50. MRS. ANDERSON

CELINE’s POV

Mrs. Anderson…

Mrs. Celine Anderson… sounds so good, but it didn’t feel so right.

What was Sebastian rambling on about? Was he crazy for offering me to become his wife? As the shock registered on my face, the smile on Sebastian’s face became more and more satisfied.

And I didn’t know how to react to it. I didn’t know how to feel about it.

Suddenly, there was a clicking sound, signalling that the door had been opened by a key. My eyes widened as I tried to push Sebastian away from me, but he pressed his body harder on mine, making me wince in the mix of pleasure and pain.

“Are you afraid that your sister will find us in this position?” he asked with a smirk and before I could answer him, he got up from hovering on top of me before the door flew open, revealing Brylee and a nurs who was holding a key. My sister was shocked as she stared at her

fiancé.

Sebastian might’ve locked the door. But why would he do that?

I slowly sat up and waited for them to get inside but the nurse bowed her head down and scurried away when she saw Sebastian.

“Seb…” Brylee whispered, and there was a pain in her eyes as she looked at him. She sent murderous glares in my direction when she noticed that his eyes were on me.

I looked away from Brylee, sighing. Why do I feel guilty right now? Isn’t it that this was all I wanted from the very start? To take revenge on them because they killed my mother?

“Celine…” I heard Brylee call my name and I forced myself to look at her. “Are you feeling okay now?”

“Don’t worry, I won’t be dying so soon…” I said, plastering a fake smile at her fake concern. “You see, I’m still kicking and alive. You won’t put

me down no matter what you do. Tell that to your father.”

Her lips trembled as if she was about to burst out crying, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

“Dad is sorry about what he did to you…” she said, sitting beside me on the bed. “He said he loves you very much…”

Really? I scoffed. He almost killed me, and here was his favorite daughter telling me that he was sorry and that he loved me? That was new to my ear. I know they’re planning something again, and I have to be very careful and alert.

“He can’t come here to visit you because he knows that you’re still mad at him…” Brylee continued as she pulled out a piece of paper inside her bag. “And he asked me to give this to you…”

“Dad regrets what he did. He shouldn’t have been so impulsive. Don’t hold it against him…” she smiled. “Can you at least forgive him this

time?”

-Forgive? I don’t even know that word anymore. After everything they

had done to me..

I sighed as I opened the folded paper, and started reading what was

written on it.

I sneered as I crumpled the paper in my hand, causing Brylee to look at me in shock. “Celine…”

“I want to take a rest. Pease get out…” my eyes darted at Sebastian who was sitting on the couch, and he was looking at me softly. He sat there with a calm expression on his face, but his eyes were as unfathomable as the stars, so I couldn’t read what he was thinking at the moment. “Both of you, get out… I groaned as I lay on the bed and closed my eyes, turning my back on them. I swallowed the lump in my throat, controlling my tears to fall down from my eyes.

Brylee annoyed me, while Sebastian made me scared. I don what his plans are… and why did he ask me to become his wife.

I wiped my tears harshly and slowly got up, letting my feet set on th ground. I wanted to see Jenny to check if she had already woken up.

I slowly walked towards the door in a limping state but stopped abruptly when I heard voices outside. I frowned as I pressed my ear against the wooden door and listened to Brylee and Sebastian’s

conversation.

“My mother’s birthday is next week…” Sebastian announced and I frowned. “You and your family should come…”

I narrowed my eyes to hear him emphasize the word ‘family’. Did he

want me to go with them?

“Of course!” Brylee beamed. I could already see her eyes t winkling with happiness. “You see… I’ve been so busy these days that I almost forgot about your mom’s birthday. Don’t worry, I will give her a

surprise…”

Silence fell.

What are they doing?

“I’ll ask the driver to send you home..” Sebastian said after a moment

of silence.

“Why?” she asked. “Don’t you want to send me home?”

“I have some important things to do. Brylee…” I heard him groan.

“More important than me?” I smirked when I heard a hint of jealousy in her voice. I pressed my ear harder as I waited for Sebastian to

answer my sister’s question, but all I heard was footsteps walking

away.
