Riley frantically pushed Sebastian away, flushed and completely flustered.
"I... I didn't see anything!" Mrs. Gable stammered, recovering from her shock before scooping up Alora and rushing back to the living room.
Riley's face burned crimson, the heat spreading all the way to the tips of her ears. Her misty eyes shot him a playful glare. "This is all your fault. I'm mortified."
Sebastian acted as if nothing had happened. He gently grasped her hand, his deep gaze anchoring on her with unwavering affection. "What's mortifying about kissing my fiancée?"
Fiancée?
Hearing that word sent her already racing heart into a wild frenzy.
He had a point. She was now officially the Spencer Heiress, meaning the arranged marriage set up by their elders all those years ago was back on. In the eyes of their families, she was indeed his fiancée.
But did he truly accept this engagement in his heart?
Blushing furiously, Riley hurried back to the living room to hold Alora. Sebastian effortlessly grabbed their bags, and together, they headed out the door to the St. John Manor.
Franklin Finch drove the car.
Alora sat strapped securely into her car seat in the middle of the back row, with Riley and Sebastian flanking her on either side.
Sebastian offered his finger to the toddler, and Alora grasped it like a fascinating new toy, giggling brightly. "Alora can talk now. She called me Papa this morning," he said.
Riley stared at him in disbelief. First, she was stunned her daughter had started talking, and second, she was utterly amazed that Sebastian didn't seem to care even the slightest bit that the child belonged to Pierce Landon.
In fact, he looked proud, as if Alora were his own flesh and blood.
Her lips parted. She wanted to ask him if he truly didn't mind Alora's lineage.

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