Lillian looked at Sebastian with an innocent expression. “Mr. Whitmore, did I really say something wrong p>
Sebastian caught the sly glimmer in her eyes. How could he not know this little fox was at it again? With a helpless smile, he stroked her hair gently and said, “Whatever you say is right. Even if it’s wrong, it’s still right p>
The little one gave a knowing look, then turned to Hans. “See? Mr. Whitmore says I wasn’t wrong. That proves I was right p>
“You…” Hans bit her lip hard, glaring at the girl with hatred. Why was it that every time this wretched girl appeared, her plans fell apart?
At that moment, Chloe stepped forward with a polite smile. “Miss, my cousin has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and it’s our family’s support that helped her along the way.
“After all, Sinclair Group is one of Kingston’s oldest enterprises. Not just any stray cat or dog can climb that high. If my cousin said anything inappropriate earlier, I hope you won’t take it to heart.
“Let’s consider this an introduction, since in Kingston we’ll surely see each other often. My father is Henry of Sinclair Group. If you ever need help, you can always come to me.” She pulled a business card from her bag and offered it gracefully.
Lillian studied Chloe from head to toe-her poise, her polished manner. She had to applaud her. No wonder, in her previous life, she had lost to this woman. So young, yet already so calculating. With more years, her schemes would only grow more refined.
“Sinclair Group… Henry? Isn’t that the man who kept a mistress outside and drove his own wife to her death?” Lillian’s lips curved in a dazzling, icy smile as she asked, her tone feigning innocence.
Sebastian froze, stunned. At that moment, he was certain-the little one must have some connection to the Sinclair family. He would have to investigate.
Chloe’s face drained of color. She stumbled a step back. “Y-you… what nonsense are you saying p>
Lillian’s expression softened as she let it go. “Oh? Then perhaps I remembered wrong. Forget I said anything.” She turned to Sebastian. “Mr. Whitmore, I’m tired. Let’s go back p>
Sebastian nodded gently. “Change out of the dress first. I’ll wait.” For some reason, hearing her say she was tired felt like a tear in his chest. What secrets was she hiding deep inside?
Lillian walked back into the fitting room. Sebastian handed his card to the sales staff to settle the bill.
The moment they saw the card, the staff froze in shock. It was one of Decade Plaza’s exclusive cards, valid nationwide for unlimited purchases.
When Lillian emerged, Sebastian took the shopping bag, laced his fingers through hers, and led her out of
the store.
Watching them leave hand in hand, Chloe and Hans both looked sour.
Once outside, Sebastian stopped at a sports shop and picked out a set of casual clothes to match Lillian’s—

It was the first time Lillian had seen him like this, dressed like a carefree young gentleman. Then he grabbed two identical baseball caps-one for himself, one for her.
Once they were dressed, he took her straight to an arcade. After exchanging for tokens, he gave her a roguish grin. “Come on. Today I’ll show you your brother’s skills p>
His words made her burst out laughing. Seeing her smile bloom like a lotus flower, Sebastian finally relaxed. Back at the store, he had clearly felt her turmoil. Even when she smiled, it had seemed forced. But now, her joy was genuine-and it filled his heart to the brim.
The two of them tore through the arcade, playing game after game.
By the time they walked out, they had tried nearly every machine. Night had already fallen, the city lights bright around them.
Lillian looked up at him, happiness shining in her eyes. “Mr. Whitmore, thank you. Today was really wonderful.” She understood perfectly well what he was doing. For her, he had set aside his identity, just to spend the day making her smile. How could she not be moved?
Sebastian’s gaze softened with tenderness. He drew her into his arms, his palm stroking her hair gently. “As long as you’re happy, everything is worth it p>
O
Her arms wrapped around his waist. Listening to his heartbeat, she whispered, “Mr. Whitmore, as long as you’re here, I’m not afraid. So please… don’t leave me p>
His low, husky voice answered, “Never. I’ll always be right behind you. No matter how far you go, I’ll walk with you forever p>
