Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34: His Declaration

At the grand entrance of the sprawling estate, a sleek Maybach glided to a smooth halt, its polished exterior gleaming under the soft afternoon light.

Foster emerged from the driver’s seat, holding out the keys to Sebastian with a calm, practiced gesture.

Sebastian accepted them without a word, then gently guided Lilian toward the passenger side. His movements were careful and deliberate as he helped her settle in and fastened her seatbelt, ensuring her comfort. After that, he circled around to the driver’s door, slid in, and started the engine with a quiet hum.

Inside the car, Lilian stole a glance at him from the corner of her eye, her mind swirling with confusion. After everything that had transpired between them recently, she found it impossible to decipher his true intentions. A man of his status and allure should never lack attention from women—so why was he so persistently drawn to her?

The sting of past betrayals tightened her chest, making her instinctively want to pull away, to protect herself from further hurt.

As the car cruised steadily along the road, Lilian’s gaze drifted out the window. Her voice was cool, almost detached. “Sebastian, I’m an orphan. I don’t have any interest in whatever rich-boy games you might be playing. So please, just stay away from me.”

A flicker of amusement danced in Sebastian’s deep eyes. His voice was low and smooth, carrying a quiet confidence. “And how do you know that I’m playing a game? I told you—I intend to repay my debt with my life.”

A soft blush crept over Lilian’s cheeks, and she quickly looked away, her tone awkward and uncertain. “You don’t have to do that. Saving you was just a coincidence. Even if it hadn’t been you trapped in that cave, I still would have helped. So don’t waste your time on me. I don’t have the strength to deal with this.”

She was just an orphan—no power, no connections, no impressive lineage. Compared to a man like Sebastian, even the Sinclair family seemed insignificant.

Having endured betrayal and manipulation in her past life, Lilian had no desire to trust anyone ever again.

Sebastian caught the brief sadness flickering in her eyes. His voice softened, steady and sincere. “You saved me. That alone binds us—whether you want it or not. No one can change that. I’m not asking for a promise right now. I just want us to have a chance. A chance to understand each other. Is that too much to ask?”

His hopeful gaze stirred something deep within her. Doubt and caution warred in her heart. She turned away, unable to meet his eyes. “But I’m just an orphan. No name, no family, no connections. People like you… don’t you always care about background above everything else?”

As they neared the towering company building, Sebastian eased the car to a stop and parked. His dark, intense eyes locked onto hers with unwavering focus.
