Kneeling for a Second Chance Novel

---- Chapter 331 It was as if Wendy had heard something earth-shattering. "You mean she..." Wendy's gaze suddenly shifted to Valeria's hands. She caught a glimpse of the certificates, and her brows twitched violently . Her whole body seemed to tremble with shock as she asked in a shrill voice, "You two got married ?" "Wendy, do you have anything to say about that?" Sebastian's expression remained icy as he spoke. His tone carried a hint of warning. "How could you marry her?" Wendy's finger shook as she pointed at Valeria.

"Sebastian, that woman must have deceived you!" If Valeria married Sebastian, that would mean they were now... However, Wendy couldn't mention what their connection was out loud. Before she could go further, Alexander lowered his voice and rebuked her, "Zip it, Wendy." Of course, he could see how protective Sebastian was of Valeria. Alexander himself was puzzled. Tonight , he and Wendy had been accompanying Gabriella to a concert when word reached them that Sebastian would be bringing his girlfriend home for dinner.

How could he, as the elder brother, not rush back for such a momentous occasion? ---- He had suggested that Wendy stay with Gabriella, but she had insisted on coming alone. After all, Sebastian bringing home a partner was a family event of the highest order. However, the moment they arrived, Wendy lost her composure at the sight of Valeria. "Alexander, something must have shaken Wendy really badly. Why don't you both go upstairs and rest?

The staff can bring dinner up to you." Sebastian slid an arm around Valeria's shoulders, taking the marriage certificates from her hand and slipping them into his pocket. His cool, detached gaze flicked to Gabriella, who had remained silent. "You should go upstairs as well. Keep your mother company." Alexander frowned, clearly displeased with the arrangement. However , when he saw the hard glint in Sebastian's eyes, he nodded. "Gabriella, help your mother upstairs to rest." "Dad..." Gabriella was a little unhappy. She had hurried back precisely to see who this aunt of hers was.

What sort of woman had captured Sebastian's eye? Gabriella scanned Valeria from head to toe. Sure, Valeria was pretty, but their social circles were never short on beauties . What did Sebastian even see in her? They even... Gabriella was the apple of the Grant family's eye, yet she wasn't even allowed a seat at the dinner table. She felt that ---- Sebastian was being too unfair. She had always been adored by her fans and pampered at home, especially by Wendy, who doted on her. Never having had to endure such humiliation, Gabriella's resentment turned squarely toward Valeria.

She didn't dare to openly defy Sebastian, so she was forced to lead Wendy inside bythe arm. Alexander glanced once at Valeria and Sebastian. His first impression of her had been favorable, so he flashed her an apologetic smile before he walked inside. Valeria pursed her lips. The memories of high school surged up, causing her to pale. With a soft, trembling voice, she whispered, "Did you believe me back then, Sebastian?" "Tdid." Sebastian didn't hesitate at all. His raspy voice was firm and resolute against her ear.
