I was taken aback when Angelo suggested it.

Not because I was afraid, but because I wasn’t used to painting in front of an audience.

Sebastian cleared his throat.

“I don’t think it’s necessary, Angelo,” he said.

Angelo smirked.

“Why? Afraid your wife will lose?” he taunted, clearly mocking not just me but Sebastian as well.

I couldn't help but sense the tension between them. There was definitely bad blood.

Sebastian’s eyes narrowed, and I immediately noticed the way his jaw clenched.

“You know your stepbrother, dear. He’s always been afraid of everything,” Agatta added with a sneer.

I swallowed hard. They were deliberately provoking him.

I was about to speak, but before I could, Lucille interjected.

“I don’t think Sebastian is afraid,” she said, feigning concern. “I’m sure he’s just worried his wife will embarrass herself. For all we know, she didn’t even paint those artworks.”

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 104: The Father

    Sebastian’s POVThe smile on my face never faded as we drove toward the hospital.Lucille’s visit to my office had been unexpected, but what truly stunned me was Eloise’s courage earlier. She had been ready to fight anyone who dared to take me away from her. Just the memory of it made my chest tighten in the best way.“You’re happy, huh? You think I’m still not mad?” she asked sharply.I grinned, reached for her hand, and placed my palm over hers.“I know. But yes, I’m happy.”Eloise rolled her eyes. She tried to pull her hand back, but I tightened my grip and brought it closer to my lips, kissing the back of her hand.“I can’t believe you, Sebastian,” she muttered, shaking her head.I trailed my lips along her hand—softly, slowly—until they brushed her forearm.“Hey! You’re driving!” she scolded.I chuckled and stopped, though I still didn’t let go of her hand.I was happy. Really happy. At this point in my life, all I wanted was to spend my days quietly with Eloise. To marry her aga

    Eloise’s POV“What is the meaning of this, Sebastian? Why is she here?!” I demanded.Sebastian quickly removed Lucille’s hand from his arm and stepped slightly away from her. His lips parted as if to speak, but Lucille beat him to it.“We’re going to visit Tito at the hospital,” she said confidently, her expression smug. She latched onto Sebastian’s arm again like a parasite that refused to let go.Sebastian only pressed his lips together and rubbed the back of his neck.I could feel the heat rising to my scalp, but I clenched my fists and forced myself to stay calm.“Hospital?”I turned to Sebastian. He blinked, ready to explain, but Lucille jumped in again.“Oh, you don’t know? I thought you were Sebastian’s wife. Why does it seem like you have no idea what’s happening with his family?”I ground my teeth. That was it. I shot her a glare sharp enough to cut glass.“Why don’t you shut up and let me talk to my husband instead?”Lucille blinked, clearly stunned, her mouth parting in dis

    “Eloise!”Lucy hurried to my side the moment Ophelia left. She grasped my arm and gently guided me back to the sofa.“Agnes! Get some water, quick!”I sat there in a daze, staring blankly into space. It still felt like I was in a nightmare.My life… they were trying to take it away from me again. Where on earth was I supposed to get that much money? I had some savings, but they would never reach one hundred million dollars.I exhaled heavily, my chest tight.Worst of all, there was nothing I could do—legally, I was still her child.“Here, Eloise. Have some water,” Lucy said softly.I looked at her. My hands trembled as I took the glass from her.“They’re so cruel, Lucy. I don’t even know what I did to deserve this. All I ever did was be kind to them, to acknowledge the debt of gratitude I owed for taking me in. But this… this is how they repay me?”Tears slipped down my cheeks, and I quickly wiped them away—more out of frustration than sadness.Lucy looked at me with deep sympathy. “E

    The next morning, I woke up with a smile. But when I reached out to the other side of the bed, it was empty. My brows furrowed, and my eyes snapped open.I grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around my bare body while my eyes scanned the room.He’s not here, I thought.I exhaled and lay back down. Maybe he was just really busy. Then suddenly, my phone rang. I reached for it on the bedside table to see who had messaged me.It was him.I quickly unlocked my phone and read Sebastian’s text.Sebastian: I didn’t wake you up, Sunshine. You were sleeping so soundly. I already told Brix to bring you here later in the afternoon. I love you.I couldn’t help but smile, feeling like a giddy teenager as I read his message. I never thought Sebastian could be this sweet. My stomach fluttered with butterflies when I saw he called me Sunshine.I didn’t know something so simple could make my heart race so much.I replied to him and cheerfully got up.After showering, I slipped into a simple summer dress

  • Falling In Love with my Cold Billionaire Husband   Chapter 100: I'm Yours

    Eloise’ POVIt was already night when I arrived home. I had received a text from Sebastian earlier telling me to go ahead without him because he still had something to take care of. So, I asked Brix to drive me back instead.Up until now, I still don’t know what’s troubling Sebastian. He sounded anxious. But whatever it is, I wouldn’t hesitate to help him.My thoughts wandered back to everything that had happened today—Celeste’s sharp tongue, my own words finally cutting back, and the look of surprise on her face. It was a small victory, but one I would treasure.All my life, I had done nothing but follow her lead. But this time? I won’t allow it anymore.When I reached home, the place was still quiet. Lucy greeted me and invited me to eat, but I declined since I had just come from the orphanage.I went straight to my room to clean up. I prepared a hot bath to relax my tired body.The steam curled upward as I sank into the warm water, letting the heat loosen the knots in my muscles. I

  • 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
