Tame Me My Brother -in-Law

107. I'M MARRIED CELINE'S POV “Are you even aware of how many times your husband was invited to give a speech at your University, and yet | refused?” Sebastian asked.

I didn’t move an inch and instead kept staring at his dashing face.

He then heaved a sigh as he straightened his back and moved away from me.

“Okay, that’s enough... Under these circumstances, you are not permitted to read books for an extended period of time. Take a break and relax first. I'll just go for a little dip in the pool, and when I'm finished, I'll tell you something about the market, all right?” He pickedup from where | was sitting on the couch and carefully setdown on the bed.

“Wait for me...” he said as he exited the room while carrying a towel and a shirt. “I'll be right back...” As soon as the door had been shut, | stepped barefoot onto the carpeted floor and then exited through the door leading to the balcony.

Sebastian has, for sreason, seemed to be particularly domineering towardsthroughout the course of the past two days.

The window in the room might be opened for a short period of tat the noon hour, but other than that, it had to be shut at all other times.

It was due to the fact that he insisted that the chilly breeze would not be beneficial for my health. However, | don’t need his concern in any way.

1/4 Regarding that particular matter, | don’t need anyone's wolly at ally time.

| had just gotten comfortable on the sofa out on the balcony, where | intended to remain for a while, when all of a sudden | heard someone crying in a mewling, cat-like manner.

That voice... sounded like | had been heard before. | gradually sat up and moved closer to the area where the sound was coming from.

It sounded like it was coming from Cynthia's room, so | carefully pulled back the curtains to investigate. When | did, | found Cynthia sitting on the balcony of her room and sobbing uncontrollably.

The fact that this was the very first t| had ever witnessed her crying in such a manner causedto be a little taken aback.

However, | didn’t want to disturb her. | could tell that Cynthia was trying to hold back her s obs since she didn’t want anyone to know that she was in such a precarious state from the way that she was crying.

Everyone has their own unique account to tell.

As a result, | went back to bed after drawing the wool curtains, as well as closing the sliding door to the balcony.

And just as | was about to drift off to dreamland, | was awakened by the buzzing of my phone, which was sitting on the nightstand.

When | checked my phone to see who had texted me, | was surprised to find an unknown number that appeared to be one that | had seen before.

“Hi... How have you been? I'm back...” As | read the message over and over again, my pupils dilated, and | felt a trembling in my hands. “I've been told that you're currently residing in New York. | want to meet you, Celine...” As | scrolled through the string of messages, | couldn’t help but clench my teeth. The entirety of my body was trembling, and | had no idea what to say in response.

After what seemed like an eternity, | finally put down my phone, feeling a little fra zzled.

But then my phone started to ring, and | was too nervous to check it, but | did anyway. | sighed in relief when | saw Jenny calling.

“Hey, Jenny...” “Celine, he’s back!” Jenny exclaimed, a hint of astonishment audible in her tone of voice. “Has he already gotten in touch with you? | was told that he arrived safely at his destination this afternoon...” | didn’t speak. | was feeling a little confused as | held the phone in my hand at the stime.

“Celine...?"” “He...” | stuttered out. “He just messaged me, tellingthat he wants to meet up with me...” “Really?!” | could almost see her eyes widen in excitement. “So... are you going to go through with meeting him?” “Meet him?” “Yeah... you should see him. You've been looking forward to seeing him for all of these years, but now that he’s actually arrived, don’t you want to catch up with him?” | could tell by Jenny’s voice that she was quite excited.

| don’t believe it was appropriate for us to meet at this time. I'm already...

“Celine, are you listening?” Hearing her words joltedout of my musings and broughtback to the present.

“Jenny, you know that | can’t...” | whispered. “I...I'm already... married..." These words, for the very first time, madefeel incredibly down and unhappy.

“Celine, your marriage with Sebastian Anderson is fake...” As soon as Jenny recognized the unease in my voice, she immediately offeredsolace. “If you tell him the truth, I'm sure he’ll understand... I'm very certain that he will—" | laughed out bitterly. “No man in their right mind would ever accept a woman who had been married to another man. And one more thing... | just had a miscarriage...” When she didn’t respond, | sighed and decided to end the conversation with her.

“I'm feeling a little sleepy, Jenny...” It was a mumble and she sighed. Lettake a rest first...” “Okay...” | heard Jenny open a door from the background. “I'll just ca you sother time. Please try not to dwell on it too much, okay Rest well...” After then, she terminated the call.

As | recalled Sean, who had been my neighbor on the island ever since | was five years old, | pressed my phone even closer to my chest and sat on the bed in a state of bewilderment.
