Sebastian's usually cold face was lit up as if by a ray of light, so bright that Daniela couldn't tear her eyes away.

He froze for a moment, then his lips, which had been pressed into a thin line, slowly curled up into a smile.

His brows and eyes crinkled with warmth, gentle beyond words.

"Fine. You proposed dating, don't back out."

"Well, that depends," Daniela smirked, her smiling lips, soft and crimson, were undeniably alluring.

"I won't give you the chance to back out," Sebastian murmured, unable to resist leaning down to kiss her.

Just as he was about to touch Daniela's red lips, he stopped abruptly, turning his head to the side, and kissed her cheek instead.

"I'll owe you this one."

He still remembered the AIDS thing, even at this point.

Daniela thought he was cautious, but also found it funny, and retorted, "You wish."

She pushed him away.

Being held like this for so long, her pregnant belly couldn't take it.

Sebastian saw her rubbing her waist, and knew she was tired. He let go of her, and followed her inside.

Daniela turned around, put her hand against his chest, and stopped him from following: "Wait. Even though we're dating, there are things we need to make clear."

Sebastian was in a good mood right now, his brows still tinged with smiles. Hearing her say this, he just raised an eyebrow: "Go on."

Daniela took another look at him, then said: "First of all, we're dating, as in boyfriend and girlfriend. This relationship is between just the two of us, Fernanda, especially Antonia, has nothing to do with it. If your mom comes and tries to lord it over me, don't blame me for being rude."

"Of course," Sebastian said. "You can rest assured, I'll handle my mother."

Daniela didn't care, and continued: "Secondly, I hope our relationship stays low-key, it's best if nobody knows."

Sebastian frowned.

Right now he wanted to announce it to the world.

Daniela was asking him to keep it low-key, to tell no one, wouldn't that suffocate him?

Daniela sighed: "That day, Fernanda was happy, she just revealed a little bit about the baby, and Ashley already went so far as to resort to violence. Besides Ashley, could there be anyone else?"

"Sebastian, you should know this."

Seeing her keep rubbing her waist, Sebastian helped her to the sofa and sat down, while rubbing her waist, he said: "Last time you appeared with me at the gala, everyone already had their suspicions, now we're keeping our distance, it's too late."

Daniela couldn't help but glare at him.

Sebastian couldn't resist leaning down and kissing her face again, and said earnestly: "Since the child has Romero Family blood, he is destined to face danger."

"You should know, hiding isn't my style, or yours."

Daniela conceded, thinking about it, she also felt that he was right.

"But I still hope we can keep a low profile. Like the fireworks today, for example, were completely unnecessary."

"You saw that?" Sebastian's eyes lit up slightly.

Daniela gave him a speechless roll of her eyes.

Sebastian touched his nose, and silently cursed the online tutorial in his heart again.

It was supposed to be romantic! Why was Daniela so dismissive?

"Keeping it low-key is good. I don't have a hobby of letting outsiders peek into my private life."

Daniela reluctantly nodded in agreement.

"Also," Daniela changed her expression to a serious one, "Relationships need to be based on loyalty. Ex-girlfriends, blind dates, I hope you have some sense, and handle them yourself."

"Otherwise, for the rest of your life, you won't be allowed near me."

Sebastian didn't dare question the meaning behind Daniela's words.

It wasn't just her, he was afraid even the child wouldn't see him.

Sebastian knelt on one knee, "I swear, from this day forward, my love belongs only to Daniela. If I break my promise..."

"I'll be banished to the desert, never allowed to wash or bathe."

Daniela: ... It wasn't necessary, she'd find it disgusting.

Having said what she needed to say, Daniela looked at him with a cool gaze, "We're just dating, you acting all cozy is crossing the line. So, get out now."

Sebastian: ...
