Sebastian looked at the broken pieces on the ground and felt a bit of a headache.


    He chided himself internally. He was already 28, yet he felt like a newbie in this area.


    It was one thing for her to be nervous, but he was nervous as well.


    Clearly, he was just too inexperienced.


    Yearster, Stephanie would tell their kids, "When your dad and I were dating, even though he was nine years older than me, he was more immature. He even got so nervous over a kiss that he broke a te." Sebastian grumpily retorted, "That was just a slip of my hand."


    But the kids justughed at their mother''s teasing, not even giving him a chance to exin.


    But that''s all water under the bridge.


    Since the party was in the evening, they spent the afternoon lounging on the sofa after lunch, watching TV.


    Stephanie even put a nket on the couch to cover their legs. Leaning against the cushion, it was bothfortable and warm.


    This was Sebastian''s first time chilling at home, and initially, it felt a bit odd.


    But eventually, he got used to her pace,zily leaning on the couch together, watching those soppy romance dramas that women love. Gradually, Stephanie''s head rested on his shoulder.


    It was so natural.


    The plot was so mundane, yet Sebastian was utterly captivated.


    Meanwhile, Stephanie, probably due to ack of sleep the night before, had dozed off on his shoulder.

    Putnam was thest one to arrive.


    Hearing that Stephanie was cooking, he was thrilled and came in high spirits.


    He had no clue that Sebastian invited him with a prank in mind.


    Later, he got wasted and had no idea he was being yed.


    The next morning, as soon as Putnam opened his eyes, he saw a pair of love-struck eyes staring at him.


    His mind was a whirlwind, and he sat upright, thinking he was dreaming.


    But even after he closed and reopened his eyes, the scene remained the same.


    "Putnam, you''re awake," Maddie said, lying on the bed with a shy look, her eyes filled with affection.
