Sebastian smiled faintly at her retreating back. Sebastian watched her go, a faint smile on his lips. The walls between them were finallying down..
He looked down at the bowl in his hand and smiled as he cleared the dishes.
Washing dishes wasn''t difficult for Sebastian.
Ten minutester, all the dishes were washed, and the countertop was wiped clean.
He nced around the kitchen, pleased with the result.
He didn''t like strangers in his house; even his friends rarely entered his personal space. But a home with Natalie in it made him happy.
Sebastian dried his hands and was about to head upstairs to find Natalie.
Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, his phone rang.
His deep-set eyes nced at the caller ID-it was his deadbeat father.
A sarcastic smile touched his lips. It seemed his father couldn''t wait any longer either.
He''d been holding back for a while, but now, he couldn''t contain himself.
In his eyes, the illegitimate son was always more important.
"Hello," he said, his voice cold and devoid of any emotion.
"Sebastian, Joanna is the woman you love most. She''s in the hospital. Why aren''t you there with her?"
Timothy asked sharply.
Sebastian''s tone was even. "If you''re so concerned, you can go take care of her yourself. Even if she saved me back then, I''ve done more than enough to make up for what she did for me back then. I''m not interested in her anymore."
"Sebastian, what''s that supposed to mean? How can you be so ungrateful? Joanna saved your life! How could you say something so outrageous? Get your ass to the hospital and take care of Joanna," Timothy''s voice grew louder,ced with amand.
Sebastian held the phone slightly away from his ear. He waited for his father to finish before bringing it back.
His tone was calm and unhurried. "Joanna just got an abortion. It was Robert''s kid, by the way. You should probably talk to Robert. After all, those two are in love."
"What...?"
A dark, satisfied smirk yed on Sebastian''s lips as he cut the call.
He couldn''t just let them walk all over him and y him for a fool forever. It was time for them to turn on each other.
Joanna had been too hasty. She couldn''t control her impulses, and her scheme against him had failed.
Joanna''spanionship was never genuine. Killing him was her true goal.
He had his own reasons for indulging her.
Now that he knew that person truly existed, he wouldn''t waste any more time on a woman like her.
Sebastian looked up. The woman upstairs was the one he should cherish.
Sebastian sent a message to one of his covert bodyguards telling him to keep an eye on Joanna, before heading upstairs with an elegant stride.
After going upstairs, Natalie took a shower. Once she was out, she quickly dried her
hair andy down on the bed to sleep.
Having not slept all night, her steps felt unsteady as she walked.
Lying in bed, she hugged a pillow and was asleep almost instantly.
When Sebastian came out of the other bathroom, he quietly pushed open her door.
het
Hearing her steady breathing, he smiled slipped under the covers and wrapped his arms around her before closing his eyes to sleep.
He wasn''t afraid of being discovered; they were legally married, after all.

At the hospital, Joanna was also scheming about how to use Sebastian.
She was so lost in thought that she didn''t notice Timothy storming into the room.
"Joanna."
Timothy''s gaze was icy as he looked at her.
Joanna flinched. Seeing his cold stare, she frowned slightly. What was wrong with him now?
Why was he acting crazy sote at night?
"Mr. Griffith, what are you doing here?" Joanna''s voice was hoarse. She didn''t want
to see anyone right now.
Timothy walked over.
Without a word, Timothy stepped
forward and backhanded Joanna et across the face the a
sound
p echoing through the room.
A murderous glint shed in her eyes. "Mr. Griffith, why did you hit me? I haven''t contacted you recently."
