Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 424

Kendrick Vance looked at Sebastian in surprise. "You like kids?"

"No, I despise them," Sebastian replied without missing a beat. Meeting Kendrick's bewildered gaze, he elaborated, "It's just Melody. She's adorable."

Kendrick asked, "Is this a package deal?"

Sebastian smiled at him, offering no denial.

Kendrick was speechless.

Having answered, Sebastian looked away first. There was a plate of freshly washed strawberries on the table; he casually picked one up and took a bite.

"These are good."

After giving his verdict, he looked back at Kendrick. "Do you want one?"

Kendrick gave him a long, meaningful look, then raised a hand slightly, declining the offer.

Sebastian was exactly the same as always; no matter what was asked, he answered with brutal honesty.

Whether it was business or his private, special treatment of Elara and her daughter, he faced it all with complete candor, openly showing everyone exactly how much that mother-and-daughter pair meant to him.

It felt as though nothing had changed, yet something was undeniably different.

For a moment, Kendrick couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Ever since he had handed over the reins of Vance Dynamics and the family to the young man, he had rarely interfered in Sebastian's private life.

After all, the sheer weight of running both the corporation and the family was already enough to crush a man. If Kendrick micromanaged his personal affairs on top of that, leaving the boy no room to breathe, he would eventually snap.

So, as long as Sebastian didn't do anything entirely outrageous, Kendrick turned a blind eye.

And lately, Sebastian had indeed exceeded his expectations.
