To Raelynn, that voice was like a thorn. Every time she heard it, a wave of irrepressible annoyance washed over her.
She turned to look.
Not far away, two adults and a child had just stepped out of their car.
Shane Vance stood between Sebastian and Seraphina, acting as a bridge that made the three of them look incredibly tight-knit and intimate.
Sebastian was dressed slightly more casual today. His white dress shirt exuded a cold, aristocratic elegance. Beside him, Seraphina wore a matching white Chanel suit, clearly coordinated to compliment his outfit.
Their striking appearance turned heads.
Raelynn let out an involuntary scoff, her eyes brimming with mockery.
So Sebastian really was spending his entire day with Seraphina. While she was being shut out of Croix Holdings, they were out here living it up.
Ian glanced over as well.
His gaze was ice-cold.
Prompted by Shane's shout, Sebastian shifted his gaze, his dark eyes freezing for a few seconds.
Raelynn's tender interaction with the little girl, with Ian standing warmly beside them, made them look exactly like a picture-perfect family of three.
Seraphina frowned, then let out a silent, derisive sneer.
Sebastian's bottomless gaze swept over Raelynn and Ian, briefly lingering on the well-behaved Lily.
He gave a slight nod. "Mr. Hudson."
Ian asked, "Is this boy your son, Mr. Croix?"
Even Raelynn raised an eyebrow at that.
Sebastian's expression didn't change. "You misunderstand, Mr. Hudson. I don't have any children yet."
Ian looked at him, nodding slowly after a few seconds. "I assumed you had a secret marriage and a child hidden away. After all, you seem incredibly devoted to Ms. Vance and her family."
That remark...
Raelynn found the underlying sarcasm rather pointed.
Sebastian, on the other hand, showed no discomfort.
Seraphina, however, revelled in the comment. After all, to anyone looking, she and Sebastian looked exactly like a newlywed couple out with their child.
"Mr. Hudson, what a coincidence. Is this little girl your daughter?" she asked with a polite smile, acting as if she hadn't even noticed Raelynn.
Sebastian looked over as well.
Both men were VIP guests today. Even at a casual party, they needed to be properly hosted.
Several bystanders noticed the commotion.
They took in the fascinating scene.
It looked like two happy little families crossing paths.
People gathered around to say hello, eager to satisfy their curiosity. "Do Mr. Croix and Mr. Hudson both have kids now?"
Many people knew about Sebastian and Seraphina's affair.
But Ian's private life had always been air-tight.
Showing up suddenly with a child—and hearing the girl call him Daddy—was shocking.
It made everyone all the more curious about Raelynn.
After all, no one had heard a word about Ian getting married.
Seraphina immediately took the opportunity to draw the attention to herself. She quickly denied it, saying, "No, this is my little brother. We don't have kids yet."
The moment she spoke, the crowd's focus shifted away from Ian and Raelynn.

No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
