This is my house. These four words struck like a clap of thunder, leaving everyone present with varying expressions of shock.
Serena: Isn't this Riley's place? How did it become Sebastian's house?
Winona: Is Sebastian going to confess everything right now?
Pierce: Does Sebastian actually dare to come clean?
Riley was so frightened her heart nearly stopped. She stared intently at Sebastian: What is he trying to do?
Stunned, Serena replied to Sebastian's question, "The New Year is coming, so my brother and I bought some new clothes and food for Alora. We just came to see her."
Sebastian withdrew his gaze and turned to Riley. Seeing her face pale with fright, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She's already scared by just this. Why is she so timid? We have to go public eventually—what will she do then?
"Isn't it time to pay the rent?"
Riley instantly understood what Sebastian meant and nodded hastily. "I'll transfer it to you later."
Confused, Serena asked, "Rent?"
Riley replied, "This apartment belongs to Sebastian."
"Oh, so that's it." Serena patted her chest. "You scared me. I thought you and Sebastian..." She stopped herself just in time, looking around with an awkward laugh. "I was just talking nonsense."
Winona thought to herself: You weren't talking nonsense; you were stating the absolute truth.
Pierce sneered internally: What a load of crap!
The group went inside.
Pierce sat on the sofa with the baby, deliberately letting Alora grab his finger with her tender white hand, then gently wiggled it. "You're holding on so tight, sweetheart. Are you reluctant to let Daddy go?"

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
