The word 'regret' does not exist in my father's vocabulary. I don't know why he's asked you to treat Bobby, but it's definitely not for the reason you think it is, " he said with confidence.

"My bodyguards will start to suspect that something is wrong if you keep staring atinstead of eating," he lowered his voice and reminded her. "If you want to keep looking into this, it's best that you learn to not show any emotions on your face." She snapped out of it right away and smiled at him, before grabbing her spoon to start eating.
"After hearing what you have to say, I realize you don't have it easy either! If you make a mistake, will your father treat you the way he treated your brother?" "He will." "Wouldn't he be more cautious? You are his last capable son, and if he destroys you, too, who's going to inherit his assets? | thought you mentioned that he values sons over daughters?" "He isn't the type of person who would worry about what happens after his death. He might very well spend all his money before dying." Sebastian shrugged. "He will leavealone as long as I stay clear of trouble. He's done so since I was introduced to the Jennings family, so he's not bad of a father to me, at the very least." "That's good. When you get a girlfriend, remember to check if she had been involved with your father," Avery reminded him.

It could be that she felt sorry for him the more she found out about his family or perhaps she had let her guard down simply because he claimed that he was not interested in women. "Avery, I might not be interested in women, but my mom has been trying to makemarry someone so eventually I will have to comply think you are not too bad... You are not involved with my father for sure, so that savesfrom a lot of trouble..." "Zip it!" Avery immediately lost her patience with him.

She watched as they disappeared into the distance. An unsettling feeling filled her heart.
"Miss. Tate, what were you talking about? I saw you smiling and frowning from tto time..." Avery's bodyguard sat down on Sebastian's seat.
"Nothing much." Avery poked at her food with the fork subconsciously, wondering why Dean had asked for her help to treat Bobby and what he was planning.
Shortly after that, her phone rang. It was a call from Dean.
