Anyway, Stephanie felt like Chris was completely clueless, and so was everyone around him.
Useless, the lot of them.
A 66-year-old guy? Seriously, where did they even dig up that info?
“Didn’t you say you'd be back in two hours? You're early.”
She'd called him earlier, and he'd told her to go to bed without him.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. “Are you losing all self-control at night now?”
Stephanie blinked, “Huh?”
“You're a grown woman. Don’t you worry about gaining weight? Eating so much.”
He was actually concerned she'd make herself sick. That's why he’d rushed back.
Stephanie’s lips twitched. “You cback just for that?”
“Is that not a good enough reason?”
Stephanie was speechless.
More than enough!
“Well, | haven't been eating properly before,” she mumbled.
Sebastian hummed in question.
“Nothing, never mind.”
She quickly buried her face in his chest, not daring to say another word.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Sebastian had heard it all. He gently stroked her slender back, his touch full of affection. He knew she hadn't
been eating well all these years.
Why else would she be bingeing these past few days, craving this and that?
“Ele,”
“Hmm?”
“When are we going back to Fiorenza?”
This city was annoying. She hated it here.
“There are still a few things to take care of. If they're bothering you, I'll have Elliot deal with them.”
Sebastian's voice lost sof its tenderness when he mentioned Elliot taking care of things.
His precious girl, being bullied like this... Hmph.
The next few days, Stephanie was busy with her studio, and Catlin kept dodging the lawyer.

Catlin had hidden herself away after that hospital visit, avoiding signing the disownment agreement.
What were these people so afraid of, anyway?
But Elliot had made sprogress on tracing the three hundred thousand dollars that Olivia had spent....
On the morning of the third day.
On the third morning, Stephanie woke up to a text message: “I'm getting discharged in four days!”
Stephanie was speechless.
It was from Olivia, a new number.
She'd been texting her for the past two days, constantly reminding her when she’d be out of the hospital.
Stephanie found it kind of hilarious.
What did her discharge have to do with her?
She'd blocked yesterday’s number, and now Olivia was using another one.
Where did these people get so many numbers?
No matter. She'd block every single one.
She didn’t believe she couldn't block them all!
4.90%
She'd thought about changing her own number, but figured if these people were so desperate to annoy her,
they'd just find her in person.
She didn’t have the patience to deal with them, or the energy to beat them up.
Unlike yesterday, Olivia added another message today: “I'll be staying at Whispering Bay as soon as I'm
discharged. Chris toldyou also like watching the sunrise.”
A blatant, boastful show-off.
And so confident.
Stephanie chuckled. So that’s what this was all about.
For once, she didn’t stay silent like the previous two days.
She quickly typed a reply: “Whispering Bay? Good luck getting in.”
‘Go ahead and brag. It'll just be another joke."
Olivia: “Chris personally promised me. There won't be any changes.”
She sounded so sure, truly believing Chris. Stephanie scoffed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStephanie scoffed: “Well, | wish you success!”
Message sent, number blocked.
Stephanie was always decisive with these people. The moment she realized it was them, she blocked them
immediately.
That's why it was so hard for the Harts and Chris to reach her now.
