Rachel Wood couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Sebastian Brenand. “It honestly isn’t necessary.”“It is necessary. Listen to me, all right?” Sebastian insisted, making her nod helplessly.He was more stubborn than anyone she knew. Once he’d made up his mind, nobody could convince him otherwise.She wouldn’t bother changing his mind on such small matters, so she let him have his way.“Sebastian, I think I’ll turn into a pig in three months if that’s the case,” she whined.“Why would that happen?”“I don’t even have to lift a finger to get anything I need. You’ll regret it when the time comes,” she answered.He had carried her into the bedroom and carefully lowered her on the bed by then.After that, he went down on one knee to gently remove her slippers before helping her to lie down.Although the temperature was just right in the room, he still pulled a thin duvet over her, making her feel even more like a baby.“Why would I regret it, hmm?” he murmured.“I won't look attrac

“Freedom is important to me, but you and our child are even more important. As long as we can be together, I’m willing to give up the freedom I’ve always yearned for,” Rachel Wood said.Sebastian Brenand felt very touched when he heard that.He hugged her tightly. “Thank you, Rachel. You’re such a kind and understanding person.“Do you have any idea how lucky I am to meet someone so gentle, pretty, and kind like you? You’ve helped me get rid of a lot of my bad habits.“Through you, I finally understand what it means to love and what a real family should be,” he expressed thoughtfully with a somber expression.“What about my parents? Should we tell them?” she wondered.“It’s up to you, but it’s better if we don’t, to be honest. That’s the safest option,” he answered.It made sense, so she agreed with a nod. “Then we won’t tell them. Once the baby is born, we’ll surprise them with news that they’ve become grandparents.”Sebastian felt his heart melting at her words. With a wife l

“No,” Sebastian Brenand replied.He never once looked up at Selena Underwood throughout the entire conversation.She felt even more confused. “Tell me why.”“It’s because I’m married. There’s only room for one woman in my heart,” he answered.“Is she pretty?”“Of course. She’s a hundred times prettier than you,” he said curtly.“I don’t believe that,” she scoffed. She had never seen a woman who was prettier than her.Even though she had never met Sebastian’s wife, she envied her for having a husband like him.“I don’t care if you believe me or not. If you don’t leave, I’m calling security and that won’t look good for you,” he threatened, wanting to end this conversation once and for all.Selena didn’t dare linger any longer after hearing that. She took a long inhale before directly turning around to leave.He began focusing on his work with a blank expression, pushing away any thoughts of what happened earlier from his mind.Although the woman was attractive, nobody could

Sebastian Brenand’s mother was furious to hear his reply.She felt like she had raised a rebel.How could he act this way, knowing that his father was in a critical condition?She clenched her fists tightly and glared at her son. “Don’t you care about your father at all? Aren’t you the least bit worried about him? Are you under that woman’s control? You don’t love anyone else apart from her, do you?”Sebastian couldn’t help but chuckle a little. “Yes. Congratulations, you’ve answered correctly. I don’t love anyone else apart from Rachel.“Whether my father lives or dies has nothing to do with me anymore. Didn’t I already tell you that nothing about you two concerns me anymore? You’re no longer my parents, and I’m no longer your son.“Our relationship was bound to end badly from the moment you did those things to Rachel,” he told her coldly, meaning every word he said.He would never forgive his parents.Having Rachel was enough.He couldn’t care less about everyone else.He w

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
