NovelBook140 Heroic Moment In A War Scarlett's POV "What was that?!" Ava demands in haste, charging back to the study.
Damn it! She heard me.
Sebastian knocks on the glass door lightly, pointing at the lock. Luckily with Ava's frantic shout and turning the doorknob as cover, I unlocked the glass door and opened it smoothly.
"What-"I hiss at him but he covers my mouth and pullsout to the balcony.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What did you text Ava?" He asks directly.
"I don't know..." I murmur. Lucas sent it. I didn't leave until I returned his phone- Wait, he knew?! Sebastian drops that topic fast. "Under the table or cross the balcony's gap, choose one," He says swiftly with a strict tone, turningto the direction of my room," Under the table is safer, but walking out can be tricky-" "The balcony," I choose fast. The gap between the two balconies is less than one meter. I think Jack Fuller prepared the bedroom for his little girl from the start, and he never thought danger could cfrom this direction.
But it's still scary.
I look down and instantly feel adrenaline oozing out of my waist area, makingshiver.
"Blacony is okay," Sebastian comes up behind me, grabbing my waist gently as if a hug, "I won't let anything happen to you." I try to shrink myself under his palms. I don't want to own him, but I am taking his favor, and what I hate the most is I know I can trust him on his words.
"Wait, they have eyes on the balcony-" "Not right now," Sebastian says. His words are simple, but his tone so dominating that I just can't help but trust, "They left after that guy climbed up. Otherwise I can't cup without being seen. If you don't want to do it, I can just take you out and tell Ava-" 140 Heroes Moment In A War +25 BONUS "No!" I blurt, and start climbing over the balcony.
Sebastian grabs my wrist with one hand, keeping his other hand on my waist at my moves until I face him across the rail.
"Don't look down," Sebastian says, holding my waist with a firm hand as he does a short whistle, "Phwhht!" "Heard you from a mile away," Lucas's voice raises behind me, lazy and leisurely," sending the lady into such a dangerous mission is not nice." "I can take responsibility for her choices,” Sebastian frowns at him, leaning out as I try to reach over to Lucas, "It's your side that I'm worried about!" Lucas snorts coldly at Sebastian: "I know what I'm dealing with." I grab Lucas's hand in haste, worrying that his next sentence would be "unlike a husband who doesn't know his wife is pregnant". He picksup with one arm behind my back, landingsafely on our side. I dodge to the side in haste, looking back for Sebastian.
But he is not moving.
"You-you are not coming over?" I hiss at him, my heart still pumping hard in my chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Someone has to stay behind to lock the door," He smiles at me, "See you on the other side?" Why is he making this into sheroic moment?! It's Ava he has to deal with! Even if at war, she would only welchim with cakes and a cup of hot coffee! I frown, upset at myself.
I want to say it's fine if we don't lock the balcony's door. It's not like Jack Fuller wouldn't know who did it. He ке saw through my plan when I asked for Ava's room, and he set up today's trap just forto jump in. And I did, leaving Sebastian in the rope. I wanted a clean break. I don't like how he keeps trying to get close and is somehow hard to push away.
Sebastian walks in and closes the glass door. Lucas and I also leave the balcony when he glances at his phone: "Where is your phone?" My phone! 140 Hero Moment in A War *25 BONUS I gasp in shock, covering my mouth. I dropped it when Sebastian's presence scared me! It's still lying on the floor of the study!
"Ahem," Lucas clears his throat into his phone - our phone call is still on - trying to get Sebastian's attention. I take his phone, trying my best to restrain the urge to call his name. "Sebastian?!" Ava's voice comes through Lucas's phone, "What are YOU doing here?! Where is Scar?"
"Why would she be here?" Sebastian says calmly, "I found this on them ground sol took a corious shot. I'm sorry, but your dad's study has a very interesting lock." X Like RICH WOMEN? These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
