2026-05-06 01:08:31“Desiree, reheat my lunch,” Sebastian said without looking up, his voice calm but firm. “And don’t forget my banana milk. I’ll be waiting in my office.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Desiree took the lunch bag and walked out, the soft click of the office door closing behind her leaving Sebastian alone with his thoughts. Meanwhile, she made her way to the pantry, placing the containers neatly on the counter.
When she opened the lunchbox, a warm, savory aroma immediately filled the small spa

Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 79 : Mummy, don’t you think it is too hot today to wear a scarf?
Sebastian climbed into his car and started the engine.Yet instead of driving off immediately, he sat there staring blankly at the rows of parked vehicles ahead of him.His mind was still stuck on two things that had happened before he left the penthouse.The first was the utterly ridiculous thing he'd said to Rosie."Go to bed first. You'll catch a cold waiting for me."Sebastian groaned and rubbed a hand over his face."Why the hell would I say something like that?" he muttered. "If she wants to stay up waiting for me like an idiot, that's hardly my problem."Even as he said it, he knew he was lying to himself.The truth was that he liked it.He liked knowing Rosie cared enough to wait for him.He liked the attention.The thought of someone worrying about him when he was away gave him a strange feeling he wasn't accustomed to.But that wasn't even the most embarrassing thing he'd done today.Not by a long shot.Sebastian let out a long sigh and slipped a hand into his suit pocket.A
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 78 : The entire room still smells like last night.
For a moment, I thought Charles might have been abusing her or something...The thought surfaced unexpectedly.It was only speculation, but after everything Izzie had said, Sebastian couldn't help wondering whether his brother had done more than simply neglect Rosie.Yet the more he thought about it, the more their marriage reminded him of his parents'.His father had spent years chasing one woman after another without a shred of shame.And his mother?She had simply looked the other way.In return, she had access to endless money and an extravagant lifestyle.Whenever his father's affairs became too difficult to ignore, she'd compensate by buying expensive things she didn't need and drinking herself into oblivion.Rosie had entered that household as Charles's girlfriend and, before long, had become Sebastian's caregiver.Sebastian had always despised that sort of arrangement.In his view, if you committed yourself to one person, you stayed loyal.Simple as that.But Charles had follo
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 77 : She hardly eats anything, Uncle.
Sebastian knew perfectly well that his sister-in-law was trying her hardest not to laugh, much to his irritation.Clicking his tongue, he chose to ignore both her and his troublesome niece. Picking up the ladle, he poured a little more ginger soup into Rosie's bowl before saying,"You've got ginger soup and pumpkin soup in front of you. Eat it—no, eat both."The faint smile on Rosie's lips disappeared instantly.She stared at the two bowls sitting before her.For most people, they were merely starters.For Rosie, however, they amounted to an entire day's worth of food.Her face gradually lost colour as she looked down at them. Then she glanced up at Sebastian and Izzie, who were both watching her expectantly, waiting for her to take the first spoonful.The attention alone made her unbearably nervous.Her palms began to sweat."I-I'll eat later," Rosie said softly, trying to avoid the issue.She could manage the soup.But even half a bowl would make her feel painfully full, and her anx
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 76 : The way she takes care of me… it’s like… she is my wife—
But despite her expectation, Sebastian didn't say anything. His face grew darker, and obviously, he was displeased with what she did. But he didn't blast her.For a while, Sebastian seemed to be deep in thoughts, before saying, "You've made too much ginger soup for me. My hangover is not that bad. Bring another bowl and eat half of it.""Ah, b—but it's not much…" Rosie said. She was sure that she measured the ingredients correctly based on Sebastian's preference. Since she stayed with him, she gradually learned some habits of adult Sebastian, some of which were alike, but some were totally opposite to his childhood.So she had to adapt to his preference, including the amount of food that Sebastian wanted. She paid attention to his food consumption, watched how Sebastian ate, and how much food he left after having meals, then prepared meals according to his portions in order to avoid waste. So her family would have enough food to stay healthy, but not too much."I… I think you can have
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 75 : I shared your mummy’s bed last night... what makes you think I can’t eat her cooking too?
She... looks frightened... Sebastian thought. Am I really that intimidating? Why would she be afraid of me?Sebastian knew he wasn't the most patient man in the world, nor the kindest. But he had never laid a hand on her, and he never would, no matter how furious he became.When he was truly angry, he preferred taking it out on inanimate objects. He could smash furniture to pieces, even tear a house apart if pushed far enough—but he would never...I would never hurt her...The thought echoed through his mind as he stared, transfixed, into his sister-in-law's tear-filled eyes.Rosie panicked when Sebastian gave no response.She assumed he was disgusted by her tears and furious about what had happened the night before. That had to be why he wasn't speaking.Her already pale face turned even whiter as fear consumed her. A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and rolled slowly down her cheek.Her lips—still slightly swollen and chapped from their desperate kisses the previous night—tre
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 74 : Open your eyes, Sister-in-law,
Rosie stood before the full-length mirror and stared at her reflection.The marks scattered across her pale skin were impossible to miss.She had always been thin—too thin, in her opinion. Sharp collarbones, narrow shoulders, and delicate limbs that made her feel fragile whenever she looked at herself for too long.Yet despite that, Sebastian had held her as though she were something precious.Rosie shook her head."I can’t believe he was even attracted to this body," she murmured to herself. "It looks so... unattractive."Her gaze drifted across her reflection.There were countless reminders of the previous night. Faint bruises, lingering marks, and evidence of a passion she still struggled to comprehend.Surely it had only happened because he was drunk.That explanation made the most sense.After all, she had seen Charles stumble into bed with plenty of women after a night of drinking. Men didn’t think clearly when they were intoxicated.At least, that was what Rosie told herself.U
Taming the Devil: After Divorce, Tangled Up in You Chapter 57 : I should keep it a secret especially from him…
As for Rosie, she felt at ease because she noticed Sebastian was not in a bad mood today. He was still grumpy, yet it was another characteristic of his personality.Furthermore, there was no trace of hostility in his behavior either. Rosie was sure that she would not be able to predict his wild moo

Charles went back to his room. He picked up his wine and sat on the bed as he browsed through movies that might entertain him with the help of his remote control. This was the tranquility he wanted right now.She was the ugliest thing to look at, yet he fucked her for four years because of his incr

Sebastian clenched his jaw tightly.Whether intentional or not, he immediately realized that this old woman was dangerous to his plans.Maria wasn't someone easy to fool.And that made her troublesome.Still, Sebastian ultimately restrained himself. Triggering suspicion now would only complicate ev
