There was still no sound from the room, so Sebastian wasn’t sure if Natalie heard him or not.

“Natalie, I know you are awake.Please open the door.Please,” he said in a pleading voice.

Never had he begged anyone like this before.

For Natalie, he was ready to set aside his pride and beg profusely.

Sebastian knocked and begged a few more times, but he got no response.He leaned against the door helplessly.His figure cast a shadow over the living room.

By midnight, Natalie still didn’t say a word, nor did she open the door.

Sebastian knew better than to leave this time.

The matter would only escalate if he did, so he just lay on the sofa all night.

Time passed by quickly.

Soon, the bright sunlight peeped through the curtains and reflected in the living room.

Sebastian hadn’t slept a wink throughout the night.His mind had been teeming with several thoughts.He stood up from the sofa and stretched.

Afterward, he put on an apron and prepared breakfast.He hesitated for a while, but he mustered the courage to knock on Natalie’s bedroom door again.
