Chapter 211 "Vonnie, letask you something." "What's up?" "Is it that obvious that I...like her?" Yvonne, the cheeky girl, figured it out in a heartbeat. Was she just too sharp, or was he too eager? "Are you kidding? You think you're being subtle?" Yvonne shot back.
"I'm asking you, okay? No need to flip out on me." Sebastian furrowed his brow. "Just answer my question." Yvonne replied, "Yep, you're as clear as day. One glance, and I could tell there was something off between you two," "Something off between us?" Sebastian propped his chin on the table edge. Then, he turned around, his expression somewhat awkward. " So, do you think it's justwho's off, or..." He paused, looking a bit embarrassed, but there was an urgency to know the answer.
Yvonne had never seen her brother so flustered in all her years. It turned out that even the mighty CEO of Skycrest Enterprise could be at a loss when he liked a woman.
"It's just you," Yvonne replied bluntly, knowing exactly what Sebastian was asking. "Clearly, you're pining away." Yvonne was loving this. Finally, she had a chance to throw the ultimate shade at her dear brother.
Sebastian's face immediately soured, looking like he was blaming Yvonne for being so direct. However, he was also contradictory-he didn't want Yvonne to lie, either.

"What's up? Are you feeling down? Yvonne sat beside him. Her chin was resting on her hand as she stared playfully at him.
"No wisecracks," Sebastian squashed her little scheme. "Our conversation today stays between us, or else." "Okay, I got it. I definitely can't tell your Rose, right?" Yvonne teased.
"What do you mean, 'my Rose'?" Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. She's not mine." "Oh, really? I thought you wished she was. Guess I misjudged. You're not that into her after all." Yvonne found it amusing to poke fun at the lofty man like this.
"Yvonne, you're just itching for trouble, aren't you?" Sebastian was both annoyed and exasperated by his sister's words.
Seems like he's been caught.
He stood up, pushing the chair aside. "Go get ssleep." With that, he picked up his tablet and started to leave..
Yvonne stepped in his way. "Seb, since when did you becsuch a coward? If you like her, just confess." "What do you know?" Sebastian's expression turned serious. "If I confess to her in her current state, don't you think she'll just run away from me?" Yvonne suddenly realized it. "Oh, looks like you understand that Rose doesn't like you, Seb. She just sees you as a friend." Sebastian felt a sudden pang in his heart. Yvonne's words were akin to a needle poking into his chest.

Though Yvonne was mischievous, she was also astute. Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen through Sebastian's feelings in an instant. Now she also saw that her brother was feeling uncomfortable because of her words.
Finally, someone could get a handle on the aloof Sebastian-it was great! "But then again, not liking now doesn't mean she won't like later. After all, she's getting a divorce. Seb, you've got plenty of chances," Yvonne teased. Her words left Sebastian feeling both flustered and relieved.
Sebastian's stormy expression gradually cleared.

Then, he asked in a low voice, "Do you really think so?" +25 BONUS Otherwise, she might easily notice your feelings. You better hide them. a bit, or you'll scare her off." Sebastian felt a bit uneasy. "Is it really that obvious?" "Seb, how about this? Next tyou face Rose, I'll secretly tak a picture. Then, you can see for yourself the look in your eyes." Just talking about it made Yvonne feel goosebumps.
Sebastian frowned, and said in a somewhat resigned manner, "I'll be more careful next time."
"At times like this, you need your little sister's help." Yvonne tugged lightly at his sleeve. "Even the Best general needs soldiers to help him. charge into battle. This little sister of yours will take on this important. task." Sebastian scoffed lightly. "Are you sure?" "Yeah! Don't you trust me?" "Trust you? Yeah, right! Go and sleep. Stay out of my business with Rose," Sebastian snapped.
Even if Yvonne accidentally messed things up, she was still his sister. He couldn't bring himself to retaliate against her.
Sebastian pulled away from Yvonne's arm, and left the dining room. After showering in his room, he still couldn't sleep.
He leaned against the headboard, continuing to browse through his tablet for suitable recipes. He m followed recipes step by step when cooking. He had a strong ability to learn, so even if he hadn't cooked something before, it wouldn't turn out too bad as long as he followed the steps and the measurements. Suddenly, his phone rang. He grabbed it without checking the caller ID, and answered, "Hello." "Bring Rose out. I'm taking her back cthe voice on the other en
Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. He immediately threw off the covers and went to the window. Outside, he saw a car parked by th gate, its lights flashing incessantly. A sense of foreboding washed over him.
