Kneeling for a Second Chance (Sebastian and Valeria) novel Chapter 111

"Alright then. I'll shut off the water valve for now and come back to fix it tomorrow," Caleb replied.

Valeria could feel Sebastian's gaze turn colder.

She said, "I'm bringing Selena to my grandmother's home tomorrow. We won't be home for a few days, but turning off the valve for now should stop any leaks."

"Alright." Caleb glanced at the time and noticed that it was getting late. He walked to the door, but turned around to look at Sebastian, who was still sitting on the couch.

Valeria followed him to the door, and just as she was about to close it, Caleb frowned and said, "That guy…"

Sebastian hadn't looked too friendly when he glanced at Caleb.

Valeria turned slightly, catching a glimpse of Sebastian through her peripheral vision. He was still seated on the small sofa in her living room, showing no intention of leaving. She didn't know how to explain their relationship.

So, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "He's my cousin."

What else could she say? Was she supposed to call him her boyfriend? Well, he wasn't.

What then? A doctor who came to celebrate a patient's birthday? That sounded even more ridiculous.

And that cold, sudden, familiar kiss just now was still lingering on her lips.

She didn't like to lie, but ever since she had met Sebastian, she seemed to be lying constantly.

"I see." Caleb scratched his head. "He doesn't seem to like me very much."

Why would he need to like Caleb? There was nothing for two men to like about one another. That was Valeria's first thought.

She replied, "Well, that's just how my cousin is…"

Caleb actually wanted to say more. He wanted to mention that even if they were relatives, it was still too late for a man to be staying over at her place.

But Valeria had already closed the door.
