**CONTENT: Chapter 340 Triny’s Discovery**
Sebastian gazed down, his heart swelling with warmth as he held the little girl close, his fingers tenderly brushing away the beads of perspiration that clung to her forehead. “You just strolled into Kingston without a single warning,” he teased, the playful reproach in his voice mingling with genuine affection, his eyes sparkling with delight.
Lillian’s face lit up with a mischievous glint, her eyes shimmering with excitement. “I wanted to surprise you! So, what do you think? Did I manage to pull it off? Are you genuinely surprised? Was it truly unexpected?”
He chuckled, nodding enthusiastically, his grin infectious. “Oh, absolutely! You’ve caught me completely off guard! Quite the delightful surprise, I must admit. But, you know, if you had thrown in a kiss as well, it would have been utterly perfect.”
With a dramatic roll of her eyes, Lillian shot back, “Now you really are pushing your luck. First, you want a kiss; next, you’ll probably suggest I should wrap myself up as a gift and deliver myself to you. Am I right?”
Sebastian’s expression transformed, an impish spark igniting in his eyes. “If you did wrap yourself up and sent yourself my way, I wouldn’t hesitate for a moment to claim you.”
A soft laugh bubbled from Lillian’s lips, her heart fluttering at the intensity of his gaze. “Oh, Sebastian, I almost regret coming here. I want to return the goods. Return, return, return!” She realized, with a mix of amusement and exasperation, that this man had a remarkable talent for flirting with her at the most unexpected moments. The aloof, untouchable Mr. Whitmore she had once known seemed to have vanished, replaced by a charming rogue who was anything but shy.
Sebastian tightened his embrace around her waist, lowering his voice to a sultry whisper that sent delightful shivers down her spine. “No returns after purchase. Lillian, in this life and in every life that follows, you will forever belong to me.”
A helpless smile danced on Lillian’s lips, warmth radiating through her. “Alright then, for the sake of your handsome face, I’ll begrudgingly agree.”
Her playful, glimmering eyes drew him in further, prompting him to reach out and gently trace her delicate nose with a fingertip, a grin spreading across his face. “Smart kids deserve rewards,” he said, leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Empire Group Tower, a group of employees passing by halted in their tracks, their eyes wide with disbelief. They had never imagined their typically cold and unapproachable chairman would display such warmth and affection, a stark contrast to the stern demeanor they were accustomed to.
Yet, as Sebastian and Lillian reveled in their shared moment, a heavy, oppressive cloud loomed in the dimly lit corner of a nearby bar, casting a shadow over a different reality.
Triny sat in a booth, downing glass after glass, each sip a desperate attempt to drown her sorrows. Her friend and confidante, Ariana, swiftly snatched the bottle from her grasp, concern etched across her features. “Triny, you need to stop this madness. What you saw might not be what you think it is.”
“Really? Do you genuinely believe that’s possible?” Triny scoffed bitterly, reaching for yet another bottle, her heart heavy with despair and confusion.
“Of course it’s possible,” Ariana insisted, her voice firm yet gentle. “That girl could simply be a friend’s younger sister or something. And honestly, she looks so young. With the kind of man my cousin is, do you really think he would go for someone so much younger?”
Yet, even as she spoke those words, a flicker of uncertainty crept into Ariana’s tone, betraying her own doubts.
