He scanned his code directly with the cashier.
She frowned, finally realizing Sebastian had appeared.
"All set," the cashier smiled brightly.
Sebastian gave a faint hum, then turned and effortlessly scooped up all three grocery bags.
"Let's go. The car is outside," he said, his tone entirely casual.
His sudden arrival made even Kyle uncomfortable.
The boy peeked at her nervously, terrified she might kick him out just because his father had shown up.
She easily picked up on his anxiety.
Throughout the entire exchange, she kept her expression perfectly blank.
Sebastian walked ahead, making no effort to strike up a conversation with her.
She knew, of course, that there was no way he didn't know Kyle was staying with her.
So his sudden appearance here wasn't exactly a shock.
She paused for a moment, looking at his back.
"Since you're back..." she started.
He cut her off instantly. "Weren't you going to cook for him? If I drag him home now, he'll throw a fit for days."
He hit the nail right on the head.
The tantrum was one thing.
But the crushing disappointment in Kyle's eyes would haunt her for days.
In the end, she yielded.
She let out a sigh.
"Get in," he ordered briefly.
But he didn't try to pull any overly intimate or suggestive moves.
He simply opened the passenger door and waited for her to get in.
Only then did he walk around to the driver's side.
Once she was seated, Kyle finally spoke up. "I was so scared you were going to send me back."
"I wouldn't," she said, feeling a bit awkward.
Because she had genuinely considered it.
Not to punish Kyle, but to spite Sebastian.
"I really didn't know he was coming back early. He told me he wouldn't be home until tomorrow night," Kyle rushed to explain.
The subtext was clear: this ambush had nothing to do with him.
