The Doormat Wife’s Ultimate Glow-Up novel Chapter 186

Sebastian walked her toward his car, his tone steady and firm. “You’ve been drinking. You can’t drive. Come with me. I have a driver.

“I’ll go with you. I’m Annie’s godmother, after all. One more adult can only help, especially if something comes up and you need an extra hand.”

Reese stopped in her tracks, suddenly realizing she’d actually had a drink earlier. She’d been so flustered she’d completely forgotten.

A little kid with a high fever was nothing to mess around with. She didn’t want to waste another second here. Without arguing again, she pulled her hand out of his and hurried straight toward the black Bentley parked at the curb.

“Hurry up,” she called over her shoulder.

Sebastian watched her rushing off and, for a moment, something warm flickered in his eyes before he quickly followed her.

With his reputation, Sebastian drew attention wherever he went. Earlier, people had kept their distance because it was obvious he and Reese had something serious to talk about. But now, with the two of them leaving together in such a rush, the room buzzed with whispers.

“What’s going on? Is Mr. Ratcliff leaving with Reese?”

“Weren’t people saying Reese was the one who got in the way between Mr. Ratcliff and Sofia? I don’t buy it. If anything, it looks like he’s the one chasing after her.”

“Exactly! I mean, even when he was with Sofia, he never looked this attentive. Did you see his face just now? He looked seriously worried. He’s really into her.”

“No wonder Mr. Ratcliff was hovering around Ms. Meyer all evening. He seemed annoyed whenever anyone else tried to talk to her.”

The gossip drifted over to Leslie, who stood frozen, watching Sebastian leave without even a backward glance. He’d come to this event with her, but now he was acting like she was invisible, following after Reese like nothing else mattered. Fury burned in her chest, so hot it made her whole body ache.

Sebastian was supposed to be her partner tonight. Now he’d just left her behind, treating her like she was nothing. How was she supposed to just accept that?

“Wow. Looks like Sebastian’s really in deep this time.”

She hadn’t even noticed when Neal came up beside her, following her gaze. His voice was somewhere between teasing and sympathetic.

“Honestly, the only other time I’ve seen him act like this was when he was dating you, right?
