Chapter 521: Return
"Sebastian Frost, are you feeling jealous?" Olivia teased, a playful glint in her eye as she observed Seb, who was cheerfully distributing the flowers she had received from James just the day before. Despite their pristine appearance, Seb insisted they were wilting and should be given away instead of being carried home. She couldn’t resist poking fun at him, especially when he seemed so preoccupied with those.
Seb cast her a glance at that and finally when the flowers had been distributed among the last of the nursing staff, he looked up and and gave her a tight lipped smiled, "Lets go, Olivia! Our bags are already in the car. Lets go."
Olivia frowned. What was wrong with him now? She’d pulled the James card yesterday to shock him into accepting his feelings and with the way he’d been behaving yesterday, she’d thought that he would be back to his old self soon enough! It had been a roaring success, raising his possessive instincts. And yet, here he was, back to being this new sadly grumpy being that she did not like seeing. He’d been fine even until a few moments ago before she teased him.
He should have responded to her teasing with that smirk of his and said, "Jealous? As if?That guy has nothing on me since you are totally in love with me..."
Olivia frowned at his response, looking over carefully. Why was he being so hot and cold? The man could be a thermostat at this rate!
As she moved to get into a sitting position, he came to help her up. His hand slid around her lower back to support her, and she couldn’t help but stare at his haggard face," Seb? What is wrong?" Olivia felt a sudden urge of anger at the way he tried to keep looking away from her. As if he were some guilty thief. Either he man up and tell her about his divorce plans or he better get his sh*t in order and get back to the Sebby who totally doted on her and spoilt her. And she knew which one she wanted!
Seb turned his head to and gave her a look but then just as quickly glanced away,"Nothing’s wrong. Lets go, Olivia."
"Not until you tell me what is wrong. I don’t like this, Sebby." Olivia answered stubbornly.
Seb sighed and and as she sat with her legs hanging on the side of the bed, he knelt down. With gentle hands he grabbed her ankle and slipped the sandal onto her foot," I am jealous, Livi. I am so jealous right now that I don’t know what to do with myself."
