Chapter 143
Valeria didn’t even know how to use her tongue in a kiss, and she had just brushed her lips against Sebastian’s. When they kissed, her lips had trembled slightly.
There was also the possibility that Shane was just a useless piece of shit who couldn’t even satisfy his wife’s needs. No wonder people always claimed that a long–distance marriage was doomed to fail.
Even if nothing had happened between Sebastian and Valeria, with her beautiful face and gentle nature, it was only a matter of time until Caleb and Rory ended up setting their eyes on her.
Sebastian wanted to ask Valeria to divorce Shane and be with him, but he didn’t say it. Those words were caught in his throat, and he just couldn’t say them out loud.
He would not make any promises before getting rid of the obstacles they’d face. He refused to give Valeria empty promises.
If his parents knew he wanted to marry a woman with a child, Martha would probably end up getting a heart attack.
Due to Martha’s old age and the fact that she had undergone a heart surgery, Sebastian couldn’t bring himself to mention the matter to her.
Sebastian truly liked Selena, but his reality was that his family wasn’t just an ordinary family. He could not convince them to accept a child who wasn’t related to them by blood. Besides, he would also be stepping in between someone’s marriage.
Unless, Valeria got pregnant with his cold. That way, he’d be able to shut Martha and Nicholas‘
mouths before they could even utter a word.
At that moment, Sebastian’s phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, he didn’t answer, as though he knew what the caller wanted. Instead,
he lowered his head and kissed Valeria on the forehead.
He said, “It’s raining heavily outside, so you and Selena can just rest here. I need to go out for a bit since Dr. Gordon is looking for me. I’ll be back soon.”
Valeria nodded.
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the scratch marks around Sebastian’s chest, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She never thought she could leave marks like that since she had short fingernails.
Laughing, Sebastian said, “Why are you acting shy now? My back is littered with your

scratches. Would you like to take a look at your handiwork?”
Ignoring him, Valeria headed toward the door.
When she turned around, she noticed Sebastian was planning to wear back the black shirt that had been laid on the sink. Her eyes widened as she stammered, “You…”
Valeria blushed so hard that even her neck had turned red. “No, you can’t wear that. The shirt’s already dirty.”
“What am I supposed to wear then? It’s not like I can just go out shirtless,” Sebastian retorted, his voice slightly husky as he pursed his lips.
The bathroom light cast a shadow across his face, and his dark eyes were unreadable.
Looking at her flushed face, Sebastian smirked and quickly put on the shirt before putting on another black sweater over it.
Then, he picked up his white coat that had been hanging on the rack and said, “Not to mention, who else would know that my shirt is wet except me?”
Valeria bit her lip before coming to the conclusion that he truly did not have another shirt lying around. So, she asked, “Can’t you just forgo the shirt and wear your sweater instead?”
“That won’t do. The sweater’s quite prickly,” Sebastian answered as he walked toward her. Seeing how well dressed he was, Valeria’s face turned redder.
She did not believe for a second that an expensive sweater like the one he was wearing could be prickly.
“Are you a chameleon or something? How can your face be so red?” Sebastian asked as he placed his hand on her forehead.
Valeria’s innocence had surprised him. He didn’t even mind the wet shirt, yet she had become so shy because of it.
Staring at Valeria’s face, his expression turned solemn as he asked, “Is Shane really impotent? Did he make you stay celibate throughout your marriage?”
Sebastian could sense that Valeria’s sex life was cleaner than a piece of paper. Did Shane and Valeria not have any fun in the bedroom?
Ignoring him, Valeria opened the door. If she didn’t get out and take a breather, she’d probably end up exploding.
To her surprise, Selena was standing at the door. “Mommy, your face is so red. Wait. Mr. Grant, why were you in the bathroom with my mommy?“
