Eloise’s POV

What the f*ck was that?

I still couldn’t forget the way he acted last night.

I saw the anger in his eyes—undeniable and intense.

But why?

I knew he wasn’t talking about me.

And as far as I could remember, Celeste had never met him before.

Sebastian Whitmore was notoriously elusive. There weren’t even photos of him online.

I had a feeling that something had happened between him and Celeste—something unresolved.

And now, I had no choice but to bear the consequences because he thought I was my adoptive sister.

I took a deep breath and shook my head.

I needed to stop overthinking and focus on my painting.

Maybe I should just ignore him.

I prepared a fresh canvas and set up my painting materials. This would be my first painting in this house.

But then—

The door to my craft room suddenly swung open.

I froze mid-motion as Sebastian walked in.

A strange unease settled in my stomach the moment I saw his expression—his brows furrowed, his lips pressed into a hard line.

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 99: Doubts

    Sebastian’s POVI didn’t leave my father’s side. I stayed seated beside him, watching his pale, motionless body.I didn’t know why the strange feeling in my chest wouldn’t go away.My father had his own way of showing love. In fact, I hadn’t really felt it since I was a child.He even sent me to an orphanage just because his mistress asked him to.But I couldn’t deny that he never truly abandoned me. He always had reasons for what he did.Marcus waited quietly outside, respecting my silence. A few minutes later, a soft knock tapped against the door. It opened slightly, revealing Dr. Armand—our family physician and the best in the hospital. He wasn’t alone; several other doctors followed, and I knew they were among the best too. I made sure only the most capable and trustworthy professionals would look after him.“Mr. Whitmore,” he greeted respectfully. “I wanted to update you on your father’s condition.”I stood. “Go ahead.”He walked in with a tablet in hand, scrolling through severa

    Eloise’s POV“You should get some rest now, Mother Celine,” I said.We had just helped her lie down comfortably. I pulled the blanket up over her and tucked it in.I smiled as I looked at her. The bandages on her face and body were finally gone, leaving only the scars that served as painful reminders of the fire that happened at the orphanage.Almost half of Mother Celine’s face had been burned. She no longer had any hair because even her scalp had been scorched. Her right arm, thigh, and leg were covered with scars. What happened to her was truly tragic. And yet, she never showed any sign of weakness.“Thank you, children. But I told you, you didn’t have to go through all this trouble,” she said shyly.“Mother, we just missed you. And besides, you deserve this. You’ve been away for too long,” Marian replied.Mother Celine smiled, her eyes welling with tears.“I’m just really happy to be back. I appreciate all of you.”She looked around at us and at some of the orphanage staff who wer

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 97: Red Flags

    Sebastian’s POVI rushed out of the orphanage as soon as I got the call.Marcus had just informed me that my father was in the hospital. He collapsed during a board meeting and was rushed there immediately.I shook my head in disbelief and jumped into the car, speeding straight to the hospital.I swear, something about this felt wrong.Dad might have always been hard on me, but that didn’t mean I didn’t care. And this incident—it didn’t make any sense. My father was one of the healthiest men I knew. He prioritized his well-being above everything else. That was why he’d practically handed all business responsibilities over to me. And now, this?Something wasn’t right.As soon as I arrived at WMH, I headed straight to his hospital room. It was located in the VVIP wing on the top floor—a floor reserved exclusively for the Whitmore family.Marcus was already waiting by the elevator. Together, we walked down the corridor toward my father's room."Sir, they're already inside," Marcus inform

    Sebastian’s POVThings had been going well ever since I learned the truth.Mildred wasn’t Ellaine. And I didn’t care anymore about whatever reason she had for telling that lie.It was infuriating. But what mattered now was that I knew the truth. It was sad, though—Ellaine was already gone. I didn’t even get the chance to make things right with her.Now, Eloise was sitting in my passenger seat, quietly looking out the window while I held her hand tightly. We were on our way to visit the orphanage and prepare it for Mother Celine’s return.I had tried to convince Mother Celine to stay in the hospital until she was fully recovered, but she insisted on coming back. She said she already missed the kids.“Do you really think it was okay to let her go back to the orphanage this soon?” I asked.From the corner of my eye, I saw her turn toward me.“You know how Mother Celine is. She won’t be at peace just lying in that hospital bed.”I sighed. “I’m just worried about her. She still needs to re

    Eloise’s POV“You will never be someone, Eloise.” Now I understand what she meant. Now I know what she knew.But how?How did she know about Ellaine?Ellaine had been dead for years. How could Mildred have known about my sister?“You should follow him, Eloise. Explain it better to Sebastian,” Mother Celine urged.I sighed.She was right. I knew it wouldn’t be easy for Sebastian to accept the truth. Especially after Mildred had likely deceived him.I stood up.“I’ll be back, Mother.”She nodded, so I walked out of the room.Sebastian was no longer in the hallway, so I quickened my pace. And when I turned the corner, I saw him standing in front of the elevator, waiting for the doors to open.“Sebastian!”He turned around at the sound of my voice.He sighed when he saw me.“Where are you going?” I asked.He looked back at the elevator doors.“I need to talk to her, Eloise. I need to know why.”“If anyone can give you the truth, it’s me, Sebastian. Ellaine is my sister!” I insisted.“The

    Eloise’s POVFor years, I had been wondering what happened to him.If he was okay. What kind of life did he have now? Or if… if he was even still alive.Even with everything that had happened in my life, he never once left my mind. I even made a promise to myself that I would find him someday.I stared at Sebastian, who looked just as stunned as I was.So that’s why he seemed so familiar to me. Because I’ve known him for a long time. My heart could recognize him. “W-What? Are you sure, Mother Celine?” Sebastian asked, his voice filled with disbelief.His mouth hung open as he looked back and forth between the two of us.“She is Eloise? The sister of Ellaine?”Mother Celine nodded slowly.“Yes, Sebastian.” She let out a soft sigh. “It’s heartbreaking that you two didn’t recognize each other sooner.”Sebastian gave a short laugh and stood up, running his fingers through his hair in disbelief.“I—I don’t know what to say. Mother… she’s my wife.”This time, it was Mother Celine who look
