Shadows Between Us (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335

Sure, Stella replied.

Charles opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Landen just lost for words.

Both of them snapped their heads toward Stella. “What did you just say?!”

If you didn’t catch that, just forget it, Stella said, her long lashes drooping lazily and casting a faint shadow on her face. She reached for her coffee and took a slow sip.

Oh, I heard you loud and clear! Dr. Miracle, no backing out now! Landen cheered and winked at Stella.

Stella sighed helplessly.

Sebastian looked at Landen and felt awkward.

Bernard cleared his throat. “So, when are you heading to Jaffina to recruit people?”

In a few days, Stella replied lazily, shifting her gaze away from Landen. Even if it was just for Violet Bamboo, she wasn’t about to miss it.

Bernard asked, “Still got something else to do?” There was a hint of disappointment in his voice. He’d been hoping to take her back to Jaffina with him today.

Yeah, Stella said, her tone as lazy as ever. “Just a little trouble.”

Allan asked, curiosity in his voice, “Trouble? Stella, what kind of trouble? Morgan and I can help you if you say something nice?”

Sebastian glanced up at him and said coldly, “What?”

Allan looked away awkwardly.

It’s nothing, Stella replied coolly, “Just figured it’s about time that the man who’s technically my father is getting ready to go after the woman who’s technically my mother.”

Bernard was speechless.

Landen just lost for words.

Charles opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Allan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Morgan was silent.

Everyone fell into silence.

Chapter 335

After a while, Bernard hesitated before asking, “What do you mean?”

Maybe he was just overthinking it that kids these days had some pretty bold ways of talking.

Stella paused, turned to look at him, and said calmly, “He is going to kill her.”

Bernard was speechless.

Landen just lost for words.

Charles opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Allan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Morgan was silent.

Everyone fell into silence.

It was like a cold draft seemed to chill everyone’s backs.

‘How does she keep saying bold things like this?’ everyone thought.

Brantley’s about to make a move on Camilla? Sebastian asked, his eyes darkening for a moment as something occurred to him.

Stella just nodded.

The fall of Conrad and the Gray family left Brantley totally broke, and his big plans to cash in went up in

smoke.

Even the Morris family, his in-laws, got dragged down with him. Last night, the Morris family made a scene about divorcing Vera and even sent some guys to rough Brantley up.

Almost there. Just need one last push, Stella said, lifting her eyes to meet Sebastian’s. The answer to their silent riddle was already clear to both of them.

Sebastian suddenly smirked. “I’ve got something here that might come in handy for you.”

Meanwhile, Allan slouched over toward Morgan with a playful smirk, pointing at Stella and Sebastian. “They are partners in crime!”

Morgan didn’t say anything.

Second thing, Bernard said, acting as if he hadn’t heard any of the previous chatter, turning to Sebastian. “Sebastian.”

Picking up on the elder’s intention, Sebastian kept quiet.

The atmosphere grew serious in an instant.

Bernard sighed, “Hudson’s been nagging me nonstop about when you’ll come back.”

No… Sebastian said.

But Bernard cut him off with a raised hand. “I’m not like Hudson; I won’t push you. But…”

He looked at Stella. “She will be heading to Jaffina soon to pick her team.”

Sebastian was silent.

Bernard glanced at him and continued, “Special units have their own rules. No family allowed on the training grounds.”

Sebastian suddenly understood.

When Lucas heard this, his eyes went wide in an instant. He hugged Stella, pouting and shaking his head furiously.

He thought, ‘We can’t be torn apart!’

But… Bernard said slowly, “If you switch up your role, it’s a whole different. Not only can you bring your family, but you can also bring the whole squad.”

Sebastian was silent.

Stella sighed helplessly.

Allan couldn’t help but admire. He thought, ‘That’s clever! So this is where you set the trap.

Landen asked, “What identity?”

Lucas’s eyes sparkled, wide with curiosity.

He was so adorable.

Bernard handed a manila envelope to a guard, who quickly walked over to Sebastian and respectfully placed it on the table beside him. The movement was a bit clumsy, and a corner of the ID and shoulder patch inside peeked out.

Same as before, Bernard said with a smile.

Sebastian was silent.

Landen stretched his neck out like an old turtle, but all he could see was just a tiny corner of the ID.

‘What kind of identity is it, anyway?!’ Landen wondered, frustrated.

Bernard watched Sebastian with calm patience, not hurrying him at all. Meanwhile, Lucas slid off his chair, scampered over, grabbed the manila envelope with his hands, and tossed it right into Sebastian’s arms.

Lucas let out a low hum.

Well, isn’t that a coincidence? Bernard said, all smiles now-a far cry from the stern elder he’d been earlier.

“The final test for every elite soldier in the Blaze International Special Forces Competition is surviving Red Shadow’s Hell Week.”

Sebastian was silent.

He didn’t see this coming.

Gazing at the manila envelope in his grasp, Sebastian drew out the timeworn identification card and cracked it open. Immediately, the fragrance of dried herbs curled into the air.

He stayed silent, turning to look at Stella as she leaned in. She took a sip from her coffee, then disdainfully pursed her lips. Her gaze landed on the ID photo; from his angle, her long lashes quivered as she blinked.

You look handsome, Stella remarked.

In the photo, Sebastian had a crew cut, his chiseled features cold and detached, and he still looked intimidating.

Seriously, he was handsome.

Allan grinned, “Come on, anything else?”

Stella kept her cool, “Looks like you’ve got some seriously ripped abs…” Before she could finish, Sebastian’s strong hand covered her mouth.

Stella blinked.
