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
Rosalie pulled her phone out when she returned to her room.She had received an email from Christopher when she was in Lily’s room. He had sent information regarding the overseas medical institution to her inbox.She was about to click the email open when someone knocked on her door. “Rose, it’s me. May I come in?”Rosalie put her phone aside. “Sure, come in please.”Sebastian walked in, and asked, “Rose, what happened to you tonight? Do you feel unwell? Why were you so quiet?”“I’m not unwell,” Rosalie said. “I saw you and Ms. Yancey chatting very happily, so I didn’t cut in.”“Are you upset?” Sebastian asked anxiously. “If so, I’ll ignore her from now on.”The frightened look on Sebastian’s face tickled Rosalie pink. He looked pretty adorable.“Seb, I’m not upset. In fact, I feel very happy that you and Ms. Yancey get along so well. I’m very glad about that. If you two have the time, you should meet up regularly. I’m perfectly fine with that.”Rosalie was so open-minded, it
The evasion in Rosalie’s eyes made Sebastian nod, not wanting to put her in a difficult spot. “Alright, then. Have a good rest.”Rosalie nodded. “You too.”The moment she said so, she felt a warm kiss descend upon her lips.Rosalie’s eyes widened as shocked registered in them. Her arms were by her side, stiff as stone.Just when she was about to push Sebastian away, he broke the kiss.Rosalie’s eyes were still wide open. Sebastian lifted a hand, and poked her nose lightly. “What’s the matter? You look like I’m taking advantage of you, but I’m your husband. You won’t hit me for this, will you?”Rosalie smiled weakly, “No, I won’t. It was just somewhat sudden, so I was a bit stunned.”“You look as though we’ve never kissed. Did I use to inform you beforehand before I kissed you?”Rosalie nodded. “You did.”She didn’t know what else to say.“Alright, then. Next time I want to kiss you, I’ll let you know. But sometimes, I might just give you a little surprise.” Sebastian wrappe
There was lots of information in the document. Rosalie read it very thoroughly, making sure she understood every word. Some of the terminologies were very technical, and she had to go online to search them up. The minutes ticked by, but she was so engrossed she was oblivious to the passing time. By the time she was done with the entire document, the sky was turning bright. Rosalie was completely fatigued. She yawned, then got out of bed to freshen herself up in the washroom.She had finished reading the entire document, and thought that the medical institute’s treatment approach was not bad and might be of great help to Sebastian. What’s more, his uncle was a careful man and wouldn’t make hasty recommendations to her. He had surely done his homework and checked things through.The only thing was that the medical institution was overseas, and the treatment duration would certainly not be a matter of mere days.Rosalie was a little woozy; she laid back down on the bed, completely
It really was surveillance footage from that day at the restaurant. It clearly showed how Theodore didn’t use any force, and simply shook Sebastian’s hand away.When Sebastian saw Rosalie behind Theodore, he deliberately fell backward and even hit the wall. The footage clearly showed how Sebastian did it deliberately, and it wasn’t Theodore who pushed him.The footage even caught the provocative and smug smirk on Sebastian’s face when Rosalie blamed Theodore for the incident. It was a thoroughly wicked expression.Sebastian’s heart raced as anxiety flashed past his eyes. That damned Theodore really was a thorn in his flesh!‘No way,’ Sebastian thought. He couldn’t let Rosalie see this message. If she did, things would be terrible.He wanted to delete the message and pretend nothing had happened, but on second thought, it wasn’t a good idea.A man like Theodore would find all ways to pester Rosalie and bug her about this issue. If she found out someone had deleted the messages,
“Rose, can you first promise me that even if you get angry at me after I tell you about it, you won’t leave me? I’ll change. I know I did wrong, and it’s been eating away at my conscience.”“Seb, quick, tell me what this is about,” Rosalie said.She felt increasingly uneasy the more Sebastian spoke about it. She wasn’t worried about the wrong he did, but that he would fall ill from keeping his feelings to himself.Sebastian wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with the napkin. “I had a fight with Theodore yesterday at the restaurant.”Rosalie nodded. “I know. It’s not your fault. I’m sure it was him who bullied you. He’s done it many times, and even fought with you before. I know it’s not your fault, so don’t blame yourself for it.”“No, I do blame myself for it. Rose, hear me out, won’t you?”Rosalie nodded. “I will. Take your time and tell me about it. I’m listening.”“After the meal yesterday, you left for a short while. The woman with Theodore left, too. Theodore and
