Upon hearing Rosalie’s words, Sebastian suddenly felt a pang of guilt and recalled Theodore’s earlier comments. Was he really so reliant on Rosalie for protection?Moreover, his actions today were meant to punish Theodore for being arrogant. But had he possibly made things worse? Could Theodore now be even more determined to take Rosalie back?Sebastian had only intended to teach Theodore a lesson, to curb the latter’s arrogance. If things had backfired, he would be shooting himself in the foot.Noticing Sebastian’s distracted look, Rosalie hurriedly asked, "Seb, do you feel any discomfort in other parts of your body? Tell me if there is.""No." Sebastian shook his head. "I just feel that he’s different from what I expected.""What do you mean?" Rosalie asked.Sebastian replied, "To me, he’s a stranger. I don’t remember the past, so today was my first real meeting with him. In my imagination, he was a terrible man. But now that I’ve met him, I realize he’s completely different fr
Sebastian spoke first. "Is the food to your liking?"Lily nodded. "It’s very delicious. Thank you for the hospitality.""You’re Rose’s friend, which means you’re also my friend. Of course, we’ll treat you well. However…" Sebastian paused.Lily asked, "However, what?"Sebastian put down his cutlery. "Miss Yancey, I must speak frankly. I feel like Rose has been trying very hard to give us some alone time since you arrived, as if we were very familiar with each other. Did we know each other before?"Seeing the confusion in Sebastian’s eyes, Lily was tempted to tell him the truth. However, she hesitated due to Rosalie. She wasn’t sure how to handle it.Although Sebastian had amnesia, his innate sensitivity allowed him to sense something. He asked, "Miss Yancey, if there’s something you need to tell me, please do. Don’t hide anything. You know my situation right now. I really want to know everything.""Didn’t Miss Young tell you everything?" Lily asked curiously.Sebastian smiled he
Sebastian couldn't remember it at all. Although he had amnesia, he didn't feel anything for Lily.He didn’t remember anything about Rosalie either, but he clearly remembered his feelings for her. If he truly liked Lily, wouldn’t some of those feelings still remain even if his memories were gone? Even if the feelings were gone, meeting her should still elicit some reaction.Seeing Sebastian’s confused expression, Lily quickly said, "You’re the one who lied to her. You don’t actually like me, but her. But I don’t know why you’re afraid to tell her the truth."You made up a lie about liking Lily, and I just so happened to have that name. One day, Miss Young probably wanted to see the girl you liked, so your sister brought me in as a substitute. At that time, I was also very confused about what was happening, but after thinking it over, this seems to be the case."Sebastian remained silent for a long time after hearing this. He crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and stared at
"Thank you, Miss Yancey. You're a good person. I should apologize for the trouble my lie caused you." Sebastian spoke sincerely and politely, without any pretense."It’s alright. You didn’t do it on purpose," Lily said, having a good impression of him. She felt that he was charming and made a good impression on women, whether before or after his amnesia."Regardless, it caused you some trouble. I’m glad we had a chat tonight. It cleared up some of my doubts. If there’s anything I can do to repay you, just let me know, or I’ll feel bad about it," Sebastian said. Seeing how sincere Sebastian was, Lily recalled something.Noticing her contemplative expression, Sebastian asked, "What is it? Do you want to tell me something? Go ahead.""Actually, there is one thing. During lunch at the restaurant today, I noticed that there was something off between the four of you. That Miss Zeller clearly looked down on you at first."Sebastian nodded. "I also noticed that. She seemed to have a s
From a distance, Rosalie let out a sigh of relief. She walked over slowly, and said, "Sorry, a friend called me. We haven’t been in touch for a long time, so the conversation took a while. I see you two are having a great time chatting.""Yes, Miss Yancey is a very witty person. Talking to her has made me feel much more at ease," Sebastian replied.Rosalie sat down next to Sebastian. Seeing him looking so cheerful, she felt that arranging for Lily and him to spend time alone together was indeed a good thing.Clearly, being with someone he liked made him different; he was very relaxed around Lily. Rosalie felt that they were a good match.Throughout the meal, Rosalie frequently went to the restroom or stepped outside, leaving most of the time for Sebastian and Lily to be alone together. Consequently, the dinner lasted quite a while.After the meal, Rosalie didn’t urge Lily to go home. Instead, she continued to chat with Lily.She would occasionally bring up topics for conversatio
Lily smiled faintly. "Do you really think so?"Rosalie nodded. "Yes, really.""Don’t you feel jealous? After all, you’re his wife, even if you two are…"Rosalie laughed. "What’s there to be jealous of? Don’t worry, I’m not jealous. After all, we’re not a real married couple. I actually hope he finds a girl who’s right for him. Miss Yancey, I think you’re really suitable for him. No wonder he likes you so much. When he mentioned you to me before, he was both fond and sad. I can understand his feelings; that’s what it’s like to like someone."Lily felt a bit awkward, and didn’t know how to respond to Rosalie.This silly girl! Sebastian clearly liked Rosalie, not Lily. If Sebastian liked Lily, she wouldn't have rejected him. No one could reject him—except for Rosalie."Miss Yancey?" Rosalie asked. "Is there a problem? Please let me know, and I’ll help you with it. Or are you feeling unwell?""It’s nothing," Lily said. "I just think you two are quite suitable for each other. Maybe
“I…”Lily couldn’t pinpoint her feelings. It seemed too much to say that she liked Sebastian, given that she had only met him a few times. Yet, if she said that she didn’t like Sebastian, it didn’t seem realistic. Sebastian was a very charming man, after all.A man like him was very attractive to women. What’s more, he was chivalrous with an air of graceful elegance about him despite his memory loss. Who wouldn’t want a man as wonderful as him?The hesitation in Lily’s voice made Rosalie chuckle. “You do have a bit of feelings for him, don’t you?”Lily said uneasily, “Ms. Young, I…”“Call me Rose,” Rosalie said. “Can I call you Lily? We don’t need to be strangers.”“Alright, then,” Lily said. “Rose, what I meant was that you two are still married. Regardless of the reason behind your marriage, it’s not appropriate for me to have any feelings for Mr. Carter. It’ll give me psychological pressure, too.” Rosalie felt slightly guilty at Lily’s words. “I’m very sorry. I’m at fault fo
Lily immediately straightened her back upon seeing him. “Mr. Carter, what brings you here?”Sebastian shut the door, and walked toward her. “Are you going to bed soon?”Lily shook her head. “Not yet. Is anything the matter?”“I came to see you. I saw Rose leaving your room. Did she say anything to you?”“Nothing much. She just prepared some things for me.” Lily said. She thought that telling Sebastian about her chat with Rosalie just now would surely sadden him.However, Sebastian seemed to see through Lily’s thoughts.“I think I have a clue,” Sebastian said. “Although I don’t remember everything, I can sense that something is amiss in my marriage with Rose. Otherwise, why would she try matchmaking us? She probably wants to divorce me.”Lily was at a loss for words.Sebastian lowered his head. “I must have done something bad, that’s why…”“No, Mr. Carter,” Lily assured him. “You’re great, you really are, but you didn’t tell Rose how you feel about her. What’s more, you claimed
