Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 80 It's the truth.

In her eyes, Chris Ashford saying "marry" today was just a sign that his brain was scrambled.

Of course, this state wouldn't last long; once he faced Olivia, he'd snap back to reality.

Sebastian Giovanni's gaze remained deep as he asked, "What about Stef?” "What's wrong with me?" Her mind was clear.

She could distinguish between nonsense and sense.

Sebastian continued, "Stefi, are you happy?" "Happy about what? "He said he wants to marry you, Stephanie replied. "What's there to be happy about?" "You're already engaged to him.

Stephanie sighed, 'Engaged, engaged, it never ends! "My engagement is because of the Hart family." When it cto the engagement, the reasons were complicated.

There could be many reasons, but it definitely wasn't because of srumor that she liked Chris. Mentioning the Hart family made the atmosphere between them even more delicate.

Stephanie lowered her head, knowing that Sebastian hated it when she hid things from him. Even though she was the one being threatened back then, he still wanted to confront her.

As expected, he playfully flicked her forehead.

"Ouch!" Stephanie let out a muffled sound of pain.

Sebastian asked, "Will you dare to do it again next time?" "I won't, I won't!" Next twas a different matter, but she would never dare to defy him in front of Sebastian.

Seeing her like this, the depth in Sebastian's eyes softened a bit.

He picked her up and said, "Let's go eat." Stephanie thought, "This strength! 1/5 Chapter 80 He lifted her effortlessly, was he just that strong, or was she too light? "Putdown, I can walk myself." After all, this was her own studio, being carried out like this was so embarrassing. Sebastian looked down at her, his gaze deepening again "Am I not presentable?* "Of course you are." But not like this! Before she could react, Sebastian carried her out the door.

Elliot was waiting by the elevator.

When he saw Sebastian carrying Stephanie, the entire office held its breath.

Was this a sign of the man's promotion? Elliot approached respectfully. "Sir." Sebastian scanned the large office and casually said, "Order lunch from the Lobster House for them." Everyone's eyes lit up at his words.

Their boss' man was generous; he definitely deserved a promotion for such kindness.

With their boss being so generous, it was way better than that indecisive Chris..

Stephanie was carried into the car, burying her head in his chest, too shy to show her face.

Once inside, she rolled to the side.

"Bro, what are you doing?" What was this? Stephanie stammered, completely at a loss for words. She had grown up, really grown up.

It was one thing to hug at home, but in public? "What's wrong?" Seeing her panic, Sebastian smirked knowingly.

Stephanie said, “If this gets out, it could lead to misunderstandings.” "Even though you used to bathewhen I was little, things are different now. You'll have your own life, and I'll have mine." "If our future partners find out we're still this close, they definitely won't be happy." Stephanie didn't know what she said that upset Sebastian, but his smile faded, and his eyes turned cold.

Feeling the shift in his mood made her uneasy, In the next moment, he pulled her onto his lap.

2/5 11 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 80 Stephanie thought. Did my words just go in one ear and out the other? Or was he like Chris, completely oblivious to what she was saying? At that moment, she even started to doubt herself, wondering if she was speaking a foreign language.

Chris didn't understand, and neither did Sebastian.

What a headache.

His fingers, long and strong, gripped her chin. "Are you dating someone?!" "Wait, what?" Dating? That was a leap! "I just cleared things up with Chris; how could I be dating anyone?" Even if she wanted to, it wouldn't happen that quickly...

And then she caught herself, glancing at Sebastian, swallowing the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Instead, she added. "But it's bound to happen eventually." Saying that made her feel a bit uneasy.

Sebastian's eyes darkened slightly.

He released her, and Stephanie quickly scooted to the other side, relieved to be free.

Sebastian didn't say anything more, but he stared out the window, lost in thought.

His silence radiated an intimidating aura, making Stephanie hesitant to speak.

Eventually, he took her to a restaurant.

The food was light but decent.

Throughout the meal, his tension didn't ease.

Stephanie stole glances at him. "What's got you so upset?" After pondering for a while, she decided to just ask him directly.

Sebastian raised an eyebrow at her. Just eat your food!" Stephanie was speechless.

What had she done to deserve this? She racked her brain, convinced she hadn't said anything out of line Why was he suddenly angry? The meal felt tense, and Stephanie couldn't shake the feeling of walking on eggshells.

3/5 22:11 Mon, 3 Mar Chapter 50 Meanwhile, in the car, Chris had changed clothes.

His assistant, Kevin, cautiously asked, "Sir, should we go to the hospital to check on your leg?"

After leaving the hospital, Chris was walking with a slight limp, and Kevin was worried there might be an issue. As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere in the car turned cold.

48%

Kevin continued, "Also, Mrs. Hart mentioned that Olivia has started! chemotherapy. She's in a lot of pain and keeps asking to see you." Chris' mind was consumed with thoughts of Stephanie and that man, especially the gun he had seen.

Suddenly, a voice in his head urged him not to delay things with Stephanie any longer.

But did Stephanie really feel nothing for him after all this time? His chest tightened with anxiety.

"Sir, sir." Kevin, noticing Chris silence, called out to him a couple of times..

Chris snapped back to reality. "Let's go to the hospital." "Understood."

At the hospital, Olivia had undergone special treatment and was feeling a ve bit better her complexion improving.

But being sick was still a far cry from being healthy.

Just rest for a bit; I'll make a call, Catlin said, her mind racing with thoughts about Ella and Jennifer.

She felt utterly helpless when it cto Stephanie.

Thinking of her daughter made Catlin's heart sink.

"Okay, Mom, I'll be fine," Olivia replied, trying to be brave.

Seeing her daughter so understanding only made Catlin feel worse.

She stepped outside to make the call, leaving Olivia alone..

As soon as she was alone, Olivia's phone rang again. It was that number.

She wanted to block it but felt too scared.

Finally, she answered, "Hello?" "Did you really sendjust thirty thousand grand?" The man's deep voice was laced with anger.
