Broken Engagement His Uncle's Bride (Serena and Trevor) novel Chapter 265

Sebastian chuckled under his breath. “So what exactly do you expect me to pretend?”

“We pretend we’re ready to fund him, then pull the plug right before the deal closes. Something like that?” Serena ventured carefully.

Deep down, she doubted he would go along with something that childish.

To her surprise, he simply nodded. “Okay.”

He brushed a finger over the bridge of her nose. “How am I supposed to refuse my own wife?”

Then his tone shifted. “But since I’m meeting your request, shouldn’t I collect a little extra in return?”

His lips trailed to her ear, brushing and teasing until her breath faltered. Heat rushed to her face, and she lowered her eyes, mortified, wishing she could disappear.

“Well?” he murmured. “Do we have a deal?”

She mentally called him every name she could think of but still gave the faintest nod, cheeks blazing.

By the time he finally released her from the kiss, she was gasping for air.

“You’re unbelievable, Sebastian. So cheap!”

All she had wanted was a simple favor with no money involved, yet it somehow ended up with him demanding extra in return.

“Cheap?” He ran his tongue slowly across his lips, as if savoring the word. “Let me demonstrate what generous really means.”

Before she could step back, he claimed her mouth again.

The following morning, Serena marched out of the house in her heels, fury radiating from every step. She skipped breakfast entirely and swept past the dining room like a gust of wind.

Charles glanced after her retreating figure. “Sir, did something happen between you and Mrs. Levine?”

Sebastian continued eating, composed as ever. “We’re newlyweds; it’s just a bit of playful fun between us.”

He placed his cutlery down neatly and adjusted his tie. Her car had been sent in for maintenance the day before–she couldn’t have gone far.

He hadn’t intended to push things so far last night. But the little woman in his arms wouldn’t stop squirming.

And by the time she tried to escape, it had already been decided.

She had fallen into the grasp of a man who wouldn’t let

1. go.

Outwardly calm, Sebastian moved quickly. Yet when he stepped onto the driveway, it was empty–she was gone.

Has she left already?

After taking only a few days off for the wedding, Serena returned to the office.

She even brought some sweets to spread joy with everyone.

Shawn and the rest were stunned. They hadn’t believed she would go through with a whirlwind marriage so suddenly.

From Beaumont Legal, only Eugene had attended the ceremony. He alone knew who her husband really was.

That evening had shaken him. Influential figures from every major circle filled the venue, some even seated at his table. Despite his steady demeanor, his heart had pounded more than

once.

When Sebastian personally approached him for a toast, the message was clear–Serena mattered deeply to him.

Eugene now had contacts for half of Denton’s upper echelon saved in his phone.

Affection wasn’t proven with words; it was shown through actions, especially in how someone treated the people close to them.

For that reason alone, Eugene felt reassured. At the very least, Sebastian seemed reliable.

Still, genuine blessings always attract a few sour voices.
