The Billionaire's Last Obsession series 96 Summary In this chapter, a soft, delicate voice interrupts the group, revealing Noreen, Sebastian's childhood friend, who questions the idea that the young girl with Sebastian could be his girlfriend. Noreen's eyes show admiration for Sebastian, but she refuses to accept that Lilian, the girl he's with, could hold that place. She has long waited and worked hard to be worthy of Sebastian, believing that her patience would eventually make her special to him. However, seeing Sebastian with Lilian holding his hand shakes her confidence.
Lilian, still wearing a mask, responds bluntly and with subtle mockery to Noreen's claim of childhood friendship, making it clear she prefers to be called by her name rather than as a sister or little sister. Sebastian gently cares for Lilian, offering her warm water to help her recover and later ordering her favorite dishes when she expresses hunger, showing a tender and protective side. Noreen's expression darkens as she realizes Sebastian's focus is entirely on Lilian, which deepens her feelings of rejection.
The men around them are stunned by the affectionate interaction, and one even asks Sebastian directly if Lilian is their future sister-in-law. Sebastian confirms seriously that Lilian is the woman he has chosen for life, leaving no room for doubt. This declaration shocks everyone, especially Noreen, who struggles to accept that her long-held hopes are dashed. Lilian playfully challenges Sebastian, reminding him she never agreed to marry him, to which he responds with a loving gesture, emphasizing that since the day she saved him, she has been the only one for him.
The chapter ends with the men awkwardly witnessing the sweet, shameless display of affection between Sebastian and Lilian, highlighting the emotional tension between Noreen's unrequited feelings and Sebastian's clear commitment to Lilian.
