+13 Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Sebastian's phone rang. It was Elliot.
He got up, glancing at Stephanie, who had already fallen back asleep. The little drunk kitten couldn't fight off sleep for long- Answering the call, his voice was low and direct. "Speak." "Mr. Giovanni, just as you predicted-Lancelot is hiding in Long Harbor." "Did you find him?" "No, but his man, Carl, was spotted today." In the dimly lit room, Sebastian's usually icy gaze flickered with a dangerous glint.
"Keep a close watch on him,” he said coldly.
"Yes!" "And..." He paused for a moment, glancing at the bed where Stephanie was sound asleep.
"Assign more men to protect her." Her-of course, referring to Stephanie.
Elliot pondered for a moment.
"Should we tell Miss Giovanni to avoid the stufor now?" "No need." "Understood." Elliot knew exactly what Sebastian meant-he didn't want Stephanie to feel even the slightest hint of danger.
He wanted her world to be peaceful, to be ordinary. He didn't want her constantly on edge.
That year, after witnessing Sebastian kill someone, Stephanie had nearly shut down completely.
Since then, he had kept her away from the family's business affairs as much as possible.
At least until Valentina and Richard pulled their little stunt.
Hanging up, Sebastian stepped onto the balcony and lit a cigarette, taking a slow drag.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHis phone buzzed again.
Glancing at the screen, he picked up. "Mother." "Do you know that Richard has connected with Finn Moran?" "I do." "You know how he feels about Stefi. Keep her safe-she's a timid child." Sebastian said, "Timid?" 1/5 07:06 Tue, 11 Mar Chapter 135 Hearing that, he turned his head, looking through the glass door at Stephanie, still curled up in bed.
The corners of his lips lifted slightly in indulgent amusement. That little troublemaker was anything but timid. Still, he responded on the phone, “I understand.” "I've received word that Richard is heading toward Long Harbor. Do you have enough men with you?" "Yes." "Should we send Sofia to keep Stefi company?" Three years ago, that bastard had found an opening. Stephanie had been forced to leave the Giovanni family. Lottie was still shaken by it to this day.
"No need." Compared to Richard, Sofia was just as much of a headache. She had a knack for making people disappear.
If she took Stephanie away now, he didn't even need to think to know what would happen to her.
92%1 Back when Sofia had taken her away for training, no one could track them down. By the tStephanie was finally found, she had nearly been skinned alive.
"You're right, that girl is the worst." Speaking of her daughter, Mrs. Lucano sighed in frustration.
A perfectly good girl, yet she insisted on acting like a boy. She even tanned herself so dark! Nothing like sweet little Stefi in her lovely dresses, looking so adorable.
When she had given birth to Sofia, she had been so happy, thinking she'd dress her up beautifully.
But what happened? The girl refused to wear dresses and only liked pants. She never even touched the clothes her mother picked out for her! "Anyway, take care of Stefi. Once everything's settled, bring her back. There's no reason to stay in Long Harbor- And her biological parents? They're nothing good. I know what goes on there." Now that she knew where Stephanie was, Mrs. Lucano had already sent people to investigate.
She had dug up everything on the Hart family.
And the trouble they were in right now? It wasn't just Sebastian's doing-Mrs. Lucano had played a hand in it as well.
"Got it." The two spoke for a while longer before ending the call.
Sebastian stepped into the room and immediately noticed that Stefi had kicked off her blanket again, her little face flushed red.
He walked over and placed a hand on her forehead-it felt slightly warm.
Not at ease, he called for Macro.
2/5 Chapter 135 11 Macro checked her temperature and, sure enough, it was a little high. “What's up with you two siblings Drinking son thing, but why do you always end up with a fever? As he spoke, he retrieved a pill from the medical kit and handed it to Sebastian Sebastian didn't take it. Instead, he shot Macro a cold glance.
Meeting his icy gaze, Macro instinctively swallowed. "W-What's wrong? Sebastian's voice was low, "Siblings? Macro didn't know where he's going wrong.
Wait, what now? Wasn't that the case? His brain momentarily froze.
Sebastian finally took the pill from his hand. "If you don't know how to talk, then don't talk. Unless you want your mouta sewn shut." "I-I didn't even say anything wrong?" Had he? Every tthose two drank, they ended up with a fever. It was always a hassle.
Macro was completely baffled.
Sebastian shot him another frosty glance.
"Alright, alright! I won't say another word!" Macro quickly zipped his mouth shut.
Seriously, he had no clue which sentence had triggered this guy.
"Oh, right. That woman, Catlin, she's still hanging around. Been trying to find a way to see Stefi" The moment he said that, another icy glare landed on him.
Macro groaned. "What now?" He was going insane. Did he need to analyze every single word before speaking to this guy? Ignoring him, Sebastian turned back to Stefi, placing the pill in her mouth and feeding her swater.

"You call that a sister? More like a lump of coal." Last the saw Luca, she was so tanned it was almost unbearable to look at.
"Hey, but you know, she and Sofia really are a match made in heaven. The way they've competed all these years, their habits are practically identical." Well, except for one thing-his sister was fiery and loved wearing dresses, 3/5 07:06 Tue, Chapter 135 Sofia, on the other hand, was the definition of a tomboy Sebastian remarked coolly, "If Luca hears this, you'll be beaten to a pup Macro shrugged. "Not if you don't tell her. I doubt you're the type to prip Speaking of Luca, Macro sighed in frustration.
Other people's little sisters were sweet and adorable. His? A full tmenace are who had been chasing him around with her fists since they were kids. She was useless at everything except fighting, in which she was an undisputed cham
Back in school, their parents had given up on dealing with her. ing with her. He an the other hand, had been forced to dem up her messes twice after she got into fights. Macro could still remember the ther teacher had yelled at him, pointing right at his nose! "You can leave now," Sebastian said, seeing that Macro showed no sign of leaving Macro quickly packed up his things. He was starving and needed to find something to eat.
"You sure you don't want someone to deal with that woman?" Catlin had been waiting since the afternoon and still hadn't left.
Sebastian's eyes darkened slightly at the mention of Stefi's mother. "Deal with her? Let her wait" Waiting was the cruelest torture.
Especially with the current mess at the Hart family-there was no doubt that the entire Hart Group was in chaos right now.
Macro nodded. “Got it. So, are you coming to eat?" Stefi was in no condition to eat, that was for sure.
Sebastian said, "You go first." Sebastian glanced at her flushed little face. He would wait until her fever went down first.
Macro didn't press further. He grabbed his things and left.
Now, only Sebastian and Stefi remained in the room. The man reached out and gently touched her burning cheek once again.
Stefi's eyelids fluttered open, her gaze hazy. "Sebastian..." A ripple spread through his chest.
He had never realized before-what it would feel like to hear his nspoken so intimately from her lips.
