Chapter 596 Sooner or Later, They Will Know
Sebastian still eyeballed Stephen, looking all confused, then got up and reached out to feel his forehead. "Dad, you been stressed out or something these past couple days?"
Why's he acting so weird?
Seeing Sebastian's annoyed look, Stephen reached out and smacked his forehead. "What kinda nonsense you spouting? I'm your dad, show some respect!"
"Then why you acting like a whole different person?" No matter how he looked at it, Sebastian felt something was off with Stephen.
Stephen had been dealing with Sebastian for so long that his patience was running thin. "Can you stop nagging? Just go make the appointment. But if you don't want Reese back, then keep quiet."
Stephen's words hit Sebastian right in the feels. He'd been dreaming of having Reese back in the Hawthorne family so he could see her all the time.
It'd also smooth out the awkward vibes between the two families.
After thinking it over, he finally caved. "Alright, I'll give it a shot. But don't get your hopes up. You know Reese, she might totally blow off your invite."
But he really liked Reese. If something or someone didn't sit right with her, she wouldn't budge no matter who asked.
Stephen knew it was bound to happen. Reese's personality was a lot like her mom's—stubborn as a mule.
If her mom hadn't been like that, she might still be around today. Sometimes, being too headstrong ain't good. Reese could keep her attitude 'cause she could back it up.
If it were someone else, they'd probably be crushed by now.
Stephen had said his piece. Now it was up to Sebastian to see if he could get Reese to agree.
Sebastian quickly used this excuse to visit the Flynn family.
As soon as he walked in, a servant stopped him. "Who are you?"
"I'm here to see Reese." Sebastian straight-up told the servant why he was there.
The servant, not knowing Reese was his sister, looked a bit puzzled.
Just then, Alyssa walked up behind Sebastian. "He's here to see me. Let him in."
Seeing Alyssa, the servant quickly greeted her politely. "Ms. Flynn."
"Has Reese come back?" She'd gotten a call saying Reese had been discharged with Malcolm, so she rushed back.
The servant replied politely, "Mrs. Flynn and Mr. Flynn just got back, not too long ago."
Alyssa turned to Sebastian and said, "Let's go."
Sebastian then followed Alyssa inside. "Thanks for that."
Alyssa half-joked, "You're not here to talk our marriage, are you?"
Sebastian grinned wryly, "If so, I'd have brought some gifts."
"Reese just got back, she's probably upstairs." Alyssa led Sebastian upstairs.
It was Sebastian's first time at the Flynn family crib. He knew they were living large, but it was even swankier than the Hawthorne place.
Reese must have picked the right spot.
Sebastian casually asked, "Been gaming lately?"
Alyssa was caught off guard and instinctively replied, "Nah."
"I see you online every day." Sebastian called her out without mercy.
Alyssa's face turned red. She suddenly stopped and spun around, causing Sebastian, who was walking straight ahead, to bump into her.
Alyssa always saw Sebastian as a young, immature kid who only knew about racing. But right then, he felt different, like a man.
Sebastian's hand was still on Alyssa's waist. When she turned, they almost toppled over, and he instinctively held her waist.
The unique softness of a girl and her natural scent, unlike the overwhelming perfume of other women, was refreshing.
They locked eyes, both a bit dazed until the servant's voice broke the moment. "Ms. Flynn, sorry, I forgot to tell you, Mrs. Flynn and Mr. Flynn seem to have gone out again. I got too busy."
The servant's words snapped Alyssa and Sebastian back to reality, and Sebastian quickly let go of her.
Alyssa's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes a bit shy. The servant had never seen her like this before. Usually, Alyssa was carefree in front of others.
For so many years, she had never seen Alyssa have any contact with any man. The fact that they had just hugged was shocking.
Alyssa, not knowing if she was embarrassed or guilty, brushed her bangs. "It's... it's fine. We'll just wait. Clora, go cut some fruit for our guest."
Clora glanced at Sebastian again, thinking he looked quite handsome, with some resemblance to Reese.
She suddenly remembered that Sebastian had said he was here to see Reese. 'Could it be that he and Reese are...'
Clora was surprised to hear that Reese had a brother.
Alyssa, seeing Clora staring at Sebastian, could guess what she was thinking.
She said to Clora, "Clora, go ahead. Don't keep the guest waiting."
Clora snapped out of her thoughts, "Okay, I'll go right away. Ms. Flynn, you treat the guest."
"Alright."
After Clora went to the kitchen, Alyssa composed herself and turned to Sebastian. "How about we go to my room?"
Staying in the living room might be a bit noisy, and the servants might treat them like animals in the zoo.
Sebastian nodded, "Sure, I also want to see my wife's..."
Before he could finish, Alyssa suddenly covered his mouth.
She warned, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out right now!"
Sebastian pried her hand away, his eyes teasing. "What's wrong with what I said? Your family will find out sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Besides, you personally told me in the studio that you agreed to marry me."
