Chapter 199 Our Home
That night, Sebastian took Lillian straight to Ravenwood Manor.
Finished
The car stopped in front of the main residence. Lillian looked at the building in puzzlement. “This is p>
“Our home. From now on, whenever we’re in Kingston, this is where we’ll stay p>
“But Karina is still at the hotel. If I don’t go back tonight, she’ll worry.” Though she had lived under the same roof with Sebastian long enough to trust he wouldn’t cross the line, she still felt nervous.
Sebastian took in her shy, anxious look and couldn’t resist teasing. “What, are you afraid I’ll turn into a wolf at night and devour you p>
The air suddenly grew tense. Sebastian chuckled and ruffled her hair gently. “Lillian, I’ll wait for you to grow
“But since you’re by my side, I won’t let you out of my sight. I’ve already had someone notify your subordinate, so you don’t need to worry p>
Meeting his deep gaze, Lillian nodded without realizing it.
He smiled, got out, and opened her door. “Come on, let me show you our home p>
Those words-our home-moved her deeply. After drifting through two lives, someone had finally told her this was their home.
As they stepped out, Louis was already waiting at the door.
“Louis, weren’t you in Solara?” She remembered him being there when she left.
Louis smiled warmly. “Miss Lillian, the day you arrived in Kingston, Master sent me ahead. He was worried you wouldn’t be properly looked after p>
Lillian turned to Sebastian. Just how much had he done for her behind the scenes?
He smirked. “Don’t look at me like that. Or I won’t be able to control myself. I am a man, after all p>
Her face flushed scarlet.
Louis chuckled, watching the young couple with quiet relief.
“Sir, Miss Lillian’s room is ready. It’s right next to yours p>
Sebastian nodded and led her upstairs.
The room’s design matched her bedroom in Solara-simple yet grand, understated luxury. Black marble floors were covered with thick rugs, the pearl-white bed dressed in silver-gray linens. A walk-in closet was fully stocked with brand-name clothes and shoes.
From behind, Sebastian wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered at her ear, “Do you like it p>
Lillian’s eyes reddened slightly, her voice husky. “When did you prepare all this p>

Chapter 199 Our Home
Finished
“Ever since I returned to Kingston. You’re the one I’ve chosen, and I want you fully woven into my life. Everywhere I’ve ever lived, I want your presence p>
Turning to face him, she said quietly, “Mr. Whitmore, I’m not as good as you think. I have many secrets. I’m not kind, and I hold grudges p>
She didn’t know where to begin, but the tangled vendetta with the Sinclair family would one day have to be resolved. She couldn’t even promise what kind of person she might become by then.
Sebastian leaned forward, pressing his forehead to hers, his voice low and rough. “My little one doesn’t need to be kind. Do whatever you want. I’ll always be behind you p>
She gazed into his obsidian eyes and felt strength flooding her. No matter her past, she could face it bravely now-because she knew he would be there.
Meanwhile, in another Kingston villa-
A man lounged on a sofa, his refined, gentle features radiating warmth. His long legs were casually crossed, his languid posture steeped in noble charm. He flipped through a script in his hands.
From the kitchen, a middle-aged woman emerged with a glass of milk. Setting it on the table before him, she said with concern, “Randall, you need rest. Stop reading scripts p>
Randall set the script aside, picked up the glass, and answered hoarsely, “I’m fine. A little rest is all I need. How’s the matter I asked you to look into p>
Winona retrieved a folder from her bag and handed it over. “The girl’s name is Lillian. She’s a student at Riverdale High School. Two years ago, she went viral online for a while, then vanished. Recently she was spotted at an airport, but afterward there’s been no news p>
Randall scanned the sparse report. Aside from what Winona had said, there was almost nothing of note. The photo attached showed a girl of breathtaking beauty, her elegance understated-but the image didn’t capture even a fraction of her presence. The lack of information was itself suspicious. There was only one explanation: someone had deliberately hidden it.
Seeing his silence, Winona asked, “Should we reach out? See if she has any wishes? If we can help her, maybe even help her rise in the entertainment world p>
Randall shook his head, setting the papers aside before looking up. “No. With her gifts, if she wanted fame, she would have claimed it already. She clearly has no interest in it. If fate wills it, we’ll meet again p>
He set down the empty glass and headed upstairs.
