"Vonnie, let me ask you something.""What's up?""Is it that obvious that I...like her?"Yvonne, the cheeky girl, figured it out in a heartbeat. Was she just too sharp, or was he too eager?"Are you kidding? You think you're being subtle?" Yvonne shot back."I'm asking you, okay? No need to flip out on me." Sebastian furrowed his brow. "Just answer my question."Yvonne replied, "Yep, you're as clear as day. One glance, and I could tell there was something off between you two.""Something off between us?" Sebastian propped his chin on the table edge. Then, he turned around, his expression somewhat awkward. "So, do you think it's just me who's off, or..."He paused, looking a bit embarrassed, but there was an urgency to know the answer.Yvonne had never seen her brother so flustered in all her years. It turned out that even the mighty CEO of Skycrest Enterprise could be at a loss when he liked a woman."It's just you," Yvonne replied bluntly, knowing exactly what Sebastian was asking. "C
"Of course," Yvonne said, trying to please him as she hooked her arm around his. "My dear brother, you're so handsome and charming. You know how many women like you, right? You're not oblivious to that." "If it's not the one I want, what's the use even if there are ten thousand?" Sebastian sighed desolately. "What I want, I can't have. So, it's all meaningless." Seeing Sebastian sighing like that, Yvonne comforted him. "You're feeling down right at the beginning, which isn't like you at all. Don't worry. Your little sister will cheer you up!" Sebastian turned his head away. "Are you saying you really support me?" "Of course, you're my brother. Why wouldn't I support you?" "Even if she's been married before and is carrying another man's child, you don't think there's anything wrong with that?" Sebastian himself certainly didn't think there was anything wrong. He didn't have outdated, closed-off thinking, but he didn't expect his family to be as open-minded. "So what? You l
"An eye-opener, huh? There's still plenty for you to learn in this world," Theodore muttered angrily. "Tell Rose I'm waiting downstairs for her. My patience is wearing thin, and I don't mind making a scene."Without waiting for a response, Theodore hung up the phone.Sebastian gritted his teeth in frustration, his eyes flashing with icy fury. Theodore was behaving in such an unreasonable manner. There must be something wrong with his brain!Theodore was already here, and Sebastian couldn't keep it from Rosalie. She had the right to know.What Rosalie hated the most was being lied to. Theodore had already deceived her enough, and Sebastian couldn't deceive her like Theodore did.-Meanwhile, Rosalie was in a daze and half-asleep. When she heard Sebastian mention Theodore's arrival, all her drowsiness vanished and she sat up abruptly in bed.She opened the door to find Sebastian standing outside."Rose, stay in your room. I'll go down and send him away," Sebastian said, clarifyin
Theodore narrowed his eyes and snapped coldly, "And how is it appropriate for you to be here?! Don't forget, you're still a married woman!""Don't forget, we're getting divorced tomorrow," Rosalie retorted."It's today, not tomorrow," Theodore snapped back.He grabbed the iron gate, causing it to rattle. Rosalie instinctively took a few steps back, her face filled with fear.Seeing the fear in her eyes, Theodore realized he had frightened her. He softened his tone, and released the gate. "As long as we're not divorced yet, you're still Mrs. Spencer. What would people say about you staying overnight at another man's place?""Seriously?" Rosalie scoffed. "And what about you?! You’re a married man, but when another woman calls you, you rush to accompany her and stay out all night. What does that make you?""That's different. Cindy was sick, I had to go to the hospital! What about you and Sebastian? I bet you two have been fooling around for ages!"Rosalie's heart skipped a beat,
Rosalie was almost fuming from Theodore's domineering attitude. He could spend time with Cynthia, but she couldn't stay overnight at a friend's place? What a joke!"Theodore, I'm not going back. If you want to go back, go yourself. We're getting divorced tomorrow, so don't think you can control me."She was fed up with this man controlling her emotions."Open the door."Theodore was like a volcano about to erupt, its molten lava underneath gathering immense force and reaching its critical point.Naturally, Rosalie didn't dare to open the door. She was afraid Theodore would burst in. Instead, she looked at him anxiously."Theodore, please don't force me, okay? Look at us now. What's the point of doing this? Even if I go back tonight, we'll still get divorced tomorrow!"Theodore raised his foot and kicked the iron gate hard. "Open the door!" From afar, Sebastian noticed something was wrong. He immediately walked over."Theodore, don't pick on Rose! Haven't you tormented her e
Sebastian knew that Rosalie was only saying these things because she was desperate, not out of malice. He could sense that the person most hurt by her words was herself.Theodore’s eyes were almost bloodshot with barely contained rage, but suddenly, he started laughing. “Hahaha! Rosalie, you’ve made yourself out to be the victim here. It’s like you’re accusing me of cheating, but you’ve been with this man all along. You have no right to stand here crying and acting all innocent in front of me!”Rosalie could feel his heartless words stabbing her right in the chest. She was in so much pain that she could barely breathe.Sebastian was furious. Theodore was a complete bastard! He wanted to punch him or at least yell at Theodore, but he knew that arguing now would solve nothing. Everyone was too angry, and it would only make things worse for Rosalie.So, Sebastian held back. Instead, he grasped Rosalie’s hand to comfort her.Rosalie wiped the tears from her eyes, and smiled calmly
Rosalie sneered, "Do you think this is fair to Cynthia? She’s waiting in the hospital, hoping you’ll divorce me. You promise her every time, but you keep breaking your word. Have you ever thought about how she feels? How can you be with her if you don’t divorce me?”“Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything with Cindy,” Theodore said nonchalantly, adjusting his sleeve. “Even if I don’t divorce you, I can still have a wedding with Cindy. As for you and me, our marriage is just in name only. You can stay alone, while Cindy and I go on with our lives.”“Theodore, you’re despicable,” Sebastian seethed, his anger boiling over. “You’re hurting both Rose and Cynthia. You’re a real bastard!”“Yes, I'm a bastard!” Theodore's eyes were cold, and he let out a mocking laugh. “Things are already this way, so what's the worst that can happen now?"He straightened up, his voice turning icy. “Rosalie, since you don’t want to come back with me, stay here. Don’t bother going to the clerk's office tomorro
Rosalie walked slowly towards Theodore’s car and got into the passenger seat. Theodore glanced at her coldly, his expression hard and unyielding.“Put your seatbelt on,” he commanded icily.Usually, he might have buckled it for her. But this time, he only reminded her. Their relationship had long since spiraled into a deep abyss.Rosalie numbly fastened her seatbelt and slumped against the seat, staring at the rearview mirror. In it, she saw the solitary figure of Sebastian standing in the darkness, filled with worry.Closing her eyes in pain, Rosalie turned her head away.Sebastian stood still until the sports car disappeared from view. He didn’t move an inch.Footsteps approached from behind. Yvonne, half-asleep, walked over. She rubbed her messy hair, and looked at Sebastian in confusion.“Why are you outside? What happened?”She had been sleeping soundly when she heard some commotion. Coming downstairs, she found the large gate open. She saw Sebastian standing outside, star
