Chapter 349

Author: Night Revelations
Before she could send the text, a call came in. It was a foreign-looking number.

Rosalie answered the call. “Hello?”

A mature-sounding voice of a middle-aged man greeted her. “Ms. Young, it’s me.”

The voice sounded very familiar, from someone she just heard today. It was clearly Sebastian’s father, Geoffrey.

Rosalie’s mind buzzed. “Mr. Carter?”

Geoffrey’s voice sounded peaceful and courteous, a stark contrast from how cold he had sounded when talking to Sebastian.

Rosalie thought she must have heard him wrongly. Why did Sebastian’s father sound so calm and kind?

Geoffrey seemed to have sensed her surprise over his sudden call, and explained leisurely, “Don’t worry. I’m not calling to reprimand you.”

Doubtful, Rosalie asked, “How may I help you, then?”

“Is Sebastian still with you?”

“He’s left. The moment he received your call, he went off to work.” Then she added, “He’s very hardworking and very outstanding, for that matter.”

“It seems you regard him highly,” Geoffrey said l

    “You’re not as insignificant as you claim to be. Since you know President Harper, why don’t you introduce us? Skycrest might need to take a loan or two in the future,” said Geoffrey. Rosalie finally understood the reason behind his call today. It was none other than for corporate interest.“To be honest, Mr. Carter, I’m sure an enterprise as outstanding as Skycrest would have many banks fighting to give it a loan. There’s no need for you to look for a bank, not to mention asking someone insignificant like me for help on that,” Rosalie said firmly. For someone like Geoffrey Carter to look her up for an introduction with a bank president, something fishy must be going on. There was clearly an unknown reason behind this—one that Geoffrey would certainly refuse to say.“That’s true,” Geoffrey said, “but the choice always goes both ways. There’s no loss in getting to know the president of a bank. Could you help me out, in light of the fact that I didn’t punish my son on your account t

    After a moment’s silence, Rosalie finally said, “I can’t guarantee anything, but I’ll ask.”“In that case, Ms. Young, I can’t guarantee anything too. It seems we both need to work harder on this. I have something else to attend to, and I need to go. I hope to receive good news from you.”With that, Geoffrey hung up.Rosalie tightened her grip over her phone.Geoffrey was way too vicious! How could he bear to do this and use Sebastian as leverage when Sebastian was his biological son?But she shouldn’t find it strange. The world was filled with all kinds of people, and not all parents were fit to be one. A bastard would remain a bastard even after becoming a parent. He wouldn’t suddenly become a great man or a hero after having a child.After a moment’s hesitation, Rosalie had no choice but to scroll to Sydney’s contact and dial the number. Sydney answered the call after over ten seconds.“Hello, Mom. It’s me.”“What’s the matter?” Sydney’s voice was icy. Although they weren’t

    After leaving Rosalie’s house, Sebastian buried himself in work.Geoffrey arranged many appointments for him, forcing him to run around many places. He didn’t even have time for a sip of water till deep in the night. By the time he returned home, he was exhausted and collapsed weakly on the couch.Sometimes, the strictness his father displayed made him wonder if he really was that man’s biological son. But given the same blood type they shared and how closely he resembled his father, it seemed like an indisputable fact.What a cold, heartless father he had.As it turned out, cold-blooded creatures could reproduce, too.“Seb, you’re back.” Yvonne walked downstairs, and saw the fatigue on her brother’s face.Sebastian’s brows furrowed. “Why are you here?”“I’m staying here right now. Didn’t I tell you before that I wanted to stay here for some time? I don’t want to go home. Dad’s super strict, and I’m scared of him,” Yvonne said, intertwining her fingers with each other.Sebast

    “You do have a friend by the name of Lily, don’t you?” Sebastian smiled, knowing that he had a hold over Yvonne.Yvonne swallowed hard. She straightened her body, and said seriously, “No, I don’t.”He arched a brow, and was about to put his card away when she grabbed his wrist. “But I can make her up!”She stretched her hands out, and carefully pulled his black card from his fingers. She wrapped her arms tightly around it, for fear that her brother would snatch it back.Then, she blew him a flying kiss. “See you, Seb! I’ll be off to find you a Lily!”-In the middle of the night, Rosalie felt thirsty and got out of bed for a cup of water.She felt restless and irritable, with many things on her mind. The matter regarding Sebastian bothered her the most. She couldn’t tell him about it, and had to settle the matter behind his back.This whole thing concerned his father, after all.Rosalie chuckled helplessly over the irony of the situation.What an outrageous situation she

    Sebastian texted, [I hope you’ll like her.]Rosalie texted, [Whether I like her or not isn’t important. What’s important is that you do.][Yes, I do. She might not be good enough in other people’s eyes, but in my opinion, she’s different and better than anyone else,] he replied.Rosalie felt warmth seep into her heart.Sebastian was such a great man! Any woman who married him would be blessed. She even started to feel envious of the woman he liked.However, it stopped at just simply envy. She genuinely felt happy for Sebastian as well as the lady he fancied.As fatigue finally set in, Rosalie yawned. After chatting with Sebastian, she felt a lot more relaxed.[Seb, turn in early so you’ll be at your best tomorrow.][Yes, you too. You and your baby need a good rest. Help me say hello to your baby.][Sure. Goodnight.][Goodnight.]Rosalie gently caressed her belly. “Baby, do you feel that? Uncle Sebastian cares about you very much.”She was about to put her phone down when sh

    Wesley asked solemnly, “Why did you suddenly ask me where she is? Are you unable to find her? What happened to her?”Rosalie had never texted Wesley about Sydney. This was her first time, and it was clearly an unusual occurrence.Wesley knew that something was wrong.Fearing she might worry him, Rosalie immediately said, “No, I’m just asking casually. I don’t mean anything else.”“Then why are you asking me? Why don’t you just call her directly?”“I tried that, but she didn’t answer my call.”“Is that so?”Wesley immediately hung up without a word. Rosalie was puzzled. After two minutes, he called her back.She answered the call. “Hey, Dad.”“Where are you right now?” Wesley asked.“I’m in my apartment. What’s going on?”“I called your mom but she didn’t answer me, either. I called her office, and her assistant said she’s not in the office today.”“What’s going on?” Rosalie was worried. “Where could Mom have gone?”“How would I know?” Wesley said anxiously. “Go to her plac

    Sydney answered the call, yelling irritably, “Wesley Spencer, you’re beyond annoying! Can’t you take a hint when I refuse to pick up your calls? Quit harassing me and scram!”With that, she hung up and smashed her phone against the wall.Rosalie took a few steps back in fright. She had never seen Sydney blow her top like this, and didn’t understand what was going on. She had a feeling that it had to do with her, somehow.Despite her fear, Rosalie didn't leave. Instead, she stood from a distance and looked on silently.The phone was on the floor, the screen cracked. The chairs in the room laid haphazardly around the room, and there were glass shards from the wine bottles all over the floor.Sydney was already acting up before Rosalie arrived.Sydney clutched her hair in frustration, and flopped weakly onto the bed. She grabbed the covers, and yanked them over her head.Rosalie pulled out her phone and placed it on the table. She then rolled up her sleeves, and started clearing th

    After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney fell silent.Her first thought was that Theodore was in trouble.As it turned out, Rosalie stayed up the entire night reading through the documents to identify the problem with Regent Co. not for his sake at all. Quite the opposite—she did it for Sebastian.Sydney suddenly laughed, the sound laced with helplessness and irony.Theodore wasn’t the only one who misunderstood the situation. She did, too. She really thought that Rosalie did it for her son, but she never expected…Rosalie clearly had her priorities in place, more so than Sydney did in her younger days. The girl might look weak and vulnerable, but she had a clear mind and knew exactly what she needed to do.Meanwhile, Rosalie didn’t understand why Sydney was laughing. “Mom? What’s the matter?” “Nothing,” Sydney said, looking at Rosalie. “So Geoffrey Carter threatened you with his son, and you accepted it because you care about his son very soon?”“Seb’s a good friend of mine,” Rosali

    Sebastian carried Rosalie out of the washroom. Her knees were both slightly red.He put her on the bed, his thumb rubbing the corners of her lips. He smiled and whispered into her ear, "Did that taste good?"Rosalie flipped to her side, her back facing him.Sebastian kissed her shoulder as a wicked look flashed past his eyes. He dove into the sheets, moving lower and lower.Rosalie knew what was about to happen and tried to struggle, but he pinned both of her legs down.Everything that happened after that felt torturous.Rosalie didn't even know when it ended.When it finally did, her cheeks were flushed and she sobbed silently while biting on her fingers.Sebastian emerged from the sheets and pulled her into his arms."Darling, why are you crying?" he coaxed her as he patted her back. "Don't cry. Did I hurt you?"Rosalie held her tears back and turned her face away, but Sebastian forcefully twisted her head back.His lips crooked wickedly. "Look how red your cheeks are. Wel

    When it was past three in the afternoon and the weather wasn't so hot, Sebastian brought Rosalie out for a stroll.Although Veloso's industry and economy were underdeveloped, the natural scenery wasn't bad.Sebastian brought Rosalie to many places.Throughout the entire time, she didn't say much, simply letting him hold her hand.When they stood at the seaside, Sebastian hugged her from behind and kissed her neck, whispering sweet nothings into her ear.He also brought her to a sea of flowers. He hugged her as they lay on the flower bed, making her kiss him.Sebastian was enjoying every moment of it.At night, he booked the most luxurious restaurant to have dinner with Rosalie. The two of them sat by the window.Throughout the meal, Rosalie hardly responded to him. Eventually, Sebastian put down his fork and said, "Rose, don't be so grouchy. Give me a smile, won't you?"He was as patient as he could with her. However, there was a limit to his patience.Rosalie looked up at Se

    Sebastian shut his eyes, savoring the kiss. He wrapped an arm around her waist and deepened the kiss, but he didn't take over control from Rosalie and simply enjoyed the feeling of her taking the initiative to kiss him. However, she didn't kiss him for too long. It was a simple kiss and nothing fancy, where she just let her lips touch his for a while before letting him go.Rosalie looked at Sebastian, as if asking with her eyes whether that would do.Sebastian wasn't exactly pleased with the kiss.However, the empty look in her eyes made him soften his stance.He picked up his phone, covered her eyes, and unlocked the screen with a code before retrieving a video of Steve.He took the video when he was previously taking care of Steve. Although Steve was biologically Theodore's child, he was way too adorable and Sebastian truly adored him. That was why he took many photos of him.He clicked on the first video and showed it to Rosalie. It lasted over a minute and showed Steve sitt

    The delighted look on Sebastian's face made Rosalie look away. No matter how handsome he was, the sight of his face made her retch.Sebastian spooned food onto her plate and said, "Rose, I know you like this cuisine. I had all the ingredients air-flown here and they are as fresh as they can be. Just tell me what you want to eat and I'll have the kitchen prepare it for you. You need to take care of your health."He held her shoulders. "I want to fatten you up. Be good and eat up."He urged her tenderly, but this tenderness was only temporary. If she were to resist, he would immediately turn violent and hurt her.Rosalie picked up a spoon and stuffed the food in her mouth. She wolfed everything down, hoping that lunch would come to an end soon."Be good, eat slowly," Sebastian said as he caressed her hair like she was a child. "Don't choke, my heart will ache if you do. These are all for you. You can eat as much as you like. If it's not enough, I'll have the kitchen cook more."The

    "Well, Rose? Have you come round yet? Do you want me to send someone to kill your son, or will you submit to me obediently, listen to me, and behave yourself? Instead of trying to kill or harm yourself."Sebastian tried to make himself look as gentle and tender as he could be, as if he were patiently negotiating with Rosalie. In truth, this was nothing like a negotiation. Rosalie basically had no choice."How do you want me to submit to you?" she asked in a hoarse voice.The video of Steve woke her up. Not only was she Justin's lover, but she was also a mother. She couldn't stand idly by watching Steve get into trouble. She couldn't neglect her son's safety because of the misery she was in.Sebastian smiled, finally satisfied. "I just want you to listen to me and stay by my side. Don't act like a living corpse and cooperate when in bed with me."Sebastian spoke as though he was talking about things as simple and intuitive as eating and drinking.A simple word from the devil was

    Sebastian's head was still throbbing. He drank a lot last night also because he wanted to drown his sorrows.He stared at the woman on the bed, the look in her eyes empty like a lifeless doll.Sebastian gently caressed her hair and stood up to walk to the washroom.When he returned last night, he went to bed straight away without showering.He brushed his teeth and took a shower in the washroom. After he was done, he wiped himself dry and returned to the bed, wrapping Rosalie in his arms once more."Darling, things have come to this point and you can't change anything. You should just accept things the way they are. This country is quite beautiful. Let me take you out for a walk."His voice was very gentle, like a lover mumbling words of affection.Rosalie didn't respond to him, as if she were a corpse.Sebastian went on, "Do you want to be tied to the bed, unable to move your entire life? How long are you going to be stubborn like this? Darling, let me wash you up and brush yo

    Rosalie felt her body being flipped over as Sebastian pressed his body against hers.The smell of alcohol made her feel nauseous.She wanted to shove him away, but her hands were tied up and she couldn't move them.Sebastian cupped her face in his hands and planted hot kisses on her cheeks. His lips landed on a swollen area.Rosalie winced in pain.Sebastian could feel the swell on Rosalie's face through his lips. He opened his eyes and realized that almost half of Rosalie's face was swollen. There was even an imprint of a palm on her cheek.He had slapped her very hard this morning because she angered him. He lost control and hit her.Rosalie's skin was tender and certainly couldn't withstand his force. Her cheeks were now badly swollen.Although Sebastian was drunk, he was still conscious. Remorse filled his eyes as he cried, "Rose, you really shouldn't have angered me at that time. If you didn't, I wouldn't have hit you."He poked her cheek gently with a finger. "See, it's

    In the deep of the night, the curtains fluttered in the cold wind.The moon shone like silver outside the window and into a bedroom in the villa. The weak moonlight danced in the darkness, reflecting a dim blue shadow in the room. Branches swayed outside the window, making a rustling sound.Rosalie lay on the bed, her face pale as a sheet and her eyes bloodshot and swollen, reflecting the fatigue she was feeling inside.The look in her eyes was empty and hopeless, like a sole boat wandering in the endless night, void of direction and hope.The bedside lamp shone a gentle light, lighting up her haggard features. The shadows in the dim room accentuated the loneliness etched on her face.The night was quiet except for the rustling wind and the heartless ticking of time. The silence in Rosalie's heart, however, was deafening.Her breathing gradually became labored as she lay on the bed, hopelessness filling her eyes. She looked like a lone spirit roaming the darkness.The door ope

    Rosalie smirked. "Is that so?"She knew Sebastian was the one in denial. She was sure he felt furious and indignant, and was just feigning confidence to cover up the unease he was feeling."Sebastian Carter, I curse you to never find happiness! I'd rather be torn to pieces than fall in love with a man like you. I curse you to never find love!"Sebastian smacked Rosalie's face hard. He slapped her so hard, she felt dizzy and collapsed on the bed. Her tender cheeks swelled up immediately.His hand trembled after the slap, still left handing in the air. He looked at his palm as shock, disbelief, guilt, regret and all sorts of conflicted feelings flashed past the depths of his eyes.Rosalie didn't have much of a reaction. She simply lay on the bed expressionlessly, as though she were dead and completely void of emotions.Sebastian clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "Rose, you shouldn't be talking to me like this. You shouldn't be angering me. Don't think that just because I lo
