Speed Candles novel Chapter 23

Emily lifted her eyebrows a bit and looked at him, “Could it be possible that Oskar Miller is the reason for you not marrying any lady?”

As Emily hinted him to be gay, Sebastian was choked and extremely discomforted by the anger stuffed in his chest. He seemed to be rushed by anger to bit down at her lips.

Emily frowned in pain and reached out to slap Sebastian’s chest fiercely, "You are nuts... let go..."

Sebastian buckled her hands on top of her head and pressed his muscular body against hers towards the wall, holding her prisoner.

“Mr. Clark, don't touch me again if you refuse to marry me!”

Emily truly wanted to marry into the Clark family by any means, not out of love, though. That’s why she racked her brains to cheat and abduct at his company to make a scene and then took the initiative to meet Norah.

Even after meeting Norah, Emily still hasn't given up regardless. What Sebastian had just done to her should just fit in precisely with Emily’s wishes, but somehow, she felt sick and uncomfortable about his reaction and wanted to avoid it.

If there was another way out, she would never be willing to linger with someone she didn't love. Emily could only temporarily use this perfunctory excuse to prevaricate her sudden emotion.

On the other hand, Sebastian used to say that he was disgusted by her social-climbing behaviour, but it would have been a different feeling if she had refused him for the sake of her dignity. He coudln’t tell what it is. It just felt wrong.

He snorted and didn't say anything.

They stared at each other in a stalemate for a minute. Emily stretched to push him away and went around to the door to pick up the keys.

As she opened the door, she said, “Mr. Clark, my home is too shabby to invite you in. Besides, there is nothing worth seeing inside. Don’t be light-hearted, though. I might end up tangle with you again one day.”

Then the door was shut in a “bang” sound with no mercy to him.

Sebastian remained his posture against the wall. He gritted his teeth, and the light of plotting in his eyes grew brighter until it was slowly digested by his wits.

When did Emily not leave in a mess? It turns out that the mighty dragon is no match for the cunning serpent! At her territory, she just bullied a tiger as a kitten?

The private room in Y Club.

“Sebastian, come over to have some fun, don't just drink!"

Max King, Ethan Cooper and Sebastian Clark met in high school. It is rare for a rich kid to meet a good friend who had gone through all odds, especially, Max has been labelled as an illegitimate son since he was born. He was bullied him a lot in his high school and college time. Only these two had the most profound friendship with him.

"I finally came over from N City, and I have invited the most popular lady in this club for you. She is absolutely clean and charming, and she can also adapt her style according to the tastes of the guests.” Max, the Casanova in N city who always misbehave, said to Sebastian.

The light in the private room flickered and dimmed, faintly shining on Sebastian’s well-crafted handsome face. His slender fingers were holding a delicate wine glass. Suddenly, he lost interest in drinking. He studied the teetering drink in his glass.

Max stretched out his hand to probe Sehastian’s forehead and then probed his own forehead: “Are you all right?! Did you see a ghost or what?”
