Chapter 284

Is this girl so tough?

After breakfast, Sebastian went to the study room first. Macro came out of the kitchen afterward and looked at Stephanie. Stephanie turned around, pretending not to see him.

“Run, run,” Macro said, wrapping his hands around his chest. His tone was extremely dissatisfied.

Stephanie knew why Sebastian had asked Macro to leave earlier; he had seen her discomfort. At that moment, seeing Macro’s controlled demeanor, Stephanie turned and weakly called, “Macro.”

Macro stepped forward and snorted, “Is your injury better?”

Stephanie said nothing. Hearing his words, her face darkened. Macro naturally knew where she was injured; his question was perfectly natural. It was also his answer. Stephanie’s small face turned completely red, and she didn’t dare look up.

Seeing she didn’t speak, Macro said, “I’m asking you something.”

“Okay, it’s better,” she replied.

No, why would he ask that question? Is this his business?

Macro said, “Girls should take care of themselves. Although Sebastian has always loved you and indulged you, men are often not considerate in this regard.”

Stephanie didn’t say anything. At that moment, Macro continued to lecture Stephanie.

“He doesn’t know how to control himself, but you have to know how to protect yourself. That kind of injury is no joke.”

“Just stop it,” Stephanie finally retorted, unable to bear it any longer. She was totally embarrassed to see Macro.

Macro said, “I was doing you good.”

Stephanie said, “I don’t know what’s good or bad, do I? Yes, so please stop talking.”

Stephanie said, “I’ll get out of your hair right away.” Without waiting for Macro to react, she turned and ran away. With that nimble back, if she went to school, she would be a great athlete. She just left Macro standing there.

“She runs so fast,” Macro mused. “Sebastian has worried for nothing all these years. At this speed, even if she ran away from the enemy, no one would be able to catch up.”

In a flash, she disappeared. It seemed the medicine he’d asked someone to buy wasn’t bad; she could even use her legs like this. Macro scratched the back of his head, turned around, and met a pair of gloomy eyes. Sebastian was standing at the staircase.

Caught off guard by his gaze, Macro felt a chill. “No, why are you looking at me like that?”

“It’s none of your business,” Sebastian replied, his tone laced with displeasure and a hint of coldness.

Macro didn’t know what to say. “Sorry, I was overstepping.”

Didn’t he think that his brother and husband were completely different men?

Elliot approached from the other side. “Mr. Giovanni.”

“What’s happening?”

“Luka has secretly arrived in Long Harbor,” Elliot explained. “The person beside Luka is her friend.”

It was Sofia.

Macro said, “What do you mean?”

Elliot glanced at Macro, then looked at Sebastian and said, “It should be Mr. Giovanni’s order to have her steal Stefi.”

Macro’s heart clenched. No way. Is this girl so tough? Stephanie was not just Sebastian’s sister now. If someone dared to steal her, she probably wouldn’t want to live.

“It’s a misunderstanding, this is absolutely a misunderstanding. Mr. Grant, you can’t just assume she’s here to steal someone just because she brought Sofia’s people with her; that’s not right.”

Sebastian’s face was gloomy, and he glanced at Macro coldly. Macro panicked at his look and said, “No, I…”

Could it be that Luka was really instigated by Sofia to find a way to steal Stephanie away?

“Eh? That’s not right, the two of them have been at odds all the time, you know that, right?”

Luka and Sofia have been at odds for many years, and their meetings were like thunder and lightning. From this point of view, it was absolutely impossible for Luka to listen to anything Sofia said.

Elliot said, “It’s precisely because they’re at odds that it’s easier to avoid suspicion.”
