Rachel Wood looked perfect to Sebastian Brenand.
She was the most beautiful woman to him.
She gazed at Sebastian helplessly, feeling embarrassed by his compliments. “Can you stop? Do you want me to die of embarrassment? I’m hardly the most beautiful person.”
“In my eyes, you’re more beautiful than anyone else,” he told her.
“Must you exaggerate?” she sighed in exasperation.
“I’m only speaking the truth.”
Rachel didn’t bother replying and continued to enjoy the delicious food.
With good food and the person she loved by her side, she was already the luckiest girl in the world.
Once she had eaten enough, she stood up slowly and looked at her husband. “Why don’t you let me do the dishes? I’ve been doing nothing at home every day. I’m so bored.”
Sebastian immediately walked over and picked her up into his arms. “No way!”
“What are you doing? Put me down, Sebastian. I can walk on my own,” she protested.
“Nope, I want to take you upstairs to rest,” he said.
“You really don’t have to do this,” she muttered, but he ignored her and carried her out of the dining room.
The two were so intimate that there was nothing but love in the air.
After returning to their bedroom, Sebastian carefully lowered her on the bed and pulled the duvet over her.
“You should lie down and rest for a while after dinner. I’ll go downstairs to do the dishes,” he said.
Rachel glanced at it before quickly answering the call. “Hello? Who is this?”
“Is this Rachel?” It was Sebastian’s mother’s voice.
No matter how much time had passed, she could still instantly recognize this voice.
It was the voice of the woman who once dragged her into hell.
Soon, various disgusting memories that she had almost forgotten began replaying in her mind.
Her mood instantly hit rock bottom.
“What do you want?” she said with a frown.
