Chapter 165
The butler and servants, reacting instantly, quickly made themselves scarce,
Everyone in the household knew there was no blood relation between Sebastian and Stephanie.
If Sebastian intended to do anything to Stephanie, they had better be smart enough to pretend they saw nothing
If they witnessed something they shouldn't have, they might not live to tell the tale!
Soon, only Stephanie and Sebastian remained in the room.
Stephanie blinked up at him, her heart skipping a beat. She immediately tried to pull away, but before she could,
Sebastian pressed her back down.
“What's with your neck?” he asked in a low voice.
Stephanie's heart skipped another beat, and she stammered, “Uh... Well... | got bitten by a bug last night.”
If he could ask such a question, then he clearly had no recollection of what had happened.
She recalled how he had pinned her against the sofa last night.
If she hadn't struggled so hard to break free, her neck wouldn't have been covered in marks.
Hearing her words, Sebastian raised a brow. “Another bug?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStephanie 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 bite here.”
Stephanie's face burned uncontrollably.
Still flustered, she nodded again. “Yeah, it was really tough. | couldn’t even shake it off.”
Sebastian tightened his grip around her waist. “You even tried to fight it off?”
“1 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.
That 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 lose control, and he did things he didn’t even remember. You was the spot
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 bement
Stephanie wasn’t sure if she imagined it, but she felt like there was something hidden in his tone.
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?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmused 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,
Thus, it was not surprising that Fred Ashford cin person!
