Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

Noreen’s face twisted with silent anguish as she observed the man’s gentle care. Elaine placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and shook her head slightly, a quiet gesture of concern.

Cameron strolled over, a mischievous smirk playing on his lips as he teased, “Lillian, Sebastian used to be as cold as ice. Now look at him—the most devoted boyfriend in the world.”

“Well, well, Lillian,” Manny chimed in, approaching with a playful wink. “Feeling rested after your little break?”

They bantered lightly, but Sebastian ignored their teasing. Instead, he smoothed Lillian’s hair with tender fingers, then took her hand and guided her toward the resort’s grand entrance. As they stepped into the elegant lobby, a well-dressed, handsome man approached with a warm smile. “Mr. Whitmore, it’s an honor. Please forgive us for not welcoming you sooner.”

Sebastian met the man’s gaze, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “After all the effort the Soren family has put in, how could I not come?”

Rowan chuckled softly and motioned for everyone to follow him.

Sebastian led Lillian through the spacious lobby, where golf carts were already lined up outside. The resort was vast, and walking would take too long, so the carts were a practical necessity.

They climbed aboard one of the carts, which glided smoothly down the paved road. Soon, it came to a stop in front of an impressive villa.

A valet swiftly unloaded their luggage with practiced efficiency.

Rowan smiled warmly. “This is the largest and most luxurious villa we have. We made sure it was prepared especially for your arrival.”

Sebastian glanced up briefly, gave a curt nod, and remained silent.

From the outside, the villa exuded an old-world charm, with its stone walls and classic architecture. Inside, however, it was thoroughly modern. Floor-to-ceiling windows stretched along every wall, bathing the rooms in natural light and offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

With so many rooms available, the group ultimately decided to stay together in this single villa.

At the news, a flicker of secret delight shone in Noreen’s eyes—this was an opportunity she was determined not to let slip away.

Elaine felt a deep disappointment. Her warning the last time had clearly fallen on deaf ears. Noreen looked as if she was ready to throw herself headlong into ruin.

But Noreen’s eyes only darkened further. Turning toward her room, her heart burned with a fierce determination. She had loved him for years—she couldn’t simply let him go.

Especially not when the woman she was losing to was nothing more than an orphan, lacking all the advantages Noreen possessed.

—

Upstairs in the villa’s bedroom, Lillian, exhausted from the previous late night, immediately curled up on the bed as soon as they entered.

Sebastian shook his head with a mix of amusement and helplessness at her lazy behavior. He carefully pulled the blanket over her, tucking it neatly around the corners, and spoke softly, “Sleep now.”

As he watched her drift off, her face softened and peaceful—so different from the sharp focus she wore at work—he couldn’t help but smile quietly to himself.
