continue, Elliot entered the room.
Stephanie instinctively tried to wriggle free from Sebastian's embrace.
This time, he let her go but not without murmuring in a coaxing tone, "Eat your breakfast like a good girl." Elliot showed no reaction to the scene, as if he was already used to it.
Sebastian got up and walked toward the living room. Elliot followed. "Fred wants to see you," he said Fred was Chris's father.
Since Chris had not been able to see Sebastian, Fred got anxious.
The Hart family's mine was exhausted, and a new replacement was now crucial to the Ashford family.
