Chapter 8
Erika was brought into the princess room.
"Please take a break here in your room, little lady Joanna, I’ll bring the dinner to you a while later," the servant said.
Erika didn’t realize her stomach was rumbling until the word "dinner" was mentioned. She put her chubby hand on her stomach, her eyes gleaming. "What are we going to have for dinner?"
"It’s your favorite cheesesteak with fried asparagus," replied the servant.
Erika curled her lips in disdain. Was that her favorite dish?
What a poor girl this "little lady Joanna" was!
If Erika met this "little lady Joanna" someday, she would help her expand her horizons by taking this "little lady Joanna" to eat all kinds of delicious food in Weskiney!
Thinking so, Erika asked the servant to leave, while she jumped off the bed and walked around in the room.
Since she couldn’t go to hospital with that evil woman, Erika could only think of another way to get away. Therefore, she decided to call her two brothers first to ask for help.
However, she failed to find a phone after looking around. But the next moment, something popped into her mind. Sebastian!
That handsome man seemed like a big boss, so he must have a phone, right?
Erika looked around, found a bottle of children’s milk in the room and poured it into a glass. It smelt so good, and she couldn’t help taking a sip before she went to the study with it.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was having a video conference in the study.
He had changed into gray lounge wear, but he still looked so handsome and stern as before. There was a cigarette between his fingers, whose white smoke went straight up in the air in the dim study.
The moment Erika poked her head into the room, she started coughing so violently that her fair face turned red.
Hearing the cough, Sebastian put out the cigarette in his hand and looked at the little face with a frown. "What are you doing here?"
"I’ve brought something to drink for you, hands… handsome daddy!" Erika raised the glass in her hands and said sweetly, "But are you in the middle of something? Shall I come back later?"
"No," Sebastian hung up and compressed his lips. "Give it to me now."
Erika trotted up to Sebastian and passed the milk to him. Then she ran over to the window, drew back the curtains and opened the window. The strong smell of smoke dissipated as the light entered the room.
"Smoke less, handsome daddy!" Erika gave a warm smile. "It’s bad for your health. Also, it’s good the keep the study light and airy. A dim study will have a negative effect on your career."
She paused and finally added, "And your love life."
"Well, I have no love life," Sebastian snorted. He didn’t take what Erika said seriously.
"Didn’t you marry that woman outside? Don’t you love each other?" Erika blinked her eyes in astonishment. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
The next moment, Sebastian’s eyes darkened. "Who told you all this, your mom?"
Erika shrugged, saying nothing.
Sulking, Sebastian stared at Erika with his dark eyes.
Sebastian had given Bella everything, except for marriage and love. He was even living with her in the same house, or, he might have a love life when that woman woke up…
Erika tilted her head, her eyes gleaming with sophistication and calmness, which were rarely seen on a kid of her age. "I read it from your face. That’s all." She offered her hands to Sebastian as she spoke. "If you want to know more details, lend your phone to me, and then I’ll tell you."
Sebastian stared at her chubby hands and stayed silent for a while.
It turned out this little girl wanted to play with his phone, so she had made up so many lies to fool him. And he actually believed what she said. For a moment, he even thought of that woman, because he assumed Erika was talking about the love life between him and her…
