Chapter 187
Sebastian’s brows furrowed deeply, and he sneered, “Why are you so vulgar, low–class, and cheap is your mind full of nothing but those romantic lines? Can’t you think of anything else?”
One sentence nearly choked her.
Caitlin was speechless. Those lines sounded so familiar. That damit man was using her own words to retort at her!
But she couldn’t completely blame Sebastian. When he was in a bad mood, he could be extremely sharp tongued!
As Caitlin fumed, the man suddenly prepared to pick her up.
“Hey! No need, no need! I can walk on my own!”
Caitlin couldn’t stand when he picked her up without warning. Her legs were perfectly fine, and she could walk by herself.
“Are you sure you can walk in those high heels?”
Sebastian glanced at her with narrowed eyes, his brows drawn together like a sharp sword.
To him, Caitlin was elegant and graceful, like a treasure. How could he hear letting her wade through this muddy water!
“I can take my shoes off and walk!”
In such heavy rain, him carrying her wouldn’t be easy. Besides, Caitlin wasn’t as fragile as he thought. It was just a bit of standing water.
The woman was stubborn, and Sebastian couldn’t argue with her. Caitlin took off her high heels and carried them in her hand. But as soon as she stepped onto the road, the water rose up to her calves.
Caitlin walked beside him, but perhaps it was her bad luck. After a short distance, she suddenly felt a sharp pain under her feet.
“Whh–1”
Hearing her gasp, Sebastian turned around. “What’s wrong?”
“It feels like I stepped on something sharpl
Caitlin lifted her leh foot, only to see blood oozing from her sole, She must’ve stepped on some shards of glass or other sharp objects.
Seeing herbleeding, Sebastian’s face tightened, his heart aching with worry.
Without hesitation, he walked back to her, bending down.
His tone was still gulf and commanding, with no room for argument.
Caitlin glared at him. His broad, sturdy back emanated an aura of coldness and defiance. This was the second time Sebastian hud bent down for her, willing to carry her on his back
if it wasn’t for the fact that she’d witnessed it firsthand, it would be hard to believe that such a high and mighty man would ever lower himself
After waiting for a while and seeing t

on his back, Sebastian turned and looked at her. “What are you waiting for?”
The wind and rain were intense, and she was still injured. How long would she keep being stubborn?
Caitlin was truly at her limit now, her foot throbbing with pain. She had no choice but to try and climbs onto his back

The weight was light, but it was a close, soft pressure against his body. Sebastian’s arms instinctively wrapped around her legs, lifting her eas
stood up and walked forward.
The water surged around them, soaking Sebastian’s pants. Debris like leaves and twigs clung to his clothing. For a man who was usually immaculate, the contrast between him and the murky water was stark.
It was hard to walk through the water, especially while carrying someone, but Sebastian’s steps were steady and strong, as if he was marching with an unwavering resolve
The wind howled, and Caitlin’s raincoat blew away, soaking her instantly. Both of them were drenched, but the heat from Sebastian’s back was the only warmth Caitlin could feel through the storm
As she lay on his back, she couldn’t help but remember the times she used to rest on her grandfather’s back when she was young. His back, just like Sebastian’s, was broad and warni.
Sebastian moved quickly and steadily, navigating through the flooded paths until they reached one of the villas.
The foundation of the villa was high enough to be unaffected by

The door opened swiftly, and he turned to her, “Come inside”
“Is this your place?” she asked.
“Why do you care? Haven’t you heard? Curiosity killed the cat.”
Caitlin
How did she get the feeling that Sebastian was really in a bad mood today? All those retorts she used to give him were coming back at her now!
Sebastian’s face remained serious as he scooped her up again and carried her inside, kicking the door shut behind him.
The wind and rain were kept at bay, and the inside of the villa was luxuriously bright,
Sebastian carried Caitlin up to the second floor, finally setting her down in front of a bathroom door.
“Take a shower first.”
He turned and walked away, but Caitlin called out to him just in time. “Wait, there’s no clothes to change into here
“There’s clothes in the wardrobe.”
Before she could respond, he disappeared around the corner. Caitlin was skeptical but hopped into the room, limping as she went to the wardrobe.
When she opened the wardrobe, she was taken aback.
The wardrobe was filled with women’s clothes, all of them new with tags still attached. She frowned as she looked at them, wondering many women’s clothes here.
Was this Sebastian’s villa? Why did the wardrobe contain so many women’s clothes?
She quickly scanned the room and saw a photo frame on the table. In the frame was a side profile of a young woman,
Who was the girl?

The woman in the photo was young and beautiful, her smile radiant and bright. Caitlin didn’t recognize her, but there was a vague feeling that the girls

Could she have been one of his past lovers?

Was this their love nest?
Never mind. She didn’t have any clothes to change into, so she picked something from the wardrobe.
After taking a shower and changing, Caitlin was about to go downstairs when she spotted Sebastian coming from another room
He had changed into a black V–neck T–shirt and black pants, looking much more relaxed and comfortable compared to his usual cold and formal
