Chapter 240. The One She Truly Loved

Caitlin was well aware of Black Wolf Fortress’s fearsome reputation. That was not a place Sebastian could take on alone.

At that moment, worry consumed her. She couldn’t bear the thought of him going there alone.

“Sebastian, I’m coming with you!” she insisted, her face filled with concern.

Sebastian was deeply moved by her reaction. He could feel her worry for him, her care.

“You can’t, Caitlin. The kids need you. Stay here and take care of them.”

With that, he kissed her urgently—hard, dominating, but brief. Then, pulling away, he looked into her eyes and whispered, “Wait for me.”

Before she could say another word, he turned and strode out.

Caitlin rushed to the hallway, watching as he descended the stairs and walked out of Vanderbilt Manor.

His figure was resolute, unwavering.

At that moment, she felt as though a part of her had been ripped away. A sudden panic surged within her.

Sebastian... you have to come back.
