Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below Chapter 198: A Man's Care Lillian lifted her eyes toward Sebastian, her face the picture of innocence. "Mr. Whitmore, did I really say something wrong?" she asked softly, her voice laced with a hint of mischief. Sebastian caught the subtle sparkle in her gaze-the familiar glint that told him this little fox was up to her clever tricks once again. He couldn't help but smile, a mixture of amusement and affection softening his features. Gently, he ran his fingers through her hair and said, "Whatever you say is right.
Even if it's wrong, it's still right in my eyes." The girl's eyes gleamed knowingly as she turned to Hans with a triumphant look. "See? Mr. Whitmore says I wasn't wrong. That means I was right all along." Hans clenched his jaw, biting his lip in frustration. His glare was sharp, filled with a deep-seated resentment. Why was it that every time this troublesome girl appeared, his carefully laid plans crumbled like sand slipping through his fingers? At that moment, Chloe stepped forward, her smile polite yet firm.
"Miss, my cousin has been part of the entertainment world for many years, and it's our family's support that has helped her get where she is today." She paused, her tone measured and confident. "After all, the Sinclair Group is one of Kingston's oldest and most respected enterprises. Not just anyone can reach such heights. If my cousin said anything earlier that seemed out of line, I hope you won't take it personally." Chloe then extended a hand, pulling a sleek business card from her bag with a graceful flourish. "Think of this as an introduction.

In Kingston, we're bound to cross paths often. My father is Henry Sinclair, head of Sinclair Group. If you ever need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to me." Lillian's gaze swept over Chloe from head to toe, taking in her polished demeanor and poised confidence. She had to admit, the woman was impressive. No wonder, in her previous life, she had been outmaneuvered by someone like her-so young, yet already so cunning. With time, her schemes would only become more intricate and refined. "Sinclair Group...
Henry?" Lillian's lips curled into a dazzling, icy smile as she spoke, her tone deceptively innocent. "Isn't he the man who kept a mistress on the side and drove his own wife to despair, even death?" Sebastian's body stiffened, a flicker of shock crossing his face. In that instant, he became certain that this little girl must have some link to the Sinclair family. He made a mental note to look into it further. Chloe's complexion instantly paled, and she took a hesitant step backward. "Y-you...
what nonsense are you talking about?" Lillian's expression softened, as if she were letting the matter drop. "Oh? Maybe I remembered wrong. Forget I said anything." She then turned to Sebastian, her voice gentle but weary. "Mr. Whitmore, I'm tired. Let's go back." Sebastian nodded quietly, his eyes filled with a tenderness that only she could evoke. "Go change out of the dress first. I'll wait here." Hearing her admit she was tired felt like a sharp pang in his chest. What hidden burdens was she carrying inside?
Lillian disappeared into the fitting room, leaving Sebastian to hand his card to the sales staff to settle the bill. The moment the staff caught sight of the card, their faces froze in astonishment. It was one of the exclusive Decade Plaza cards, recognized nationwide for unlimited purchases-a status symbol few could claim. When Lillian stepped out, Sebastian took the shopping bag from her, laced his fingers gently through hers, and led her out of the boutique. Outside, Chloe and Hans watched them leave, their expressions sour and tight with frustration.
Once on the street, Sebastian paused at a nearby sports store. He picked out a casual outfit to match Lillian's style-white T-shirt, light denim jeans, and a pair of sneakers. It was the first time Lillian saw him dressed so casually, like a carefree young man rather than the imposing businessman she usually knew. Then, with a playful grin, he grabbed two matching baseball caps-one for himself and one for her. After they changed, he whisked her off to an arcade nearby. They exchanged cash for tokens, and Sebastian flashed her a mischievous smile. "Come on.
Today, I'm going to show you how your brother plays." His words made her laugh out loud, the sound bright and genuine. Watching her smile blossom like a delicate lotus flower, Sebastian finally felt his own tension ease. Earlier in the store, he had sensed the turmoil beneath her forced smiles. But now, her happiness was real, filling his heart with warmth. Together, they raced through the arcade, challenging each other at every game they could find. By the time they left, night had fallen, and the city's lights sparkled all around them like stars brought down to earth.
Lillian looked up at him, her eyes shining with pure joy. "Mr. Whitmore, thank you. Today was truly wonderful." She understood perfectly what he had done-setting aside his powerful identity just to spend a day making her smile. How could she not be moved by such care? Sebastian's gaze softened with affection as he pulled her close, his hand gently caressing her hair. "As long as you're happy, everything else is worth it." Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist, and as she listened to the steady beat of his heart, she whispered, "Mr. Whitmore, as long as you're here, I'm not afraid.
Please... don't ever leave me." His voice dropped low, husky with emotion. "Never. I'll always be right behind you. No matter where you go, I'll walk beside you forever." Conclusion The chapter closes on a tender note, highlighting the deepening bond between Lillian and Sebastian amidst the undercurrents of tension surrounding them. Their playful moments at the arcade and the genuine smiles they share reveal a softer, more vulnerable side to their relationship, contrasting with the external pressures and rivalries they face.

Sebastian's unwavering devotion and Lillian's heartfelt plea emphasize the mutual trust and comfort they have built, serving as a quiet promise of steadfast support. As night falls and the city lights shimmer around them, their closeness becomes a beacon of hope, suggesting that together they can confront whatever challenges lie ahead.
