Sebastian Brenand was still waiting for the team-matching in the game while avoiding Yvette Houston's eyes.
She remained polite and smiled, seemingly unaffected by his indifference. “My parents invited us to go home for dinner tonight.”
“Go by yourself,” he said with a deep frown.
“Your mother said you must go too,” she insisted.
“I’m not going.”
Sebastian felt disgusted just by looking at her.
“Your mother said there are consequences if you don’t go,” she said vaguely.
“Fine!”
Yvette knew exactly what Sebastian’s mother had done to Rachel Wood. She'd told her to use such threats whenever her son refused to listen to her, and he was bound to obey.
It was the first time she had tried this out, but she didn’t expect it to be this effective.
Sebastian might be cold to her now, but she believed they’d eventually develop feelings for each other.
It would be fine even if that didn’t happen.
They could each find their own happiness outside and not affect one another, as long as Sebastian was willing to cooperate and put on a show for outsiders. That was enough.
Yvette never hoped for a romantic relationship with him.
“Your mother also wants us to have a child as soon as possible. If I don’t get pregnant within half a year, you’ll have to bear the consequences,” she added.
Her status wasn’t completely secure despite being married to Sebastian, not unless she had a child.
So, she needed to get pregnant.
“Yvette…” he began.
“Hmm?”
“You’re a sl*t. What’s the point of sleeping with a man you don’t love?” he accused.
