With such a living, breathing person lying next to her, how could Madelyn possibly fall asleep?

In the quiet room, Madelyni’s eyes were wide open, showing no signs of deepiness.

Having had a few drinks, Sebastian fell into a deep sleep. It wasn’t long before Madelyn could hear his soft, steady breathing

As dawn broke, Madelyn finally succumbed to a hazy slumber.

She had barely slept for two hours when the sound of knocking, echoed from outside the door..

Madelyn despised being disturbed during her sleep. Given her light sleeping habits, the moment the door was knocked, her eyes shot open immediately.

She was seething with suppressed anger, yet before she could let it out, she heard Eunice’s voice from outside the door.

“Madelyn, it’s time to wake up and have breakfast. Today’s breakfast is quite a feast.” Her voice was as soft as

a marshmallow,

Madelyn couldn’t help but feel a surge of irritation. She was deeply convinced that Eunice was out of her

mind.

What is she on about so early in the morning? She’s never been this attentive before.

At that moment, Eunice continued, “Sebastian, wake up. Let’s have breakfast together. Mom and Dad are waiting for you downstairs.”

Sebastian awoke at the sound and furrowed his brows.

He had also stayed up late the previous night, and coupled with the effects of alcohol, he was now waking up with a noticeable headache.

Madelyn was visibly displeased. She’s so annoying.

Despite that, the two of them still got up and freshened up.

As she was changing her clothes, Madelyn let out a soft gasp due to the inconvenience of her arm.

Sebastian turned to look at her, noticing her clutching her arm and wincing in pain. She was halfway through putting on her clothes.

“Let me help you.”

Madelyn stepped back. “No, thank you.”

“Then do you expect someone outside to help you?” Sebastian said coldly.

It was Eunice outside the door. Madelyn, of course, wasn’t pleased.

Chapter 61 Derek Favors Her

Finished

During the process, his hand accidentally brushed against her body, triggering a wave of tingling sensation. Madelyn’s face flushed a deep shade of red.

Sebastian, however, reacted as if nothing had happened, dutifully helping her get dressed.

Then, in a nonchalant manner, he said, “All right, let’s head downstairs.”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Madelyn gave a slight nod and then descended the stairs with him.

Upon descending the stairs, she found Derek, Regina, and Eunice already seated around the table.

A hearty breakfast was already prepared on the table.

“Come down and have something to cat,” Derek said amiably.

Madelyn walked over with Sebastian.

Eunice, who was nearby, looked at them intently.

A flicker of jealousy flashed in her eyes when she saw them walk side by side.

She had always believed that Sebastian was an exceptionally remarkable man.

In every aspect–be it appearance, family background, character, or abilities–he was so flawless that criticism found no foothold.

Madelyn, on the other hand, was wild and crazy. How could she ever be a match for Sebastian?

Eunice was filled with resentment. Why didn’t Dad arrange for me to marry Sebastian in the past?

I’m clearly smarter and more sensible than Madelyn. Hmph, Dad is just too biased!

Fortunately, Eunice had heard that Madelyn was fond of Christopher, which was why her relationship with Sebastian wasn’t great.

She felt much more at ease.

If Madelyn keeps this up, perhaps I’ll have a chance.

Eunice’s spirits lifted considerably. She said warmly, “Madelyn, Sebastian, come sit over here.”

Regina, fully cognizant of Eunice’s feelings, greeted Sebastian with an exceptionally cordial demeanor upon seeing him.

“Sebastian, come have breakfast with us. I specifically asked the cook to prepare all these dishes.”

She sounded as if she were treating Sebastian as her own son.

Observing all this, Madelyn couldn’t be bothered to respond. What a hypocrite. They’re just trying to curry favor with him.

She took her seat.

Chapter 61 Derek Favors Her

Sebastian cast a somewhat puzzled glance at her, and so did everyone else.

Finished

With so many eyes on her, Eunice immediately became a bit flustered, “Oh, it’s… it’s nothing really. I just wanted to say that my sister is quite mischievous. She always seems to stir up trouble at home. In the past, she often gave Mom and Dad headaches. So, I hope that you can keep a closer eye on her in the future.”

Sebastian hesitated for a moment. He didn’t say anything and just gave a nonchalant nod.

Madelyn was visibly upset. “Eunice, watch your words. When have I ever been a troublemaker? You really can’t keep your mouth shut even when you’re eating.”

Regina said with displeasure, “Madelyn, how could you speak about Eunice like that? She’s your sister. Whatever she says, it’s all for your own good.”

“Exactly…” Eunice said, her face full of grievance.

Madelyn gave an indifferent smile. “Thank you, but I don’t need it.”

“Why are you so stubborn?”
