Sebastian Brenand’s words were like the last nail in his mother's coffin.She felt even more hurt now.After taking a deep breath, she pointed her trembling finger at his nose. “Sebastian, you sure are something.”“Yes, you hate me thoroughly, don’t you?" he snickered. "Remember this feeling. If you ever think about coming to find me in the future, reflect on this feeling, and you won’t want to see me after that.“Bring back that uncompromising spirit of yours when you got rid of Rachel. You shouldn't keep clinging onto things when you are both heartless, remember?”“Sebastian!” she screamed in agony.They were heartless, but only to outsiders.They couldn’t possibly be heartless enough to cut off all ties with their son.Back then, they only persevered because they thought he would always return home to them no matter what they did.However, out of pride, she didn’t respond. She couldn’t utter a single word except to point an accusing finger at her son's nose.Sebastian was
Sebastian Brenand took his phone and keys before leaving the office, driving his new red Ferarri to the supermarket to buy some groceries for his wife.His Ferrari was a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition sports car that attracted much attention on the road.Numerous women couldn’t stop staring at it.Sebastian, who was at the center of attention, never once looked at anyone else, focusing solely on the car in front of him, the traffic lights, or pedestrians crossing the road.Soon, his car came to a stop in front of Goldfield Plaza, which was not too far away from his own company.People stopped in their tracks to ogle when his car stopped, while many women stared without averting their gazes.Their curious gazes landed not only on the flashy car but also at Sebastian, who was inside.He used to enjoy their attention in the past, but now, he couldn’t care less.While they watched, he got out of his car, casually swirling the key around his index finger as he entered the undergroun
Rachel Wood was sound asleep in their bedroom upstairs.The room was dark and quiet, with only a faint glow of light from outside.Sebastian Brenand could smell her Dior perfume, its scent sweet and lovely.He was exhausted after spending all day in the office, but he instantly felt better at the sight of his adorable wife in bed.He approached her in the dark to avoid waking her up, gazing at her face with what little light he had.She didn’t make any sound in her sleep.It was a peaceful sight for Sebastian.He reached out to caress her face gently before standing up and then turning to leave.He wanted to start preparing dinner for her, so he headed to the kitchen. His phone started ringing before he could get to work.The caller had an unknown number.Recently, his mother was trying to contact him with various unknown numbers.It had happened so many times now that he felt annoyed whenever he saw such numbers.He pressed the button to cancel the call, setting his phone
Rachel Wood never thought Sebastian Brenand would one day resemble a stay-at-home husband in the past.That was a phrase that would never be used to describe him back then.He was never the type to do laundry or other household chores, let alone cook.She stood by the door and silently observed him for a very long time before walking up to embrace him tightly from behind.The simple hug instantly made both their hearts melt.“Honey, you’re cooking,” she said.“Yes, I’m cooking your favorite asparagus dish," he answered as he looked back over his shoulder at her. "I've already cooked stir-fried shrimps, steamed fish, and a beef stew. I’ll make a cucumber salad and oysters with garlic sauce later.“I’ve also boiled your favorite herbal chicken soup and soaked some bird’s nests that I’ll prepare for you before bed. It's good for you and the baby,” he told her.At that moment, Sebastian did look like a model house-husband.Her heart warmed at the thought.“Thank you, Honey.”He
Sebastian Brenand leaned forward and placed his hands on his thighs as he gazed at Rachel Wood.He was waiting for her to kiss him, but she started to blush.She punched his shoulder gently. “You’re annoying. Dr. Harris already said this is a unique phase. We should avoid having intimate interactions and doing anything too intense.”Sebastian had a playful look in his eyes when he heard this. “In that case, tell me. Are you worried you might lose control or that I will?”Rachel’s face turned even redder then.She frowned slightly. “Of course, it’s you.”“What? Why do I feel that you’ve always been the one to lose control not too long ago?” he asked incredulously.Rachel was at a loss for words.She gently punched his shoulder again. “You’re so annoying. I’m going to ignore you. Get away from me.”With that, she pushed him away and proceeded to leave the kitchen.He suddenly pulled her into his arms before she could react, pressing his lips against hers.She felt her heart po
Rachel Wood looked perfect to Sebastian Brenand.She was the most beautiful woman to him.She gazed at Sebastian helplessly, feeling embarrassed by his compliments. “Can you stop? Do you want me to die of embarrassment? I’m hardly the most beautiful person.”“In my eyes, you’re more beautiful than anyone else,” he told her.“Must you exaggerate?” she sighed in exasperation.“I’m only speaking the truth.”Rachel didn’t bother replying and continued to enjoy the delicious food.With good food and the person she loved by her side, she was already the luckiest girl in the world.Once she had eaten enough, she stood up slowly and looked at her husband. “Why don’t you let me do the dishes? I’ve been doing nothing at home every day. I’m so bored.”Sebastian immediately walked over and picked her up into his arms. “No way!”“What are you doing? Put me down, Sebastian. I can walk on my own,” she protested.“Nope, I want to take you upstairs to rest,” he said.“You really don’t have
“Not much. I just want you to get Sebastian to pick up his phone,” Sebastian Brenand’s mother said.Rachel Wood honestly couldn’t be bothered to say another word to her.Feeling physically disgusted, she frowned and walked downstairs with her phone, handing it over to Sebastian before returning upstairs without a word.He recognized the phone number. “Why did you call Rachel?”“You wouldn’t pick up. I had no choice but to call her instead,” his mother replied.“Didn’t Rachel give you a piece of her mind?” he said, sneering.“No, she didn’t even say anything to me. She was rather rude,” she scoffed with a look of contempt as she spoke about her daughter-in-law.Fury overcame Sebastian at her words.“Can you still recall what you did to her? Ignoring you is the kindest thing she could do to you. Have you no shame?" he snickered with disgust. “Also, I don’t care what you’re trying to do. All I want to tell you is to stop contacting us. We are no longer related,” he spat out befo
Xyla Quest was stunned as soon as she read its contents.“Dear Xyla, by the time you read this letter, I’d be long gone from your world.“I suppose I would’ve died after getting rid of the nine-tailed demon fox that tried to harm you all this while.“Honestly, I was lying when I told you I wasn’t feeling well. I left because I wanted to find and kill the demon fox. I intended to get rid of the threat for you and my brother.“Unfortunately, I acquired the opportunity to get rid of the demon fox in exchange for never being able to reincarnate.“I hope you and my brother will always be happy. Forget about me.”Xyla was bawling her eyes out by the end of the letter. It explained why her days had been so peaceful lately.Sophie Kenwick had solved all her problems.The greatest threat to Xyla and Stanley Batton’s lives was finally gone because of Sophie.Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to feel happy at all.She wanted to know who Sophie made this deal with and why she had made such
