“To put it simply, I’m researching using deep learning technologies to implement smarter and more precise autonomous driving systems,” Yerick explained. Rosalie sat stunned for a few moments before saying, “It sounds very complicated.”Yerick nodded. “It is, because it involves the entire process of gathering and preprocessing data, model building and training, as well as actual application and testing.”Rosalie was very interested to hear more. “Sounds extremely impressive. Yerry, you’re really very smart. The future of scientific progress rests on your shoulders.”Yerick scratched his head, feeling slightly embarrassed. “Rose, I feel shy hearing you say that of me. There are many smart people out there.”“You’re so humble, Yerry. Can I take a look at your thesis after you’re done with it?”“Of course. If you don’t find it boring, you’ll be the first I show it to once I’m done.”Seeing the two of them chatting so excitedly made Sebastian’s face grow cold and dark with disple
Yerick said every word sincerely, as if he was trying very hard to prove his innocence.Rosalie felt slightly awkward. “Yerry, I’ve never doubted you. Please don’t take it to heart.”“I know you don’t doubt me, but your husband doesn’t seem to like me very much. Did I do something wrong?”Uneasiness filled Yerick’s eyes, making him look like a deer caught in the headlights, on the verge of tears. Sebastian sneered. “Do you expect me to like you?”Yerick made it sound as though he was in the wrong for not liking him as much as Rosalie did. Where did he get that audacity from?“I didn’t mean that,” Yerick explained anxiously. “Please don’t be mad at me. I’m just here to visit Rose, nothing else. If I’m making you upset, I’ll leave right away.”Yerick covered his mouth, feeling indignant. He stood up to leave, an anxious look on his face.Rosalie grabbed Yerick’s arm, and said anxiously, “Yerry, don’t be mad. You’re not making us upset.”“Really?” Yerick looked pitifully at Rosa
Rosalie’s anger was appeased upon seeing Sebastian backing down.She turned to say to Yerick, “Yerry, I’m sorry. Seb has become more cautious now, and doesn’t mean any harm. Don’t count it against him.”“It’s fine, Rose. I won’t count it against him. He’s just worried about you, and I can understand that. You’re husband and wife, after all. He surely wouldn’t be happy seeing you with another man by your side.”Yerick was forgiving and magnanimous in his reply, clearly showing that he wasn’t upset while being understanding that Sebastian simply cared much about Rosalie. However, he seemed to be hinting at something.Sebastian clenched his fists, catching the underlying meaning that Yerick was hinting at.Was Yerick trying to insinuate that he was petty?Rosalie glanced at Sebastian, suddenly at a loss for words.Theodore infuriated him, and so did Yerick.Who did she know that wouldn’t make him mad? Was he going to get jealous with every single person of the opposite gender sh
“Yerry, what do you like to eat?” Rosalie asked.Yerick said, “I’m good with anything. I’ll have anything you’re having, Rose. But you’re going for an operation tomorrow. You should have something lighter.”His thoughtful words brought a warm smile toward Rosalie’s face. “I can just eat as I normally do. It doesn’t need to be too light on taste.”Sebastian smiled as well. “Have a good chat, you two. I’ll head out to have someone prepare dinner. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure both of you are well-fed.”With that, Sebastian left the ward.When he reached the door, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he stood at the door and waited to see if that rascal would talk bad about him.However, after eavesdropping for a while, he realized that Yerick didn’t talk bad about him and only chatted idly with Rosalie.Yerick Zeller was adept at being pretentious at such a young age.Who was he trying to fool with that innocent look of his? Only Rosalie was foolish enough to trust him.‘Just you
After a while, the police left.Sebastian immediately entered the ward. “Rose, are you alright?”The police’s return to ask her more questions was akin to making her relive the suffering she endured previously.Rosalie sat on the bed, gripping the sheets tightly. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”Sebastian sat on the bed, hugging her gently and pulling her into his arms. “I’m here. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you. I’ll never let you go through that again.”His dark gaze landed on Yerick.Yerick walked over, and sat on the chair by the bedside.“Rose, the police will surely find the bastard who kidnapped you. I feel so bad for you, Rose. You always encounter the most unfortunate incidents. Heaven is way too unkind to you.”Tears started falling from Yerick’s eyes.Rosalie immediately sat up, and pulled away from Sebastian’s embrace. “Yerry, don’t cry. I’m fine. I look perfectly fine right now, don’t I?”“Rose, you must have been so frightened.”Sebastian’s brows were tightly
Rosalie didn’t just see him as a brother—she even saw him as her son.Sebastian’s brows remained tightly knitted as he looked on with disdain.‘Where did this two-faced, pretentious brat emerge from? Doesn’t he know how disgusting he looks?’ he thought.“Seb, why are you looking at me like that?” Yerick asked. “Why aren’t you eating? Since Rose can’t eat too much, you should eat more. Here, have some.”Yerick spooned some food into his bowl.Sebastian was about to pull his bowl away, but he thought of something and kept his bowl in place.“What did you call me?”Did he hear him wrongly? Was he fit to call him by his nickname? How bold of this rascal! “Since I call Rose by her nickname, it feels natural calling you by your nickname since you're her husband. I’ll call you Seb from now on. This is great. I have both of you as friends now,” Yerick said.He sounded fake and pretentious to Sebastian’s ears. Sebastian really wanted to punch him in the gut.How presumptuous of Yeric
Sebastian said it all without batting an eyelid.“Thank you, Seb,” Yerick said joyfully. “I was worried for a moment that you wouldn’t say yes. This is great. I have friends now, I love you all!” Yerick flashed him a heart sign.Sebastian said with a smile, “Look at you, behaving like a girl.”“So what if I do?” Yerick countered, “Girls are great. Rose is a girl.”Sebastian shook his head helplessly. “Fine, alright. Do whatever you want.”‘See how I get my hands on you, you brat,’ Sebastian thought to himself.The three of them went on eating their dinner.At the start, Rosalie was worried that Sebastian might not take to Yerick well, but since he made things clear, she naturally did not need to worry anymore and chatted even more happily with Yerick.Sebastian felt like he was invisible once more, sitting there looking at them talking up a storm.There was a smudge of sauce on the corner of Yerick’s lips, and Rosalie wiped it away with a napkin. “Look at that mess! You’re e
Rosalie covered them both with the sheets on the beds. Sebastian and Yerick laid obediently on their respective beds.Rosalie put her hands on her hips and said coldly, “This is great! Now both of you, lie down and get some rest.”She finally figured out that these two men were getting jealous and vying for her attention.What did they treat this place as? A palace harem?Sebastian and Yerick shot looks of disdain at each other.Sebastian immediately said, “Rose, I feel much better now. I’m fine. I’m getting up now.”He was about to sit up when Rosalie yelled, “Don’t you dare get up!”Sebastian trembled and laid back down immediately, not daring to move a muscle. He feared angering Rosalie the most.Rosalie said through gritted teeth, “Both of you, don’t get out of bed! Just lie down like this. Whoever gets out of bed, I’ll make sure you leave this ward and never see me again!”Vying for her attention right under her nose? How infuriating and shameful of two grown men! If she
