Hellbound Heart novel Chapter 42

When Sebastian woke up, he found that he was alone on the bed. His brows creased a little as he looked next to him. Putting his hand on the empty spot beside him, he felt that it was cool to the touch. She must have left for quite a while already.

Climbing off the bed, Sebastian went to the window and pushed the curtains aside to gaze outside. It was still quite early in the morning. Was Izabelle an early bird?

Still, he had not expected her to be the first to leave the bed. And to think that he was not woken up when she left.

The lines between his forehead deepened and his expression darkened as he realized that he was already thinking of nothing else, but all things related to her as soon as he woke up. Why did such a thing even matter to him?

Displeasure was etched over his handsome face as he strode over to the bathroom. The woman can do whatever she wanted. It was not like she had to wait for him to get up.

By the time he was done getting ready and left their room, his expression was now devoid of any readable emotions.

"Your Highness," a butler approached him and bowed in greeting, "if you're looking for the princess, she's having tea in the garden with Madam Abigail."

Sebastian's eyes twitched as he looked at the butler, his mood suddenly souring, causing the butler's eyes to dart to the side and tensed up. He was not sure what he had done wrong for the prince to look at him like that. All he did was to inform him of the princess' whereabouts.

"Yo! Sebby!" Alexander's voice rang out from behind him, granting the perfect excuse for the butler to escape. The butler bowed low to Sebastian, immediately turning around and leaving after excusing himself.

In the garden, Elle and Abigail were merrily chatting over tea and finger food prepared by the kitchen, while enjoying the morning sun when Alexander arrived with Sebastian in tow. Elle's smile faltered slightly for a moment when she lifted her gaze and met Sebastian's stormy eyes. But she was quick to flash him a smile before turning to face Abigail again as the two men settled themselves next to their respective wives.
