Memories from vet night flooded back into her mind, and the blushed instantly. 'So, why are you still here?" she asked Tim?' he pretioned, waiting for her to remember.

Stephanie Minked, realization dawning on her. Sebastian had insisted on sleeping together, despite her explaining the pros and come. He just wouldn't listeni After last night, both Elliot and the butler already knew the tic change in their relationship. She had no choice but to let him handle it.

The phone vibrated non-stop. Sebastian picked it up and glanced at the screen. It wasn't his. It was Stephanie's. She grabbed her phone and saw it was Sofia calling. She handed it directly to Sebastian. She didn't dare answer it herself.

Sebastian took the call, his brow furrowing when he saw it was from Sofia.

Before he could say anything, Sofia's roar cthrough the line, "You little brat! You really think you're something, don't you? Kunning away for three years has made you bold, hasn't it? You actually dared to ratout? "Lettell you. This isn't over. You better never cback to Fiorenza in your life. It really pissesoff. How dare you turnin? You think you're so great, don't you?" Sofia was screaming in frustration over the phone. It was obvious she had been sent back to Fiorenza.

"Are you threatening her?" Sebastian's voice was low and stern.

Sofia was rendered speechless. The line went silent.

Stephanie nervously clutched the lapel of Sebastian's robe.

He pressed, "Go ahead. His tone was serious and intimidating.

Sofia stammered, "Sebastian, I, um, you know...

Actually, Sofia was genuinely afraid of Sebastian when he was serious. She couldn't even form a complete sentence.

Sebastian's cold aura seemed to travel through the phone, hitting Sofia like a chill.

"I was just joking with her. You know I miss her," Sofia quickly said.

She really did miss Stephanie. When Sebastian brought Stephanie to live near the school, Sofia had wanted to go But she had school to attend.

them.

For a long time, Sofia would let snacks go stale because she wanted to save them for Stephanie. But ever since Sebastian took Stephanie in, he becless regular with his visits home.

Sofia was angry. She loved Stephanie so much, but Stephanie had betrayed her.

1/3 52% Chapter 158 Sebastian snorted, "You miss her that much?" The idea of threatening someone and then claiming it was a joke was quite something.

"I was just mad." Sofia said. "I miss her so much, but you wouldn't letcto Long Harbor.

Sofia was truly upset. When she found out Sebastian had found Stephanie, she had always wanted to cto Long Harbor. But Sebastian kept blocking her.

This time, she had barely escaped from Fiorenza when Elliot's people caught her and took her back.

She couldn't believe Stephanie hadn't turned her in. It had to be Stephanie who informed Elliot. She was really mad at Stephanie who betrayed her.

"Wait, isn't it just dawn in Long Harbor now? Could Stefi really wake up this early?" Sofia asked, puzzled about why Stephanie's phone was with Sebastian.

Stephanie's heart leaped into her throat as she heard Sofia's question. She clutched Sebastian's robe tighter. Sebastian glanced down at her, noticing her panic. A hint of amusement flickered in his eyes. He caught her hand and slipped it inside his robe.

Stephanie felt the firmness of his chest and froze. She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Sebastian playfully held it in place.

"Let go of me!" she complained, blushing.

"What are you guys doing?" Sofia's voice cthrough the phone, full of curiosity.

Stephanie's mind buzzed. She had forgotten that Sebastian was still on the phone with Sofia. This was so embarrassing.

Sebastian teased her while talking to Sofia in a cold, deep voice, "You're curious?" Sofia was confused, wondering what Sebastian meant.

Stephanie thought, 'What the hell? Is he seriously teasinglike this?' Hearing Sebastian's displeased tone, Sofia quickly backed off. "No, of course not. I'm not curious." No one in Fiorenza dared to be curious about Sebastian's business, not even his own sister. She still remembered the two months she spent in the desert without a bath. She never wanted to experience that again.

"I'm really not curious," Sofia added, just to make sure Sebastian believed her.

But then she couldn't help but say, "Can Stefi really wake up this early?" Stephanie was left speechless.

So was Sebastian.

In Sofia's memory, Stephanie always slept in. She had always struggled to get up during school days, usually arriving an hour late. It was only because Sebastian indulged her.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed. "Sofia." Sofia joked, "Wow, Stefi has really changed. Being away for three years has made her so hardworking. Has life out there really been that rough on her? "Hey, Sebastian, is she behaving now? Can she cook? Don't let her make pasta without knowing how." 2/3 Chapter 158 "Was that even pasta? It tasted like she was trying to murder us! One bite and I felt like I had lost ten years of my Wies Words failed Stephanie. She didn't know how to explain.

Sofia added, "After all she's been through, her cooking has to have om gotten better, right? Please don't end up in the KK again. Remember that twhen you were puking and I had to take care of you?" "Shut up." Sebastian had enough.

Stephanie stared at Sebastian, shocked.

"I'm just saying. Her cooking really sucks. If you want to eat it yourself, that's your business. But you always make Mom andeat it too. I almost died at that time. And you puked all over me," said Sofia, Stephanie's mouth twitched. She looked at Sebastian in disbelief, wondering, 'Was the pasta I made really that bad? She didn't know how to cook, but when she was 14, she heard that people made pasta for their families to show love. She wanted to do the same.

'Was the pasta I made really that bad?' she thought.

Sebastian's face soured as he said to the phone, “Go check on your brain.”

Sofia said, "What? After all these years, you still won't tell her? She If m needs to cooking hasn't improved, I don't want her to make anything for me. I don't want to puke again." Sofia kept nagging on the phone. Sebastian hung up right away.

The room finally got quiet. Stephanie looked at Sebastian pitifully. "Did my pasta really send you to the hospital before?" It was such a big deal, and she had no idea.

Sebastian squeezed her small hand still resting on his chest. Stephanie realized where her hand was and blushed again, instinctively trying to pull it back.

"Let go," she whined, forcing her hand back and hiding it.
