Sebastian already knew Leo and their parents were hiding something from him, but it still hurt a little bit when he found them meeting secretly in his father's study, hours after dinner. He had walked in on them talking before, only for them to stop when they saw him. He had even tried teasing Leo into telling him what they were talking about, but he had turned to an iceberg and almost shut down completely.
Sebastian forced a smile and nodded at Ace and another guard who were guarding the study, then turned around and headed for the stairs.
