Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 196 97% Listening to Macro's devilish laughter and his words, Stephanie couldn't help but feel completely dazed. She looked at Sebastian, sniffled, and said, “How could you..." Sebastian saw her pouting and feeling wronged, and he bent down to give her soft lips a teasing peck, asking, "What's wrong? Are you mad?" Stephanie nestled closer in his embrace, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Con, don't be angry," Sebastian coaxed gently.

Stephanie responded with a 'humph. She had thought she was making more than two million a year based on her own merits, but in reality, it was different. She felt like she had no skills at all.

"What about Skyriver Travel?" she asked.

Macro jumped in. "Don't even think about it. That's Sebastian's company." "I wasn't asking you," Stephanie snapped, clearly frustrated. At that moment, both Sebastian and Stephanie wanted nothing more than to beat Macro up.

"I want your answer, Sebastian." Stephanie insisted.

Sebastian gave a soft “yes“, meaning Macro was right.

Stephanie burrowed closer again. Sebastian looked down at her fluffy little head. Her fisherman's hat had been pushed askew.

Seeing her pouty expression made Sebastian feel a rush of desire.

'She's so tempting,' he thought to himself.

"Alright, don't be mad anymore," he said.

"I've been trying really hard to support myself." Stephanie pouted.

When her stuopened, she wasn't without clients. Even though the design fees weren't high, it was enough to support herself.

And the high fees from Skyriver Travel? She had never questioned it. In fact, she thought the boss of Skyriver Travel had really appreciated her work. Now, however, she felt useless.

Sebastian replied, “Yeah, it's impressive that you know how to make your own money." When he found out Stephanie opened her studio, he had a clear understanding of her financial situation in the Hart family.

But when she suddenly used the credit card he gave her, Sebastian's mind went into a swirl. He thought something major had gone wrong. He still had many things to sort out, but at that moment, he couldn't focus on anything else.

Macro chimed in, "Yeah, Stephanie is really smart, knowing how to earn her own money." "Stop talking," Stephanie interjected.

"Quiet down," Sebastian said at the stime.

That left Macro thinking, 'Great, now I'm the bad guy again.

1/4 Thu Chapter 196 As Stephanie grumbled in Sebastian's arms, he listened patiently.

While passing a supermarket, Sebastian said to Elliot, "Go get ssnacks "Sure thing." Elliot nodded.

It was obvious who the snacks were for-it had to be for Stephanie. She didn't seem to have exten enough on the plane, m hours had passed. Now Stephanie had a routine when it cto eating, and she could eat a lot Once Elliot got out of the car and saw Macro still seated without moving, he asked, "Macro, you matina pick out something you like?" "I'm not going. What do I need snacks for? I'm a grown man," said Macro. He had just been laughing to hard that his ab were still sore.

Elliot thought to himself, 'He really doesn't get it at all: Ultimately, Elliot went on his own to get the snacks Macro finally realized he was in the way. "You know what, I'll go figure out what I want to eat," he said as he quickly hoppt out of the car.

That left just Sebastian and Stephanie. Sebastian looked down at her, who was still snuggled up next to him, and asked, "Are you really angry?" "I thought I was doing pretty well for myself, Stephanie grumbled.

Sebastian replied, "You are doing well, and you know how to hide.

But really, did it even matter whether she was hiding or not? Stephanie lifted her head to look at him, asking, "So why didn't you cpickup sooner?" "Things weren't sorted out at that point," Sebastian said.

Richard's way of forcing her away from Fiorenza was a wake-up call for Sebastian.

Without their father, the Giovanni family was in a precarious position. There were many who had set their sights on the Giovanni family, especially those with ulterior motives looking to marry into the family.

He knew the Giovanis were surrounded by enemies. Even with the backing of the Lucano family, things had been a bit out of hand.

Sebastian kissed her softly, saying, "You did well." After she left Fiorenza, he had gone a bit crazy not knowing where she was. But once he found out she was in Long Harbor, he finally felt a bit at ease.

About ten minutes later, Elliot and Macro returned, bringing a big bag of snacks for Stephanie. She rummaged through it and pulled out a box of jelly, struggling to tear open a coffee bag. Sebastian took it and ripped it open for her.

He watched as she poured the coffee powder into a cup and then added the jelly.

"Wait, you can eat jelly like that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's really good," Stephanie replied.

Back when she was in Fiorenza, he never let her eat these things. He bought these just in case she was hungry.

Holding a fork, she offered a piece to Sebastian.

914 09:36 Thu, 20 Mar Chapter 196 He frowned. "What are you doing?" "Try this," Stephanie said.

Sebastian looked at the brown powder on the jelly with doubt. “Is this even edible?" 97% His tone made Elliot, who was driving, jump a little; he thought he had bought the wrong stuff, but the supermarket only had these snacks. And since he knew Stephanie liked sweets, he specifically chose them. "Trust me, it's really good. Just try it," Stephanie said again.

Sebastian was at a loss.

+53 In the past few years in Long Harbor, she had really tried everything-spicy food, random snacks, things she never dared to sample with him.

He reluctantly took a bite. It was too bitter for his ste.

"Call Fred later," he said to Elliot.

Stephanie raised an eyebrow. "What do you want to call him for?" She thought Fred was the most normal one in the Ashford family.

"Just to ask him for sparenting advice," Sebastian replied casually.

Both Stephanie and Macro exchanged looks of disbelief, thinking, 'Parenting advice? For Chris, the guy who always acts like a kid?'

Macro was confused about what was going on, but Stephanie om understood perfectly. After hearing Fred, who was on the brink of collapse, was the one calling, she knew this wouldn't be over so soon.

Elliot was also unaware of the details, but with Sebastian mentioning Fred, ล he figured it was about Chris. Hel ve thought for a moment and asked, "Should I give Mr. Ashford a heads-up that we need to take sspecial measures with Chris?" Stephanie's mind raced. 'Special measures? What are those? Does a grown-up like Chris still need a spanking?' She decided to stay quiet and kept eating her jelly.

Sebastian coolly replied, "Sure," and then wiped the brown powder from her lips.

"Is something on my face?" she asked.

"Yep," he confirmed and then used a wet napkin to clean her up.

They arrived at the seaside dock, and O as soon as Stephanie stepped out of the car, a wave of heat hit her. She quickly pulled her fisherman's hat down, worried about getting sunburnt. "Sebastian, do we have any sun-proof clothing?" she asked, shielding her arms from the glaring sun that was sure to tan her.

"What sun-proof clothing? We're getting on a cruise ship now; do you think the sun can penetrate steel? You're just being tic," Macro said with a grin.

Stephanie pouted. In the next instant, Sebastian kicked Macro.

"Hey! I didn't say anything bad!" Macro exclaimed, nearly losing his balance and almost falling into the water. He didn't know why Sebastian always hit him.

Elliot leaned closer to Macro and whispered, "You said she was tic." 3/4 Chapter 190 Macro never understood why he got inde, day to hom Stephanie was feeling a bit unexey show the twin bed nd nd he owed the day today AD E diated Elix's number.
