Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Stephanie asked herself if she was scared.

After witnessing these kinds of situations repeatedly with the Giovanni family, the fear she had felt the first tshe saw Sebastian take a life had long since faded.

She glanced indifferently at the lifeless body on the ground. "Was he one of Lancelot's men?" Stephanie had overheard Sebastian and Lorenzo discussing Lancelot back at Mount Spring. Sebastian nodded, then leaned in and kissed her cold lips, his movements slow and tender. Stephanie's mind buzzed for a second, and she instinctively pushed against Sebastian. "No way." 'For crying out loud, Sebastian, there's a dead body right here. And Elliot and the others are all watching. What are you trying to do? 'Are you seriously letting everyone see that the sister you raised for years has now becyour woman?' she wondered.

Elliot saw what Sebastian was doing to Stephanie, and even someone as composed as him felt his brain short- circuit for a moment.

He had more or less guessed what had happened last night. But seeing Sebastian openly kiss Stephanie like this was beyond anything they had expected.

His mind struggled to keep up, and he quickly turned around along with the rest of the bodyguards.

If even Elliot was having trouble processing this, Stephanie was no better.

She did not exactly see what had happened last night as something to be proud of. She had assumed that she and Sebastian would need tto figure things out and sort through their relationship.

But here he was, not giving anyone, including her, a chance to react.

Just as Stephanie was about to struggle, Sebastian caught her hand.

His deep voice, now tinged with something more sensual, whispered, "You still dare to run?" Stephanie stammered, "No, it's just " She could not even form a full sentence.

It was only when she started to feel breathless that Sebastian finally let her go.

At that moment, Stephanie was panting, her face flushed red.

Sebastian rested his forehead against hers. "Why did you chere? Hmm?” She always needed plenty of rest and food whenever she caught a cold. She had just eaten sfruit, and Sebastian had assumed she would take a proper nap, so he had told Elliot to bring Carl over.

Stephanie nestled against him, her voice muffled against his chest. "Sofia is coming." Sebastian froze for a moment. His chest tightened. “She called you?" Stephanie nodded. "She toldto pick her up from the airport in three hours." 1/4 Thu, 13 Mar Chapter 155 During the call just now, Sofia had threatened her in every way posible not to tell Sebastian. Bet the moment Stephanie hung up, she sold Sofia out without hesitation.

A trace of displeasure flickered through Sebastian's eyes, "Elliot," he called in a cold voice.

Elliot was still facing away from them. Upon hearing Sebastian, he respectfully turned around. “Yes, Mr. Giovanni? "Find out where Sofia is right now," Sebastian ordered.

For the past two years, Sofia had been turning the world upside down trying to find Stephanie.

Both Sebastian and Elliot knew exactly how furious Sofia was. And once she got to Stephanie, there was no way Stephanie would have an easy time.

Sofia was sharp; she was not easy to guard against.

Elliot nodded. "Understood." "When you find her, have her sent straight back. Keep a close eye on her. And tell the person responsible for watching her this tto be ready to face punishment," Sebastian said, his tone especially displeased.

Ever since Sofia had found out that Stephanie had been located, she had been causing a scene, demanding to cto Long Harbor and asking for Stephanie's number every single day.

Now she had even managed to sneak out. She had snerve.

Elliot nodded. "Yes." He turned and left, while Sebastian carried Stephanie in his arms and strode out of the billiards room.

-As he passed by Carl's lifeless body, his steps did not falter. However, he instinctively pressed Stephanie's face into his chest.

Feeling the pressure on the back of her head, Stephanie obediently remained still.

Sebastian carried her through the glass corridor and all the way back to her room. "What do you want for dinner?" he asked softly.

"Anything is fine," Stephanie replied.

She was unusually quiet. After witnessing what had just happened, her response was somewhat absentminded. Sebastian said, "It's snowing heavily today. How about-" "How about something spicy?" Stephanie finished his sentence before he could.

Whenever the weather got especially cold, she and Ella always went out for spicy food.

Sebastian tapped her forehead lightly. "Do you think you can handle that right now?" Stephanie pouted. "Alright, fine." She still had injuries, and given where they were, eating anything spicy was definitely out of the question.

Sebastian lowered his head, pressing his forehead against hers to check her temperature. "Your body temperature is still unstable." Stephanie instinctively pulled back, but her hands lost their balance, and she fell straight onto the bed.

2/4 Chapter 155 52% Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Stefi, what do you mean by that?" Stephanie's face froze instantly. "I, well, I just slipped, and that's all." 'Oh my god, I'm losing my mind. He leans in, and I just collapse onto the bed? That totally looks like an invitation! But I swear it's not!' she thought.

Her face turned red again. Everything that had happened since last night still felt like a dream. She had not even fully processed the shift in their relationship.

Instinctively, she grabbed the blanket and tried to pull it up. But before she could, Sebastian leaned down, and the moment his lips met hers, there was an undeniable depth of longing.

He had yearned for her for years. He had endured for so long. Now that he finally had her, he could not get enough. Just as things were about to spiral out of control, Sebastian suddenly pulled away.

Stephanie had already been feeling nervous, her cheeks flushed.

Now, seeing him withdraw so abruptly, she blinked in confusion, her wide, dewy eyes looking at him with pure innocence.

Sebastian's warm fingers brushed against the corner of her eye. "Save that look for later," he murmured.

"What?" Stephanie was still a little dazed.

Sebastian let out a helpless sigh, quickly stood up, and walked out without another word.

As he left, Stephanie noticed him deliberately tugging his shirt loose as if trying to cover something up.

That evening, Stephanie felt much better and went downstairs to eat dinner.

Sebastian had not cdown yet, and about ten minutes later, he appeared at the top of the stairs.

He was wearing a robe, and his damp hair was still dripping water.

Seeing Stephanie downstairs, he frowned slightly. "Why did you cdown? I will tell them to bring your meal to your room." "I wanted to eat here," Stephanie said. She did not like eating in her room.

Besides, if the food was brought to her room, Sebastian would definitely have them portion it out for her.

Right now, she was injured and needed to replenish her strength; she had to eat more.

Sure enough, as soon as she sat down, she started devouring her food.

Sebastian watched her with an unreadable expression but said nothing.

Stephanie looked up. “Why are you staring atlike that?" "You've already had two servings," Sebastian said.

She froze for a second. 'See? The moment night falls, he starts monitoring how much I eat, she thought.

"I'm injured. I need a lot of nutrients, so of course, I have to eat more." Stephanie reasoned.

Sebastian paused for a moment, then a small smile appeared on his lips. He nodded. “Not bad. That's a pretty solid excuse." 3/4 13:15 Thu, 13 Maria • Chapter 155 Stephanie muttered, “It's the truth." Saying that, she picked up a forkful of beef and put it on her plate.

Ever since Sebastian had chere, she had barely eaten her fill at night.

But today's meat was light and simple, which did not affect her appetite at all.

After dinner, Sebastian walked Stephanie back to her room. Then moment they arrived, he turned and grabbed the medicine box from the cabbefore heading toward her. Stephanie's breath hitched. "You? Wait. 1-1 can do it myself." Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Yourself?" Stephanie nodded furiously. "Yes, I can do it myself."

Sebastian chuckled. There was a newfound amusement in his m indulgent smile something that had never been there before. Stephanie suddenly had a bad feeling about this. 4/4 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
