After wrapping up the report on the Hodge Group's work, Elliot answered a call.
As he hung up, he glanced at Stephanie. At that moment, Macro was removing the needles from Stephanie, who
was too terrified to watch.
Sebastian, helplessness, covered her eyes. Even so, she couldn't help but let out soft, frightened whimper.
Sebastian whispered soothingly. “It’s okay, it’s all over now.”
Stephanie cautiously asked. “This is the last time, right?”
“Don’t even think about it.” Macro said bluntly. “You need to do this continuously for a month. Given your current
condition, it's at least once every three days.”
Stephanie's eyes widened in horror, and tears almost spilled out.
Sebastian shot Macro a cold look, signaling him to be quiet.
Macro retorted. Im just telling the truth so she can be mentally prepared.”
Sebastian replied indifferently, “She doesn’t need to be.”
Fine, just spoil her, Marco judged Sebastian in his mind.
That meant every tStephanie cfor acupuncture, Sebastian would coax her.
He had seen for himself how difficult Stephanie was to coax. This was a waste of time.
Marco thought it was better to let her accept reality and prepare herself mentally, but Sebastian obviously
wanted to spoil her and he didn’t dare say anything more.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMacro pulled all the needles off and sorted through them in a huff.
Elliot stepped forward and said calmly, “Miss Giovanni, a lady by the nof Hart is here. She wants to see
you.”
There was no doubt it was Catlin. Why is she here to see me? What could it be for?"
Stephanie narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment. ‘Find out why the Hart Group is in trouble? Not bad,
much more efficient than Chris
Chris had been investigating the owner of Whispering Bay for a long twithout any results.
But the Harts were quite impressive, managing to get to the root of the problems they were facing in such a
short time.
Stephanie and Sebastian exchanged a glance.
Sebastian gently rubbed her soft hair and asked, “Want to see her?”
Stephanie shook her head. “No.”
They signed a disownment agreement. The whole Long Harbor knew that she had nothing to do with the Hart
family.
If she was going to cut ties, it had to be done completely and cleanly. She didn’t want to see anyone from the
Hart family. Sebastian signaled Elliot with a look.

Elliot nodded in understanding and turned to leave.
Seeing the way Sebastian looked at Stephanie, Macro quickly gathered his things and left so as to not be a third
wheel.

With only Stephanie and Sebastian left, Sebastian squeezed her delicate hand and asked, “Have they been
bullying you?”
By “they,” he meant Chris and the entire Hart family.
“Not really,” Stephanie replied.
After all, if she were the one who suffered unilaterally, it might be “being bullied”, but that wasn’t the case.
Hearing her response, Sebastian's cold expression softened slightly. He lifted her small hand to his lips.
The warmth from his lips touched her palm, just as it had when they were children.
When Stephanie was a child, Sebastian loved her little hands. Whenever he was gentle with her, he would kiss
her palm.
Now, as he kissed her hand again, Stephanie felt her entire body grow warm.
She instinctively tried to pull her hand back, but Sebastian released it first.
He flicked her nose, bringing her back to her senses.
Her face turned even redder.
Stephanie grumbled, “I'm not a little kid anymore.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hmm, you've grown up. You've beca lady now,” he said softly.
Stephanie was silent for a moment.
-Hearing the words “lady”, she couldn't shake the feeling that there was something unusual in Sebastian's tone.
“What do you feel like eating tonight?” asked Sebastian.
“The local specialty,” replied without hesitation.
She had heard that the Steamed Pork in Mount Spring was delicious, made with pickled vegetables and smoked
with camphor leaves.
“I've also heard that the Spicy Duck here is very good,” Stephanie added thoughtfully.
Many companies would buy Spicy Duck in Mount Spring as a year-end gift, and Stephanie wanted to try it too.
Sebastian nodded. “Alright.” He would indulge her wishes.
Catlin saw that the man in front her was the one who had injured Tyler before, and she felt a surge of anger.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely have let it out.
