chapter 44

Ava's POV

"Surprise." I said to sebastine with a smile on my face.

He looked at me without removing the smile that he was wearing the moment that he saw all of us.

"Did you do it? I mean, you're the one who planned this all?".

"I was the one who designed it, but Lance was the one who planned it." I replied as I glanced at Lance who was walking towards us.

He patted Sebastine on his shoulder. "Happy Birthday, my dearest younger brother!".

"Thank you." said Sebastine then they hugged each other.

Everyone started greeting him and he just smiled at them and asked them to eat already.

"I didn't know you know how to smile." I joked when he came back to me.

"And it's because of you." he suddenly said which automatically caused my heart to flutter.

Why is he smiling so beautifully?.

This is the very first time that I see him smile.

"This pasta tastes so fucking good!".

"Really? I was the one who cooked it." I said.

"You really are a good wife to me, Ava."

My cheeks felt hot.

"I just thought that it would be more special if I'll be the one to cook the food."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"Then I should thank you for that." He suddenly smiled while staring at my face.

"seb, I know exactly what you're thinking."

He raised an eyebrow. "What? I haven't even said anything."

"But your eyes tell it all." I said while narrowing my eyes at him.

Sebastine didn't take his eyes off me.

"You look so fucking beautiful tonight, Ava."

"W-Why do you always have to add a curse before your compliments?".

"Because a simple adjective isn't enough to describe how wonderful you look. You're so beautiful that I can already feel my pants getting tighter here."

My eyes widened. "Seb_Sebastine! You're a pervert!" I whispered to him while looking around, trying to know if anyone heard what he just said.

Good thing no one did.

"I am." He said.

I just reached for a glass of wine then I drank it all when I suddenly felt sebastine's hand on my right leg.

I glared at him and he just smiled at me as if he did nothing. His hand traveled up to my thigh, gently stroking and squeezing it without taking his eyes off me.

I gulped and tried to look the other way and pretended that I didn't care but sebastine moved his hands again that he almost touched the most intimate part of me. I widened my eyes at him.

"W-What the hell are you doing?!".

"Thanking you."

I put my hand above his hand that was touching my thigh and tried to brush it off but he kept on coming back and touch it again.

"I think you forgot that I already own this part of you?" he said as he continues caressing my legs.

"B-But someone might see us!" I said while looking around.

"And so what? You're my wife after all."

I heaved a sigh.

I don't think I can even stop him.

Good thing he finally stopped and laughed.

"You don't know how cute you are whenever you're making that face."

"W-What face?".

"W-What face?".

"The face that you give when you're being turned on."

Heat automatically invaded my whole face. "How could you even—

"sebastine." Lance suddenly walked towards us so I straightened my back and looked at him.

"I'm sorry, did I disturb you?".

I shook my head. "N-No, not at all."

"What is it?" Sebastine asked him.

"You have a visitor."

Sebastine furrowed his brows. "Who is it?"

Lance then smiled as he looked in a certain direction.sebastine and I then turned our heads to the entrance of the garden.

My mouth went agape as soon as I saw the person that Lance told us about.

She was walking in our direction wearing her pink small dress. She was a tanned-skin woman with perfect curves and blonde hair.

She literally looks like a doll.

Everyone in the garden followed her with their eyes.

She was looking at Sebastine with a smile on her face.

"Long time no see, Sebastine." she said as soon as she was able to stand in front of us.

Even her voice sounded so beautiful. I was just staring at her, thinking where I saw her before because her face looks somewhat familiar.

"M-Monica…" Sebastine mumbled.

M-Monica?

That woman that sebastine mentioned that night.

She's that girl? "I told you, she just arrived here last week. She visited me at our university too."

Lance suddenly said.

Now that I think of it…

"T-That's you?!" I yelled so loud while pointing at her. I put my hand on my mouth when I realized that they were all looking at me.

"S-Sorry…" I mumbled.

The woman suddenly shifted

her attention to me. She looked at me from my head down to my feet before finally looking into my eyes. "Who are you?".

"I…uh… I'm Ava. Ava Thompson."

She just raised an eyebrow at me then she looked at Sebastine, ignoring my hand when I tried to reach out to her.

"Won't you even give me a hug? Didn't you miss me?".

Sebastine stared at her for a while he leaned closer and hugged her.

And I don't know but I suddenly felt something bad.
