Chapter 29 Buttercream

• Surprisingly, Sebastian’s meek attitude somehow intimidated Jocelyn. After all, she had grown too comfortable with light-hearted occasions rather than serious ones. Thus, she shoved Sebastian aside and backed away, but when the man tried to approach her once again, she shouted at him and said, “Stop! Don’t you dare to come near me!” Oh please! Sebastian, just stay the heck out of my hair!

As both of them continued to stand still, the atmosphere was shrouded in silence, except for the sound of the billowing curtain accompanied by the rustling wind that only served to unnerve Jocelyn. Their awkward standstill lasted until Simon sent for them downstairs. Finally, help is here! I gotta grab my shoes and bolt now!
• As soon as Jocelyn made it to the living room, she was greeted by the sight of Jeremy, who called out to her. Nonetheless, she didn’t see any sign of Joanne and Nadine, whom she reckoned were too embarrassed to show up. “Old Mr. Davis has invited us to join him for an afternoon tea break, and I think he wants to see you! Now, I want you to know that the Davis Family is no ordinary family! So you’d better behave yourself! Remember, don’t be a disgrace to your family!”
