“Stop acting like you know him, okay? You don’t understand his situation at all! Don’t judge his actions based on your own values. There’s a reason why I’m staying in the hospital to take care of him,” Rosalie said.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Sebastian had amnesia, and needed her. Now, he was like a lost child who couldn’t find his way home. He was unfamiliar with everything around him. If she wasn’t by his side, he would be terrified. Brain surgery wasn’t a joke; even a tiny error could result in paralysis or death. It was already a miracle that he survived.

Theodore had no idea what she had gone through!

Seeing how protective Rosalie was of Sebastian, Theodore could see their relationship was indeed unbreakable. He felt a mix of bitterness and sadness.

“As long as you think it makes sense,” Theodore said flatly. He didn’t mean anything by that, but to Rosalie, it sounded a bit harsh.

She wanted to argue back, but couldn’t find the right words. All she could do was swallow her anger and fume in silence.

What had started as a normal conversation made the atmosphere in the car heavy.

For a full ten minutes, neither of them spoke until Theodore suddenly stopped the car by the side of the road. Rosalie looked outside the window, seeing rows of dense trees.

“Why did we stop here?”

“I don’t like Sebastian. No, I hate him. I even think how much better it would be if he weren’t here. Maybe you’d come back to me. He’s the stumbling block between us.”

Hearing his gloomy voice, Rosalie felt uneasy. She immediately said, “Even without Sebastian, I wouldn’t come back to you. The moment we divorced, I have already decided not to look back.”

“But you have to admit, Sebastian is an important factor. Without him, you’d at least still be single now. We wouldn’t have had so many arguments because of him,” Theodore argued.

“So you think it’s Sebastian’s fault or my fault? Is it because I’m close to Sebastian that you’re unhappy? You think this led to our divorce and arguments, right? Am I supposed to apologize to you?”

Here we go again! Theodore was about to start lecturing her. What double standards!

It was acceptable for men to cheat, but women must be chaste? And being close to another man was a serious offense?

Why were their arguments only about Sebastian, really? What about Cynthia? Did he simply forget about her?

“No,” Theodore said, staring at Rosalie. “It’s me who should apologize to you.”

“What?” Rosalie looked at him in shock.

He made an unexpected turn, something she hadn’t anticipated. She had thought they were going to argue again.

“You…!”

Rosalie was about to reprimand him, but Theodore interrupted, “Let me finish first. You can curse at me afterward.”

Rosalie swallowed the words she was about to say, and nodded.

It would give her more time to think about how to reprimand him, so she wouldn’t regret it later for not

the right words. Content belong

Theodore released the steering wheel and leaned back, sighing deeply.

“I’m really jealous of Sebastian. I even hate him. I admit, I have my own selfish reasons because I think he stole the woman I loved. Even though I know it’s my fault for not cherishing you, I still can’t help but feel angry.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Chapter 522

“Every time I get angry, it leads to serious consequences because I’ll come after you, interrogating you with righteous indignation, making you angry, making you cry, and even hurting you, as if I were the victim. But all of this was self-inflicted. I’m the one who divorced you for another woman, who abandoned my wife for the promises made to another woman. Why should I blame you for being close to Sebastian?” Theodore went on.

“Even if you’re close to him, so what? It’s my fault I lost you. You met a man who was gentle and caring, who stayed with you when you were in pain and protected you. Naturally, you’d be touched. Rose, tell me. Did Sebastian’s dedication move you so much that you transitioned from being ordinary friends to best friends who would go to great lengths for each other?”

Rosalie was silent for a moment before nodding. “Yes, he moved me deeply.”

Her heart wasn’t made of stone, so she could feel Sebastian’s kindness. While she didn’t feel romantic love for him, love came in other forms: love for family, love for partners, and love for friends. These were all love.

“Yes, moved. What a beautiful word. At first, I was angry because you told me you were just friends, but I didn’t believe it. I always felt there was something more between you and him. It wasn’t until later that I realized I was the problem.”

“You’re the kind of person who will repay someone’s compassion tenfold. So you treat Sebastian very well. You care for him, take care of him, and help him. All of this is because Sebastian took care of you the same way before. When you were hurt by me, it was him who was there to protect you created those conditions for him, but in theText © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“I was narrow-minded and foolish. I thought that if you and him were just friends, you shouldn’t be so close to him. Men and women should keep their distance from each other in this circumstance.

“But a few days ago, I watched a movie about family, friendship, and love. In the film, there was a deep friendship between a man and a woman, As the man lay dying, his friend gently stroked his face, kissed his forehead, and told him ‘I love you’ while crying. His friend’s husband was also there, holding the man’s hand without any jealousy, not feeling that such words or intimate gestures were inappropriate.

“After the movie ended, I suddenly thought of many things and felt enlightened. Friends aren’t as simple as I thought. There are many types of friends: acquaintances, ordinary friends, close friends, and best friends.”

“I don’t know what level you and Sebastian have reached, but I’m sure you’re no longer ordinary friends. Ordinary friends wouldn’t make such sacrifices for each other. Only close friends or friends who have gone through adversity with you would do that.”

Theodore continued, “Ordinary

friends might just check in on you when you’re sick, but best friends will stay up all night to care for you. Ordinary friends might just let you rant and have a meal with you when you’re hurt by a scumbag, but best friends will fight alongside you against the scumbag.” Content

Chapter 523

“I’m the scumbag, but every time I see you with Sebastian, I feel like you shouldn’t be so close to him. Since you both are just friends, why should you be so intimate with each other? I ignored what I had done, and all the painful situations I put you in. At that time, Sebastian brought you so much hope.”

“Ordinary friends and best friends are different. If you must compare the two and then use the standards for ordinary friends to criticize all cross- gender friendships, that’s superficial. It just means that one doesn’t understand how complex emotions can get. Such a person is doomed to never have true friends, and even if they do, they will lose them.”

“I shouldn’t have measured your friendship with Sebastian using the standards of ordinary friends. I was viewing your relationship from my narrow perspective, so I became extreme and harsh. I hurt you repeatedly, questioned you, and belittled you.”

“Foolish and superficial people see everything in black and white, but there are gray areas. Sebastian was willing to fight me to the death for you, so when he encounters difficulties, you also stand by him without hesitation.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“If someone’s willing to fight others for you, always stand by your side, protect you, and care for you, and if you abandon them in their time of need because you think it’s none of your business, then such a person doesn’t deserve to have someone treat them well.”

“But… You deserve it, Rose. You deserve all the goodness in the world. When I was good to you, you were sincere with me because I gave my all. Now, it’s Sebastian’s turn. I repeatedly questioned and hurt you. I pushed you to Sebastian myself, causing you and him to go from mere acquaintances to close friends, then good friends, best friends, and finally to a married couple. If I had firmly believed in you from the beginning, if I had been willing to stay by your side even once, you and Sebastian wouldn’t have come to this point.”

As Theodore spoke, he laughed, but his laughter soon turned into tears. He gripped the steering wheel, resting his forehead on it. His whole body trembled, and veins bulged on his hands.

“It’s all my fault. I was clearly in the

wrong, but I still shamelessly

“Why didn’t I cherish you? Why? I lost you because I was foolish, superficial, selfish, and narrow-minded. That’s why I lost you.”

He was the most despicable person, not cherishing what he had and regretting it after losing it.

Rosalie was a good person. After he proposed the divorce, he had so many opportunities to win her back, but he did nothing. He only chose to express his love when it was impossible for them to get back together.

Sometimes, people were just this foolish.

Despite knowing his actions were wrong, Theodore still did it. He acted on impulse, convinced at the time that his choice was right. Only when looking back did he realize how foolish he was. If given another chance, he would never make such a stupid mistake again. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Chapter 524

But there were no “ifs” in this world, and he wouldn’t get another opportunity anymore. Reality wasn’t like a sci-fi drama where you got to travel through time and change your fate.

Reality was reality. Once something was lost, it was gone forever.

“Theodore…”

Rosalie’s eyes reddened. She raised her trembling hand, cautiously reaching toward his shoulder, with the intent to comfort him. Her fingers hovered a few centimeters away before she pulled her hand back.

“Don’t be like this. It’s all in the past. Sometimes, letting go is the best way to move on.”

Theodore took a deep breath, released the steering wheel, and sat up straight. His eyes were red too. He turned to look at her and smiled, but it was one filled with despair. “Have you already moved on?”

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I’ve moved on because there are many more things in this world that are worth my attention.”

Like the child she was carrying, and those who cared about her.

As soon as she finished speaking, Rosalie realized her words might have sounded harsh. She quickly corrected herself, “I-I didn’t mean to say that you’re not worth caring about.”

“Then, do you still care about me?” Theodore asked, clinging to the last sliver of hope pitifully.

“I-I didn’t mean that, either.” Rosalie was somewhat flustered. She struggled to control her emotions, and said, “What I mean is that there are many people in this world who care about you. What’s lost is lost. Maybe we were never meant to be.”

She had once been in deep pain, feeling she had lost Theodore, the love of her life. However, she had learned to let go. She hadn’t expected Theodore to struggle with letting go as time went on.

Sometimes, when a relationship ended, men and women reacted differently. Men may feel relieved and freed initially, but women often suffered intensely at first.

However, gradually, as time went on, men might feel the emptiness and sadness of losing something, which would lead to an outburst at some point. On the other hand, for women, after the initial heart-wrenching pain, they would find peace. They would re-analyze their relationship more objectively, then let go no matter who was at fault.

“But we’re still sitting here, aren’t we?” Theodore’s eyes were filled with complex emotions. “Rose, can we…still be friends?” This was his only chance to be close to her.

Rosalie sighed with resignation. “Theo, we can’t be friends.”

“Why? Because I hurt you?”

“Because we’ve known each other for nearly eleven years, and then we became a couple. We’ve

net

experienced so many highs and lows. Now that we’re divorced, relationship can no longer fit the traditional definitions. We’re neither a couple nor friends, and certainly not siblings, but we’re not strangers either.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“Then, what are we?” Theodore asked.

Rosalie thought for a moment, and finally shook her head. “I don’t know. Maybe it’s a relationship that’s tangled and complicated.” Theodore lowered his head in disappointment. “Do you really want to cut ties with me?”

“I once did,” Rosalie said. “I wanted

to stay far away from you, never to see you again because you caused me so much pain. Just as I was beginning to feel less pain, you came back and troubled me@gain, making me angry. But now…

She paused, and finally sighed.

“Theo, don’t dwell on these questions, okay? It doesn’t matter if we cut ties with each other or not.”

In fact, she wanted to say that the connection between them could never truly be severed. After all, she was carrying his child. In the future, the child would know about his or her father, and vice versa. Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgContent held by NôvelDr

She planned to tell Theodore that she had slowly come to terms with things, but at a later time.

Right now, she was still in a nominal marriage with Sebastian. The situation was messy with the three of them involved. Once Sebastian recovered, the divorce would be finalized, and the child would be here. She would talk about it then.

If Theodore knew that they had a child, he wouldn’t give up. Moreover, Sebastian couldn’t handle any more stress in his current situation. Theodore nodded. “If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t talk about it anymore. I won’t bring it up again.”

“Theo, actually, after what you told me today, I feel like you’ve grown up. You’ve started to consider things from other people’s perspectives. I take back the harsh words I said to you before.”

This was the most comforting thing Theodore had heard all day, and it soothed his wounded heart slightly.

“Yes, I was immature and foolish before, even blunt and stupid,” Theodore admitted.

Rosalie shook her head. “No. You’re excellent, but even excellent people have flaws. You were overthinking your emotions. When you’re the main character in a situation, it’s easy to get confused. Everyone has moments of losing control or saying the wrong things. It’s not too late for you to understand this now.”

“Is it not too late? I already lost you.” For him, losing her was the line.

Rosalie didn’t know how to respond to this. It was indeed too late.

“Rose, do you still think that I orchestrated the attack on Sebastian? Or the attack on the other man, who ended up donating his heart?”

He wanted to know the answer to these questions. He didn’t care if others misunderstood him, but he didn’t want Rosalie to misunderstand him.

Rosalie was silent for a few seconds.

Theodore became even more anxious. “Rose, do you…”

“Theo,” she interrupted, but didn’t answer directly. Instead, she said, “Do you remember when I first came to the Spencers?”

“Of course. You were eleven when Grandma brought you back. You were so small and bony. Your face was dirty and you had a lot of

little rabbit. You always kept your

head down, and your eyes were filled with fear.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Theodore’s gaze was filled with compassion as he recalled that time.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, everything around me was so unfamiliar. I felt like I had entered a new world, a world that had nothing to do with me before.”

“Rose,” Theodore said seriously, “from that day on, you became part of the Spencers. No matter what happens between us in the future, you’ll always be a part of the family. No one can change that.”

Rosalie smiled, and continued, “At that time, you approached me very slowly. I was so scared that I clung tightly to Grandma. She squatted down and gently told me, ‘Rose, this is Theo. Don’t be afraid.””

“Although Grandma’s comfort

helped, I was still very scared. But since I had just arrived at the

Spencers, I told myself I had to be a good child, or Grandma would be unhappy. I didn’t want to be,

homeless again, so I mustered the courage to walk toward you.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Theodore chuckled. “I remember. You were so scared. Every step you took toward me seemed like you were stepping toward a cliff. I didn’t dare to approach you becaused was afraid of scaring you. I could only stand still and wait for you to come over.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Rosalie nodded. “I approached you very carefully at that time, trying hard to bel as obedient as I could. I was worried that if I weren’t, you’d hate me. You held my hand so gently when I approached you.”

“You were trembling at that time,” Theodore said. “I could feel it. When I held your hands, they were shaking so badly bruse you were so scared.”

“But you didn’t let go of my hands. Instead, you kept whispering to me, ‘Don’t be scared. You won’t be hurt from now on. I’ll protect you.‘ From then on, I stayed with the Spencers and was always with you, going everywhere you brought me. Whenever I encountered a question I didn’t know the answer to, you would teach me patiently until I got it. You were never anxious or impatient with me.

“When I was bullied, you were always the first to step forward and scare the bullies away. When I missed my parents, you would stay by my side quietly, saying nothing but simply being there. When I felt exhausted from crying, you would quietly hand me water and food. You were my guardian angel, always by my side and protecting me.”

Theodore’s eyes were tender. When he looked at Rosalie, it felt as though they had returned to the past when they were still innocent children. There were no conflicts or tension between them, just pure trust and dependence on each other.

However, everything changed after they grew up. Things were no longer innocent, but painful and tragic.

“But Rose, your guardian angel ended up hurting you so badly. You must have been disappointed.”

Theodore’s eyes turned bitter and disappointed..

“Theo, I said all these just to tell you I’ll never childhood memories.”

“And so?”

Theodore didn’t understand why Rosalie suddenly said all these things. She hadn’t replied to his question on whether she thought he killed Cynthia’s heart donor, and if she thought he was such an unscrupulous person.

“So, I trust that you’re not the one who caused Sebastian to end up in this state. I also trust that you’re not the one who killed Cynthia’s heart donor, because I trust that Theo, who protected me since I was young, isn’t a wicked person. He would help anyone he saw being bullied. I trust that the kind young man would remain kind even after he grew up. Even if he really committed some mistakes, he wouldn’t murder anyone.”

Rosalie might have suspected Theodore before, but that was when she was agitated and couldn’t control thoughts that c e to her mind. It was entirely understandable for people to lose control of their thoughts and become

extreme in their emotions when certain things happen under certain circumstances.

Silence ensued in the car. Theodore stared at Rosalie, not saying a word. Finally, he unbuckled his seat belt and exited the car.

Rosalie looked out of the car window. Theodore was standing on the roadside, looking silently at the forest in the distance.

After pondering for a moment, Rosalie unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door and left the car as well. She walked toward Theodore, and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Theodore looked into the distance, and sighed deeply. “I’m telling myself to hang on.”

Rosalie approached him and stood by his side. She turned, and asked him, ” Why do you say that?”

Did she say something to upset him again?

“No, you didn’t upset me,” Theodore reassured her. “Your words comforted me greatly.”

Rosalie was slightly surprised. She didn’t expect Theodore to see through her thoughts.

“Rose.”

Theodore turned around, and looked at her.

“I’m just so sad. You’re so near to me right now, but I know that I’ve lost your and we can never go back to what we were in the past. I really…really miss you.”

Theodore looked down, despondent. “Do you know? On your birthday, I was drinking at Caleb’s place. You came over, and I thought he was bullying you, so

I hit him.”

Rosalie nodded. “I remember that. You took me as Cynthia.”

That memory still made her slightly upset and very uncomfortable. Shel remembered feeling disappointed and miserable at that time.

Theodore smiled bitterly. “I knew it was you. I didn’t mistake you for Cynthia. I deliberately called her name.”

“What did you say?” Rosalie said, shocked.

Theodore inhaled sharply.

“After asking for a divorce, I felt terrible, which is why I kept drinking. I couldn’t

tell

you about it because at that time, you treated me as a brother and you were happy when I brought up divorce. I didn’t expect you to be at Caleb’s place to witness me at my most miserable state. I couldn’t let you see how much pain I was in. I wanted you to divorce me without feeling guilty, which was why I mentioned Cynthia.”

Rosalie didn’t know what to say. She understood how conflicted he must have felt at that time. “Theo, that’s all in the past. There’s no point talking about it

now.”

She couldn’t possibly remarry him after knowing the truth. The fact that they passed each other by remained. The hurt they caused each other couldn’t be erased so easily.

“Rose, I was wrong for not celebrating your birthday with you. You didn’t like the birthday present I prepared for you, either. It took me a long time to select. that bracelet.”

He sounded very disappointed, like a child who lost his favorite candy.

Rosalie remembered that bracelet; it had caused so many fights between them.

The issue basically lied with Cynthia, who said she asked Theodore to choose. this bracelet. However, Theodore insisted he was the one who chose the bracelet himself.

Rosalie knew Cynthia was trying to create a rift between her and Theodore. Though she told him what Cynthia said, he didn’t believe her. She still felt bad recalling this incident, and refused to talk about it again.

She really didn’t care anymore whether Th lore believed her. At the end of the day, he was no longer her husband.

Rosalie sighed. “Let’s not talk about those things, shall we? They don’t matter anymore.”

“They don’t to you, but they do to me. I know I shouldn’t be thinking about them and it’s pointless doing so, but I can’t control myself. Rose, I’m suffocating. I’ve asked myself so many times–why I didn’t ask you if you loved me before l asked for a divorce?”

Theodore grabbed her shoulders. “Rose, how would you answer me if I had asked you whether you loved me before I demanded our divorce?”

Rosalie’s eyes teared up.

With a bitter smile, she said, “Whether I love you or not, that question is meaningless. We shouldn’t harp on this issue any longer, it’s exhausting. Plus, we can’t just have love in our lives. There are other things more important than love. I trust that, even without me, you can lead a good life and walk out of the pain slowly.”

Theodore smiled bitterly. He said no further but lowered his head, looking as though he was crying.

Rosalie lifted a hand and patted his back gently, trying to comfort him. She didn’t know what to say right now. Be it comforting or cruel words, she would only end up making him sadder–because she could never go back to him.

Even without Sebastian in the picture, she wouldn’t go back to Theodore.

Theodore was stuck in a never–ending cycle of sorrow, unable to walk out of it no matter how hard he tried. Nothing she said wo be able to help him, unless he managed to figure things out himself and let go of things.

“Had you known things would come to this, would you have done things. differently?” she asked.

People were often like this, never treasuring the things they had and only caring for them when they lost it.

Rosalie really didn’t want to go back to Theodore. It was no longer a question, of love. Just the mere thought of it hurt her immensely.

It wasn’t just the two of them–it wasn’t just between her and Theodore. There was Cynthia stuck in between, and three’s a crowd. Even if Theodore abandoned Cynthia for her, she wouldn’t dare believe him. After all, she had already been lied to once.

Strictly speaking, Theodore didn’t exactly lie to her. He had made it before they got married, but Rosalie didn’t know that he was still in contact

very clear with Cynthia. He claimed to be going for work trips, but was in fact with Cynthia.

It hurt Rosalie deeply, and she told herself that she wouldn’t allow it to happen ever again.

She felt a cool breeze against her cheeks, Autumn had quietly crept up, and the temperature was dropping slowly. Time was passing slowly and whizzing past in a flash at the same time.

Rosalie wrapped her arms around her chest, and inhaled sharply.

Theodore looked up, and saw Rosalie shivering in the cold. He immediately took off his jacket, and draped it over her shoulders.

“Let’s go back to the car,” he suggested.

Rosalie nodded as they both did so. It felt warmer in the car. She removed the jacket, and put it aside.

Theodore started the engine, and drove off. When they arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he parked in the car park.

He turned to ask Rosalie. “How’s Sebastian?”

Her silence made him add, “Since you believe I’m not the one who caused him to become like this, all the more I wouldn’t hurt him now. I want to know how he is now not because I’m concerned for him, but because I’m concerned for you.”

“Thank you for your concern,” Rosalie said flatly. “He’s fine. We’re just waiting for him to make a full recovery. Things are good the way they are now–me taking care of him, and you taking care of Cynthia. We each have enough on our hands.”

What was the point of Theodore saying so much to her, claiming to love her and regret all he did? At the end of the day, he was by Cynthia’s side.

All his words meant nothing, when one action of his proved otherwise.

Rosalie just didn’t want to continue harping on things between Theodore and Cynthia. She wouldn’t go back to him, anyway. Things between him and Cynthia were none of her business.

“Really? He’s really doing well?” Theodore thought Rosalie didn’t look too good.

Sometimes, the caretaker’s state is a reflection of the patient’s condition.

“Yes. A miracle occurred and he escaped death. Things will only get better for him.”

Rosalie didn’t want to share details about Sebastian with Theodore. What did Sebastian’s condition have to do with him, anyway?

She wouldn’t casually share details about Sebastian’s condition to others now, just as how she didn’t casually share details about her and Theodore’s past

marriage to others,

Chapter 529

Theodore nodded. “Fine. Forget it if you don’t want to share.”

In fact, he hadn’t asked Rosalie because he was clueless. He had asked precisely because he knew Sebastian’s current state. It wasn’t difficult to find out that, apparently, Sebastian had lost his memory. Rosalie was the sole exception, being the only person he remembered.

Theodore didn’t believe that was the case, and felt that Sebastian was putting on an act. How could he possibly only rememt Rosalie if he had really lost his memories? It was too much of a coincidence.

However, he wasn’t sure about his conjecture. Sebastian was probably the only one who knew the truth.

Sebastian wanted to keep Rosalie by his side–but come to think of it, they were already husband and wife. There was no need for him to pretend that he lost his memories.

Everything was in a mess, and it frustrated Theodore very much.

“Rose, I have something to attend to. I won’t go into the hospital. Go on back. As much as you’re taking care of Sebastian, don’t forget to take care of yourself. I’m sure he wants to see you taking good care of yourself.”

Rosalie nodded. “Got it. Thank you.”

She opened the door and got out of the car before seeing Theodore drive off.

After he left, she turned around and walked into the hospital. The moment she entered the lobby, she saw Christopher walking straight toward her.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“I saw you coming back in Theodore’s car. Seb told me you went to visit your grandmother, but I think he doesn’t know that you made the trip with your ex- husband.”

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I went with him. My relationship with the Spencers is complicated, so I…”

“It’s fine,” Christopher said. “No need to explain so much to me. I wasn’t going to say anything. You must have your own reasons, and I trust that you aren’t

someone who would mess around. You didn’t tell Sebastian the whole truth probably because you were afraid of agitating him.”

Christopher gave one a strong sense of security and stability, and Rosalie felt comfortable hearing his words. She could sense that he wasn’t a dogmatic person who was overly critical of things. He was generally an open–minded

person.

It felt good having someone who trusted her. Although she hadn’t known Christopher for long and hadn’t met him that many times, she was sure someone who could reach his status and level of power was no simpleton.

“Did you just visit Seb? Are you going back now?”

“Yes. I didn’t just come to visit Seb, but also see you. But you weren’t around when I first came. Coincidentally, I saw you une moment you came back.”

“Thanks, I’m all good.”

Despite her assurance, Rosalie found it strange that Christopher had come specifically to see her. Perhaps his main purpose was still to visit Sebastian, but he said wanting to see her out of courtesy. That reasoning made more sense to her.

“Have you had dinner?” Christopher asked with a smile. “Oh, my question is rather pointless. You probably came back after dinner.”

Rosalie replied with a smile, “I’ve had dinner. How about you?”

“Not yet. I’ve been busy the whole day.”

“Hurry on and have dinner. You have to eat, no matter how busy you get.”

Christopher chuckled. “Yes, but it does feel lonely having dinner by myself.”

“What about Vonnie? You can ask her to have dinner with you.”

“Vonnie’s busy right now, too. Seb is in the hospital and there are tons of things to do at work, so her father’s making her help out with the company. She’s up to her ears in work, especially since she doesn’t know anything. Her brother handled everything in the company right from the start, after all. Now that she’s suddenly asked to do so much work, she’s frantic.”

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I went with him. My relationship with the Spencers is complicated, so I…”

“It’s fine,” Christopher said. “No need to explain so much to me. I wasn’t going to say anything. You must have your own reasons, and I trust that you aren’t

someone who would mess around. You didn’t tell Sebastian the whole truth probably because you were afraid of agitating him.”

Christopher gave one a strong sense of security and stability, and Rosalie felt comfortable hearing his words. She could sense that he wasn’t a dogmatic person who was overly critical of things. He was generally an open–minded

person.

It felt good having someone who trusted her. Although she hadn’t known Christopher for long and hadn’t met him that many times, she was sure someone who could reach his status and level of power was no simpleton.

“Did you just visit Seb? Are you going back now?”

“Yes. I didn’t just come to visit Seb, but also see you. But you weren’t around when I first came. Coincidentally, I saw you une moment you came back.”

“Thanks, I’m all good.”

Despite her assurance, Rosalie found it strange that Christopher had come specifically to see her. Perhaps his main purpose was still to visit Sebastian, but he said wanting to see her out of courtesy. That reasoning made more sense to her.

“Have you had dinner?” Christopher asked with a smile. “Oh, my question is rather pointless. You probably came back after dinner.”

Rosalie replied with a smile, “I’ve had dinner. How about you?”

“Not yet. I’ve been busy the whole day.”

“Hurry on and have dinner. You have to eat, no matter how busy you get.”

Christopher chuckled. “Yes, but it does feel lonely having dinner by myself.”

“What about Vonnie? You can ask her to have dinner with you.”

“Vonnie’s busy right now, too. Seb is in the hospital and there are tons of things to do at work, so her father’s making her help out with the company. She’s up to her ears in work, especially since she doesn’t know anything. Her brother handled everything in the company right from the start, after all. Now that she’s suddenly asked to do so much work, she’s frantic.”

1 see. Vonnie must be having a hard time right now,” Rosalie said.

“Don’t worry about her. She has to learn how to manage the company instead of relying on her brother for everything. It’s good for siblings to share the burden together,” Christopher said.

Rosalie nodded. “Yes, I trust Vonnie is up to the task.”

“Can you join me for dinner?”

“Me?” Rosalie exclaimed in shock. She already had dinner, and couldn’t have another meal.

“Oh.” Christopher smiled. “I know you’ve already had dinner. What I meant was, could you sit down for a chat with me as I eat? I haven’t talked with someone for a while. So many things happened, I do feel quite regretful about things.”

Rosalie found it hard to reject Christopher’s invitation, but the thought of Sebastian still waiting for her made her bite and bullet and say, “Seb might still be waiting for me, so…”

“Don’t worry,” Christopher said. “He was in good shape when I saw him. He even told me you’ve been taking care of him, and he feels quite bad about it. He hopes you can have more time for yourself. His heart aches seeing you spend all your time with him. I think he might feel better if you go back slightly later. Otherwise, he might think he’s taking up all of your time.”

“Did he really say that to you?”

Christopher nodded. “Yes, I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him about it. Although Seb wishes very much for you to keep him. company, he can’t bear to see you having such a hard time for his sake. If you can take some time away to relax, I believe he’ll feel happier.”

Rosalie smiled. When she previously left Sebastian and returned to him, he would be upset and even threw a tantrum. She didn’t expect him to “grow up” so quickly.

Perhaps as he slowly recovered with time, his sense of security strengthened, too.

“Well? If you really don’t feel reassured, you can go back to Seb. I won’t force you, Christopher said.

Rosalie thought about how she would eventually divorce Sebastian, and how he would know the truth one day.

She wasn’t sure when his memories would come back to him, but she was sure she had to tell him the truth before his brain made a full recovery. Her belly was growing day by day. Despite him thinking of them as husband and wife, she would never go to bed with him.

He really shouldn’t be so reliant on her, eithe Perhaps it was time to let him slowly adjust to not having her around.

“Well?” Christopher said. “I can share with you stories from Seb’s childhood.“” Rosalie nodded. “Sure.”

Joy flashed past the depths of Christopher’s eyes, but it vanished in an instant.

He brought Rosalie to a private room in a restaurant. Rosalie was so full from dinner, she couldn’t eat another bite.

Christopher didn’t force her, and went ahead to order dinner for himself.

While waiting for his food, Rosalie couldn’t help but ask, “I don’t really understand why you suddenly want to have a chat with me.”

She wasn’t close to Christopher. She found it reasonable if Sebastian’s father wanted to have a cha

with her, but she couldn’t figure out why in the world Christopher wanted to chat with her.

Christopher poured a cup of tea, and pushed it to Rosalie. “I know we’re not close and you have your doubts. However, I treat Seb as my own son, although I’m sure he’s never mentioned me to you before.”
