"Slap!"

Sebastian's whispers echoed in Daniela's ears. His words, along with the warm breath that constantly hit her, turned her into a cooked shrimp.

Daniela couldn't take it anymore. Without thinking, she slapped him. She was so embarrassed, her hand didn't have any control.

The slap landed with a crisp sound. Sebastian's face turned red.

Daniela was startled. She quickly cupped his face: "I... I didn't mean to. You... are you okay?"

The obvious handprint on his face reminded her that she had hit him hard. She immediately felt guilty.

Sebastian grabbed her hand and said with hatred, "I've been too lenient with you lately. You're becoming lawless!"

Daniela shrunk her neck and dared not speak.

Sebastian snorted coldly, then gently slapped Daniela's head: "I'll let that one slide."

"But..."

Sebastian's hand moved down, slowly lifting Daniela's chin, forcing her to look at him: "What you owe me from last night, I'm getting it back."

——

After calling Nora to deliver food to Daniela, Sebastian drove away from the hospital and arrived at a coffee shop.

Sofia was anxiously waiting inside. Two cups of coffee were placed in front of her.

Seeing Sebastian enter, Sofia quickly stood up: "Sebastian, you finally agreed to meet me."

Sebastian gestured for her to sit down and looked down at the American coffee in front of her. He reached out and pushed it aside.

Sofia's face was ugly: "Sebastian, you used to love American coffee, didn't you? With milk and no sugar..."

Sebastian interrupted: "No need. I'll cut to the chase."

"Sofia, we've already made things very clear between us. You refused to choose, so I'll decide for you."

"I've made an appointment with the doctor at Sunshine Hospital. You go for a checkup today and get rid of the child."

He took out a card and handed it to Sofia.

"This has two million yuan in it. Consider it compensation for you. The Riverside villa you lived in is also yours."

"Also, I've arranged for you to study at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy for two years. Go after you recover."

Sebastian quickly finished his words, then silently looked at Sofia, waiting for her response.

From the moment he spoke, Sofia's face gradually turned pale.

When he finished, she slowly raised her head: "Sebastian, are you in love with Daniela?"

Sebastian lowered his eyes, didn't avoid the question, and directly answered: "Yes."

Simple, concise, and straightforward.

Sofia gave a bitter laugh: "So that's how it is."

She had indeed failed to get anything from Daniela.

"Okay. I agree. But, I have a condition."

Sebastian wasn't surprised that she would have conditions.

"Say it."

"My birthday is coming up soon. You hold one last birthday party for me."

Sebastian nodded: "Okay."

A cold glint flashed in Sofia's eyes: "I'm not finished. You can't tell Daniela about this condition."

Sebastian frowned.

Sofia begged: "Sebastian, just this once, let me be happy for the last time. Only then can I deceive myself that we're still fine. Let the last memory be perfect."

"Don't worry, after the birthday, I'll personally explain everything to Daniela, and I will never bother you again."

Sebastian squinted slightly, carefully observing Sofia, trying to see any inconsistencies in her expression.

But she truly seemed to think that way, with only pleading in her eyes.

"Sebastian, for the sake of our six years together. Please."

Sebastian finally nodded.
