Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 88

Cecilia

The moment I heard Remy mention a late-night snack, my internal alarm bells started

ringing.

I caught the silent signals he exchanged with one of his companions, and my suspicions immediately grew.

There was no way I was letting Alpha Sebastian get involved in whatever scheme they had in mind.

I walked over to him with measured, deliberate steps-trying my best to appear calm and collected even though tension was coiling in my chest.

When I reached his side, I said loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, “Alpha Sebastian, your nutritionist strictly forbids any eating after 9:30. I think we should skip this late supper.”

His deep eyes softened as they met mine.

“Listen to you.” he replied warmly, and I felt my heart flutter.

Almost immediately, Remy’s face darkened. “You sure have a lot of authority over our Alpha Sebastian, Cecilia,” he snapped.

I flashed him the professional smile I’d perfected over the years. “I wouldn’t dream of overstepping, Mr. Remy. But Luna Regina herself asked me to monitor his diet. That nutritionist is insanely strict-daily records, no exceptions. I’m just doing my job, no matter how tough it gets.”

Remy’s sneer returned. “So you’re using Luna Regina to pressure me?”

I kept my tone cool. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

“If Luna Regina approves, then tonight’s meal should be fine, right?”

He even pulled out his phone as if he were going to call her. “Maybe I should check with her directly?”

I knew he was bluffing-he thought I was making excuses.

Deep down, I wondered what kind of guy calls his mother late at night for permission to take his son out for drinks…

Luna Regina would probably show up herself and tear him apart.

That’s exactly why I mentioned his mother instead of his father. Alphas may worry about appearances and business, but when a Luna is protecting her child, she won’t hesitate to destroy anyone getting in her way.

After a long, uncomfortable silence, Remy cleared his throat. “Alright, it’s just a midnight snack-no big deal. No need to wake Luna Regina. How about we just sit for a bi? Don’t deny an old friend even a small courtesy.”

Alpha Sebastian then turned his gaze to me, eyes dancing with amusement. “Would that work for you?”

His tone, his choice of words, his expression…

He was laying it on way too thick!

[Too much! You’re going too far!] wanted to scream.

[We’ll never clear our names if you keep talking like that!]

Remy looked ready to explode with frustration.

“Fine,” he growled, barely containing his anger. “Let’s just sit without eating. I’ve compromised enough, Cecilia. Keep pushing, and I swear I’ll lose my temper.”

At that point, the tension had escalated so much that I decided not to press further on Alpha Sebastian’s behalf.

After all, the resort was a joint investment between their companies.

1 glanced at Alpha Sebastian, silently asking for guidance.

“Uncle Remy looks ready to cry,” he said cheerfully, as if trying to diffuse the situation.

“Let’s humor him and just sit for a while.” just nodded reluctantly. “As you wish.”

Stepping back, I couldn’t help but notice how unusually cheerful Alpha Sebastian was.

Was he really not worried about Remy’s secret scheme?

That wasn’t like him; he was never careless.
