Her mind was already in a muddle. Now, hearing Sebastian ask her, she felt like she couldn't catch her breath.
"Um, well..." Even with the sharpest mind, she couldn't cup with a plausible reason now.
Ugh, this was really....
"Wait, I remembered. I had a nosebleed." Sebastian replied, "Huh?" "Yeah, a nosebleed. When I was helping you up, I accidentally bumped into something and got a nosebleed, which you on the scarf?" 'Would that excuse work? 'I don't know if Sebastian would buy it! she thought.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his deep eyes carrying emotions that Stephanie couldn't understand.
"A nosebleed?" "Yeah, a nosebleed." Stephanie Giovanni swallowed subconsciously.
Yes, a nosebleed. She dared not say anything else.
Meeting Sebastian's gaze, Stephanie felt an unprecedented tightness in her chest.
Hearing this, Sebastian strode forward and scooped her up from the bed.
He pinched her nose affectionately and asked, "Did you have a nosebleed?" Stephanie replied, "I cleaned it." She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Struggling, she tried to escape from Sebastian's grip.
"Ah, can you just letsleep? I'm really sleepy." She was scared to death.

1/4 Chapter 145 Her mind exploded again with a 'clang. Oh no, please don't ask anymore.
Good heavens....
If she was guilty of something, please let the police arrest her instead of torturing her like this.
After spending the whole night looking for excuses, Stephanie was now at a loss for words when faced with Sebastian's question.
She cautiously met Sebastian's gaze.
"Sebastian." "What's wrong?" Sebastian's warm fingertips were already stroking the scattered marks on Stephanie's neck.
The intense heat made Stephanie tremble all over.
A suffocating sensation gripped her chest. "Well, if I did something wrong, would you forgive me, Sebastian?" Stephanie was on the verge of tears when she said this.
Sebastian replied, "That depends on what kind of mistake you made, Stefi.” Stephanie was speechless and thought, “Can you forgivefor sleeping with you?" But it wasn't really her fault. He had initiated it. He made the first move.
The problem was, this man wouldn't remember anything when he was drunk, and she might end up getting blamed for it.
Stephanie's mind was in a complete mess.
Seeing her silence, Sebastian continued, "Stefi, if you fall in love with another man, that would be unforgivable." Stephanie's eyelids twitched.
Her expression stiffened as she looked at Sebastian, wondering, 'What if I'm in love with you? Would you forgivethen?' Her heart was already in chaos, and now, because of Sebastian's words, it felt like it was about to explode.
"Umm, I think I want to sleep now," she stammered.
Unable to give an answer, she resorted to sleep as an escape.
But Sebastian wasn't going to let her off that easily. His broad palm gripped her slender waist, leaving her nowhere to escape.
"Stefi, you haven't toldyet how you got those marks on your neck.” Stephanie didn't know what to say.
"I fell." The excuse lacked any credibility.
But with Stephanie's current state of mind, she didn't have the mental capacity to cup with another reason. Just stop asking.
2/4 Chapter 145 If he asked any more, she really wouldn't be able to handle it and would just tell him the truth. And then they might not even be siblings anymore.
No, she couldn't bear to lose him, and she didn't dare to take that gamble, Sebastian asked, "You fell? Stefi, do you think that excuse is convincing?" Stephanie was speechless and thought to herself, 'You're really continuing to press this issue: Argh.
"Please, call the police and have her arrested. At this moment, she'd gladly accept any charge just to be locked up" "Stefi." His magnetic voice continued to pound at Stephanie's tense nerves.
Stephanie couldn't take it anymore.
'Forget being siblings. Maybe I should just pursue him?' With a steeled resolve, Stephanie Giovanni decided to risk it all.
However, before she could utter a word, Sebastian's phone buzzed, interrupting their conversation. Stephanie, her body stiff with tension, glanced at the phone as if it were a lifeline. “Your phone's ringing." Sebastian looked at her, finally letting her go and picking up his phone to check the caller ID.
It was a call from Elliot Grant.
At this hour.
Sebastian's expression darkened as he walked aside and answered the call with a cold, single word, "Speak." Seeing Sebastian answer the phone, Stephanie's heart was still pounding wildly.
She had a feeling that this was far from over.
Within a minute, Sebastian cback in from the balcony with his phone, his expression less than pleased.
"Weren't you sleepy? Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Stephanie replied, "Oh, yeah, I'll sleep right away." With that, Stephanie burrowed herself into the bed. Just don't ask any more questions, please.

He approached, picked her up, and laid her down flat, "I've told you m countless times, don't sleep on your stomach. It's bad for your heart." Stephanie was speechless. I'm just trying to hide like an ostrich right now. I'll turn over when you leave! But she dared not say these.
3/4 12 Mar Chapter 145 Sebastian pulled the quilt over her. Before he got up, his fingers brushed against the bruises on her neck. Stephanie was at a loss for words.
Her already uneasy heart now raced even more.
Sebastian's tone was filled with significance. "There are so many bruises. They won't fade in less than a week." Stephanie was speechless and thought to herself, 'Do you have to stimulate my nerves like this?" "Wait, what does that mean?" She sensed that Sebastian actually remembered everything.
The moment Sebastian got up, Stephanie clutched the front of his pajamas.
In her haste, her fingernail accidentally scratched Sebastian's chest, perfectly matching his existing marks.
Stephanie's breath caught in her throat instantly.
Sebastian felt a pain and looked down at the wound on his chest. "Stefi," he said.
Stephanie froze, her words tumbling over each other in disarray.
Sebastian asked, "Stefi, did you scratch me?" Stephanie replied, "I didn't." This is bad. She really can't explain herself clearly. But heaven knows those wounds he had weren't inflicted by her.
Sebastian gazed deeply into her eyes.
-Those meaningful eyes seemed to conceal a hint of fiery passion at this moment.
