The Ice-Cold Executive Gets A Wife Novel - Chapter 56

On the other side, Trisha was coaxing a jealous Joseph.

Her way of coaxing was kissing.

Sophia gaped, her face burning.

She remembered the first time she saw Sebastian at the pool when she had a nosebleed and had been teased by him.

He had said, “Am I that hot?”

She felt exactly the same embarrassment she had felt then.

She only wanted to tell him how he could relieve the pain in his back.

After thinking for a while, she pretended not to hear what Sebastian said and said seriously, “You can put an ice pack on it when you go back and heat it tomorrow. It will heal faster.”

Sebastian nodded and didn’t say anything else.

After they finished shopping at the maternity store, Trisha asked Sophia and Olivia, “Where are you going next?”

Olivia said, “Home. We came here to see if Sophia could use anything from the maternity store. It’s time to go home.”

“How do you plan to go back?”

“We’ll take a taxi.” They came by taxi anyway.

Joseph put his arm around Trisha and suggested, “Get Sebastian to drive you home. We can go to a movie and have some alone time.”

This kind of reason was tough to reject. Sebastian didn’t want to go with Joseph in the first place. After all, his brother and sister-in-law displayed too much affection publicly. It was a little unbearable.

Sophia said, “Isn’t it a little too troublesome? Moreover, Sebastian’s injury…”

Sebastian interrupted her, “It won’t affect the driving, and it won’t be too troublesome.”

Sophia didn’t insist. “Well, thank you in advance, bro.”

She was calling Sebastian “bro” now, and it was very smooth and casual.

Sebastian thought of the time when he sent Sophia to the hospital, before they had an argument over the child, he had allowed the weak Sophia to ask him questions. Sophia was curious why he didn’t like to be called ‘bro’, so she called him ‘bro’ a few times.

The sound of her saying ‘bro’ overlapped with her voice in his dreams, making him unable to control his desire.

This confident and energetic girl was too tempting for him.

Even when he knew that this girl was carrying another man’s child. Carrying another man’s baby and planning on giving birth to it too.

Sebastian knew that he should restrain himself.

He should treat her as just another junior. This was good enough.

After asking Sophia and Olivia’s home address, Sebastian started to drive silently.

Olivia thought for a long time and could not resist her curiosity. She asked, “Sophia, why do you address Sebastian as ‘bro’? Is he also from Rotary University?”

Sophia nodded.

“If that’s the case.” Olivia rolled her eyes. “So, I should I call him ‘bro’, too?”

She had only met Sebastian twice, including this time. She had shamelessly called him ‘bro’ at

Anita’s home. After being ostracized by him, she mirrored Anita and addressed him as ‘Sebastian’. However, she was not very close to Anita, so it was it’s best for her to just address him as ‘bro’ like Sophia did.

Sebastian did not have anything against or for whichever form of address. So, he said indifferently, “Whatever.”

Olivia immediately changed her for of address. “Bro, have you graduated already?”

Sebastian looked very young. If one only looked at his face, he was actually not much older than them.

But he was too formidable, and it was obvious that he wasn’t the kind to stay in school.

She knew the answer to Olivia’s question, but she always needed some appetizers before she asked the question she wanted to ask the most.

After getting an affirmative answer from Sebastian, she asked, “Did you study finance, too, like Sophia?”

Sophia didn’t know what Olivia wanted to ask. Still, she seemed to be able to answer all the questions she asked, so she answered on Sebastian’s behalf, “He is studying finance, and he is one of the top students at our university. My lecturers often mention him.”

Olivia nodded in understanding and finally began to ask the question she was most concerned about, “So after graduation, did you start your own business or…”

“Started my own business.” Sebastian could roughly guess what Olivia wanted to ask.

“Is it also a finance company?”

Sebastian looked at Sophia in the rearview mirror and seemed to come to a realization. He smiled and said, “Yes.”

Olivia interrogated him relentlessly. “Which company? Sophia told me that Wall Street’s NRTE is the best company in the financial world. I didn’t think it was a good idea to go there for an internship. NRTE’s performance was so good, so there must be many things the employees stress about. She’s pregnant. What if she’s exhausted by the work she does there?”

Sophia wanted Olivia to stop talking, but Olivia didn’t seem to get the sign. Sebastian, the president of NRTE, agreed, “Wall Street is really hard work.”
