Chapter 32
Martha admitted, “I feel like Sebastian is still hung up on that young lady.”
Nicholas wasn’t that close-minded, either. Not to mention, having the freedom to choose who they wanted to date was now the norm, and he did not want to use his son as a tool for an alliance.
“If Sebastian truly likes her, it won’t matter if she’s not from high society. All that matters is that she comes from a decent family. Isn’t that what you’ve always wanted?”
She replied, “She’s married now, but I was wondering if she still has feelings for Sebastian…”
“Martha! What on earth has been running through your mind?” he exclaimed with a frown.
“It was just a thought. Why did you have to shout?” Martha yelled as she scratched her ear.
“Well, don’t even think about it anymore!”
The Grant family had been in high society for decades. It would be unimaginable if they had arrived at the point where they would allow their son to marry a divorcee…
Even if Nicholas had been buried six feet down in the dirt by then, he would crawl out of his grave and stop such an absurd thing from happening!
Sebastian remained unaware of the argument between his parents.
He was sitting at his table, looking through several international medical cases. Yet, he couldn’t concentrate on the task at hand.
He was trying to understand the emotional and psychological changes happening in his mind as well as the thoughts he had toward Valeria.
At the end of the day, it was all because she had reminded him of Jane.
Although Valeria’s appearance and figure were nothing like Jane’s, the way she spoke, bit her lip, and glared at someone when she was mad reminded him greatly of Jane.
There was something about Valeria that left him thinking about the similarities between the two women. However, his heart would always deny it.
Sebastian was beginning to believe that Jane had thrown his life off balance. He couldn’t even control his thoughts, and he felt terrible about his current state.
The next day, Sebastian did not return to the Grant residence for dinner. While Jessica had

brought Sabrina over, he remained working his shift in hospital.
Sabrina had asked on the phone if he would be there, but he had been swamped with work that he had forgotten about the message altogether.
As he lay on the hard bed inside the break room, he felt exhausted as he dozed off into a light sleep.
He dreamt of Jane again, about their time in high school, and how she had worn her school uniform and turned away when he had leaned in to kiss her.
A dream was still a dream at the end of the day. Although they had been in the same class during high school, they never dated back then.
They only got together when they were in university. .
However, their surroundings, classes, and uniforms had changed. The classroom was empty as he carried her up and placed her on a table. She pushed his chest hard, unwilling to proceed.
Her voice was light and soft, and she barely had a temper.
Sebastian was slightly infuriated after being rejected.
That year, they would spend every weekend together, either meeting at a hotel or she would come to his apartment. So, why was she resisting him now?
Halfway through the kiss, Sebastian suddenly froze.
Jane’s face had morphed into Valeria, and Valeria was currently looking at him with teary eyes.
He was so shocked that he woke up from his dream. As a result, his back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
How could he actually feel desire toward a stranger, a married woman with a child at that? Luckily, it was just a dream.
Sebastian remembered kissing Jane, but right when they were about to escalate things, the woman’s face had morphed into Valeria’s.
He got up to the restroom to wash his face. When he picked up his phone, he realized it was already 4:00 am.
