Chapter 30: The Junior

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sophia did not understand. The first time she met Sebastian by the pool, he seemed quite friendly. Even though she had teased him, he wasn’t angry and even thanked her.

The second time they met in the corridor, although he didn’t seem to be in the best of moods, he still handed her a handkerchief gently.

Wat’s with the attitude change?

He was nitpicking, even on things as trivial as how she addressed him.

Sophia cursed in her heart but smiled in a good-natured manner. “You can’t say that it’s not true. As a junior, it’s not much different compared to being your sister.”

Sebastian didn’t say anything else, as if he accepted her explanation.

Sophia had originally planned to return to the dormitory after delivering the handkerchief. Seeing that Sebastian didn’t like her very much, she said goodbye. “I’ll go now. Enjoy your meals.”

Sebastian opened the car door and said in a calm and commanding tone, “Let’s eat together.”

Sophia let out an “Ah” in a daze.

Sebastian looked at her with his face still as cold as ever.

She was now a little intimidated by his expression.

No matter how she looked at it, it didn’t seem to her that he genuinely wanted her to come along.

Was it purely out of courtesy?

Or was he waiting for her to reject him?

After all, he looked very impatient.

After thinking for a while, Sophia smiled and said, “I’m not hungry…”

Sebastian frowned and pursed his lips. He glanced at Anita, who was about to say something.

Anita knew that her brother’s expression was of real displeasure. With that glare shot at her, she stopped replying.

She decided to keep mum since she was an obedient girl.

Sebastian interrupted Sophia and said, “This is how you thank me? You’re not even willing to have dinner with me?”

So it was a real invitation!

Then why was he acting all cold?

Sophia felt wronged. She was guessing, trying to get on his good side, but he was still annoyed?

It was difficult to talk to the man.

Seeing Sophia’s aggrieved look, Sebastian lowered his voice. “Get in the car.”

But they still sounded unreasonable.

Anita quickly got into the car.

Sophia did not hesitate too long under Sebastian’s gaze and followed suit.

The interior of the Lexus was very spacious, compatible with its low-profile and elegant appearance. It was luxurious, bright, and most of all, extremely comfortable.

When the doors closed, all external noise was blocked out.

Sophia sat in the back seat. She felt comfortable and started to doze off.

The interior of the car was very clean, and there was a faint smell of cedar. The seats were capable of heating and massaging, which made her body feel relaxed.

Anita felt that her brother must have scared Sophia, so she explained in a low voice, “He usually talks to everyone like this, don’t mind him.”

Sophia nodded and snuck a look at the man who opened the car door and sat in the driver’s seat.

Sebastian glanced at the rearview mirror and saw her sneakily glancing at him. He couldn’t help but smile.

“Put on your seatbelt.”

The voice was still very cold. It sounded like an order.

Sophia and Anita immediately put on their seatbelts.

The car began to move. The excellent sound insulation of the Lexus prevented any sound from coming in. The car was quiet and a little dull.

Anita took the initiative to ask, “Seb, where are we going?”

Sebastian had made an appointment for dinner before he came.

He glanced at Sophia and asked, “Where do you want to go?”

Anita also asked Sophia, “Do you have anything in particular that you want to eat?”

Sophia wanted to say that she was not hungry and did not want to eat anything.

But if she said that, it would be too disrespectful, as if the siblings were forcing her to come over and eat with them.

But it seemed that she was forced to get on the bus.

Sophia said with mixed feelings, “I don’t have anything in particular that I want to eat. I’m okay with whatever you want.”

Anita replied, “Well, I’d like some cake.”

Sebastian nodded.

Seated in the rear, the girls chatted in hushed voices.

“See, my brother is easy to talk to, right?”

Sebastian was focused on driving and didn’t have any reaction.

Anita continued, “He has that intimidating look, but that’s just what’s on the surface.”

Sophia used her eyes to indicate that she understood.

No matter how big the car was, there was limited space inside. It was impossible that Sebastian could not hear their conversation.

She tried her best not to make a sound.

Anita did not have too many concerns and continued, “When my eldest brother Joseph first took over the family business, he was even scarier than him. However, over the past few years, he has become much more stable and less domineering. He even found a girlfriend.”

Sebastian sneered. “Anita, are you projecting onto me?”

Anita immediately retorted in a low voice, “I’m not.”

Although Anita knew Sebastian’s bad temper and knew that he would not do anything to her, she could not help but admit defeat every time she heard the domineering tone in his voice.

She quickly changed the topic and said, “Sophia, you’re pregnant now. You have to watch what you put into your mouth.. Cut down on the desserts, alright?”
