As soon as the conversation started, Harry went on the offensive. He didn’t say what he wanted directly, preferring to circle around it with sharp, veiled jabs.

Sebastian stayed calm. His expression was unreadable, his tone flat. “I don’t know.”

The words hit Harry like a thorn down his throat. He went quiet for a second, but the tension on his face only deepened. Finally, he snapped.

“The Reed family’s position in Boston, everyone knows it. In business and in marriage, they always choose the best. So it’s no surprise the Reeds didn’t consider my firm. Just like it’s no surprise Sebastian Reed wouldn’t consider a woman who’s been married before… a woman with a past.”

The air in the room froze.

Sebastian’s gaze turned razor-sharp, his voice dropping low. “Mr. Harrington, I don’t appreciate the comparison you just made.”

Harry met his stare. “Am I wrong?”

“You’re right about one thing, my family didn’t pick your firm. That was a management call. But my relationship with Evelyn has noth

    Victoria glared sharply at the line of maids standing stiffly in the Reed family dining room that morning. Her face was hard, her tone cutting like a whip.“Mom, calm down. She’s a divorced woman, what can’t she handle? Honestly, I think she’s enjoying the drama. The more people talk about it, the easier it is for her to cling to our family and strengthen her position as Sebastian’s girlfriend.”“Who dares say something like that!” Mrs. Reed snapped, her voice slicing through the room. Her cold eyes swept over every servant. “All of you, keep your mouths shut! Not a single word about what happened last night. Understand?”“Yes, Madam,” the servants replied almost in unison, bowing their heads so low they didn’t dare meet her gaze.Victoria smoothly ladled porridge into Mrs. Reed’s bowl, but her voice dripped with mockery. “It’s just uncomfortable to think about. In our own house, she has the nerve to do something like that. I honestly don’t even know how she managed to trap Sebastian

    Sunlight slipped through the curtains and spilled across the man’s body, highlighting the sculpted lines of his bronze chest. Sebastian’s breathing was slow and steady, his chest rising and falling in a calm rhythm. His body was muscular, but not the kind that screamed gym obsession, just enough to look strong, balanced, and effortlessly masculine. There was something oddly magnetic about him, a mix of quiet strength and simmering desire.Evelyn’s eyes suddenly flew open. A second later, she covered her face with both hands, cheeks burning all the way to her ears.“What the hell happened last night?” Her voice came out small and hoarse.“You don’t remember anything?” Sebastian asked casually, sitting on the edge of the bed. He looked at her for a moment, his tone calm. “It’s fine. Relax. Try to remember slowly.”Evelyn swallowed hard, keeping her eyes down on the carpet. Sebastian’s bare feet rested on the thick rug, his toes brushing the soft surface.She clutched the blanket tightly

    “It’s not bitter, really. Just a little more,” Sebastian said softly.Evelyn kept her head down, pretending not to hear. Her small, stubborn movements made her look like a sulking child. Sebastian let out a quiet sigh. He felt like he was trying to coax a kid who refused to listen.Silence filled the room for a moment. Evelyn stayed still, not even glancing up. Finally, Sebastian spoke again. “You really don’t want to drink?”She shook her head faintly. Her cheeks were flushed from the alcohol, but her tone stayed firm.“I’ve got a way to make it taste better. Wanna try?”“Huh?” Evelyn lifted her head, confused.Through her blurred vision, she barely saw Sebastian lean forward. He took a small sip of the soup, then moved closer. Before she could react, he pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips to hers. The bitter taste of the medicine mixed with the warm broth as it slid down her throat, leaving her breathless.Evelyn tried to push him away, but her body felt weak. Her fists hi

    “God, this is so good,” Evelyn murmured after tasting a bite of the stir-fried shrimp that had just been served. She picked one up and placed it on Sebastian’s plate. “You should try it.”Sebastian glanced at her briefly, then calmly ate the shrimp she’d given him. “You’re right, it’s good,” he said evenly, his tone flat, but not cold. “If you like it, eat as much as you want.”The sight made Mrs. Reed and Victoria, seated across from them, go completely silent. Everyone in the Reed family knew Sebastian never ate food that had already been touched by someone else. Even during family dinners, he refused to use the same serving spoon as others. He was obsessive about hygiene and food. Yet now, right in front of everyone, he ate something Evelyn had placed on his plate, without the slightest hesitation.Evelyn felt the curious stares around the table and instinctively touched her cheek. “What? Do I have something on my face?”Mrs. Reed quickly regained her composure. “No, dear. Go ahead

    Evelyn sat calmly across from Mrs. Reed, the family matriarch, who occupied the main seat in the living room with the poise of someone used to being obeyed. The air was thick, heavy with unspoken tension, like the quiet before a storm.“Mrs. Reed,” Evelyn began quietly, “you mentioned something about the money I took from the Callahans after my divorce?”Mrs. Reed straightened her back. “Isn’t that a fact?”“It is,” Evelyn replied, her voice steady. “That was what I was entitled to.”Mrs. Reed’s eyes narrowed, her tone cold and sharp. “Entitled? Legally, maybe. But let’s be honest, after tasting luxury, women like you start thinking marrying rich and divorcing well is the fastest way to multiply your fortune. You use your looks like an investment, profit guaranteed, no loss.”Evelyn met her gaze without flinching. “You talk as if marriage itself is just a business deal.”Victoria, who was standing beside Mrs. Reed, cut in sharply. “Watch your tone, Evelyn!
