“Sebastian? Are you awake? I need to talk to you.”
Actually, Sasha was reluctant to step foot on the third floor again because every time she did, they would end up arguing.
There was not even once that they could talk peacefully.
Thinking that their upcoming conversation was a serious and unpleasant one, she backed away a little from his bedroom door to maintain a safe distance.
About a minute later, she heard some noises from inside the room. Then, there was the sound of footsteps approaching the door.
“What is it?”
Sebastian appeared behind the opened door in his dark shirt. His collar was unbuttoned, revealing his collarbone. Underneath the leather belt and shiny gunmetal buckle was a pair of long legs. The man had a dignified grace in his appearance.
Inexplicably, Sasha felt a bit self-conscious in front of him.
“It’s nothing, actually. It’s just that I heard you’ve transferred Matteo to Ian’s preschool. I… I was just wondering if you could let Vivi join them.”
“Why should I? She’s not my child anyway,” was his curt reply.
Sasha felt a feeling of guilt washed over her. “E-Even though she’s not your child, she’s still Matt and Ian’s sister. Can’t you let her join them for the boys’ sake?”
“No!” Sebastian wouldn’t budge.
With that, the man turned to close the door.
Seeing that, Sasha stepped forward and pushed against the door, preventing him from closing it. “Hey, don’t be so harsh! Let’s talk this through.” At this moment, she had forgotten that she was determined to stay away from him earlier.
“Go away!”
“I know I’m rude toward you sometimes, so please forgive me if I ever offended you. I promise I’ll do whatever you want – just say it.”
Disregarding his reluctance, Sasha slid into his room. She went all out by making such a huge promise.
Sebastian was about to throw her out, but he halted upon hearing her words. She’ll do whatever I want?
“Anything?” he asked.
In all seriousness, Sasha was really putting in her effort to treating this man.
After all, she was counting on her massage skills to get Vivian into Empire Preschool.
Since the man was six feet tall, she needed to lean forward to massage him. Still focusing on the task at hand, she was unaware that their current position was a bit too intimate.
Sebastian’s eyes darkened at their close proximity.
In fact, they were so close to each other that he could clearly see his reflection through her crystal clear eyes.
He could sense the faint scent of her lime shower gel. Her breath was tickling him as she spoke, and he couldn’t seem to move his eyes away from her tempting lips. The thought of feeling the tenderness of her lips soon surfaced in his mind.
“Argh!” Just then, Sasha cried out in pain when she accidentally stretched the tissue surrounding her wound due to overexertion of force.
The next moment, she toppled over.
Without a second thought, Sebastian grabbed her waist, pulling her into his arms. In an attempt to regain her balance, Sasha instinctively grabbed his shirt, popping a few buttons off it. At the same time, her lips brushed against his chest accidentally…
