Their flirtatious private chat came to an abrupt halt with Kian Sterling there.
Celia, who was easily embarrassed, stammered for a moment before feigning composure to greet him. "Brother, are you and Silas out drinking together again?"
Kian Sterling slowly swirled the glass in his hand, a faint smile on his lips. "Want to join?"
"I can't," Celia said softly. "You and Silas can carry on, then. I won't disturb you."
With that, she hastily ended the video call.
For a moment, the villa's garden fell silent.
Kian Sterling shifted into a languid posture, his bewitching features slightly blurred under the garden lights. His voice was soft.
"He seems so cold and distant, but he's quite playful with Cece in private."
Silas Norwood hummed softly. "Cece has a playful spirit. If I don't keep things interesting, some young upstart might snatch her away. After all, Kade, you've certainly broadened her horizons over the years."
