Time was getting late. Greg glanced toward the entrance and asked quietly, “Why hasn’t Sebastian arrived yet p>

Jared looked hesitant. “Dad, you know how Sebastian’s been these past few years. Ever since that incident, he’s kept to himself. I asked Felix to inform him this time p>
A pained look flickered through Mr. Greg’s eyes. He let out a deep sigh.
“I know where he went-Solara,” Felix said with a sly grin.
“Solara? Again?” Greg’s brows furrowed. “Didn’t he just go not long ago? Why would he go back
so soon p>
Felix shrugged. “No clue. I only found out because I overheard Foster mentioning it p>
Just then, two rows of men in black suits entered the banquet hall, each carrying elaborately wrapped gift boxes. Behind them, a man followed.
He was dressed in a vintage-style double-breasted black suit that emphasized his tall, lean frame. The deep green cufflinks glinted subtly under the chandeliers-elegant without excess. His breathtakingly handsome face drew every gaze in the room. Silence fell over the entire banquet hall.
“Grandfather, happy birthday. Wishing you boundless fortune and long life,” Sebastian said respectfully as he stepped forward. Taking a box from Foster, he handed it to Greg. “I heard you like ink scrolls. I hope this one suits your taste p>
Greg accepted the box with a smile. “Sebastian, just the fact that you came is more than enough p>
Jared came over, adding, “You’ve been abroad for years now. Your grandfather’s always talking about you-he’s been waiting for this day p>
“I’ll stay,” Sebastian said quietly, his magnetic voice calm and certain.
When Greg opened the box, the rich scent of ink wafted out. The scroll itself had an ancient, dignified aura. As he unrolled it, murmurs of admiration rose from the crowd.
“A genuine piece p>
“Absolutely priceless p>
“You couldn’t get this kind of calligraphy even at auction p>

Greg stared in astonishment at the scroll for a long time. “Sebastian… you really put thought into this p>
Sebastian offered a faint smile. “As long as you like it p>
Felix strolled over with a grin. “You really went all out. I’m impressed p>
Sebastian’s lips curved slightly. “Come on. It’s been a while. Let’s have a drink p>
Greg laughed. “Yes, go catch up. It’s been too long since you two had time together p>
In the garden, Felix and Sebastian sat side by side, chatting idly.
“There you are,” came a crisp, confident voice behind them.
Elsa and Triny approached, smiling.
Elsa nudged Triny forward. “Remember her? You two used to play together. You were always picking on her when we were little p>
Triny’s cheeks flushed. “Elsa! That was ages ago. Why bring it up now p>
Sebastian’s obsidian eyes swept across Triny’s face with a calm indifference. “Sorry. I don’t remember p>
Triny froze for a moment, her smile faltering before she forced it back. “That’s okay. It’s been so long, I barely remember either p>
She extended her hand, sweetly adding, “Let me introduce myself then. I’m Triny. Sebastian- don’t forget this time p>
Sebastian didn’t even look at her. He rose and said to Felix, “Let’s go. We’ve been gone too long from Grandfather’s party p>
Felix gave Triny a brief, apologetic look, then followed Sebastian without a word.
Triny awkwardly pulled her hand back. Elsa gently patted her shoulder. “That’s just how he is. He’s got a serious thing about germs-he never shakes hands with women. Don’t take it personally p>
Triny forced a smile. “It’s fine. We haven’t seen each other in years. Once we spend more time together, things will change p>
As she watched Sebastian walk away, a flicker of obsession darkened her eyes.
