Chapter 145 Sebastian Intrudes the Bathroom
Sebastian could discern the sarcasm in her tone.
Brooklyn speculated that it was not surprising for Megan and Sebastian to have slept together last night, but she, apart from mocking him like an outsider, showed no sign of feeling wronged as the person involved.
'She truly didn't care anymore. Even if I had been with Megan last night, it wouldn't break her heart,' Sebastian thought, thoroughly enraged.
He gripped the water glass tightly and sneered. "You are the young madam of the Kingsley family. You must act in a manner befitting your status. Don't make yourself look uncouth."
Brooklyn looked up at Sebastian under the light. He was so handsome that she could not take her eyes off him.
Her heart fluttered, but her face showed no emotion. He even called her uncouth.
How much did Sebastian despise her?
"Isn't it a bit unfair, Sebastian? Women must be well-mannered, but men don't have to."
Her tone remained sarcastic with a weariness that was hard to bear.
Sebastian's lips curled into a cold smile. "Are you jealous?"
Brooklyn responded with a shrug. "I don't know what jealousy is. If you want to check my whereabouts, you can go to the hospital and find out. The accusation of being uncouth is quite unpleasant. You should be cautious with that."
'Brooklyn had been at the hospital all night. Then, why didn't she answer the phone?' Sebastian thought.
Sebastian wanted to ask more, but Brooklyn, already exhausted, shuffled to the end of the hallway in her slippers.
Regardless of the reason, the knowledge that she was at work and not elsewhere gave Sebastian a sense of relief, though that also displeased him.
Why did he care more about this ungrateful woman now?
Sebastian gulped down the coffee in his cup as if he were drinking alcohol. After taking a deep breath, he turned to take a shower.
As Brooklyn lay down in the tub, steam rose. Her furrowed brows gradually relaxed. She closed her eyes to enjoy the jacuzzi.
Brooklyn mocked herself as she enjoyed the massage, realizing that in moments of extreme exhaustion and helplessness, the only comfort she could find was in a bathtub.
Sebastian went upstairs, about to enter the master bedroom's en suite bathroom for a shower when he remembered Megan was sleeping. He frowned and released the doorknob. He then decided to fetch a new towel from the dressing room and shower downstairs instead.
Sebastian was feeling increasingly conflicted. His feelings for Megan were changing. The closer she got, the more he wanted to push her away.
However, as Brooklyn grew more distant, the more he wanted to forcefully pull her into his arms.
Damn it! He did not like this feeling.
The bathroom on the first floor was closed, but there was no sound inside. Sebastian turned the doorknob with his large hand and stepped in with his long legs wrapped in slacks.
The moment he entered, swirling steam filled the room. Sebastian frowned. Then, he saw Brooklyn soaking in the bathtub with her eyes closed.
Sebastian silently closed the bathroom door before he involuntarily moved closer to her. In the spacious bathroom, there was a translucent glass wall behind her revealed the lush flowers outside. The oversized white curved bathtub could easily fit three or four people, making Brooklyn look even more alluring.
Brooklyn was lost in her thoughts on the past three years. Her situation, the criticisms from those around her, and the state of Mitchell Villa left her mind in turmoil.
Brooklyn did not notice anyone entering.
Sebastian looked down at Brooklyn's face, flushed red by the heat of the steam, while her hair dripped with water. He always found it easy to get impulsive around her. At that moment, it was hard for him to ignore the urge coming from his lower body, causing a deep furrow between his brows.
The sound of a belt buckle snapping open startled Brooklyn from her rest. Brooklyn suddenly opened her eyes wide. Before she could lift her head, she found herself looking at a pair of long legs wrapped in black slacks.
Her eyes widened in shock as she looked up to see Sebastian's handsome face through the steam as he unbuckled his belt.
"What are you doing here?"
She meant to question him, but the discovery was so sudden that her voice trembled with nervousness, sounding almost excited.
Damn! She was not excited at all. Would he misunderstand her?
Sebastian continued unbuckling his belt, quickly removing his pants to reveal his long legs. He stepped forward barefoot as he slowly started to unbutton his shirt.
Brooklyn was now fully awake with fright.
"Sebastian, what are you doing? Can't you see I'm bathing? Get out."
