Since Sebastian was from the Jadeson family, most of the soldiers there were waiting to see him
embarrass himself back when he was sent to the military base
They had heard stories about him being unpredictable and hot-tempered. On top of that, he wouldnât
even listen to Jonathan, his grandfather.
Thus, a lot of them thought that he would only last a few days in this base.
However, three months had passed by then. He was only stubborn and rebellious during the first few
days, but as time went by, he started carrying out his tasks mechanically like a robot.
He was always putting on a neutral expression as though nothing could ever trigger his emotions, which
intimidated the rest of them.
At that moment, the crowd was holding their breath as they stared at the two of them on the training
ground.
âBring me that bag,â Sebastian finally said something. His expression grew a little awkward as he turned
away from her.
The crowd was still watching them in silence.
Sasha understood what he meant, and she looked up at him with her bright clear eyes. âSure. Iâll be right
back.â
She then ran to the bench and grabbed his bag, which contained his towel and water bottle.
Meanwhile, Logan was watching the scene in a daze.
A couple of minutes later, the two of them finally walked out of the training ground. Sasha was already
back to her cheery self as she followed him around.
On the other hand, Sebastian, who had not let anyone in this base get near to him for the past three
months, remained emotionless in her presence.
âSeb, are you leaving already? The next test is at eleven. You can get some rest with Sasha until then.â
Logan walked up to them, smiling at the sight of them standing next to each other.
It turned out that Jonathan had arranged for the military to give Sebastian some tests during his time
here so that he wouldnât take his three months of training lightly.
However, Sebastian merely shot him a cold glare before walking away.
Sasha was stunned.
Seriously?
She said apologetically to Logan, âCommander Hamilton, I must apologize for his bad temper. He has
always been like this. I hope you wonât take it to heart.â
Fortunately, Logan did not seem to mind at all. âItâs okay. Weâre used to it already. Anyway, Sasha, you
got here early today. Have you eaten your breakfast yet? Why donât you grab something to eat while
waiting?â
âWhat?â Sasha didnât even realize that she was hungry until he mentioned it. âWould that be okay?â
âSure. Just ask Seb to bring you to the cafeteria. Although weâre at a military base, we have food that
tastes as good as those sold outside.â
Heâs being way too enthusiastic. Why does it feel like heâs cheering for us?
A blush crept up Sashaâs cheeks at that thought. She then turned around and walked away.
Breakfast?
She would never dare to bring that up in front of Sebastian when he was already mad about her sudden
arrival. In fact, she would be glad if he didnât kick her out right away.
âDarling, do you want some water?â
She ran up to him while panting heavily. Not knowing what else to say, she took out the bottle of water
from his bag.
âNope.â Sebastian was still striding forward without any intention to stop.
Sasha could only put the bottle back in the bag dejectedly.
The weather that morning was great. Poplar trees were planted in rows at the military base, resembling
soldiers standing guard. As the soldiers were training on the field, loud commands could be heard from
time to time, which intimidated Sasha who had never seen anything like that.
âWhoâs that girl? Sheâs so beautiful.â
âI know. It has been a while since we saw a girl in a white dress. Sheâs so different from our female
comrades who are always in their uniforms.â
âMy words exactlyâ¦â
Some soldiers, who were not in training, spotted Sasha walking past them, and their attentions were
instantly fixed on her.
Meanwhile, Sasha didnât hear what they said as she was busy catching up to the man walking ahead of
her.
Right then, he suddenly stopped in his tracks. Being caught off guard, she crashed into his back.
âDarling, why did you suddenly stop?â
She covered her nose in pain, and her doe-like eyes turned watery as she looked up at him.
She seemed so fragile and pitiful, like a kitten.
Sebastianâs heart skipped a beat when he saw her like that.
âWhy did I stop? You werenât even keeping your eyes on the road when you were walking. What were
you doing?â he grabbed her wrist as he gave her an earful.
