Se connecterCassandraSebastian really wouldn’t let this go. When I was looking at houses with Miles, he followed us. He knew exactly how to stop me from pushing him away.Every time I tried to tell him to leave, he would start talking to Miles. Now, I just let him tag along.This is the third house we’ve seen today. I want to finish choosing a house today because I still have so much work to do.“It has a beautiful backyard. Perfect for a family barbecue,” the woman said with a smile.I didn’t have the energy to correct her assumption that we were a family. I was already tired.“The garden here is well maintained too. It would be nice to add a tree over there,” I commented without realizing it.The real estate agent clapped her hands once. “Exactly. You can add a tree there, I think it would be great for your child to play, maybe even with the family dog.”“Family dog? I think that sounds nice.” I heard Miles respond excitedly.I realized how good that must sound to him. Providing comfort and ha
CassandraI let out a long breath when I saw him. As I placed the food I cooked in front of him, Sebastian looked genuinely happy.For some reason, I watched him eat so eagerly. It did something to my ego, something that made me feel strangely pleased. Maybe because I put effort into cooking; it took time and attention.“You should have had breakfast at your own house.” This time, I interrupted him while he ate.Come on, this place isn’t a shelter, and I’m not going to keep cooking for him. I mean, I intended to cook for Miles and Genna. It’s been a long time since I cooked, with how busy and mentally overwhelmed I’ve been.And I find that cooking helps me relax.He looked at me with a still-happy expression. “I’m sorry. It’s just that your cooking is really good.”Ah, I almost slammed the table right then. The words coming out of his mouth were infuriating. Did he forget that I cooked for him every day and he never even touched it?He said it was pointless. Every day, I thought he di
CassandraThis was an accidental encounter.Liza and I had to meet a client. Everything went well, and because I understood the case thoroughly, I was confident I could win it for them.As I was walking to go home, I saw Sebastian’s secretary. He was sitting with Ellen and Paul.Don’t get me wrong, I’m not the type of person who likes to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations.It’s just that they were related to me, and since the two of them had never contacted me, I felt this might have something to do with me.Acting differently than usual, I listened to their conversation.“Sir Sebastian asked you not to force a meeting.”Alden’s voice sounded. Calm, as always.I didn’t hear a reply for a few seconds, and a sense of hesitation rose within me. As I glanced at Liza, who was eavesdropping with me, she looked ready to help me if needed.“At least just once, we want to meet Miles. He is our grandson.” Ellen said.I held my breath the moment I heard her words. All this time, I believe
SebastianYesterday you watched the orchestra with Cassandra. When she said it was her favorite orchestra, I was truly shocked.I never knew that, and she made it seem as if I had clearly lied about it.It was a bitter truth to admit that I was actually being honest at that moment, showing just how little I really knew about her.After that, I finally met Adrian. The man looked at me with a smile on his face.“You had a good time with Cassandra, right?”I felt like he was fucking mocking me. But I couldn’t get angry, other than glaring at him sharply. It felt like I was being defeated by this man.I knew he was a good friend, even though he sometimes behaved outrageously.Back when I was in a relationship with Isabella, he always acted as her defender. Even though I knew he liked Isabella, I never pushed him away. Because he truly helped her.“How did you even know Cassandra’s favorite orchestra group?”I really wanted to know something that even I didn’t know. I was sure he deliberat
CassandraI keep telling myself that man is cunning. I’m sure he planned all of this just so I would go with him.He even knew my favorite orchestra. Of course that wasn’t a coincidence. Sebastian Monclaire must have looked it up and then pushed Miles to convince me to go with him.And now, here I am, sitting in the same car with him on the way to watch the orchestra I love.As I look at him, the man can’t even hide his smile. And then I can’t stop myself from asking him:“How did you find out I like Royal Crescendo? You planned this, didn’t you?”I folded my arms as I questioned him.I waited for his answer, but he looked confused. Oh please, obviously he planned this.He shook his head. Something I dislike about him, trying to lie to me.“It’s a coincidence.” He said, completely unbelievable.“Sebastian, I know you. This is definitely not a coincidence.”When we were married, I had attended several of their orchestra performances. I went alone, hiding my identity and burying the hea
SebastianOnce again, I saw her as she walked past me. She was dressed casually, a loose white shirt and short black pants. It was obvious she didn’t care that I had been here for two hours already, waiting to play with Miles.Meanwhile, I had been restless, thinking about something.Honestly, I enjoyed the beautiful sight of her. That messy bun only made her look even more attractive. I cleared my throat, my desire at this moment was quite dangerous.She would definitely be furious if she knew what I was thinking. Yeah… those dirty thoughts. Back when she was my wife, I never thought like that. I think I was really stupid for ignoring her incredibly beautiful body.Seeing the shape of her curves even through the loose movement of that shirt was already overwhelming. Once again, I lowered my head so my desire wouldn’t show.My body temperature had risen, and my face was probably red. I’d be a complete fool to act improperly around Miles.“Is there something you want to talk to Mom abo
