My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 256

Sebastian's movements faltered, a complex emotion flashing through his eyes.

He took a sip of his wine, his voice low. "It's in the past. Let's not talk about it."

Yolanda looked at him but didn't press the issue.

But she knew deep down that if it were truly entirely in the past, Sebastian wouldn't look like that.

His blatant reluctance to discuss it proved he hadn't fully let her go.

It made sense, though. After all, Seraphina was now married to Lucian Langford!

The man was the ultimate billionaire bachelor of the capital.

Yolanda gripped her wine glass tightly, a dark glint flickering in her eyes.

On the other side of the room, Seraphina was chatting with Tiffany when she suddenly felt a gaze land on her.

She looked up and met Sebastian's eyes.

Across a few tables and the bustling crowd, their eyes locked for a fleeting second.

Sebastian's gaze was fraught with complexity, as if he had a thousand things to say, but in the end, he just gave a barely perceptible nod and looked away.

Seraphina withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to take a sip of her soup.

Lucian had noticed the entire exchange, but he didn't say a word. He simply reached out and gently draped an arm over Seraphina's shoulders, a quiet assertion of dominance.

Sensing his movement, Seraphina looked up at him and smiled.

This man...

Was he jealous?

Lucian lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Eat more. Don't let our baby go hungry."

Seraphina's ears grew hot, and she gave him a light push. "People are watching."

"My father genuinely admires you," Melody replied, her gaze sweeping over to Seraphina before she abruptly shifted the conversation. "By the way, I hear Ms. Simmons also has quite a profound knowledge of art?"

Seraphina had been sipping her tea and glanced up at the mention of her name.

Melody's words sounded like a compliment, but it was a deliberate trap to push her into the spotlight and embarrass her in front of Elder Harrison and the other experts.

Art authentication wasn't something just anyone could fake their way through.

Tiffany was quick on the uptake. Catching Melody's malicious intent, she silently cursed her for being a manipulative witch and was just about to run interference for Seraphina—

When Seraphina set down her teacup and offered a calm smile. "I know a little, but I wouldn't call it a profound knowledge."

Melody smiled brightly. "You're too modest, Ms. Simmons. Since you're here, why don't we take a look together? Elder Harrison's collection is full of rare masterpieces."

Seraphina looked at Melody, her eyes cool and unruffled.

This woman was absolutely determined to pick a fight.
