52. MISUNDERSTOOD


    CELINE’s POV


    I slipped my shoes on after fixing my dress. Today, I am going to visit Jenny. I have to check whether


    she’s fine and awake and if it’s true that my father fulfilled his promise and paid all her medical


    expenses.


    My stitches were removed and the bruises faded enough to be hidden under make-up. There were only


    shadows, but you could only notice them if you looked closely.


    Sebastian left a while ago after handing me some clothes and make- ups. He knew I would need this. I


    was free to do what I wanted now, since he’s not here anymore. I slowly walked towards the door and


    opened it, walking out of the room, but as I turned around after pulling the door shut, I bumped into a


    couple.


    “Hey!” the girl’s eyes narrowed as she stared at me. “You’re… you’re Miss Brylee, aren’t you?”


    My eyes widened, and I was stunned for a moment. What would I tell them? “I… I’m…” a breath that


    was so warm suddenly blew in my ear.


    “Aren’t you going to rest, hmmm…?” I was startled, and I flinched when Sebastian wrapped his arm


    around my waist.


    “You… I thought you were gone…” my voice trembled and I bit my lip. His eyes travelled from my eyes


    down to my lips and he smiled.


    “Sebastian? Sebastian Anderson?!” the girlfriend of the guy suddenly screamed. And it attracted the


    people around us.


    “That’s right! It’s Sebastian Anderson and his fiancée!” Of course they were a famous couple on the


    inte, so I wasn’t surprised if they were aware of Sebastian and my sister’s rtionship. Some

    the crowd immediately began to take photos of us using their mobile phones, and I instinctively covered


    my face with my hands.


    Fiancee? But I’m not Brylee…


    However, there were more and more people gathering around us, which caused me to be scared


    “Mr. Anderson, I’m a reporter from Star Media Company…” a man suddenly approached us with a


    recorder in his hand to catch a scoop. “Why are you and your fiancée here in the hospital? Is she


    pregnant?”


    I was so shocked by his question that I put my hands down from covering my face.


    Sebastian was calm and expressionless as he stared into the faces of those entertainment reporters’


    gossip-hungry faces.


    “Miss Brylee, what’s wrong with you?” Noticing that Sebastian had no n for answering him, he


    turned the recorder to me. “Is it true that you’re pregnant? Are you expecting a baby Sebastian or a


    baby Brylee?


    Oh my G od! What would I say? I turned to Sebastian for help, but he wasn’t looking at me.


    “I… I’m not…” before I could finish my sentence, I paused.


    I couldn’t admit it. Otherwise, everyone would seize the opportunity to find out why I was with


    Sebastian. Then I would be even more notorious the next day.


    Of course, my reputation wouldn’t be any better.


    “Miss Brylee…” the reporter called me by my sister’s name once again.


    “I think… everyone of you misunderstood why we’re here in the hospital…” I started. “We went on a


    vacation in Oceania City for two days. I wasn’t used to the climate and the food there. So, when I

    came back, I had a stomach ache, that’s why I’m here in the hospital…’


    “Oh… is that so?” the reporter raised a brow. “May I ask if you and Mr. Anderson already set a date for


    your marriage?”


    I don’t know…


    But I knew I couldn’t say that. I tilted my head to Sebastian, and he seemed not be interested in


    answering any of the reporter’s questions. “Sebastian will decide about when our wedding will be held.


    And if we have talked about it, we will tell you as soon as possible…”


    I was aware that this report would soon be in the headlines, so I had to be cautious in order not to give


    Julio Lauren any reason to take back his words.


    “When do you want to get married? Sebastian suddenly asked and I froze, narrowing my eyes at him,


    but he just smiled at me.


    “So you mean to say, if Miss Brylee tells you to get married tomorrow, you will do it?” The reporter’s


    mouth gaped open in shock and in


    excitement.


    “Hmmm… what do you think?” Sebastian’s h oa rse voice was filled with a kind of seduction that could


    pierce a woman’s heart.


    A lowugh spilled out from his lips, and the women around us giggled andughed in excitement.


    But I wasn’t one of them. I couldn’t justugh it off. What was his n? What was he trying to do to


    me?


    “What can you say about this, baby?” he smiled and leaned over as he whispered in my ear. “You


    started this game… Now, you end it!”


    No one heard what Sebastian whispered to me, but I could see the look in the eyes of the crowd that


    they thought he was whispering

    sweet words into my ear.


    “I want to take a rest. I’m tired…” I whispered back in his ear and he stared at me before he nodded.


    “I’m sorry but my fiancée is going to take a rest now. We’ll answer your questions some other time…”


    Sebastian announced, and we heard murmurs and whispers from the crowd.


    With a smile on his face, he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and was ready to go back to the


    room I was upying when we heard a familiar voice called out Sebastian’s name.


    “Seb…” I was stunned, as well as the crowd around us as they turned their heads to see Brylee.


    “Celine!” someone shouted in shock, and Brylee’s eyes widened as she looked at us, her hands


    clenched into fists. “Yeah, that’s Celine! The ungrateful child and sister!”
