Sebastian’s gaze hardened in an instant. “Honey, business just isn’t your forte.”

Then he turned to Donald. “But Donald, I’ve been working on something recently that could breathe new life into Steele Tech. If you’re interested, my assistant can set up a meeting tomorrow.”

Donald’s excitement skyrocketed. “Sebastian, are you serious about this?”

“Absolutely,” Sebastian replied calmly, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

Serena felt a surge of pride in Sebastian tonight.

He had completely surpassed what she had anticipated.

While Donald excused himself to the restroom, she gently tugged at Sebastian’s sleeve. “Don’t actually go out of your way to help him.”

Sebastian let his fingers graze the back of her hand. “Relax. I’ve got this under control.”

By the end of the night, Donald had drunk far too much, requiring the butler to steady him to prevent a scene.

“Well, Sebastian, you’re incredible! Seriously, the best!

“Well, well, well, my daughter is officially Mrs. Levine!”

Serena’s eyes flashed with irritation; he was utterly mortifying.

“Let’s go.”

Sebastian drew her close. “That’s him. And you’re you. Don’t overthink it.”

Serena simply nodded.

There was no comparison. Donald didn’t even come close to deserving the title of her father.

“Mom! You actually divorced Dad?”

Kyana was still reeling from the news. She couldn’t process it.

“Mom, why did you two separate?”

Yvonne hadn’t wanted a divorce, but Donald had forced her hand by threatening her brother over the embezzlement.

She had no other option.

She had never imagined the man she once trusted could be so cruel.

Donald had promised her, even putting it in writing, that he would remarry her after securing the investment.

For now, Yvonne could forgive Donald, but she had no leniency left for Serena.

Serena had been ruthless from the start, leaving Yvonne with no reason to show any mercy.

Sebastian watched his wife curiously. “You and your dad clearly have issues. You don’t want me to step in and help your family’s business?”

Serena dismissed him without hesitation. “Absolutely not. Don’t even think about it.

“And even if you did, I wouldn’t show you any gratitude.”

The rift between her and Donald wasn’t something that could be explained in a few sentences.

Serena had no intention of revealing it.

Sebastian held her eyes, lips pressed together, silent.

If she chose not to speak, he wouldn’t push.

Yet a dull sense of disappointment lingered in his chest.

That night, he didn’t let her go until well past one in the morning.

The next day, with dark circles under her eyes, Serena handed him a sheet of paper outlining strict new rules.

“Three times a week at most. Sign here and leave a fingerprint.”

Sebastian frowned. “I’m not signing. Three is far too few.”

Serena pointed at her face. “Look at these dark circles! I have work to do. I can’t be up all

Sebastian remained firm. “Then we start earlier. I’ll make sure you’re in bed by midnight.”

Serena glared, furious. “Three times is too few?”

“Honey, I’m married now. You can’t seriously expect me to handle my own physical needs every single night, right?”

Her cheeks burned bright red at his words.

She didn’t want to admit it—but she understood perfectly.

“Five nights a week. No less. I’m even giving you two days off.”

Sebastian didn’t wait for her response. For once, he left first.

He did, however, leave his driver behind for her.

Patrick was waiting in the car. Serena glanced at the ostentatious vehicle and shook her head. “Can we switch to a different one?”

She didn’t want to draw attention arriving at work like that.

Patrick jumped out quickly. “Of course, Mrs. Levine. Which one would you prefer?”

Surveying Sebastian’s garage, Serena said, “Choose the cheapest option.”

Patrick hesitated for a moment. “How about this one?”
