DreameNovelSebastian never left hwithout an impressive entourage, always ensuring he had enough bodyguards with him. He feared an assassination attempt at any moment.
Even here, in a place he considered extremely safe, he still felt a lingering sense of insecurity.
Security teams were stationed at the mountain's foot and helicopters, patrolling the summit. Sebastian stood at the mountain's base, holding Nana with one arm while his other hand held Rosalie's.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRosalie set Nana down on the ground and said, "Now, the three of us are going to climb up the mountain together." Looking ahead, they saw a long flight of stairs. This mountain originally had none, but Sebastian had funded their construction. "Rose, Nana, let's begin. Nana, you go first. Mommy will go after you, and Daddy will protect both of you from behind," Sebastian said as he gently nudged Nana forward.
Excited, Nana eagerly climbed the steps.
Rosalie had no choice but to follow, while Sebastian took up the rear.
After about twenty minutes of climbing, Rosalie was exhausted. She wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Nana was too tired to go on as well. She sat down on the step and gently tugged at Rosalie's hand. "Mommy, are you tired?" In truth, Nana was the one who was exhausted, but she didn't dare admit it to Sebastian, so she chose to ask Rosalie first. She was a clever child.
Rosalie looked at her daughter's flushed little face and turned to Sebastian. "I'm tired. I want to rest for a while." "No problem." Sebastian sat down on the steps. "Let's take a break." He pulled a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Rosalie.
Rosalie took it and only took a sip before giving it to Nana.
Nana held the bottle and gulped down a few mouthfuls. Rosalie quickly took it away. "Don't drink too much, or you'll feel ufortable climbing later." Nana obediently nodded. Her eyes twinkled like stars and radiated an ane innocent light. She was like an angel-pure and simple. How could Rosalie not feel pity for her? Sadly, Nana's appearance was a mistake. Sebastian had forcibly dragged her into this world, into what was essentially a living hell. Perhaps, to Nana, it was not yet hell. But once she grew older, she would understand that this family was far from normal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian silently watched the mother and daughter interact. Then, he wrapped an arm around Rosalie's shoulders. "You two will grow closer in time." Rosalie placed the water bottle on the step beside her and hugged her knees, gazing down at the stairs below.
They had climbed so high up already, and the staircase seemed to stretch endlessly into the distance.
If she jumped down, would she die? The scenery around them was beautiful, but when forced to be with someone she despised, even the most breathtaking view lost its appeal.
A small head slowly leaned against Rosalie's legs, resting there. She turned her head and saw Nana's bright eyes looking up at her. Rosalie reached out and gently stroked her head. шл Nana wrapped her arms around Rosalie's leg and laughed.
Even though Rosalie didn't like talking to her, Nana still liked Rosalie. She liked the feeling of having Mommy by her side.
Sebastian's gaze softened. How he wished tcould stop at this moment so that the three of them could live happily together for a lifetime.
His eyes lingered on Rosalie's side profile, finally seeing a rare trace of tenderness, though that tenderness was not directed toward him. To him, she was always cold and devoid of affection. That was why he would try his hardest to prove himself in bed, forcing her to yield to the physical sensations she could not suppress.
Only when she gasped softly, her cheeks flushed and her eyes misty with unshed tears-only then did he feel satisfied.
