94. THE GUESTS CELINE’s POV “Put me down!” I tried to warn Sebastian, but all he did was laugh at me, his eyes rolled back in his head, and I couldn’t help but sigh in regret as I stared at him. I resisted the urge to touch his beautiful face, even though my hand was almost raised to do so, because I was afraid that he would interpret my actions in the wrong way. “I said… put me down!” I yelled, which made him freeze, and eventually he put me down on the bed. I shot him a glare and stood up, walking towards the window and opening it after drawing the curtains. It startled me when Sebastian hugged me from behind, and I flinched as he did so. “Did I not tell you that you’re not permitted to allow yourself to be bullied by other people?” he murmured in my ear. I frowned and tried to make sense of what he was telling me, then I recalled how his elders talked about me earlier. “If it’s going to make them feel comfortable, then let them say a few more words…” I said as I slowly slid away from his hold. “It’s not like I suffered an actual wound from what they said. If, on the other hand, I were to refuse them, I would only show that I am a proud and conceited person. Obviously, I’ve never given a da mn about what other people think of me, but…” I heaved a sigh as I made my way to the fridge in the corner of his room, where I took a bottle of water and began to drink from it. “But your father was there…” I continued as I turned to look at him. ” And I believe that as a nice daughter-in-law, I definitely shouldn’t tram ple on my father-in-law’s pride in front of others… +25 BONUS Upon hearing this, Sebastian walked over to where I was standing and, with a grin on his face, he pushed me up against the fridge, trapping me with his arms. I turned my head away as his face inched closer, and as a result, his warm breath began to brush against the side of my neck.
“It seems that you’re getting used to the role of a daughter-in-law, hmm…?” he spoke in a low and husky voice. “Does that mean that you’re ready to take on the role of being my wife now?” I used my index finger to push him away from me, and I looked at him with a stony expression, my mouth was curled up in a smug grin.” Aren’t you going to see Brylee?” His lips curved as if telling me that his wife really knew how to
change the topic. Oh… hell yeah… I was the best. “Even if you don’t care about her, how about the woman who gave her the heart?” I added, my tone tinged with sarcasm as I looked at him. He used one of his long fingers to lift my chin, and he was standing so close to me that I could already smell the mint on his breath. “If you mention this again, I’ll take it that you’re jealous of them…” he said, teasing me while unconsciously curling his lips into a smirk. I scoffed at him and shoved him violently to the side, which caused him to laugh aloud. But the smile on his face faded almost immediately when we heard cars drive in from the gate. He turned his back on me, and walked towards the window. As I drew nearer to take a better look at who had arrived, I couldn’t help but frown. Imagine my surprise when I saw Brylee emerge from the car, still dressed in a hospital gown. +25 BONUS I didn’t expect her to come here so spon. It hadn’t even been four hours since she passed out at her own wedding. If it were in the past, she would have stayed a week in the hospital even when she was just having a cold. Sebastian was completely silent and would only occasionally glance over at me to see how I was reacting. After what seemed like only a few seconds, I felt him grab my wrist and started to pull me toward the door. “Let’s go downstairs…”
I involuntarily narrowed my eyes and had the urge to pull my hand back, but he held it so firmly that I couldn’t let go at all. But as soon as he opened the door of his room, we were greeted by his sister, who had also just emerged from her room, and she was now examining my appearance in great detail. “Did you really marry this woman?” She inquired, her eyes darting back and forth between her brother and me. “You’re supposed to call her sister-in-law, Cynthia…” Sebasid and Cynthia’s mouth twitched as if she didn’t know how to time. “Hello there, sister-in-law…” While she was in a daze and Sebasti was slacking off, I broke free from his grasp and grabbed Cynthia’s arm. “It’s a pleasure to meet you…” Cynthia jumped and brushed away my hand harshly. “Sister-in-law?” she grimaced. “Eeewww! Don’t you dare touch me!” But I clutched her arm tightly, just like how my husband had grabbed me just now, and didn’t allow Cynthia to move. “Your brother and I have already gotten our marriage certificates. From this point forward, I’ll be your sister-in-law… so you have to be nice to me, and treat me with respect, so that I’ll take care of you…” 1/5 +25 BONUS I gave her a friendly smile and gazed at her with my dazzling eyes. But for some inexplicable reason, the look I gave her combined with my smile made her appear uneasy. “Who told you that I need someone to look after me?!” she asserted in a firm voice. “Let go of me!” Her level of resistance increased whenever I refused to let go of my hold on her. “I said get your hands off of me!” “Nope…” I scoffed as I disregarded her efforts to resist and dragged her toward the stairwell. Amidst all of the commotion, Cynthia did not have a choice but to go. along with being dragged or else I
would push her down the stairs. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, I let go of her hand and grabbed the arm of the man who was following behind us. I want to show the guests that Sebastian is now in my possession. Cynthia made a frowning and pouting face before quickly straightening out her sleeves, which had been crumpled as a result o my firm grasp. Sebastian’s grin grew gradually wider as he felt the friction of my skin against his as we made our way towards the plush couch where the guests were already seated and their attention was focused on us. The piercing look that Brylee was giving me with her eyes was particularly intense. The icy gaze that Sasha, who was sitting next to my sister… was casting my way pierced right through me. “You… s lut!” Allen was still young and aggressive, and he gave off the impression that he sincerely wanted to put an end to my life by beating me to death. +25 BONUS However, beforeheaddlevevertake a half step out, Julio Lauren stopped him and provevented himdrom moving towards me. “What are you doing?
