Chapter 391

Penulis: Night Revelations
Geoffrey smiled politely. "I have a simple request. I mainly want to meet President Harper. There’s nothing beyond that. Don't think too badly of me. Not everyone has an ulterior motive."

"Threatening my daughter-in-law with your own son, and then telling me you have no ulterior motive? Chairman Carter, we're not children or idiots, so let's not lie with our eyes wide open," Sydney snapped.

She was filled with rage. Every word she said was sharp, and she wasn’t showing Geoffrey any courtesy.

Rosalie didn't expect Sydney to be so direct, either.

Sydney turned her head, and said, "Rose, go pick out some seafood. Choose the freshest ones."

"Okay." Rosalie stood up. "You two chat first."

It seemed they had things to discuss.

The waiter led Rosalie to the seafood section. "This way, please."

All the seafood here was live, and selected on the spot.

After Rosalie left, Geoffrey discarded his polite demeanor.

Sydney's expression grew colder. "Geoffrey, what are you playing at? Do yo

    Meanwhile, Rosalie picked out the seafood.When she returned, she saw from a distance that Geoffrey and Sydney were still talking. She didn't know what they were discussing. Worried she might interrupt them by approaching them now, she sat nearby and waited.Suddenly, she remembered that she had told Sebastian last night that she would call him once she was feeling better. Now that she had some free time, she dialed Sebastian's number.Sebastian picked up immediately. "Hello, Rose.""Seb, it's me. Sorry about leaving early last night.""It's okay, it was an emergency. It wasn’t your fault. Are you feeling better now?" Sebastian asked.Rosalie responded with a hum. "I'm much better. By the way, how did it go with Miss Yancey last night? After I left, did you get along well with her?"Seeing that Sebastian remained silent, Rosalie asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you talk with her? How do you expect to win a girl's heart like this? If you really can't manage, ask Vonnie to help you. S

    Seeing how eager Rosalie was to clarify herself, it seemed she really had nothing to do with Sebastian.Sydney was an objective and fair person, and she wasn't someone who would side with family over reason. But Theodore was her son, so she was somewhat biased toward him."So that's how it is." Geoffrey nodded. "I understand. Now, I can rest assured about Sebastian getting married.""What?" Rosalie asked in confusion. "Sebastian’s getting married?"Geoffrey said, "Yes. He's not young anymore. It's time for him to settle down and start a family. I've already chosen a wife for him."Rosalie frowned. "Who is she?""A friend's daughter, whom I watched grow up. I like her a lot, and most importantly, her father and I have a good relationship and some business dealings."Hearing Geoffrey's explanation, Rosalie understood everything completely. This was an undisguised business alliance."Did Sebastian agree?" Rosalie asked."He’s the eldest son of the Carter family. This is his respo

    He should be grateful to himself for threatening others.Geoffrey noticed Rosalie's lukewarm reaction, and seemed to understand something. "I know you don't have a good impression of me, but I have a reason for everything I do. As a father, I naturally care about my son's happiness. But since he doesn't have a girlfriend now, even if I wanted to fulfill his wishes, I wouldn't have the opportunity. “I know my son. If we wait for him to get married on his own, who knows when that will be? The woman I've found for him is very nice. I believe they will be well-suited for each other once they get to know each other.""Mr. Carter, you may think they will get along well after getting to know each other, but Sebastian might not feel the same way. What if he refuses? What will you do, then?" Rosalie asked. She wanted to know what consequences Sebastian would face."So he better not refuse." Geoffrey's voice turned a bit colder. "You can also persuade him to accept my arrangement.""Me,

    Rosalie married Theodore for love and not interest, but they still got divorced. So, how was one supposed to maintain a marriage? Neither love nor interests worked. It was no wonder that more and more people were reluctant to get married, preferring to live alone for the sake of freedom and ease.Rosalie took a deep breath, and tried hard to compose herself before asking, "Sebastian is your son. Don’t you care about his happiness at all?""From what you're saying, you want him to be happy? Then tell me, what should I do to make him happy?" Geoffrey asked."Let him choose for himself," she said. "He has the right to choose the woman he wants. His marriage should be his decision, regardless of the outcome. It's his choice, not something imposed on him by others."Geoffrey slowly straightened his sleeves. "I see. Seems like you really care about him. It's a pity..." He sighed."Pity about what?" Rosalie asked.Before Geoffrey could answer, Sydney returned. "What are you two talk

    “Seb, you don't have to worry. Your father wasn't here to see me today, but my mother-in-law, the president of Apex Bank. I was just accompanying her. Nothing happened.”“Really?”“Really. If something had happened, would I still be sitting here talking to you? Don’t worry too much.”Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good. Rose, if you need to meet my father next time, let me know in advance. I didn't know about today’s meeting.”“It’s fine, Seb. Your father wouldn’t do anything outrageous to me. By the way, do you know that he…”“What about him?” Sebastian asked.Rosalie suddenly remembered that Sydney was sitting next to her, so she said, “Seb, let’s talk about it next time we meet. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I’m fine. I’m heading home now.”“Alright, call me when you get home, just so I know that you're safe.”“Okay, I will. Bye.” Rosalie hung up.She turned, and saw Sydney staring meaningfully at her.Feeling awkward, she forced herself to smile. “He call

    By the time Rosalie got home, it was already half-past one.She had promised to call Sebastian to let him know she was safe, but she didn't feel like talking, so she sent him a text message instead. [Seb, I’m home now. Don’t worry.]Sebastian replied, [Okay. I’m glad you’re home.]Rosalie sat on the sofa and started browsing the rentals that were available in for Hullbeck, the city she had chosen to stay. She would leave the day after tomorrow. Tonight, she would accompany Sydney to meet Theodore, and tomorrow, she would spend the day with her grandmother. The day after that, she would leave.Rosalie quietly planned out what she would do once she got there. She would buy some books to read during her pregnancy. After she gave birth, she would pursue her graduate studies.Although she was divorced, Rosalie still thought that she was quite lucky. At least she didn’t have to worry about money. She had shares in SK Enterprise and plenty of cash in her account.She was a thrifty p

    The Carter Residence.Geoffrey was in his precious collection room and taking a photo out of a hidden compartment. The photo was quite old. On it was a young woman, beautiful and smiling brightly.Geoffrey sighed. He stroked the woman's face in the photo gently, murmuring to himself, “Sydney, why did you have to go back? What’s so good about that man?”Outside the door, the butler's voice could be heard. “Sir, there was a call from Madam. She said she won’t be coming back tonight.”Geoffrey frowned. He turned around and said, “Tell her that Sebastian’s getting married. She should come back quickly to prepare. After our son’s wedding, she can go wherever she wants.”“Understood,” Phillip said, and then another voice came from outside. “Is my father inside?”“Mr. Sebastian, you’re back. Mr. Geoffrey is inside. Do you need anything?”Sebastian knocked on the door. “Dad, I need to talk to you.” Geoffrey put the photo back nicely, locked the hidden compartment, and opened the doo

    Sebastian's face stiffened, and he shifted his gaze away. "I don't."He didn’t dare to admit it, because he was afraid it would implicate Rosalie. When he was in elementary school, he was very close to a girl. Both of them had been children, and they innocently expressed their liking for each other. However, his father found out about it. Soon, the girl was sent away, and he never saw her again. His father didn’t allow him to like anyone. Everything had to be arranged by him. From that moment, Sebastian never dared to admit to his father that he liked someone. He was afraid his father would act again."No? If that's the case, then you don't need to marry Rosalie. Since you don't like her, there's no need for me to match you two up. I don’t want to force you. You can go now."Geoffrey seemed impatient as he brushed past Sebastian.The more Sebastian thought about it, the more something felt off. He followed Geoffrey. "What exactly do you mean? This has nothing to do with Rose.

    Theodore and Rosalie brought both children to Justin's tomb.Before they left, Rosalie said that she and Chelsea wanted to spend some time alone with Justin.Theodore brought Jake to the car to wait for them.Golden sunlight shone on the land, feeling warm and toasty and giving the earth a beautiful glow.Rosalie caressed the tombstone.

"That's because you're always by my side, which is why I think that I can bring you everywhere I go. You're not just here at this tombstone."Justin, Theo and I have reconciled. He did so much for me, even sacrificing his own life for me. I can't just stand idly by and do nothing about it.

    Jake had so much fun today and was exhausted by the time he reached home. After his shower, he crawled into bed and fell right asleep without any coaxing whatsoever. Jake would sometimes sleep in the bedroom with Chelsea, and sometimes they slept separately.At night, when Rosalie went to Chelsea's room to tuck her in and tell her a bedtime story, she asked, "Chelsea, how was your day with Theodore?""Hmm, it was alright," Chelsea said. "But Mr. Spencer was so silly, he burnt the food. I only got to eat lunch very late.""Is that so?" Rosalie burst out laughing. "How silly of him indeed.""But Mr. Spencer is quite nice," Chelsea said. "I like him. He said that I can call him Daddy."Rosalie's eyes lit up. "Do you want to call him that?""I do," Chelsea said with a nod, "but I'll do that tomorrow."Chelsea yawned. She felt tired, too.Rosalie caressed her cheek. "Goodnight, my darling. Go to sleep."-Rosalie returned to her room, took a shower, and laid on the bed. Theodo

    Their parent-child bonding efforts officially began the next day.Rosalie brought Jake to the theme park. In the beginning, Jake felt rather stiff and reserved. It was his first time alone with his mom, after all.As time went by, Rosalie's earnestness, concern, and gentle patience with him slowly opened him up.They sat on the carousel, drove the bumper cars, rode on the Viking ship, zoomed down slides, bounced on the trampolines, and sailed on mini-boats. They had a whale of a time.Jake was covered with sweat, but he was so happy, he didn't want the day to end.He had grown closer to his mom, so much so that he would jump into her arms, hugging her and asking for kisses.Rosalie did not hold back from expressing her love for him and even carried him on her back as they continued exploring the park.Jake was very obedient and came down very soon, for fear that Rosalie might get tired. They moved on to the next attraction hand-in-hand.Rosalie found out one thing from Jake, wh

    Some time later, Rosalie realized that Jake was being rather sullen.Each time she asked him whether something was wrong, he would brush her away, claiming that he was fine before running off.It was a Saturday, and Rosalie didn't need to go to work. She was seated on the couch with a book when Chelsea ran over, her braids swaying behind her. "Mommy, can you give me a hug?"How could Rosalie say no to her adorable little daughter? She shut the book and said, "But of course. Come on over."Rosalie opened her arms, very willing to show Chelsea affection.Chelsea crawled up onto the couch happily, sitting on Rosalie's lap and diving into her embrace.Jake happened to see it all.Rosalie noticed Jake standing a short distance away and was about to say something to him when he ran off.The smile on Rosalie's face faded as a look of worry took over.At night, Rosalie put Chelsea under Theodore's care and went to Jake, wanting to speak to him alone."Jake, what's with you recently

    A gentle breeze lifted the curtains slightly in the deep of the night.Rosalie laid in Theodore's embrace, panting slightly. Her cheek leaned against his chest, feeling his heart pounding heavily, and her cheeks flushed.She never expected this day to come between her and Theodore, yet everything happened in a flash. He went to bed with her just like that, bewitched and completely infatuated with her.Although they were once husband and wife and had been intimate countless times, this felt different from the last. Things felt more intense this time around."Rose, are you happy?"Although Theodore's liver had been doing well over the last three months of recuperation, he was still worried that his fitness level might be affected before his liver was fully recovered.Rosalie gave him a slight smile. "Of course, I am. You almost crushed me."Her face flushed the moment she spoke those words. She hugged Theodore tight, feeling safe and secure.She could sense that he was telling th

    "Theo, have you had a woman over the past five years?" Rosalie asked very frankly.They weren't naive young men and women but mature adults with experience in this matter.Theodore was a red-blooded young man who had his needs. Suppressing his desires, which were absolutely normal, would only jeopardize his health.Theodore was getting angry. "Am I someone like that to you, going to bed with a woman I don't love just to satisfy my physical needs?""Aren't men all like that?" Rosalie said. She didn't mean it in a scornful way but simply highlighted it as a typical observation.Lonely men and women in the city were bound to seek companionship in some places and part ways after the night.Someone as powerful and influential as Theodore wouldn't even need to go searching for someone else. Women flocked toward him like bees to honey."Why can't I be an exception?" He was in no state whatsoever to find another woman over the past five years and would always deal with his sexual desire

    Time flew by, and three months later, Rosalie was fully recovered and back at work.Her colleagues welcomed her back with a bash.Everything seemed to have returned to normal.To keep Jake company, Rosalie would go back to Theodore's house every day after work. She was practically living there.Rosalie and Jake's relationship had improved over time, and they were looking more and more like they were truly mother and son.Everything was going well.At night, the four of them sat around the dining table and chatted happily with each other.After dinner, Rosalie and Theodore sat in the living room chatting. She suddenly noticed a book on the table. It looked so familiar that it caught her eye.It was the book she had written. Over the past five years, not only was she busy learning and working, but she also managed to write the book she had conceptualized and even gotten it published. However, this book was only available in Briusian and not exported to Blencalgo.Rosalie's book
