Chapter 61: Don’t Get Too Close to Sebastian

Morning at Adele’s apartment felt far calmer than the chaos inside the Ashcroft estate.Elena was sitting on the living room floor, busily scribbling random drawings into her coloring book.Meanwhile, Sebastian stood near the kitchen counter making coffee.Adele had just opened an email on her tablet when her brows slowly furrowed.“What is it?” Sebastian asked without turning around.Adele didn’t answer right away.Her gaze remained fixed on the screen.“Margaret Ashcroft invited me to lunch.”Sebastian immediately stopped moving.He slowly turned around.“When?”“Tomorrow.”Their eyes met for a few seconds.And both of them instantly understood—This was not an ordinary invitation.Sebastian walked closer and took the tablet from Adele’s hand.The email was short.Formal.But it clearly felt like a declaration of war.“The old woman’s starting to lose patience,” Sebastian muttered quietly.Adele leaned back casually against the sofa.“I guess she finally decided to step in personall

Chapter 62: An Unfriendly Lunch

After the call ended, the apartment’s living room immediately felt much quieter.Sebastian placed a small plate of bread in front of Elena before finally turning toward Adele.“That man is really starting to lose his mind.”Adele slowly turned off her phone screen.“You sound annoyed.”“I am annoyed.”The answer came out too honestly.Adele’s gaze lingered on the man in front of her for several seconds.Sebastian rarely showed his emotions this clearly.And that only made everything feel even more complicated.“Elena, eat slowly,” Sebastian said suddenly when he saw the little girl nearly spill her milk.Elena immediately giggled.Meanwhile, Adele continued watching Sebastian quietly.“You don’t like that Leonard is becoming serious,” she murmured softly.Sebastian let out a short breath.“I don’t like Leonard starting to think he deserves you.”The words made Adele’s chest tighten slightly.Because there was something in Sebastian’s tone that sounded far too real now.And she wasn’t

Chapter 63: A Confession Deliberately Created

Margaret’s question lingered in the large dining room for several seconds.The older woman’s gaze remained fixed on Adele.Observing.Searching for the slightest crack.Meanwhile, Adele remained seated calmly, holding her teacup.“No,” she finally answered. “I only met Leonard at that gala.”Margaret did not respond immediately.Her gaze lingered for a few moments longer, as though trying to read something from Adele’s face.But as always—There was nothing easy to uncover from that woman.“Interesting,” Margaret murmured softly.Sebastian leaned back casually in his chair. “Grandmother is starting to sound like a detective.”“You’re talking too much today.”“That’s because your questions are too personal.”Margaret ignored the comment before looking back at Adele.“Then I’ll speak plainly.”The room instantly felt heavier.Even Sebastian slowly lowered his glass.“I don’t like Leonard getting too close to you.”This time, the words came without any pretense.Adele smiled faintly.“Yo

Chapter 64: A Love Kept Hidden

Leonard stood frozen in the dining room doorway.His gaze immediately locked onto Sebastian’s hand still resting over Adele’s fingers.And strangely—That simple sight hurt far more than it should have.“Leonard.”Margaret finally broke the silence as she leaned back casually in her chair.“You’re late.”But Leonard barely heard her.His eyes remained fixed on Adele.Meanwhile, the woman looked far too calm. She didn’t pull her hand away. She didn’t move away from Sebastian.And that instantly made Leonard’s chest burn.“I didn’t realize you were all having lunch together,” he finally said.Sebastian smiled faintly. “Now you do.”Leonard’s gaze immediately shifted toward his best friend.And for the first time—He genuinely felt like punching Sebastian in the face.Margaret quietly observed her grandson.Then the older woman said casually—“You don’t need to worry about Miss Laurent anymore.”Leonard frowned. “What do you mean, Grandmother?”Margaret’s gaze briefly shifted toward Seba

Chapter 65: Sebastian’s Hug and Kiss

After the call ended, the apartment living room fell completely silent.Adele’s phone still rested on the table.Meanwhile, Sebastian stood near the window, his jaw subtly tense.The rain outside had grown heavier that night.And Adele knew—The man was thinking about far too many things.“You don’t have to look like that,” she finally said.Sebastian let out a short, humorless laugh.“Like what?”“As if everything is starting to spiral out of control.”Sebastian slowly turned his gaze toward her.“Isn’t it?”Adele exhaled softly before rising from the sofa.“You’re thinking too much about Leonard.”“I’m more afraid that you’re thinking too much about him.”The words made Adele fall silent for a few seconds.But she didn’t avoid him.“I haven’t changed my mind.”Sebastian stared at the woman in front of him for a long moment.“He said he can’t live without you.”“That’s Leonard’s problem.”“You know he’s serious now.”Adele slowly walked closer.Her gaze remained calm.“And I’m still

Chapter 66: Leonard vs. Sebastian

Adele’s phone continued vibrating on the table.Leonard’s name still glowed across the screen.Meanwhile, Sebastian stood extremely close in front of her now.His gaze was no longer as calm as usual.“Choose now…” Sebastian repeated softly. “Are you going to answer it, or stay here with me?”Adele studied him for a few seconds.Then without saying much—She walked past the table.And declined Leonard’s call.A faint change crossed Sebastian’s expression.Meanwhile, Adele slowly stepped closer again.“Was that answer clear enough?”The corner of Sebastian’s lips curved slightly.“More or less.”But a few seconds later—The phone vibrated again.Leonard.Adele let out a soft sigh.“He’s unbelievably stubborn.”Sebastian leaned against the side of the table while watching her.“You can ignore him tonight.”Adele fell silent for a moment.Because the most complicated part of all this was—She didn’t actually want to give Leonard a clear rejection.Not yet.Not because of feelings.But bec

Chapter 67: Between Two Men

Sebastian’s words made the air on the apartment balcony feel much colder.On the other end of the call—Leonard fell silent for several seconds.Meanwhile, Sebastian continued holding the phone with a calm expression.But somehow, that calmness sounded the most dangerous of all.“Are you threatening me now?” Leonard finally asked quietly.Sebastian smiled faintly.“I’m just getting tired of hearing you talk about the woman who’s with me now.”Adele’s gaze immediately shifted toward Sebastian.Because his tone sounded far too real.No longer just part of their plan.And Leonard clearly caught that too.“Are you serious about all this nonsense?” Leonard said coldly.“What do you think?”Leonard clenched his jaw hard.Because the most infuriating part of all this was—Sebastian didn’t sound like he was joking at all.“I’ve known you too long, Sebastian.”“Then you should know when I’m serious.”The atmosphere on both sides of the call grew heavy once more.Rain continued falling softly o

Chapter 68: The Ashcroft Heir

A few days later—Morning at Leonard’s penthouse descended into chaos.Vanessa sat on the living room sofa, clutching her swollen stomach as her breathing turned uneven.The pain had been coming more frequently since dawn.And this time—It was far worse than before.“Leonard…”Her voice trembled.“I think the baby’s coming…”Leonard stepped out of his study wearing a dark suit, his expression remaining calm.His gaze briefly dropped to Vanessa, who was already sweating.“Then we should go to the hospital.”His tone was too flat.Too ordinary.Vanessa stared at him in disbelief.“I’m in pain…”“I know.” Leonard casually picked up his car keys. “Stop screaming. You’re giving me a headache.”The words instantly made Vanessa’s eyes burn.But the next contraction hit harder, leaving her almost unable to answer.An hour later—Vanessa was already settled into a VIP room at one of London’s finest private hospitals.Doctors and nurses busily prepared for her delivery.Meanwhile, Leonard stoo

Chapter 69: An Act That Made Vanessa Happy

That day—Leonard did not contact Adele at all.No calls.No text messages.No possessive tone like usual.And somehow—That was exactly what made everything feel strange.At the hospital, Leonard appeared far calmer than he had over the past few days.He even stayed beside Vanessa almost the entire day.Helping the nurses.Holding the baby from time to time.Even sitting quietly for long moments, watching the sleeping infant in the small crib beside the sofa.Vanessa observed all of it in silence.And slowly—She began to feel relieved again.Because Leonard seemed different after their son was born.Calmer.Warmer.As though he had finally realized what mattered most in his life.“I’ve never seen you pay this much attention to someone before,” Vanessa murmured softly while gently stroking the baby’s head.Leonard sat on the sofa holding a small milk bottle.His gaze lingered on the baby boy for several seconds.“He’s my son.”The answer sounded simple.Yet it was enough to make Vane

Chapter 70: The Remote Villa

Leonard’s car came to a stop right in front of the large classical-style villa.A light rain still fell over the quiet countryside road.Vanessa slowly studied the building before her while holding Ash, who was still sleeping soundly in her arms.The place was beautiful.Peaceful.Too peaceful.“I like it here,” she murmured softly.Leonard turned off the engine without saying much.His gaze shifted briefly toward the villa.Then to Vanessa.“Go inside first.”Vanessa gave a small smile before slowly opening the car door.Cold air immediately greeted them.Several servants were already standing in front of the villa entrance as though they had been waiting for hours.Vanessa began to feel as if everything had been prepared too carefully.But instead—She simply thought Leonard was trying to become a good father and future husband.Inside the villa—The massive room looked luxurious, yet strangely unfamiliar.No family photographs.No warmth that made it feel like home.Just a beautifu
