Chapter 278 My words are final
She already knew the answer anyway, so why waste more words?
Unwillingly, Sebastian awkwardly furrowed his eyebrows and said, "There are some things I won't repeat once I've said them, and my words are final."
Isabella's heart fluttered slightly. Was he still insisting he liked her?
She replied, "Is that so? I understand."
"That's all?" Sebastian snorted.
She couldn't find any words to say, but only one; she was tired.
She really wanted to ask if he could hide flaws better when he lied, like the lipstick mark.
That way, she might've believed him.
She let him hug her without moving much, resting quietly.
Inside the car, everything gradually became calm and stable.
Back at Willowbrook Estate, Isabella took the initiative and wrapped her arms around Sebastian's neck, locking eyes with him.
"Can I really trust you?" she pulled his tie off and gradually opened his buttons.
Sebastian's pupils darkened as he pushed her against the bathroom door, kissing her deeply.
The kiss was passionate, leaving her dazed afterward.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was still clear-headed and restrained as he gripped her waist. "After three months, I'll come for you again. By then, my actions will show whether or not you can trust me."
He quite liked that Isabella was unsure and anxious about him.
He kissed her again, this time giving a gentler and short kiss. Their lips barely touched for a few seconds, tender and soft— showing how much he cherished her.
Isabella couldn't resist this and found herself responding to him.
"Hiss!" Suddenly, a sharp tingling sensation came.
He bit her!
Isabella quickly recoiled, her eyes wide open again.
Sebastian held her jaw and gave her a mocking look that said, "You know what's happening, so go clean yourself. If I find any other man's scent..."
He squinted meaningfully, lightly tapping her lips with his gaze on her. "…I'll have you taste mine."
Isabella immediately understood this, her cheeks burning as she almost choked. "I get it, I get it; I'll go take a shower! I really bumped into Marcus unintentionally."
She took off his shirt. "You should also just shower. You're so annoying!"
After saying that, she walked away.
Behind her, Sebastian faintly laughed, magnetic and husky. It sent shivers running down her scalp.
She lowered her head and quickly left this controversial place.
Sebastian leaned against the wall and observed her figure, not looking away for a long time.
After she left, he rubbed his temples while trying to suppress the strange feeling in his chest.
He couldn't quite figure out what it was, but it was definitely there. Isabella was acting a little strange.
However, he didn't delve deeper into it and took his phone out.
"I heard that the Coopers are currently working on a few important cases," he said to the person on a call. "I want them all, so get it done."
His cold, black eyes were as sharp as a knife, his words decisive and merciless.
After hanging up, he sneered and found it ridiculous that someone tried to compete with him for Isabella's affection.
On the other hand, Isabella went straight from the master bedroom to the guest bedroom. She sat on the bed and laid down, forcefully grabbing the shirt Sebastian had taken off.
A few seconds later, she threw it to the ground and stomped on it with both feet!
She couldn't be so reckless as to stomp on Sebastian himself, but she could stomp on his clothes, couldn't she?
He was such a jerk, a pervert, a bad man!
She stomped for a full five minutes before finally calming down a bit.
After venting, she scanned the room and found a bag to pack his shirt up.
Isabella had to constantly remind herself to stay alert and adapt to the situation. She had to play along with his game and figure out what he wanted, and she'd then use that information to exchange for custody of her child.
When she thought about her two babies, all her frustration disappeared.
She stared at her abdomen, clenching her hands and silently cheering herself on.
Over the next few days, she acted her part flawlessly.
However, her acting skills couldn't be compared to Sebastian's.
She couldn't outsmart him.
She pretended that he truly liked her and let her heart race, her face flush, and felt constant excitement when they were together.
However, she was also very aware that this was all an illusion.
So, while her heart was thrilled, it also constantly ached. The more joy she felt, the more suppressed she was.
It was an unsolvable problem.
To get what she wanted, she knew she had to pay a price.
Isabella understood this.
One week later.
One afternoon, Isabella and Sebastian had lunch together at a restaurant near the company.
After spending these few days together, she had fully immersed herself in her role as his lover.
Of course, as a lover, she had to act spoiled. So, she occasionally tested how far his tolerance for her went.
For example, she pinched him while he was sleeping.
And now, during their meal, she picked out all the side dishes for him.
Seeing his furrowed eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel delighted!
"Suit yourself." Sebastian put down his chopsticks, not eating as he called the waiter, "I'm full, so let's go back."
Isabella played her role on one hand and provoked Sebastian on the other, wanting to expose his true self.
"You haven't eaten enough." She scooped up the taro paste with a spoon and laughed like a little fox, "I don't care; you have to eat. Your baby wants to see you eat."
"Vegetables are nutritious, so just have a bite." she put down her chopsticks and stretched out a finger.
She raised her finger to her lips, slyness in her eyes while her eyeballs rolled. Sebastian saw through her little scheme, but he was willing to play along.
She wasn't as cold as she was before, and he felt happy watching her.
He picked up his chopsticks and symbolically picked up some vegetables like carrots, taking a few bites.
After finishing, he elegantly cleaned his mouth and leaned back on the chair, "Alright? My baby, are you happy now?"
Of course, when Isabella mentioned "baby," she was referring to their child. As for who his "baby" was, she always felt that he had a different meaning.
Her cheeks turned slightly red.
After putting down her chopsticks, she stood up. "I'm happy now, so I'm returning the company to get some rest."
Sebastian stood up and followed her, signing the bill. With his long legs, he caught up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
