81. ADDICTIVE
SEBASTIAN’s POV
When I felt her foot touch my shaft, the food I was swallowing suddenly blocked my throat, and I let out
a violent cough that caused the people around me to look at me with worried expressions on their
faces.
“Seb, are you alright?” Brylee asked as she quickly handed me a ss. of cold water. “What’s
happening to you?”
I wrestled the ss away from her grasp and drained the entire contents of it in one swift motion. When
I put the ss down on the table, I red at Celine, who was smiling innocently as if she had nothing
to do with what had just happened to me.
She gave a shrug of her shoulders before suddenly raising the ss up in the air and staring at me
closely. “I wish you Sebastian, and my sister, a lifetime of happiness!”
Everyone stopped from what they were doing and nced at her for a time. My lips were curved into
an indifferent arc as I stared at her intently for a moment before lifting my ss to clink it with her and
drinking swiftly from it.
The ser vant filled Celine’s empty ss, but this time around… Celine looked at her sister while she
raised her ss again. “Brylee… thank you for your kindness. I will make it up to you in some way…
“Celine, enough!” Brylee yelled and sn atched the ss away from her sister just as she was about to
drink from it again. “You can’t hold your liquor. Stop drinking!”
“Oh…” Celine gave her a sweet smile and a submissive nod, acting as if Brylee were her mother. In
point of fact, she was terrible at drinking.

When she had a few drinks, she would start babbling incoherently.” Don’t worry, this will be my very
last…
She took the ss back from Brylee’s hand and demanded the se rvant to fill her ss again, but I
signaled the maid to leave the dining room, and she bowed her head, before she quickly walked
away.
“You have to eat more…” my mom surprisingly said, directing at
Celine.
The disheartened Celine set her ss down before trying to give mom a grin that didn’t quite make it to
her eyes, and that’s when I realized that there was something bothering this girl. What’s her problem
again?
“Okay, thank you…” she turned to mom before she started eating. What a delectable dish you have
prepared! This one has such a delightful vor! I can’t believe how good your cook is!”
I smiled at how shemented about the food she was eating, and praised Mr. Lee.
“Mr. Lee is a very talented cook!” Cynthia remarked as she rolled her eyes. “So, I didn’t believe it when
dad said that you’re better than him. … It’s just bread, duh…”
Celine simply shrugged her shoulders in response, and then a
momentter, she rose from her seat, and made a modest bow as
she announced. “Excuse me… I’ll just go to the restroom…”
She pushed her chair back but before she could step away, Jake caught her wrist, who swiftly stood up
from his seat. “Do you want me to go with you?”
“No, thanks…” she smiled sweetly at him. “I can manage, Jake…”
Her departure seemed to have eased the atmosphere on the table.

“B asti…” mom called my name, drawing my attention away from Celine, who was leaving the dining
room at the moment. “Are you okay now?”
“Yeah…” I sighed. “You need not to worry about me…” I suddenly lost my appetite. So, I pushed my
te away and stood up from my seat with the intention of following Celine.
“Where are you going?” Brylee asked, holding my arm so tight, stopping me from moving.
“I’m going to make an important call…” I said lowly but there was a firm tone in my voice, causing
Brylee to look at me with concern in her eyes. “Don’t worry… I won’t take long…”
“Brylee, sweetheart… you really need to eat more of this…” mom said, putting some food on her te,
drawing her attention away from me, and I thanked mom silently even though it wasn’t her intention.
“You look so thin. You have to be very beautiful and se xy on your wedding day, yeah…?”
Brylee nodded but I could feel her gaze following me as I exited the
room.
CELINE’s POV
My hands were shaking so badly that I had to hold onto the sink to steady myself. I looked in the mirror
and saw that not only my face, but also my eyes were red. I chuckled, but the reflection in the mirror
disyed my true bitterness.
And then all of a sudden I heard the door open, followed by Sebastian walking
into the restroom, which caused my eyes to widen in shock.
“W-what are you doing here?” I inquired as I moved to take a step back, but he quickly trapped me
against the wall, which caused me to

think back to the event that urred this morning in the hallway. “Is this the iconic posture where
you’re pushing me against the wall?” I narrowed my eyes, and Sebastian only smiled at me before
pressing his body against mine in a more forceful manner.
“Do you know what you’re doing to me, Celine…?” he rasped, his voice husky and I smiled as I yanked
my hands away from his hold and wrapped them around his neck.
“I know what I’m doing, Seb…” I gave him a wicked grin and brought my lips slightly closer to his ear. “I
was trying to seduce you…
“Oh… Is that so?” he raised a brow. “But I remember you telling me that you wouldn’t ever like me,
yeah?”
Hearing his statement, I couldn’t help but burst outughing before I answered him with a dazzling
smile. “You’re so petty…” with that said, I took the initiative to kiss him on the lips.
Sebastian kissed me back hungrily… causing me to let out a small whimper as our mouths moulded
against each other, curling both of my hands up between our chests as we kissed. He tasted like mint
with a mix of red wine, and it was so addictive. N?velDrama.Org (C) content.
I parted my lips slightly… which allowed his tongue to ess into my mouth while simultaneously
allowing mine to slip into his. He pulled one hand from my waist and raised it up to my jaw, cradling my
face as he pulled me even closer to him… needing me as close as possible.
But then we heard a knock on the door, followed by Brylee’s voice calling my name. “Celine… are you
still there?” she asked, but it appeared as though Sebastian didn’t mind as he reached out to click the
lock of the door.
I smirked in victory, allowing myself to moan loudly, so that my dearest sister would hear me.
