The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 744

Sebastian could tell she’d just woken up. “Is now a good time to come in?” he asked softly.

Citrine nodded and stepped aside to let him in. Sebastian gestured for the room service staff behind him to bring in the breakfast.

Once the staff had left, Citrine asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

“I ha—” Sebastian started, but changed his mind mid-sentence. He coughed awkwardly and admitted, “Actually, no, not yet.”

He looked a little sheepish and avoided meeting her eyes.

Citrine didn’t think too much of it, assuming he genuinely hadn’t had breakfast, so she invited him in. “Come on, let’s eat together.”

Sebastian nodded.

“You go ahead and start. I’ll just freshen up,” Citrine said, heading straight for the bathroom.

She brushed her teeth and splashed some water on her face, then came out a few minutes later. When she returned, Sebastian was still sitting at the table, but hadn’t touched his food.

“Why aren’t you eating?” she asked with a smile.

Sebastian looked up at her, sincerity in his eyes. “I was waiting for you.”

It was such a simple thing to say, yet somehow, it made something warm bloom in Citrine’s chest.

She gathered her hair into a loose ponytail, then sat down across from him.

“Let’s eat,” she said, breaking the moment.

Seeing her pick up her fork, Sebastian finally reached for his own.

Citrine was genuinely hungry and tucked into her food eagerly, barely pausing to breathe. Sebastian, on the other hand, seemed more interested in watching her than eating his own meal.
