Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 117

Cecilia

Friday passed with unexpected tranquility.

l even found time to treat myself to a small cake and afternoon tea-luxuries that had become rare in my busy schedule.

Alpha Sebastian didn’t come to the office in the morning, only appearing with Beta Sawyer around one o’clock.

He stayed in his office the entire afternoon, never once calling for me.

It was arguably the most peaceful day I’d had all week.

Of course, I thought cynically, he was probably saving his energy for his date tomorrow.

After work, drove past a pharmacy and remembered I still needed to replace Tang’s medicine.

I picked up a few items, then headed home for dinner.

Later, I called to make sure Liam was home before heading up to Sebastian’s apartment.

“Liam, these are for you,” I said, holding out the small bag.

“For me?” Confusion crossed his face as he accepted it.

His expression grew even more perplexed when he looked inside.

Tang gave me some of your medicine the other night,” I explained. “I wanted to replace what I used, just in case you needed them.”

“Tang?” Liam’s confusion deepened, but then something seemed to click.

He laughed, tapping his forehead. “Oh, right, right! | did ask Tang to buy those. My goodness, I’m getting forgetful in my old age.”

“You should take care of yourself, Liam,” I said gently.

“When you get older, little health issues are inevitable,” he replied with a shrug.

Remembering that entire box of medication, I thought to myself: those don’t seem like

“little” issues.

Looking after the young Alpha must truly be exhausting work.

As we stood chatting in the living room, Alpha Sebastian emerged from the inner rooms.

He wore a loose-fitting camel-colored loungewear set that softened his usually intimidating presence.

Perched on his straight nose were a pair of reading glasses, and in his hand was a book.He looked every inch the handsome, well-bred gentleman, his usual powerful aura transformed into something more approachable yet still elegantly distant.

I quickly greeted him. “Alpha.”

Alpha Sebastian seemed to notice me only then.

His eyes flickered to me briefly, then to the bag in Liam’s hands.

He gave me a.slight nod of acknowledgment before continuing to the living area, where he sat down and opened his book.

I wondered silently: Did he come out here to read because the lighting was better?

I turned back to Liam. “I have soup simmering downstairs. Please keep the medicine,! should get going.”

I turned to leave.

Just as I was halfway through my pivot, a soft, casual voice floated toward me: “L heard your stomach was bothering you.”

The comment was delivered so casually, as if merely making conversation.

I rotated my foot back to face him. “Just a couple of days ago.”

Alpha Sebastian lifted his gaze from his book. “Feeling better now?”

“Much better, thank you for your concern, Alpha.”

“Rest well this weekend,” he said, his eyes unreadable behind those glasses.

I will. I hope you have a pleasant weekend as well. made my excuses and left quickly.

The next morning, Harper and I were on the road by seven.

For our safety, Harper had enlisted her younger brother Levan, who was on summer break from his sports academy, to accompany us.

gave Levan a skeptical look as I sized him up-tall and strong, but with boyish features that still held a touch of innocence.

1 shot Harper a pointed glance: Don’t we look like two wealthy cougars with our young eye candy?

“Safety first,” Harper insisted, clearly reading my unspoken criticism.

Thinking about it, I had to admit she had a point.

We were headed to remote areas and rural locations. Two women alone might not be the safest scenario.

And despite his youth, Levan’s athletic build did provide a sense of security.

“Fine,” | conceded, handing him the car keys with a warm smile. “Levan, when we get back, I’ll buy you a gift-whatever you want.”

His handsome young face flushed slightly. “It’s no trouble at all,Cecilia.”
