Chapter 79

79. ONE WISH

SEBASTIAN’S POV

I was waiting for the office hours to come to an end as I sat in my swivel chair and periodically checked the time on the watch that was attached to my wrist. It was very strange because I usually work until the evening, but here I was feeling anxious and excited about going home because of a girl named Celine who had been on my mind ever since I met her…

My thoughts kept going back to the events that took place in

Cynthia’s room the night before. I was able to hear them being noisy in my room. However, when I couldn’t take it any longer, I stormed into my sister’s room, and what I saw made me laugh out loud when was alone in my room; the nightgown Celine was wearing had been completely ruined.

And I witnessed the shock on her face as she realized that I was able

to see her mounds. It turned her face the color of beetroot. Even though I had seen them so many times before, the thought of how delicious those were still caused me to feel a flush of excitement.

Then there was the incident that happened earlier today when she teased Jake in front of me. I will freely admit that I was feeling envious. I want it to be just me that she would be acting like that toward, rather than anyone else.

All of those images and feelings tangled up together are running through my head, and it’s confusing me.

I heaved a sigh. I have only one wish, and that’s to be able to see her every time.

I had just finished organizing the items that were sitting on top of my desk, and was shutting down my laptop when I heard a knock at my

door. I looked up to see Jason walking into my office.

“Mr. Anderson… you are scheduled to meet with the Korean investors at three o’clock this afternoon. Would you like to—”

“Cancel it…” I ordered, clicking the mouse with my finger.

“What?”

“Jason, you need to call off the meeting…” I muttered again before slamming down the lid of my laptop. “I’ll be leaving work early to go home. There’s something very important matter that needs to be taken care of at the house…”

“Important matter?” The frown on my secretary’s face deepened. “But

all of the important matters for you are currently here in your office. And this is the very first time that you have ever left the office at such an early hour. You stated before that there’s nothing more essential than doing your work and earning a living-”

“Jason…” I groaned and shot him an angry glance. “Since when did you want to call into question the decision that I made?”

“Uh, I’m so sorry…” He kept his attention fixed on the ground as he looked down. “I’ll cancel the meeting as soon as possible…”

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head, put his heels together, and then walked out of my office.

When I got home, I found my mother and Brylee making their way up the stairs. Mom gave the impression that she had warm feelings towards her son’s future wife, and the fact that she detested Celine

was very obvious.

I was relieved that they didn’t notice me, so I hurried up into my room, taking the elevator, and took a quick shower after lying on my bed to

rest for a little while..

I couldn’t help but think about what would happen if my parents were aware of what had transpired between the twins while I was allowing the warm water to cascade down my body. Would they hold a dislike for Brylee but a fondness for Celine?

I don’t think so….

After I had finished showering and put on some comfortable clothes, I made my way out of my room. I saw Cynthia and Celine arrive home from school, and I noticed that Celine was not in a good mood; her face was gloomy, and her gaze seemed to penetrate everything that she saw.

But I have no idea why she is acting as though nothing is wrong with her.

“Celine!” I saw Jake come out of the kitchen, and I couldn’t help but frown when he walked towards the two girls who were working on something that looked like homework on the coffee table. “You’re home! I’ve been waiting for you since forever…”

I scoffed. Really, huh?

When my sister saw Jake take a seat next to Celine, she frowned and pursed her lips as she watched him do so. I heaved a sigh as I stood in the corridor on the upper floor, my palms pressed against the balusters as I watched them down in the living room.

Celine merely gave Jake a polite nod in response. Because she had been so flirtatious towards him earlier in the day, it bothered me that

she didn’t even make the effort to give him a smile.

“Jake… I can’t find a solution to this problem. Can you help me

answer it?” Cynthia wedged herself in between Celine and Jake, prompting the latter to frown but still check what Cynthia was asking

him.

“You can move on to the next question…” Jake said. “Give me a few moments, and I’ll get back to you on that…”

After that, he got up from his seat and moved over to sit next to Celine. When Cynthia saw this, she shot a murderous glare at the woman who was intently reading a book, completely oblivious to the fact that the young woman sitting next to her was already trying to kill her with her gaze.

I thought that they were already friends… and why does my sister have such a strong dislike for Celine?

“Hasn’t Sebastian been home from the office yet?” I was startled when I heard my name coming from Celine’s mouth. Why was she looking for me in the first place?

“Not yet…” Jake provided a response. “It was always expected that he would return after dinner. Recently, he’s been inundated with work…”

Celine gave a short nod in response to Jake, and then she snapped her head towards my sister when Cynthia slammed the book down on

the table.
