Chapter 68
Valeria’s fair skin stood out against her dark hair. Sebastian could feel his breathing grow heavier as he gritted his teeth. The scene was imprinted in his head.
Sebastian turned around to leave. Grabbing the door handle, he inhaled deeply. There was an itch at his throat as his chest burned unbearably. He said hoarsely, “My apologies.”
He was about to walk out when he heard the sound of footsteps. It was a man and his son.
“Dad, I can’t hold it in anymore. I need the bathroom.”
Their voices sounded like they were extremely close, as though they were mere steps away from the door. Sebastian stepped forward and closed the door, locking it.
When they tried to open the door, the handle wouldn’t give. Sebastian said calmly, ” Someone’s inside.”
Valeria bit her lip to mask her nervousness. Her hands were still crossed over her chest. She hadn’t expected something like this to happen.
Watching Sebastian closely, she realized they were only around five feet away from each other.
Sebastian’s broad shoulders were clothed in a simple black shirt. His short hair was all mussed
When their eyes met, Valeria scrambled to hold her clothes against her chest. With her other hand, she held onto the sink.
Weak from nervousness, her voice shook as she said, “You… Why are you still looking…”
Sebastian’s gaze felt like it was about to burn a hole through her with its intensity. He didn’t look away once.
His eyes roamed her face before falling onto her bosom, watching as her chest heaved and
trembled as she breathed.
Sebastian’s throat felt like it was on fire. Clenching his fists, he turned around slowly.
Valeria quickly cleaned herself up. Ignoring her wet bra, she slipped on Mallory’s shirt.
However, the shirt wasn’t her size. While it fit her waist perfectly, it was a little tight at the
chest area.
Valeria watched herself in the mirror. Once again, she covered her chest shyly and yanked at her top. Mallory’s shirt was a beige knitted top. If it was the correct size, it would be a simple, beautiful top that accentuated one’s figure.
Yet, on Valeria, with her sizable chest, the top was stretched till it was nearly see through. One could make out her bra inside.
Valeria was flushed as she snuck a glance at Sebastian. She couldn’t stay here any longer.
Valeria wanted out.
Outside, they could hear the sounds of children running around. Many of their parents were present as well.
Valeria was embarrassed due to her overly tight top. She was afraid others would eye her with
disdain.
Sebastian’s eyes flitted downward to scan her chest before looking back up. “Are you planning to head out like that?”
Valeria was silent. She covered her chest, lowering her head.
Sebastian opened the door and took two steps out. Then, he turned around and ordered, ”
Follow me.”
Valeria did as she was told.
By the time she realized what was happening, Valeria had been taken into Sebastian’s study.
The first thing she saw was an abstract oil painting, which brought a pop of color into the otherwise dull study. It was decorated in line with Sebastian’s personality.
One of the walls was covered in bookshelves. There was a mini gym and an area to relax as well. An antique clock on the wall indicated that it was currently ten.
Sebastian said, “Wait for me here. It’ll only take 20 minutes. No one will come in.”
Then, he left.
Finally alone, Valeria relaxed. She sighed. The room smelt so familiar.
The shelves were covered with boring medical textbooks. Valeria flipped through some of them slowly, looking at his notations. His handwriting had changed from when they were kids.
When Sebastian walked in, Valeria didn’t realize it. She only noticed him when he was standing right behind her.
