Chapter 457: Seb’s Personality

"I never cared for any of them, Livia." With a quiet sigh, Seb turned off the television before whispering the truth to her sleeping form. Leaning in, he pressed a soft kiss to the top of her head, his lips lingering for a moment against her silky hair. "No woman has been to my house, not here or anywhere else. You don’t have to worry about my past."

A pang of guilt prickled at him as he remembered her earlier comment about his past exploits. He had never been one to discuss his romantic history and specially not with her, preferring to focus on their future together. But perhaps it was good if he made some clarifications. He’d had no idea it would bother her so much.

But maybe he should have thought of that. He knew for a fact that she too had dated other people after their separation and he’d been careful to avoid thinking about that.

Another sigh escaped him, "Alright, I’ll tell you all about the past, if that is what you need to not be worried. Just don’t expect me to listen about your ex boyfriends, alright? I don’t want to know."

As he sleepily and rather grumpily leaned back his head, imagining Olivia with someone else, he failed to see her open eyes and slightly altered breathing. She was awake.

Olivia quickly closed her eyes as she felt Seb’s hand caressing her hair. The sudden silence from the television’s noise had woken her up but she had not expected to listen to his confession the moment she came to. So he had never brought any woman to the house? At least she didn’t have to worry about Seb having memories in this house with different women.

But then why did he say that he never had a woman comve over to his house? At the island, there had been so many sizes, they were obviously for different women right?

She felt a smallsmile break out on her face and had to suppress it forcefully when he mentioned talking about her ex boyfriends.

Unlike him, she did not have a bevy of ex’s. She’d had two failed relationships both of which had broken up because she had always been comparing them to him in her head.

She wondered if she should move a bit so he would know that she’d woken up and that they could discuss this topic. But she was so comfortable in this position. The short nap that she’d just had made her feel even more refreshed than an entire night of sleep.

Before she could make a decision, however, the tranquility was broken by the ringing of his phone. She almost giggled as she heard him curse and move to quickly silence the tone, al the while being careful not to jostle her. Why was he so caring?

And then she heard him answer," Rosie."

She thought of the muscular man, whose picture Isabella had shown her and buried her face in Seb’s chest, pretending to be asleep still and decided to eavesdrop. They would discuss this matter of girlfriends later.

Whatever it was that his assistant told him, seemed to make him irritated as he said impatiently," Just leave that to me. And tell them that I am the one who ordered the push and the deadline. So they better behave themselves and fall in line."

As he disconnected the call and started to make another one, Seb noticed Olivia’s slight shift in position, but assumed she was still asleep and getting disturbed because of his voice. This, as the call connected, his voice softened considerably," Emma. How are you doing?"

"Sebastian! I’m doing well. I guess the news reached you. I’m sorry, I should not have worried your staff and troubled them so..."

Seb sighed at her pitiful voice and shook his head," Its okay, Emma. Things like these happen. I’ve already warned them to follow your directions. You won’t have any such problem in the future."

"Thanks, Sebastian. I thought I could handle this but I really appreciate you stepping in and your support..."

Seb smiled, his chin unconsciously rubbing against the top of Olivia’s head as he continued to talk, "You’re still learning, Emma. Its okay to ask for help. And we are partners so I hope next time you will come to me directly. Understand?"

"Yes. I do. Thank you, Sebastian."

"Don’t mention it, Emma. And now, go catch up on your sleep. Good night."

Even as Seb disconnected the call and slowly moved behind Olivia, getting comfortable, all the warmth within her seemed to have disappeared as he heart sank, listening to the conversation.

Who was this woman he was speaking to so affectionately and patiently? He said they were partners but as far as she knew the Frosts did not have many partners, preferring to keep things between themselves. He’d even taken the time to call her at this late hour and comfort her. Emma... The name sounded familiar. Where had she heard it in the past?

As Seb’s warmth enveloped her, Olivia fought the urge to pull away, to confront him about this woman but then felt foolish at her own self. Wasn’t she just repeating her past mistakes, letting her jealousy get the better of her? Even though many things had changed about Seb, there was one thing she was sure of. He would never two time. He’d married her so he would be faithful to her.

However, a little voice within her reminded her that it hadn’t taken him long to fall into bed with another woman or a series of women. But she shook it away. She had no right to think of the past. Even the comment that she had made before had been uncalled for. She knew that if wanted answers, all she had to do was ask him..

As she moved about restlessly, her thoughts jumbled, she heard Seb’s voice close to her ear,"Olivia? You awake?"

Now she was caught. Composing herself, she slowly opened her eyes, hoping that he would not guess that she’s been up for some time...
