A woman's voice cut through the chatter. "Seb, over here."
Raelynn froze.
She looked up.
Seraphina and Sebastian were walking right toward them, taking the seats directly across from her and Lily.
They clearly noticed them as well.
Sebastian's dark eyes were unreadable as he cast a brief glance at Lily.
He then pulled out his chair and sat down.
Raelynn fought the sudden urge to flip the table and walk out. But she couldn't make a scene on someone else's turf, and she didn't want to confuse Lily with a sudden outburst.
When Seraphina saw Raelynn, a strange, calculated glint flashed in her eyes.
She absentmindedly reached up, brushing her fingers against the pendant resting against her collarbone.
Plenty of people in the room recognized Sebastian, and several stopped by their table to network and exchange pleasantries.
Raelynn ignored all of it.
She focused entirely on serving food onto Lily's plate.
Lily wasn't a fussy child at all. Aside from a few specific food allergies, she ate whatever was put in front of her and was incredibly easy to care for.
Eventually, the socializing across the table died down.
Seraphina's voice drifted over, laced with a sultry sweetness. "Seb, there's a pool party on the rooftop later tonight. It's a swimwear theme. My brother... I mean, Mr. Yves's hotel is famous for its rooftop pool. Want to head up there together later?"
Sebastian was busy scrolling through a constant stream of work emails.
He responded without looking up, indulging her request. "Whatever you want to do."
A faint blush crept onto Seraphina's cheeks. She stood up to grab some champagne from the nearby beverage station. Her eyes darkened as she stared at the rows of drinks lined up on the table.
She took her time before returning to her seat.
She placed one of the flutes right next to his hand, making sure her voice was perfectly audible—whether by accident or design. "Since I knew we were staying here, I made sure to pack a few stunning bikinis. And the rooftop has a few very secluded, private pools."
Raelynn heard every single word loud and clear.
She glared coldly at Raelynn.
That woman was such a nuisance. She was always pulling some stunt to steal his attention!
Raelynn finally looked up, noticing his gesture.
She also noticed the venomous glare Seraphina was shooting her.
Lily looked at Sebastian with slight confusion.
"Thank you, Mister," Lily said politely as she took the napkins.
She completely ignored Seraphina.
Even at her age, Lily could tell that this lady was mean to her mother, and she was firmly on Team Mom.
Sebastian stared at the little girl's innocent, beautiful face for a long moment before giving a soft murmur of acknowledgment. He then made a move to stand up.
Seraphina frowned. She picked up her own glass and clinked it against his untouched champagne. "Seb, aren't you going to try it? It's really good."
Sebastian finally looked down at the glass. He picked it up and downed it in one smooth motion.

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...
