Chapter 94 Tenderness After the Storm
After freshening up, Sebastian led Lilian by the hand to the dining comm.
The table was already set, mostly with light and simple dishes.

He helped her into her seat and gently brushed her hair back over her shoutter Your body’s still too weak, so you shouldn’t eat anything greasy,” he said softly, placing a bowl of soupin front of her. Then he served her a few side dishes onto her plate.
Watching his careful movements, Lilian smiled. “You’ve really become the parienboyfriend p>
Sebastian lightly brushed the tip of her nose with his finger and said indulgenty. You’re still in the mood to joke around p>
Just then, Foster rushed in. When he saw Lilian eating at the table, his oyes wittentathin disbelief. Ms.
Lilian p>
Lilian waved with a grin. “Long time no see. I’m not a ghost, you know p>
Sebastian reached out to ruffle her hair again, unable to hide the fondness in his expression. “Troublemaker.” Then he turned to Foster. “Well? What is it p>
Snapping out of his shock, Foster quickly replied, “Sir, Mr. Justin is here to see you p>
Even now, Foster still couldn’t believe Ms. Lilian had come back completely unscathed. Thebat had been powerful enough to reduce the car to scraps-how could any human survive that?
Sebastian’s brows furrowed, and a cold light flickered in his obsidian eyes. “I won’t see him. Tell him to stop wasting his time p>
Lilian glanced at him, puzzled by the flash of anger in his tone. Her fair face was full of quer commission.
Sebastian didn’t answer. Instead, he picked up a piece of bread, spread strawberry jan on it, and antedit to her. “Don’t overthink it. It has nothing to do with you. Just eat p>
Lilian took the bread and gave him a questioning look. “Mr. Justin… you mean Justin p>
She already had a good idea who was behind the accident. After all, the only people she knew in Santy River were the Lincolns. It wasn’t hard to guess which side it came from.
“Yes. The Lincoln family was behind it,” Sebastian said in a low, dark voice. “I’m just making sure they pay the price.
His jaw tightened, and his expression turned dangerously cold just thinking about how close she’d come to dying.
Lilian lowered her gaze. “Thank you p>
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t moved. She knew how powerful Sebastian was, but for him to drop everything, stay behind in Sandy River, and search for her-that wasn’t something just anyone would do.
Sebastian took her hand in his. His voice was low and rough. “Lilian, don’t thank me. I’m willing to do

anything for you. I don’t need your gratitude. I just want you to live your life happily p>
Lilian didn’t object to his decisions.
Finished
After the meal, she plugged in her phone. Thankfully, she’d tossed it into the space before the explosion- otherwise, it would’ve been destroyed. When it powered on, more than thirty missed calls flooded in. She began returning them one by one.
“Karina, I’m okay p>
“Yeah, don’t worry. No one can hurt me p>
“Thanks for handling things at the company p>
“Yeah. I’ll be flying back tomorrow p>
“Okay, see you tomorrow night p>
Sebastian came down the stairs just in time to see her smiling brightly while chatting on the phone. His brows furrowed slightly. Jealousy prickled in his chest. Without a word, he walked over, took the phone from her hand, and hung up.
Lilian shot him a look. “Sebastian, what are you doing? I was on the phone p>
He raised a brow and met her gaze with a slightly aggrieved tone. “Lilian, your attention should be on me. I’m way more interesting than a phone p>
“You…” Lilian pressed a hand to her forehead, at a complete loss. This man was getting shameless.
Sebastian grinned at her expression. He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms, his voice teasing and low. “You were smiling so sweetly just now-I didn’t like it one bit p>
She stared at him, stunned. Then she burst into laughter. She never imagined he’d be this cute when jealous.
Standing behind them, Foster looked on in silent horror. Is this really our cold-blooded, no-nonsense Mr. Sebastian?
Propping up his head with one arm, Sebastian stared into her eyes. “We’re flying back tomorrow. I’ll take you somewhere tomorrow night p>
“Where?” Lilian asked curiously.
His obsidian eyes shimmered with mystery. “You’ll see when we get there p>
