Trapped In Her Heart - Chapter 267

Snuggling against her chest, he smiled, “I just wanna make you proud because I love you.”

“Mr Sebastian Stewart, cheesy talks ain’t gonna work because we have many meetings scheduled today and you also have to go out for a lunch meeting with Noah.”

Scrunching his brows, he snapped, “What? Wasn’t that meeting scheduled next week?”

“Yes but since Noah and Mel are leaving for their pre-honeymoon the very next day after the Gala, we had to reschedule it,” she explained.

Intertwining their hands together, he inquired, “Can we go for a pre-honeymoon as well? It sounds so cool and I am sure it’s gonna be super fun.”

Hooking her other arm around his neck, she smiled, “Of course, why don’t you take permission from my father first? He is coming next week, you can talk to him about it.”

“Yes and then jump off the terrace before he kills me.”

Squeezing his cheeks, she gave him a peck on his lips. “Get ready for the meeting first, I’ll prepare the file.”

Before she could walk away, he grabbed her hand. “If I go out for the lunch meeting, what about you?”

“We are going to the new korean-barbeque place nearby,” she answered.

“And who are a part of the ‘we’?”

“Ava, Mel, Char and me.”

“How can you explore a new place without me? That is so not fair,” he frowned.

“We can go there tomorrow if the food is great, okay? Now stop making that face and get back to work.”

“Give me a kiss first,” he demanded before pouting his lips.

Pressing her forehead against his, she chuckled, “You seriously crack me up at times.” Lightly slapping his cheek, she smiled, “My crackhead.”

“My lips are waiting Ms.Miller.”

Pressing her lips against his, she bit his lower lip making him wince in pain. But before he could do anything, she pushed him away and rushed out of the room.

“Hey, that isn’t fair.”

“Meeting in ten minutes Mr.Boss.”

After Ellie left, Sebastian sighed and started doing his work. After a few minutes, he received a call from a number.

“Is it ready? Hmm, when can I come and collect it?”

Nodding his head in agreement, he instructed, “You don’t have to deliver it, I’ll collect it myself in the evening.”

…..

Afternoon.

Restaurant.

“So basically she has a problem with everything you or Seb does?” When Ava nodded her head, Charlotte gritted her teeth. “I probably shouldn’t be saying this but your mom needs to learn to mind her own business and stop interfering.”

“I agree that it’s important for parents to guide their kids to save them from taking a wrong path but too much interference is not good or healthy,” Melissa added.

Ellie nodded her head in agreement. “I agree with what Mel said.” Pausing for a while, she added, “Today she had an argument with Seb over this matter, she thinks Seb and Noah did the wrong thing by placing you in the event management department.”

Helplessly shaking her head, Ava sighed in dejection. “Will you believe me if I said that I saw this coming? I knew she wouldn’t be happy with anything that I want to do.”

“I swear, I am never going to stop my kids from doing anything that they want to. I will support them no matter what,” Charlotte stated.

“Me too, I would never want them to go through what Seb and I have.”

“Seb tells me the same thing. Keeping the kids disciplined is okay but pressuring them is wrong,” Ellie remarked.

Looking at Ava, Melissa inquired, “So how is everything in the event management department?”

“Everything is fabulous, the current head who is about to get retired—”

“Mrs Jonhson?” When Ava nodded her head, Ellie smiled, “She is a very kind hearted lady and is super sweet.”

“I know,” she beamed. “She kept calling me ma’am which was really very weird because she is my senior so I told her to call me by my name. She was really very reluctant at first but later I convinced her.”

“As long as you are happy, nothing else matters.”

“Alright enough of work talks, why don’t we discuss the main thing?” Without waiting for anyone’s reply, Charlotte asked, “When are we going to get our gowns?”

“Yes, let’s go tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow is good, I’ll inform June as well.”

Looking at Ellie who was quietly sipping her drink, Charlotte inquired, “What about you El? Is tomorrow okay.”

Awkwardly clearing her throat, she gave her a weak smile. “Yeah, whatever suits you girls.”

Throwing her hand in her mouth, Melissa gasped, “You already bought your gown, haven’t you?” When Ellie shyly looked away, she gritted her teeth. “How could you betray us like that?”

Left with no other choice, Ellie confessed, “Seb took me out for shopping yesterday and he also bought a gown for me.”

“Wait what? You already have a gown and you did not even tell us?” Placing her hand on her chest, Ava gasped, “I feel so betrayed.”

“Come on guys, it’s not my fault. Go blame Seb for whatever happened, he forced me to buy that gown,” she defended herself.

“At least show us the picture of the gown so that we can forgive you for betraying us,” Charlotte stated.

Awkwardly cleaning her throat, Ellie hesitantly said, “About that, Seb he kept the gown somewhere—”

“Then take that gown out of wherever somewhere is and show us,” Melissa demanded.

“Right but the problem is I don’t know where that somewhere is. So basically he hid the gown somewhere and told me he wants everyone to see it on the big day,” she explained.

Groaning in frustration, Ava scoffed, “How stingy,”

“I know right? I can imagine how great that gown must be,” Charlotte sighed.

“It’s really very beautiful,” Ellie smiled.

“Ah look at her showing off her smile and amus.e.m.e.nt, I will never forget this betrayal,” Melissa scoffed.

…..

Sebastian and Ellie’s place.

“Yes mom, everything is okay here,” Ellie sighed.

“Why do I still feel like you are hiding something from me?” Pausing for a while, Judith asked, “Is everything okay between you and Seb?”

Slumping on the couch, she smiled, “Everything is okay between us, in fact it has never been better.”

“And how are things with Sebastian’s mother, did you meet her properly in person?” When she did not say anything, Judith sighed, “Just give her some time, okay? I am sure she is going to be okay with it.”

“I hope but that hope is also diminishing day by day. I just wanted her to like me, it’s okay if she isn’t fond of me but at least she can not give me the cold treatment.”

“What about Seb’s dad?”

“His dad is super cool, I even helped him bake a pie, he is kinda nice and at least approachable,” Ellie answered.

“Don’t stress about it, everything is going to be okay. Your dad and I are coming next week, we can talk about it properly in person.”

“Yes, I cannot wait to have you both here. I want you to meet Bojo and Boji, our two little munchkins. You are gonna love them mom,” she beamed.

“Of course, let’s talk when we meet okay?” Pausing for a while, Judith added, “Your dad is here, I will talk to you later.”

“Okay, bye mom I love you.” After hanging up the call, Ellie called Sebastian to ask where he was. After their lunch meeting, Noah came back all by himself and Sebastian had been missing all afternoon. When she called him earlier, he told her he is busy over something important and will meet her at home in the evening.

Just then, Sebastian entered the apartment. Taking out his phone from his pocket, he gave Ellie a strange look. “Why are you calling me?”

Keeping the phone on the table, she answered, “I just wanted to ask where you are.”

Sitting right beside her, he placed his head on her lap. “I am right here honey, in your arms.”

Running her fingers through his hair, she asked, “Where did you go?”

“I had something to do.”

“What something?” When he hesitated for a while, she chuckled, “Why are you getting nervous? It’s not like you are cheating on me or is it?”

“Of course not, how can you even think of something like that honey? I would never do that,” he whined.

Squeezing his cheeks, she chuckled, “I was just joking, I know you would never do that.” Bending towards him, she gave him a peck on his lips. “Go freshen up first, I’ll start making dinner.”

“Can we watch a movie tonight?”

“Okay, which one do you wanna see?”

“Let’s decide together later.” Getting up, he added, “I’ll quickly freshen up and help you in the kitchen.”

After he rushed upstairs, she made her way towards the kitchen.
