Chapter 108
Sebastian didn’t raise his hand, so Valeria thought he didn’t want any.
Just as she was about to put it down, Sebastian suddenly leaned over and bit into the orange. slice using only his mouth.
His lips brushed against Valeria’s fingers. They were warm and cool at the same time, as well as soft and damp.
Valeria was startled. She widened her eyes as she quickly pulled her hand back.
Then, she stared at Sebastian in shock, but Sebastian looked calm as he closed his eyes
slightly. He looked as if he’d found the orange quite tasty, so he reached into the fruit plate to take another one for himself after finishing the first piece.
It almost felt like Valeria had imagined that move from earlier.
But her fingers had clearly felt those damp, soft lips. The tingling sensation on her fingers told Valeria that she hadn’t imagined it.
Selena hadn’t seen it. She was just sitting on a small stool, and Valeria’s back happened to block her view of Sebastian.
So instead, she just looked at the backpack on the table and said, “Uncle Caleb, thank you for the backpack.”
Caleb was a little stunned because he had seen what had just happened. But he saw it from a different angle.
All he saw was Valeria handing Sebastian a piece of orange, and Sebastian just taking it with his mouth and eating it. From behind, it didn’t look all that intimate, just a little odd.
These two seemed pretty close.
He recognized the watch on Sebastian’s wrist. It was a Rolex.
Valeria came from an ordinary background, so how did she know someone this wealthy?
Naturally, Caleb liked Valeria quite a lot. Even though Valeria had a daughter, she was kind and beautiful. In any dating scene, good looks and a great figure were always in high demand.
“I’m glad you like it, Lenny.” Caleb touched his nose. “I brought some cake as well. Would you like some?”
On top of that, his mother really liked Valeria as well. She played cards with Lucy and knew a lot about Valeria.
Chapter 108
Caleb was also of marrying age, but he did have some reservations at times. After all, Valeria had been married once and even had a child.
Caleb was a traditional man, so he couldn’t really accept the idea of his future wife being married to another man before. But Valeria was just too beautiful.
If a woman was willing to have a child with another man, then surely she would have another one after marrying him as well. He was someone who definitely wanted children.
His mother had told him that there was no way he would even have been able to interact with
or pursue someone as beautiful as Valeria if she hadn’t been divorced.
That was why Caleb prepared himself mentally and started to pursue Valeria.
“Thank you, Uncle Caleb.” In truth, Selena was too full to eat any more.
But she thought to herself that Caleb had come all the way for her birthday, even buying her cake and a backpack. She was worried he would be unhappy if he didn’t eat the cake.
So, she took two bites of it.
It was getting late, and Valeria had booked tickets for eight in the morning the next day, so she had Selena go to bed early.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Caleb went to open it and saw that it was the delivery guy bringing parts for the pipe repair.
Caleb took the parts and went into the bathroom, leaving Valeria alone with Sebastian in the
living room.
Valeria clenched her hands tightly and looked at Sebastian. “It’s getting late. Thank you for celebrating Lenny’s birthday tonight.”
It was a polite way of asking Sebastian to leave, and she knew that Sebastian would definitely get the hint.
And yet, Sebastian showed no intention of leaving.
He had taken off his coat, revealing a pale blue shirt and a silver–gray striped tie. Even though he was dressed with such elegance and dignity, his expression was still cold.
He loosened his tie and casually draped one arm over the armrest of the couch. “Does your husband know that you’re letting some strange man wear his slippers and come and go freely in your home?”
Sebastian lowered his gaze and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
The platinum timepiece gleamed slightly as he raised his hand, and there was a glint on the

dial that seemed as cold as the look in his eyes. “It’s already a quarter past nine. Do you have any sense of safety at all?”
