Chapter 11
Sebastian’s indulgence towards Sophia had reached a point where it was almost universally condemned.
As a bodyguard, he accompanied Sophia shopping, eating, and watching movies. When she casually mentioned wanting to eat pastries. from the west side of the city, he personally queued up to buy them at three in the morning. When she got tired from shopping, he half- squatted down to massage her ankles, completely ignoring the surprised looks of others.
As Mr. Malfoy, Sophia liked the new collection of a certain high–end jewelry brand. He secretly sent someone to buy the entire series and presented it to her. When she said she liked stars, he bought a whole piece of the night sky for her and named it after her. If she mentioned. that she couldn’t stand someone, the next day that person would simply disappear from the circle.
The group of brothers in the circle all said that Mr. Malfoy had fallen, fallen into the hands of Ms. Sophia from the Rowland family.
That’s true.
That day, Sophia insisted on going to the outskirts to watch the sunset. On the way back, a truck lost control and crashed straight into their
car.
At the critical moment, Sebastian suddenly turned the steering wheel, avoiding the impact point on the passenger side, and then leaned sideways to protect Sophia.
“Bang!”
Chapter 11
The car body was hit and rolled over twice, the glass shattered, the airbags deployed, and Sebastian’s back slammed heavily against the door, sharp metal shards piercing his skin, blood instantly soaking through his shirt.
But his arm was steady protecting the person in his arms, not letting her get hurt at all.
“Sebastian! Sophia’s face turned pale with fright as she trembled to touch his bloodied face. “You, you’re bleeding…”
Sebastian wanted to comfort her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he coughed up blood.
Before he passed out, he only heard her crying in despair.
When I woke up again, the first thing I saw was the stark white ceiling. of the hospital room.
Sophia was lying on his bed dozing off when she heard a noise and immediately pounced on him, hugging him tightly. “You scared me! Why are you so silly!”
She accidentally pressed on his wound, causing Sebastian to grunt in pain, but he still raised his hand to gently stroke her back, saying, “It’s okay… it doesn’t hurt.”
Sophia cried with tears streaming down her face, “The doctor said if the steel bar had gone in just one inch more, it would have pierced my heart!”
He was still gentle, “Don’t cry, this is what I should do.”
“You’ve been too kind to me… Sophia raised her teary eyes. “Even- though you are Elodie’s bodyguard, you have always secretly taken care of me over the years…”

“Remember when I had a fever, you ran through the rain across the whole city to buy me a chocolate cake…”
That day was pouring rain, he searched outside for five hours, and when he came back, he was soaking wet, but still delivered the warm chocolate cake to the Rowland’s residence.
“Last year on my birthday, I casually mentioned wanting a necklace. that was not for sale, and you went off to participate in a deadly race…”
“What touched me the most was the flower on the Big Sur Cliffs… in such a dangerous place, you risked your life to pick it for me…”
“So… Sophia looked at him expectantly, “why were you so nice to me?“”
“Because… he opened his mouth, but the words “I like you” got stuck in his throat.”
That was so strange.
He had blocked the car for her, picked flowers for her, and even got a tattoo for her. But when it came time to actually say it, his heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand, making it hard for him to breathe.
“Are you free in three days? he eventually changed the subject, “I have something to tell you.“”
Sophia’s eyes lit up: “What did you say?”
“You’ll know when the time comes, he forced a smile.”
Sophia wanted to ask further questions, but her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at the incoming call display, her expression instantly

becoming flustered. “Sebastian. I have something to attend to. I have to leave!”
Without waiting for Sebastian’s response, she had already grabbed her bag and rushed out of the ward.
The moment the door closed. Sebastian’s smile disappeared.
He looked up at the ceiling and suddenly remembered an accident that had happened six months ago.
At that time, he was still Elodie’s bodyguard and was attacked during a business event.
In order to protect her, he was cut by a sharp weapon on his shoulder. leaving a deep wound that exposed the bone.
“Sebastian, are you crazy? Elodie exploded on the spot, her eyes red as she cursed at him. “Who told you to block? Who told you to block?“”
She cursed at him while frantically trying to stop the bleeding, the expensive dress covered in bloodstains without her noticing.
Later in the hospital, the heiress who had never touched the water of the Yangtze River personally insisted on taking care of him. The porridge she cooked was so thick that it could be used as a brick, and when she peeled an apple, she could peel off half a pound of flesh, but she stubbornly refused to let the nurse intervene,
“You were my bodyguard, that’s for sure, she said, her eyes red at the time, “but my life is important, and so is yours.”
As he recalled this, Sebastian couldn’t help but smile.
The next second, he suddenly froze.
Chapter 11
What was he doing?
Elodie has already gotten married. He liked Sophia. What was he thinking of doing?
As if to prove something, he picked up his phone and dialed his childhood friend Tyrell Brady’s number.
“Oh, Mr. Malfoy finally remembered his brother? a mocking voice came through the phone, “I heard you jumped in front of a car for love, almost died a heroic death?“”
Sebastian cut straight to the chase: “Help me prepare a confession scene.”
“What?! Tyrell almost fell off his chair, “You’re going to confess to Sophia? Finally not playing the secret admirer anymore?“”
“Okay, Sebastian listed off a series of requests, “roses, a symphony orchestra, a drone show, and also prepare a pink diamond necklace…”
Tyrell was shocked to hear, “You spent a billion just to confess your love? Are you going to spoil her rotten in the future? I really don’t understand, what is it about Sophia that you like so much?”
This question plunged Sebastian into reminiscence.
Three years ago at that charity gala, he met Sophia for the first time.
She was wearing a white dress at that time, climbing up the tree without caring about her image to save a precarious bird’s nest.
The sunlight dappled through the leaves onto her, her face indistinct. but beautiful like a painting.
Halfway through, he received a phone call. Just as he was about to

come back to help her, she had already successfully rescued the bird’s nest and left.
He asked the waiter who that was, and the waiter replied, “Miss Rowland from the Rowland family.”
It was that moment of heart palpitation that made him decide to approach her.
For this, he even concealed his identity and became a bodyguard for Elodie, just to be able to see Sophia frequently.
“She was kind, innocent… Sebastian mechanically listed Sophia’s virtues, but the more he spoke, the more he felt like a stranger.”
“Anyway, you are ready, that’s all. This time, I will definitely make Sophia agree to me.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone straight away.
