Chapter Wife my 581-590
Chapter 581
Rosalie returned to the next room, took a shower. After getting back into bed, she glanced at her phone and saw she had a message. It was from Yerick. [Rose, are you asleep yet?]
Rosalie replied, [I’m just about to go to sleep. Is something up?]Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
[Not really, just wanted to say goodnight and let you know that I’ve joined a new R&D team recently.]
Rosalie responded, [That’s great! Congratulations!]
[Rose, I really want to take you out for a meal, but there’s never been a good time. How’s your husband doing?]
Rosalie wrote back, [He’s out of the hospital now and recovering well.]
Yerick replied, [That’s good to hear. You’ve gone through a lot, Rose. Make sure to get some rest.]
Rosalie smiled. [It’s fine. No matter how tough things get, it’s worth it. The storm has finally passed.] [Yes, the storm has passed. Let’s hope there are no more storms; they’re so annoying!] Yerick joked. Rosalie wrote, [Yes, but life is full of ups and downs. Let’s focus on handling the present and cherish the people who care about us.] [Absolutely, Rose. I agree completely. I also care a lot about you, because you’re the one who cares most about me in this world.] Rosalie smiled slightly. [Yerry, one day you’ll meet someone who cares about you, and you’ll care about her too.]
Yerick was silent for a long time before replying, [I hope it turns out that way. For now, I’m focusing on you, because you’re the best.] Rosalie sighed with a smile. [It’s late. Let’s both get some sleep.]
Yerick replied, [Okay, goodnight.]
After Rosalie lay down, her mind was swirling with thoughts.
She lay on her back, gently caressing her belly. “Baby, what should do? Should I just take it day by day, or should I take the initiative? It feels like no matter what I do, things always end up going badly.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Thinking about the past events, Rosalie closed her eyes wearily.
She was exhausted, and she figured she just needed to sleep. Maybe after a good night’s rest, things would be better, or at least she’d be able to forget them for a while.
Three days after Sebastian’s discharge, Cynthia was released. She received a message from Theodore, saying he would come to visit her today.
It had been a long time since
Theodore had visited her. He had
claimed to be on a business trip, but
Cynthia was a bit skeptical.
However, she had no choice but to frequently text him to check in. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Theodore would either ignore her, or take a long time to reply.
Today, with Theodore saying he’d come to see her, Cynthia was thrilled She had someone do her makeup and put on the wedding dress Theodore had given her. She could finally wear it. Content

The wedding dress had been kept in a box Theodore had gifted her. For some reason, he later had the box taken away, but Cynthia had insisted it be left behind.
Wearing the wedding dress, Cynthia sat on her bed, counting the minutes.
When the door opened and Theodore walked in, Cynthia rushed over and hugged him.
“Theo!”
The sudden move startled Theodore. His body stiffened, and he gently pushed her away, placing his hands on her shoulders.
He looked Cynthia up and down. Seeing her in the wedding dress, he frowned.
“Why are you wearing that?”
Chapter 582
“Do you like it?”
Cynthia stepped back a few paces, holding the hem of her wedding dress and twirling around in front of Theodore.
Objectively speaking, she looked lovely in the dress. Despite that, he seemed uninterested.
Noticing his lack of enthusiasm, she said, “Theo, what’s wrong? Does the dress look bad? It’s a gift from you, and I’m finally wearing it. We’re about to get married! You should be happy.”
Theodore had promised her so many times that this time, she wouldn’t let him back out.
Theodore stared at her in silence for a moment before saying, “Cindy, I remember you said you loved music when you were younger, but you never had the chance to study it.”
Cynthia nodded. “Yes. I did love music when I was a child, but as you know, I wasn’t very favored in my family. If I pursued something as impractical as music or the arts, I would struggle to support myself, so I had to choose a more practical field.”
Theodore nodded sympathetically. “I know, and I’m sorry for that. But I think, since it’s your dream, you shouldn’t give up. Don’t worry about financial issues; I can cover all the costs. Just go after your dream.”
Cynthia was taken aback by his words, seemingly in disbelief. “Theo, what do you mean? Are you suggesting that I should study music now?”
Theodore nodded. “If it’s something you really want, I can support you. I’ve contacted a very good music academy abroad. You can go there, and I’ll cover all the expenses. You can study as long as you want, and if you want to continue your education or have other ideas in the future, that’s fine too.”
Cynthia was stunned. She stared at Theodore in shock for a long time before saying, “Why are you suddenly suggesting that I study music? I’ve just returned from abroad. Why are you sending me away again?”
Suddenly, Cynthia smiled. “Are you planning to come with me? If you’re willing to join me—”
“I’m not coming with you,” Theodore interrupted. “Cindy, you’re going alone. This is your dream, and I believe you can achieve it.”
The atmosphere fell into a heavy silence.
Cynthia looked at him coldly. “Aren’t we supposed to be getting married? Why are you sending me abroad to study music now?”
Theodore glanced at her, and said, “Cindy, change your clothes. We need to talk.”
Cynthia looked at herself. “Why
should change? Can’t we talk no

Having guessed Theodore’s attitude, Cynthia wasn’t about to give him the chance to say more.
Theodore sighed quietly. “Cindy, do you want to hear the truth?”
Cynthia clutched the wedding dress tightly. “What truth do you want to tell me?”
“I married Rose willingly. No one forced me. I’ve always wanted to marry her, and have always liked her. But I thought she didn’t love me. I got close to you as a show for my grandma, só Rose wouldn’t have to settle for me. Unexpectedly, my grandma still wanted me to marry her truly wanted to marry her, so I didn’t refuse. But I was afraid she would be unhappy marrying me, so I pretended it was a contractual marriage. That way, she wouldn’t feel pressured. I also planned to find a suitable excuse to divorce her so she could be free again. You were always meant to be that excuse. I’ve been using you from the beginning.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Chapter 583
Cynthia was thunderstruck. Her eyes went wide with shock and disbelief, as if she had heard something utterly inconceivable. She shook her head frantically.
“No! Theo, you’re lying to me. You must be lying! I don’t believe it!”
Theodore lowered his gaze, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, “I’m telling the truth. Whether you believe it or not doesn’t change anything.”
“I refuse to believe it!” she cried. “You took care of me when I was sick! You even sent me abroad for treatment. You were so kind to me because you love me! Why otherwise would you have taken such good care of me? You were already married—even if I was just an excuse, you didn’t have to look after me. If you wanted to divorce, you could have easily made up a story about falling in love with someone else. But your kindness to me was real! I-”
“It’s all because of my guilt!” Theodore interrupted her.
Cynthia was stunned. “What did you say?”
“When your lungs were failing, I thought it was because of something my grandma did that affected the transplant surgery. My kindness to you was driven by guilt.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“Guilt.” Hearing that word felt like a wound being torn open in Cynthia’s heart. “You’re saying that everything you did for me was because of guilt? I don’t believe it.”
“It’s the truth, Cindy. Even if my grandma did something to you, I can’t blame her. The only thing I could do was try to make it up to you by being kind and taking care of you. I even thought I might take care of you for the rest of your life because Rose didn’t love me, and there was no hope for us. So, I focused on compensating you. I didn’t expect so many things to happen that made me realize I can’t continue like this. I can’t keep avoiding the truth.”
Cynthia stumbled back a few steps, and sank onto the edge of the bed with a thud.
She was sweating, tears streaming down her face as she looked at him. “You loved me, Theo. You must have loved me. Otherwise, why would you have defended me so fiercely?”
“It was because I was furious with Rose. For all these years, she didn’t love me, and she got along so well with other men. I was consumed with jealousy, and lost my sanity for a moment. I may have intentionally tried to provoke Rose as a form of revenge.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“So you defended me to get back at Rosalie?” Cynthia couldn’t believe his words.
“Yes, I used you for my foolish revenge. But now, I see how ridiculous it all was. I’ve done something so stupid, and my arrogance has cost me everything.”
“How can you say that?” Cynthia roared angrily. “You say you’ve lost everything, so what you’re saying now is that I was never part of your everything?”
“Rose is my everything.” Theodore’s
words were cruel. “Without her, I have nothing and want nothing. Cindy, I’m sorry. I’ll compensate you. I promise your future will be secure. You can do whatever you want, but I don’t think we can—” Content

“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to hear it!” Cynthia covered her ears forcefully. “Don’t say anything else! I don’t want to listen!”
Cynthia cried in agony, her tears flowing freely. Theodore watched her silently. After a long time, she finally grew exhausted. She lowered her hands, and glared at him n anger. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Chapter 584
“Theo, you have to marry me! You can’t just drop these cruel words on me and walk away like this! I’ve spent my youth loving you. All these years, I’ve loved you so much! I’ve held on for you, but…but how can you do this to me? You promised you’d marry me! How can you break your promises, time after time? It’s so despicable of you!”
“I really am a bastard. You can curse me however you want, it’s all my fault. I will take responsibility.”
“Then marry me!” Cynthia shouted. “I don’t want anything else! I just want you to marry me. You must fulfill everything you promised. How can you call yourself a man otherwise? You’ve hurt Rosalie, and now, you’re hurting me. It’s simply unforgivable!”
“I’m sorry.” Theodore didn’t know what else to say beyond that.
“I don’t want to hear your apologies! I want you to marry me!”
“I can’t marry you.”
“You promised you would! I don’t care what you’re thinking now. You must marry me! Theo, you can’t do this to me!” Cynthia, frantic, grabbed his suit. “You promised me! You have to keep your promise! Otherwise, what’s the use of this heart? What’s it for?”
She clenched her fists and pounded her chest.
“This heart beats for you! If not, why should I go through so many surgeries? Just let me die!”
“Cindy, you shouldn’t think like this. Your life is your own, and it’s still beautiful. You’re so young, and you shouldn’t see me as your only chance. You should go after your dreams,” Theodore tried to reason.
“I don’t want you to tell me what I should do!” Cynthia wiped the tears from her face forcefully. “I want you to marry me! You must fulfill your promise. If you don’t, I’ll never be at peace!”
The gravity of Cynthia’s words was evident; she looked as though she might end her life at any moment.
Theodore grasped her arms. “Cindy, calm down. Please don’t do this.”
“How can I calm down?” Cynthia screamed.

“Look, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Don’t worry. Whatever problems you face in the future—”
“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want
money! I just want to marry you! Did
you think I was with you for the money? So I’m just some kind of gold-digger to you?” Cynthia’s
emotions were escalating Content

Theodore sighed in resignation. “I understand, but besides money, I don’t have much else to offer you.”
“I want to be Mrs. Spencer! I want to be your wife! Theo, I need to marry you, or I’ll go crazy. I’m begging you!”
Cynthia clung to his arm. “I’ve loved you so humbly. Please, have some compassion. Don’t do this to me. You can’t refuse to marry me. Otherwise, I can’t live. What use is this heart?”
Theodore didn’t know what to say.
“Please, Theo,don’t abandon me!” Cynthia collapsed to the ground, clutching his leg desperately while crying uncontrollably. “Theo, in this lifetime, you are my one and only. I don’t want anyone but you! I truly love you. You can’t do this to me! You can’t humiliate me like this!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgContent © NôvelDrama.Org.
Chapter 585
As Cynthia cried, she suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and she struggled to breathe. She clutched her heart, gasping for air.
Theodore immediately kneeled beside her, and helped her up from the floor before guiding her back to the bed. He quickly pressed the emergency button.
Medical staff rushed in to check on Cynthia. The doctor informed Theodore that Cynthia had recently undergone a heart transplant, and was still recovering. She needed to get plenty of rest and avoid emotional stress, as it could put a significant strain on her new heart.
Once the medical team left, Cynthia lay on the bed in her white wedding dress. Theodore walked over to her.
He didn’t take her hand, but said with a resigned tone, “Cindy, why are you doing this to yourself? I’m just a man who’s always breaking his promises. You shouldn’t waste your time on me. There are many other men in this world who deserve your love. You will meet someone better.”
“That’s easy for you to say,” Cynthia sneered. “And what about you? Why did you fall in love with Rosalie? Why don’t you love me or someone else?” Theodore remained silent for a long time, not responding.
“Theo, you can’t be this cruel,” Cynthia said as she cried. “Do you know how happy I was when I put on this wedding dress? I gave you all my dignity and showed you my heart, but now you’re humiliating me. And this dress-it was a gift from you.”
Theodore sighed softly. “At the time, you were very ill, and it was hard to find a suitable heart, so…”
“So you made a promise to marry me, and now, you’re backing out after I got my transplant. If that’s the case, I’d rather not have this heart!”
“Cindy,” Theodore said, frowning, “isn’t it better this way? You’re alive, safe and sound, and living like a normal person.”
“No, it’s not better. It’s not good at all. Without you, there’s no such thing as good.”
“Even with everything I’ve done, you still want to marry me? Do you think you can’t live without me?”
Theodore sometimes struggled to
understand a woman’s persistence,

but from another angle, he could also relate to it, just as he was fixated on Rosalie. His obsession with Rosalie had caused her so much pain. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Theo, you’re the best man I’ve ever met. I honestly don’t know who else I could find. I only want you. I don’t want anyone but you!” Cynthia’s tears were overwhelming, her vulnerability evident.
Theodore watched her in silence. “Even if I don’t love you, do you still want to marry me?”
Cynthia’s mind went blank. She hadn’t expected this man to speak so bluntly to her.
She always saw Rosalie as a threat but was confident Theo loved her and that Rosalie couldn’t compare. But now, Theo had spoken plainly about not loving her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

She admitted her persistence with Theo wasn’t purely about love, but receiving such a cold response from him still tore her apart.
The pain she felt was less about love, and more about hatred and frustration.
“Theo, do you really…do you really not love me at all?”
Chapter 586
Theodore looked down, and nodded as gently as he could. “I admit that I do feel guilt toward you, but…I don’t love you.”
Cynthia pulled the sheets open with a whoosh, and rushed to the windows.
Theodore immediately chased after her. “Cindy!”
He shot out like an arrow toward Cynthia, and grabbed her arm.
Cynthia charged forward stubbornly. “Let me go! Let me go!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Cindy, don’t be like this!” Theodore pulled her back hard.
“No, just let me die! What’s the point of living? Let me die, let me go!”
Cynthia cried brokenly, and threw herself into his embrace as Theodore pulled her back. She hugged him tight, and buried her head in his chest. “You can’t treat me like this,” she said through sobs. “You can’t be like this! You said you wanted to marry me! You promised me… You promised me!” “Cindy, didn’t you hear what the doctor said? You can’t get agitated.”
“I’m getting agitated, I don’t care! I managed to survive, and this is how you treat me? What’s the point of surviving? Just let me die! Let me die!” Theodor grabbed her shoulders, and pushed her away from his embrace. He asked emphatically, “Cindy, do you really want to marry me that badly?”
Cynthia stared at him with tear-filled eyes. “Do you even need to ask me that?”
“Will you still want to marry me and be Mrs. Spencer, even if I don’t love you?”
“That’s what you promised me! Why are you talking about love right now? Theo, I just want you to keep your word, whether you love me or not. Just know that I love you, and that! can even give you a bit of my love for you. No-I can give you so much of it and I’ll still have endless love for you, because nothing in this world can compare with the love I have for you! I don’t care about anything else as long as you’re by my side. I can give up on everything!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Theodore looked down in disappointment.
The sorrowful face of a woman appeared in his mind. It didn’t belong to Cynthia, but Rosalie.
The only thing he saw was hopelessness.
He had never felt such hopelessness toward Rosalie, and such hopelessness came from himself. He couldn’t see any hope of reconciling with her, and she would never forgive him.
She had married Sebastian-there was no turning back.
“Alright, I’ll marry you. I’ll take you back today to make preparations, and we’ll hold our wedding the day after tomorrow,” he finally said.
Cynthia was in disbelief when she
heard that. She wanted to ask him if he was for real, but each time she asked something like that, he would reassure her that it was. This time she didn’t dare to believe it was, but she had to. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Aside from taking him at his word, she had no other choice.
Cynthia opened her mouth to say something, but Theodore cut her off. “Cindy, there’s one more thing you must understand.” “What is it?”
“I can marry you, but you must know that I don’t love you. I’ll treat you well because you’re Mrs. Spencer, and can give you anything you want, but I won’t treat you the way a husband treats his wife. I won’t even sleep on the same bed as you. Do you still want to marry me?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The cruelest words were often spoken in the calmest way possible. “Theo, must you put it so cruelly?”
Chapter 587
“I must tell you this beforehand, because I can’t bring myself to accept another woman born emotionally and physically,” Theodore said.
“Another woman?” Those words were like salt to Cynthia’s wound. “Am I just another woman’ to you now?”
“Aside from Rose, all other women are ‘another woman’ to me. That has always been the case. So, Cindy, it’s not too late to leave me right now. I’m not worthy of your devotion. You’ll only be miserable if you marry me now.”
Theodore made himself absolutely clear, without holding anything back. He made sure to present the whole truth in its cold and cruel entirety.
Cynthia had never imagined all these happening. She thought she had full control over Theodore-that he would trust, defend, and love her the moment she shed a tear or looked weak and innocent.
It was only until today, after hearing everything he said to her, that she realized everything had been in his control all along. He had been holding himself back the entire time. How well he treated her, as well as his attitude toward her, had all been for Rosalie’s sake.
Cynthia had always wanted Theodore and Rosalie to divorce. As long as they were divorced, she thought she would become Mrs. Spencer.
Yet, reality was starkly different from what she imagined. After waiting for them to finally get divorced, Theodore ended up figuring out his true feelings.
Now that things have come to this point, what was the use of throwing a tantrum and crying up a storm? Cynthia knew when to quit; she recognized the result of her tantrums and crying was Theodore’s willingness to marry her. However, he couldn’t give her love.
She would still be Mrs. Spencer, and that was what she wanted.
Despite Theodore’s cruel words, Cynthia told herself to calm down. She had always been able to seek the greatest self-benefit even amidst circumstances that were greatly detrimental to herself.
“Theo, I love you. Even though I’m hurting terribly from what you said to me, I still love you. Over the years, marrying you has always been my dream and my greatest wish. I don’t know what’s with you. Perhaps you’re just going through a moment of weakness, but that’s alright. I will wait for you. We have a long time to go after we get married. People change-I trust you eventually will!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Will you be able to tolerate it if I never change, never love you, and that you’ll always only be Mrs. Spencer in name and not in substance?” Theodore pressed.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“That’s alright. We have lots of time, and no one can predict the future. For all you know, you might suddenly love me one day, and realize that you need me…”
“Cindy, I…”
“Say no more. Cynthia put her

fingers to Theodore’s lips. “Theo, don’t say anything further, please. Don’t say such cruel things. Let’s not talk about the future. No one knows what will happen in the future. Let’s just focus on the present, alright? I’m begging you.” Content belongs to

Seeing the tears that kept spilling down her cheeks, Theodore grabbed her hands and gently pushed them away. “Alright, I won’t say anything anymore.”
Cynthia finally smiled through her tears. She nodded, and grabbed Theodore’s hand. “Have we come to an agreement, then? We’ll get married the day after tomorrow, is that confirmed?”
Theodore nodded. “Yes, it’s
confirmed. make the
arrangements. After the wedding is
over, we register our marriage. A fulfill your dream of being Mrs. Spencer, but that would be all I can give you.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“That’s enough. Theo, I’m not greedy. I’ll be very satisfied with that.”
Cynthia hugged Theodore tight, and leaned into his embrace. “You said that you’ll treat me well, whether or not you love me. I trust you. I’ll always trust you.”
Theodore’s arms drooped down his sides as he remained silent, his eyes empty and soulless.
Chapter 588
Christopher placed his teacup on the coffee table in the living room.
“Rose, Seb has been recovering pretty well. We can rest assured now,” he said.
“Yes,” Rosalie said. “Seb is blessed. It’s just a pity he hasn’t regained his memories. I’m not in a rush for that to happen, though. It’s just that I’ve spotted him secretly trying to recall his memories many times, and it would only make him upset. I don’t know how else to help him. Each time, I’d tell him not to think so hard if he really can’t recall, but…he would continue torturing himself.”
Seeing the worry etched on Rosalie’s face, Christopher said, “Rose, I actually contacted an overseas medical institution who have seen memory loss cases like Seb’s. They have a treatment that has gone through clinical trials with pretty good results. Perhaps it might help him regain his memories.”
Rosalie looked pleasantly surprised at the news. “Really?”
Christopher nodded. “Yes. I read their report and various data, as well as success cases. I’ll have someone send the information to you so you can read through them. If you find it okay, I can make arrangements to send Seb there for treatment for a period of time.”
“Does the treatment process hurt? Does it involve cranial procedures or electro-therapy? If so, I don’t want Seb undergoing such things,” Rosalie asked.
“No,” Christopher said, waving his hands. “Their treatment approach is very novel, and doesn’t involve surgery or the even more outdated electro- therapy approach. It’s an even more scientific treatment approach, in which the patient won’t feel anything. I certainly wouldn’t bear to let Seb suffer anymore.”
“Alright. Send me the information, and I’ll ask Seb about it.”
“Okay.” A thought suddenly came to Christopher’s mind, and he said, “Oh yes, there’s one more thing.”
“What is it?”
“I’ve already talked to Seb’s father about his marriage.”
“How did it go? What did his father say?” Rosalie asked.
Christopher said, “His father initially thought Kwas being a busybody, and was very unhappy. But after a bit of convincing on my part, he agreed not to interfere in Seb’s marriage for the time being.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Did you tell his father about Seb and I?”
“I naturally didn’t betray you, but his father probably knows about it even without me telling him. He knew since long ago that you’re pregnant, and that the baby isn’t his son’s,” Christopher assured her. Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Rosalie was shocked. “Did he say that himself?”
“Yes,” Christopher nodded. “He knew right from the start that you were pregnant with Theodore’s baby.”
Shock registered in Rosalie’s eyes. “In that case, why did he agree to Seb marrying me? Does he have an ulterior motive?”
“I don’t know as yet, but what I do know is that a man like Geoffrey Carter does everything with a goal in mind. He probably thinks he can get something from you, which is why he agreed for Seb to marry you,” Christopher said. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“If that’s really the case, I find it very strange,” Rosalie said.
“Rose, I wonder if you really understand Seb?” Christopher asked.
Rosalie pondered for a moment before saying, “Seb’s a good man. He treats me very well, and has always taken good care of me.”
“Is that it? Perhaps he might not be who you think he is in some aspects. Think harder.”
Chapter 589
Doubts seeped into Rosalie’s mind when she heard Christopher’s words. She sensed that something wasn’t right, and tried to rack her brains for an answer.
“One time when I went to Sebastian’s company, I saw him flaring up at his subordinates. I was a little frightened by the way he looked at that time. It was completely different from the usual gentle person I know him to be.”
“And then?” Christopher pressed further. “How did you feel at that time? Were you shocked?”
“Well…” Rosalie said, “I was a little shocked, but come to think of it, who hasn’t flared up in his entire life? I didn’t think much of it, and just hoped that he wouldn’t blow his top so badly next time. It surely isn’t good for his health.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Christopher nodded. “Okay, I got it.”
“I don’t understand. Why are you suddenly saying something like this to me? Is there something about Seb that I don’t know?”
She had niggling doubts that Christopher was trying to get at something.
“Rose, I don’t want to lie to you. Everyone has his ugly side, but I can guarantee you that Seb’s feelings for you are genuine,” Christopher said.
Rosalie nodded. “I know. He treats me very well.”
“Can’t you sense something?”
Christopher’s question made Rosalie fall silent for a moment.
“If you’re referring to…” Rosalie suddenly didn’t know how to go on.
“Don’t worry, I promise you that this conversation will stay between us if you want it to be that way,” Christopher said.
Rosalie took a deep breath, and
went on, “I’m not too sure about this, but Seb told me before that there was someone he liked. I even met the lady That’s why I can’t be too narcissistic and think that he loved me, just think that he’s very concerned about me and in return, I show him the same concern. I really don’t dare to think about anything else.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Christopher nodded, not wanting to make things difficult for Rosalie.
“Alright, I know how you feel. Whatever it is, we’ll talk about it again after Seb regains his memories. Otherwise, many things remain uncertain. There’s one thing I can guarantee you, though.”
“What is it?”
“After Seb recovers and if you want to divorce him, do so without feeling burdened. I’ve talked to his father about it, too. But you’ve got to promise me one thing.”
“What is it?”

“Don’t ever sacrifice yourself to help others. I know you’re a good person with a kind heart. When others treat you well, you can’t help but treat е them well back. You even gave your all to help them. However, you have your limits in the things you can do. You helped Seb this time, but if it were another person, would you also help him with your marriage?”

Rosalie looked down. “No matter what, what’s done is done. Seb is worthy of me to do what I did. I don’t just blindly help others. He’s worth my effort.”
“I know you think he’s worthy, but…”
Christopher was getting anxious, but he calmed himself down before going on “I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt. Seb won’t hurt you, but what if others have the intention of hurting you? Human hearts are unpredictable.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Christopher’s serious face convinced Rosalie that his concern for her was genuine.
“Got it. Don’t worry, I’ll keep your words in mind. I find myself lucky to be able to meet someone like Seb. No one will treat me as well as he does.” Christopher nodded.
Chapter 590
Just then, Sebastian walked over. “Rose, Chris, what are you two talking about?”
Sebastian walked toward Rosalie, sat next to her, and hugged her around her shoulders.
“Rose, Chris, what were you two talking about?” he repeated.
“Just random things,” Rosalie said with a smile.
Sebastian didn’t press further, and asked, “Rose, can we go out for a stroll in the afternoon? I feel like I haven’t been out for such a long time. The doctor says I can go out for some fresh air.”
Rose nodded. “Of course, we can. Where do you want to go? I’ll bring you there.”
“Anywhere is fine,” Sebastian said. “As long as you’re with me, I can go anywhere.”
“Alright, then. We’ll head out after lunch.” Rosalie looked at Christopher, and asked, “What would you like to eat for lunch?”
Christopher glanced at Sebastian, and smiled. “No, thanks. I have a lunch appointment. I’ll join you two next time. Go to a restaurant for lunch later.”
With that, Christopher stood up and bade them farewell. “I’ll be off, then.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Rosalie stood up too. “Let me walk you out.”
Christopher was about to reject her, but a thought came to mind and he nodded. “Sure.”
Sebastian wanted to follow them, but Christopher gave Rosalie a look.
Rosalie caught the hint, and immediately understood what he meant. She turned to Sebastian. “Seb, sit here and let me walk Chris out. Stay here and wait for me.”
Sebastian nodded obediently. “Okay.”
Rosalie walked Christopher out.
“Do you have something to say to me?” Rosalie could sense that something was off from the look in Christopher’s eyes just now, and that he wanted to tell her something without Sebastian around. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Christopher nodded. “Yes. I have a question for you.”
“What is it?”
“This question might be a little personal. I hope you don’t mind.”
Rosalie asked doubtfully, “And the question is…”
“Have you and Seb…had sex?”
Christopher’s question stunned Rosalie.
“Why are you suddenly asking me that?” she said awkwardly.
“Rose, please don’t misunderstand. I’m asking you this not because of what you it is, but…” Christopher was suddenly at a loss for words.
“Of course not,” Rosalie said. “Sebastian and I have never done something like that.”
Christopher looked like he had inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.
He explained, “Rose, I don’t mean to humiliate you at all. I asked you that for reasons that I’m unable to reveal right now, but you’ll find out one day.” “What exactly is the reason? Why are you unable to give me an explanation?” she asked doubtfully.
“Well…” Christopher pondered for a
moment before saying, “Rose, I
really want to tell you the reason, but you’ll have to wait. Before that, hope nothing will happen between yout and Seb.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Doubts filled Rosalie’s mind, but she knew Christopher wasn’t a careless man. He had his reasons for the words he said and the things he did. As for the specific reason behind his question, she believed he would tell her one day.
“Alright, I got it. Although I don’t understand the reason why you’re telling me all these, I trust you’re careful and thoughtful enough.
คอนเวอร์
Please don’t worry, nothing will
happen between Seb and I. Not in the past, and not ever. Our marriage isn’t real, and we’ll get a divorce once the time is right.” Content
