**Chapter 175**

As fate would have it, Edmund’s gaze locked onto me, an unsettling recognition flickering across his features. Before I could even process the moment, he swiftly positioned himself in my path, a smirk barely concealing his unease.

“Well, well, look who we have here! It’s been ages, hasn’t it, Sebastian?” he chimed, his voice dripping with a false cheerfulness that grated on my nerves. “I’ve been meaning to extend an olive branch regarding the whole mess with you and Hera. But seriously, do you need to stalk us all the way to this place? It’s really not what it appears to be. We’re just catching up with old friends.”

As if on cue, Hera and Mila shifted their attention towards me. The moment their eyes met mine, an unmistakable shadow darkened their expressions, and I could almost feel the tension crackling in the air.

I halted mid-step, allowing a derisive snicker to escape my lips. Here stood Edmund, the very embodiment of arrogance. Was this truly the best he could muster as an opening line?

“Don’t even think about trying to be friendly with me. I have a severe aversion to scoundrels like you,” I retorted, my voice steady and laced with disdain. “And spare me the flattery. Hera doesn’t need me stalking her; she deserves far better.”

I could see Hera’s fists clench tightly at her sides, her anger palpable. Edmund’s expression morphed into one of fury, his pride wounded by my words.

“How dare you!” he spat, his voice low and menacing.

Mila, unable to contain herself any longer, shot me a glare that could have pierced steel. “You talk a big game, Sebastian, but let’s be real—you’re not all that impressive. Hera is far too remarkable for someone like you, do you understand? Your loss is a gain for someone who knows how to appreciate her.”

“Oh, to be a fly on the wall when you realize what a mistake you made by letting go of such an incredible woman! And do us all a favor—stop following us around, you creep. I could easily call the cops on you.”

I scoffed, my gaze narrowing on her cheek, a reminder of the past. “You’re in no position to lecture anyone. How’s that cheek of yours after our last encounter? Would you like me to refresh your memory?”
