Natalie’s heart sank; she felt like an outcast all over again.She wasn’t in the mood to get intimate with someone who wasn’t even willing to reveal his true self to her.

“Well, it’s getting late. I’m gaing to sleep,” she mumbled, with her back to him.

Although Natalie said so, she was wide awake. The countless thoughts swarming in her mind disturbed her peace. She pursed her lips and stole a glance at him. She secretly hoped that Sebastian would tell her more. However, he didn’t utter a word. She only heard him sigh and lie beside her.

Natalie’s racing heart calmed down and sank to her stomach as she listened to the ticking of the clock. Just then, Sebastian moved behind her. His chest pressed against her back as he hugged her from behind.

Sebastian rested his chin on Natalie’s shoulder and looked at her pink earlobe.A strange silence prevailed in the room.The dim yellow light from the table lamp enveloped them.

“You want to know more about my past?” Natalie heard his voice rumbling against her back as he trailed his fingers across her arm, drawing patterns on her silky nightgown.

“Don’t force yourself if you don’t want to talk about it,” Natalie mumbled.

She wanted him to open up everything to her, but only if he wanted to.It wouldn’t make sense if she forced him to do it.

“I have never been in a relationship with her as you think.” Sebastian stared at the closed blinds as he recalled the past.

Charis was in the same class as Sebastian and Garrett in high school.

Back then, only the three of them belonged to influential farnilies. The three shared the same hobbies and naturally became friends.

When Sebastian was determined to start a business, Charis let go of the opportunity to take over the Turner family’s business and established the Larson Group with him.

Considering the Turner family and Klein family were associated with one another, Charis knew a bit about Sebastian’s family.She was also aware of his dual identity as Brandon Larson and Sebastian Klein.

Their friendship grew stronger as they went through all the hardships and hurdles together.
