Chapter Wife my 591-600
Chapter 591
Rosalie said it resolutely, leaving no room for negotiation.
Christopher nodded. “Alright. Thanks for your trust in me, Rose. I’ll give you a clear answer in time to come, I promise.”
The two of them were so engrossed in conversation that they didn’t notice Sebastian hiding around the corner. Shock and disbelief registered in his eyes as his countenance turned grimmer by the second.
His fingers gripped the metal pieces on the decorative wall he was hiding behind, and he tugged them hard.
Blood started seeping from his palm.
Rosalie returned to the hall, but couldn’t find Sebastian there. She was about to look for him, when she heard someone behind her.
“Rose.”
“Seb,” Rosalie said, stepping forward. “Where…”
She was about to ask him where he went, when she noticed that his palm was bleeding.
“Seb, why is your hand injured?” she exclaimed, panicked.
Sebastian’s vision suddenly came into focus, and he flashed her a smile. “It was my mistake. I was clumsy, and accidentally broke a vase. I picked up the shards with my bare hands and accidentally cut myself.”
Rosalie pulled Sebastian’s wrist. “Seb, come with me. I’ll treat your wound for you.”
Instead of blaming him for being careless, she quickly got him to sit down before turning around to find a first-aid kit.
Sebastian saw the panic and worry on Rosalie’s face, and feelings of tenderness flashed past the depths of his heart. Very soon, however, his brows arched as his face turned cold and dark, like the chilling wind in a wintery night.
When Rosalie came back, she had a first-aid kit in hand. She deftly applied ointment on Sebastian’s wound, disinfected it, and bandaged it.
Sebastian sighed inwardly as he stared at the woman before him.
Why did the truth turn out like this?
He would rather Rosalie betray him and be pregnant with someone else’s child than for the truth to be like this.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
At the very least, had she betrayed him, he had a reason to ask her to make it up to him.
Yet, their marriage turned out to be fake.
He lost his memory, and forgot about that.
She had said to someone else that she would one day divorce him so resolutely.
To think the woman he loved, the
marriage he believed in, and the
lover
feelin
trusted were all fake. His and emotions were nothing but a pitiful joke. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
No, not pitiful-hilarious. It was the funniest joke in the world. He was a clown and everyone was looking at him like he was a pitiful worm, acting along with him. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Even his beloved woman was putting on an act.
‘Sebastian’, he thought to himself, ‘Turns out that you’re such a joke. They all see you as a pitiful worm, but you remain so ignorant.’
Rosalie bandaged Sebastian’s wound with utmost care. She released his hand and looked at him to ask, “Seb, how do you feel? Does it still hurt?”
Sebastian snapped back to attention, and shook his head. “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. I’m sorry for being so careless.”
“Why are you apologizing to me? You certainly didn’t do it on purpose. I wouldn’t blame you.”
“But you’re worried about me. It’s my fault for making you worry.”
The lowly and cautious look on
Sebastian’s face made Rosalie sigh.
“Seb, you don’t need to be so
careful
around me, or keep apologizing. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Sebastian smiled. “But…”
He stopped.
Chapter 592
Sebastian shook his head. “Nothing. I’m just a little frustrated over my memory loss and being stuck at h..ne.”
Rosalie gently patted his arm. “Seb, aren’t we heading out this afternoon? Let’s find a nice restaurant and go out for a walk after lunch. I’ll go with you wherever you want. I know you must be bored to tears. Let’s have some fun later.
Sebastian nodded. “Okay.”
In the afternoon, Rosalie drove Sebastian to a restaurant in the city center. However, the moment they stepped in there, they were greeted by the manager who said apologetically, “I’m sorry, sir and madam. Our entire restaurant is reserved for a private function, and we won’t be able to host any guests today.”
Rosalie furrowed her brows. “I called earlier to make a reservation, and there weren’t any issues. Why was it so suddenly reserved?”
The manager said apologetically, “My staff might have made a mistake. I’m so sorry about that.”
Rosalie was slightly displeased. “You didn’t inform us beforehand, and we’ve come all the way here. Now, you’re telling me that the entire restaurant is reserved by someone else and you want me to leave? That’s simply unprofessional of you.”
“I’m really sorry, sir and madam. How about this? I’ll give you a discount on your next visit. My sincerest apologies about today.”
Rosalie was angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Sebastian’s heart ached upon seeing how angry she was. He stepped forward, and said coldly, “It’s your problem for not informing us beforehand. You caused us to make a wasted trip here.”
Although Sebastian lost his memory, he was tall and strong, and boasted an imposing aura.
The manager felt intimidated, and immediately flashed him an ingratiating smile. “Sir, I’m really sorry. I’ll give you a 50% discount during your next visit here.”
“This isn’t about the discount. I don’t care for it,” Sebastian said coldly. “First come, first served. What’s more, this was a mistake on your end. If it’s about the money, I’ll buy this restaurant and make you cancel this reservation of the entire restaurant.”
“Huh? Um…” The manager looked conflicted, not knowing what to do.
Just then, a couple walked in.
The manager saw the couple, and hurriedly said to Sebastian and Rosalie, “I’m sorry, please excuse me.”
He stepped forward to welcome the couple. “Mr. Spencer, Ms. Zeller.”
Cynthia held Theodore’s arm, and asked, “Where are our seats? Bring us there.”
Rosalie saw Theodore and Cynthia, and her face stiffened. She never expected to bump into them here. As it turned out, they were the ones who reserved the entire restaurant.
How could it be so coincidental? She wondered if Theodore had secretly spied on her.
However, upon second thought, how could he possibly do that? Unless he installed surveillance cameras in Sebastian’s home.
Theodore was stunned to see Rosalie and Sebastian there as well. Shock flashed past the depths of his eyes, but he composed himself quickly.
He arched a brow in Rosalie’s direction. “What a coincidence. You
two are here, too.”
Sebastian saw Theodore, and his eyes narrowed. His eyes glinted with a tinge of animosity.
This animosity came so naturally, like an instinct that remained despite the loss of his memories.

Chapter 593
Rosalie subconsciously stood in front of Sebastian, and looked warily at Theodore.
Cynthia smiled victoriously as she held Theodore’s arm tight. She was shocked to see them there, but she refused to let it show. “It’s you guys, I didn’t expect to see you two here. It’s a pity Theodore and I have reserved the entire restaurant.”
Cynthia spoke gently and politely, but there was something strange in her tone that was hard to pinpoint
Rosalie wanted to barf at how pretentious Cynthia looked. “It’s not a pity at all. This isn’t the only restaurant around, and there are many more around the corner. Seb and I will be off, then ”
Rosalie held Sebastian’s hand, and started walking out
When they brushed past Theodore and Cynthia, Sebastian suddenly, stopped in his tracks.
Rosalie turned around. “What’s the matter, Seb?”
Sebastian’s dark gaze landed on Theodore and Cynthia. He wrapped his arm around Rosalie’s waist, and pulled her into his embrace Rose, aren’t you going to introduce us? These two are ”
Cynthia knew about Sebastian, as Yerick had updated her about it Sebastian’s heart was supposed to be hers, but Rosalie that bitch refused to sign the agreement. She had thought Sebastian was doomed to die, and didn’t expect him to survive the ordeal
“Seb, we’ll talk when we’re back.” Rosalie didn’t want to talk about things under such circumstances. She felt annoyed at the mere sight of Cynthia and Theodore
Rosalie’s hesitation made Sebastian nod, not wanting to make
things difficult for her. “Okay.”
The two of them made a move to leave, but Theodore suddenly said. “I’m her ex–husband, Theodore Spencer. I heard you lost your memories, Mr. Carter. You don’t look too well, either.”
Sebastian could sense the animosity Theodore’s tone, but he said easily with a smile, “No wonder Rose divorced you. The look in your eyes isn’t friendly at all. I’m recovering very well under Rose’s care. We hardly spend time apart.”
The air was tense with animosity.
Rosalie felt ill at ease.
Cynthia felt uncomfortable as well. She could sense Theodore behaving aggressively toward Sebastian over Rosalie.
Hardly spent time apart?
Theodore scoffed. “That can’t be for real. Don’t you know that Rose
“Mr. Spencer,” Rosalie cut him off, and glared at him with a warning look. “Aren’t you and Ms. Zeller supposed to go for lunch? Hurry on. Seb and I are leaving.”
“Yes, yes,” Cynthia said with a smile. “Theo, let’s not interrupt Rosalie and her husband. They look busy.”
Cynthia didn’t like Rosalie and Theodore seeing each other. It made her feel very uneasy. She was afraid that Theodore might go back on his word.
The air became tense once again, as if time had come to a standstill.
“Seb, let’s go.” Rosalie wanted to take Sebastian away from this place.
The look on Theodore’s face turned cold. Suddenly, he said, “Wait. It

must be fate that we bumped into each other here. Let’s have lunch together. My treat.”
Rosalie turned around, and said with furrowed brows, “No need. I don’t want to bother you two.”
“No such thing. Cindy and I have all the time in this world to spend with each other, but it’s rare for the four of us to meet. Let’s have a meal. Don’t go anywhere else. The manager wouldn’t need to feel bad canceling on you two, too,” Theodore insisted.

Theodore seemed to have made up his mind about it.
Cynthia was shocked by Theodore’s suggestion, and became ill at ease. “Theo, wouldn’t it disrupt Rosalie and…”
“I think that’s a good idea,” Sebastian suddenly said, cutting Cynthia
off.
Rosalie’s heart leapt. She turned around, and looked at Sebastian in
shock.
Sebastian looked at Theodore. Lifting his chin, he said, “You’re right, such a chance is rare to come by.”
He then turned back to look at Rosalie. “Rose, shall we?”
He even sought Rosalie’s opinion on it.
“Seb, I…”
She wanted to reject the idea, but Sebastian tightened his grip over her hand and looked expectantly and pleadingly at her.
Rosalie sensed something from the look in his eyes.
She could sense that if she didn’t agree to Sebastian’s request and left the restaurant right now, Sebastian would surely let his imagination run wild back at home. Rather than leaving him to stew in his misery, she would rather let him find release and not make things difficult for himself.
Rosalie looked straight into Sebastian’s eyes, and nodded.
Theodore furrowed his brows. Seeing Sebastian and Rosalie exchanging glances, and the chemistry between them, fire burned in his chest. The pain was excruciating.
Despite the searing pain, he looked firm and resolute.
Rosalie turned around. “Alright, then ”
Cynthia was very upset upon hearing both Rosalie and Sebastian agree to Theodore’s suggestion. She wanted to say something, but when she turned around to glance at The Jore, she knew things were set in stone and she could do nothing to change it. The more she said, the pettier she would look,
Having known about Theodore’s attitude toward her, she didn’t dare to challenge him.
Before, she already said some things that angered him and depleted his patience toward her. She would have to bear with it, and keep her silence.
The manager heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the matter settled harmoniously between them.
He then brought the four of them to a quiet private lounge.
The moment they sat down, Rosalie said, “I need the washroom. Seb, come with me, won’t you?”
“Sure.” Seb left together with Rosalie.
Cynthia snuck a glance at Theodore. “They seem very close. They’re even going to the washroom together.”
She seemed to be insinuating something, but what she said was factual and there was nothing to avoid.
“Go ahead and place our orders first,” Theodore said coldly.
Cynthia could sense his aloofness, and smiled awkwardly. “Let’s wait for Rosalie and her husband to order together.”
She specifically emphasized the address “husband“, as if it were a
reminder to Treadore.
Theodore sad nothing further, and wate quiety.
When Rosale and Sebastien arrived at a quiet place, she stopped in fer tracks
“Sen are you upset in any WEN Ste added in al seriousness. Tell
me the truth
After a moment’s silence. Sebestian rocced. To be honest, I’m a Ittle upset to bump into your exhusband here. Youle even pregrant with his chic. I don’t feel comfortable about that et all”
Sebestian looked down.
I’m sorry, Rose. I know this isn’t your faut.”
He walked to her, and held her hand.
“I said I’m uncomfortable about it because I feel indignant for you, not because I’m judging you. I’m sure you were hurt very deeply by him. He and that woman probably behaved inappropriately while you were stil married to him, right?” –

Chapter 595
Rosalie nodded, “Yes,”
“Rose, do you still love him?” Sebastian asked darkly.
Rosalie lifted her head at Sebastian’s question. “I’ve known him for close to eleven years, and I’ve loved him for a long time. But everything that has happened this far has depleted all my feelings for him. I have no desire whatsoever to go back to him.”
Sebastian’s heart broke at her words.
“Seb, I’m a little worried about you having lunch with him. Why did you…”
Rosalie didn’t go on, but her eyes were filled with doubts.
“I want to get to know him afresh,” Sebastian explained. “Perhaps it can trigger my lost memories. Rose, don’t be so protective of me. Don’t worry, I won’t fight with him. I just want to know what your previous lover is like.”
After a moment of silence, Rosalie said, “Seb, Theo doesn’t yet know that I’m pregnant, so…”
“I won’t tell him. He’s not worthy of that.” Sebastian held her shoulders. “Rose, no matter what, I’ll treat the baby in your stomach as mine and love him like my own. You don’t need to worry at all.”
Rosalie looked straight into Sebastian’s eyes, her eyes glinting with emotions. She had now idea how she managed to get so lucky to meet Sebastian.
She was very touched by everything he had done for her, but reality reminded her clearly that it was impossible between Sebastian and her.
She didn’t have the courage to love anyone right now.
Rosalle nodded.
Theodore sat at the table, and glanced at his watch many times,
Cynthia could sense his frustration “Theo, why don’t I go check out what’s going on?”
Theodore said coldly, “No nee
The moment he said so, he looked in the direction of the washroom and announced darkly, “I’ll go.”
He was about to stand up, when he saw Sebastian and Rosalie emerge from a distance,
He immediately sat back down and remained calm and composed as usual, as if he hadn’t been irritated just a second ago.
Cynthia noticed everything, and started to panic. Her fingers subconsciously gripped the hem of her shirt as hatred flashed past/ the depths of her eyes.
After Rosalie sat down with Sebastian, Cynthia said with a smile befitting of a host, “You two are so close, you’re a match made in heaven.”
‘A cheap woman like her is only worthy of someone like Sebastian, thought Cynthia.
Although Sebastian was handsome, being handsome was nothing compared to being loaded,
How could Sebastian compare with Theodore? Theodore was the CEO of SK Enterprise, and who was Sebastian? He was just a waiter!
Rosalie was probably going to be the one footing the bill at a restaurant like this, since she kept a handsome but good–for–nothing bum like Sebastian around,
Cynthia felt smug to no end, but she kept a gentle and polite look on her face.
Theodore glanced indifferently at Cynthia, but upon closer look, there was a tinge of displeasure in his eyes.
Cynthia saw the displeasure on his face from the corner of her eyes, but she didn’t dare to turn to look at him. Her heart trembled with
fear.
Rosalie was a married woman now. Was it wrong of her to give her her blessings? If Theodore loved her so much, why did he divorce her in the first place?
Sebastian smiled warmly, and put his hand over Rosalie’s hand on her knees. Although it was under the table, everyone could tell how intimate they were.

“Ms. Zeller and Mr. Spencer are a great match, too. You two have probably known each other for a long time,” Sebastian said.
“Yes,” Cynthia said. “Theo and I have known each other for a long
time.”
“Has it been ten years?” Sebastian asked her back, doubtful. “Rose and Mr. Spencer have known each other for eleven years, right?”
The air tensed up; Rosalie tugged Sebastian’s arm gently, signaling him to stop harping on the subject.
Sebastian looked at the displeased expression on Theodore’s face, feeling exhilarated at achieving his goal.
“Waiter,” Sebastian called.
The manager walked in with a waiter.
Rosalie saw the waiter behind the manager, and was stunned for a moment. Shock flashed past her eyes as she muttered, “It’s you.”
Lily was also stunned to see all of them. “Hello, Ms. Young, Mr. Carter.”
Lily never expected to see them at the restaurant. Theodore glanced at Lily, and asked, “Do you know them?”
Rosalie gave Sebastian a look; she was about to open her mouth and say something, but she hesitated and stopped herself.
Theodore and Cynthia were around, and it wasn’t appropriate for her to say much.
Sebastian looked at Rosalie, doubt in his eyes. “What’s the matter?”
He looked at Lily and found her rather familiar, but he didn’t remember who she was. He even found her unworthy of him

remembering her.
Lily looked confused upon seeing Sebastian’s expression, as though he didn’t know her at all. Come to think of it, that wasn’t strange. In fact, it was very normal for someone important like Sebastian to not remember who she was. It was also rather awkward since they had
met before.
She tried to recall the circumstces of their previous meeting. Mr. Carter was pretending that there was a girl he fancied whose name was Lily. Coincidentally, that was her name and she was called over to put on an act. The one he truly fancied was probably this Ms. Young before her.
“Nothing. I’ve met Ms. Yancey before, but I didn’t expect to bump into her here,” Rosalie said.
“Oh, I see,” the manager said. “She’s our best waiter, and I’ve arranged for her to serve you.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay.”
The four of them picked up the menus, and started placing their
orders.
“Seb, what do you want to eat?”
“What about you?” Sebastian asked her back.
Rosalie browsed through the menu, and said, “How about this? I’ll eat whatever you eat.”
This time, she wanted to take Sebastian’s lead.
Sebastian looked through the menu, and made his choice. “How about the Greek slow roasted leg of lamb? It looks delicious.”
Rosalie hesitated for a moment at Sebastian’s suggestion to order lamb, but she nodded anyway. “Alright, then. Me too…”
+18 BERIS
Theodore smacked the menu shut and exclaimed, “Don’t you know Rose doesn’t like eating lamb, Mr. Carter?”
Sebastian furrowed his brows, and looked at Rosalie. “Do you not like eating lamb?”
Rosalie smiled awkwardly. “Not at all. Lamb is a good choice.”
Rosalie said so to ease the tension in the air, but Theodore refused to let her have her way, and said coldly, “You’ve never enjoyed eating lamb. One time I ordered lamb for you, you almost vomited. Did you forget? You can’t stand the taste of lamb.”
Theodore was mocking Sebastian for not even knowing that Rosalie didn’t eat lamb. He didn’t know a thing about Rosalie, so how could he marry her?
The smile on Rosalie’s face stiffened. She turned to look at
Theodore,and shot him a cold glare.
“Mr. Spencer, people change. They don’t always stay the same. You know this very well, don’t you?”

The aloofness in Rosalie’s eyes pierced through Theodore’s heart. He smiled helplessly, and asked, “Does that mean you want lamb?”
“Why not? Lamb’s pretty delicious like whatever Seb likes to eat.” Rosalie turned to Sebastian, and said, “Let’s order lamb.”
She sounded like she was saying it out of spite, and Sebastian could
sense it.
He wasn’t sure if Rosalie liked eating lamb right now, but since she didn’t like it in the past, he didn’t want to take the risk. She probably wouldn’t feel comfortable eating something she didn’t fully enjoy.
“Rose, I suddenly don’t feel like having lamb. Let’s have something else. Why don’t you choose?” he offered.
Rosalie didn’t actually want to eat lamb, and she said what she said out of spite. On second thought, she shouldn’t force herself to eat lamb out of anger over Theodore. If she got nauseous, it would blow
her cover.
She stared at the menu, suddenly at a loss for what to order.
“Braised beef,” Theodore suddenly spoke up. “It’s your favorite.”
Theodore turned to the waiter, and said, “I want one braised beef. Rose, order that too. You love eating that.”
Rosalie furrowed her brows, slightly displeased. Theodore was seizing every chance he could get to provoke and challenge them.
“I’ve gotten sick of eating braised beef,” Rosalie countered coldly. ” Two tropical seafood paella, thank you.”
Rosalie returned the menu to Lily.
It was Theodore’s turn to furrow his brows. “Is that so? Gotten sick
of it? Then tell me, what are you not sick of eating?”
“Why must I tell you? Who are you to me?” Rosalie said with a small smile. “Mr. Spencer, you should be taking care of your girlfriend.”
Cynthia smiled awkwardly. “I want braised beef too, as well as a bottle of red wine. Which red wine do you want to have?”
“No need,” Rosalie and Theodore said at the ame time.
They immediately exchanged glances, sensing something was wrong.
Rosalie was pregnant and couldn’t drink, but why did he feel as though something was wrong?
Rosalie said, “I don’t want to drink. Please give me a glass of fruit juice. Anything works.”
Theodore said, “I don’t want to drink, too. Give me a glass of fruit juice, the same as hers.”
Theodore seemed to be bent on antagonizing her.
Rosalie furrowed her brows. “No, don’t make the same fruit juices
for us.”
Lily glanced at Theodore and then back at Rosalie, looking lost. What exactly was going on? Why did she feel such tension in the air?
“I don’t want to drink, either. Please give me a glass of fruit juice, the same as my wife’s.” Sebastian said,
Lily nodded. “Okay.”
She looked at all three of them before finally looking at Cynthia, asking. “What kind of red wine would you like?”
Cynthia forced a smile, and tried to suppress the displeasure bubbling in her chest. “I won’t drink too. Give me a glass of fruit

juice, the same as Theo’s.”
With that, Cynthia looked at Theodore and smiled coyly.
Lily flashed them a professional smile, with mixed feelings in her heart.

What exactly were the four of them up to?
Theodore’s face turned cold, and he remained silent.
Upon noticing his silence, Lily put the menus aside and said, “Alright, your orders will be coming right up.”
After Lily left, the air in the room turned strange.
The four of them ended up staring at each other. The air in the room was stiff and awkward, and was in dire need of something to break the silence.
Cynthia said, “Oh yes, Rosalie. Do you know that I’m getting discharged today?”
Rosalie gave her a small smile, and said perfunctorily, “Is that so? Congratulations. You look like you’re all recovered.”
“Yeah, it’s all thanks to Theo, who spared no effort to save me and did so much for me. Of course I have to do all I can to survive this.” Oh, yes, there’s one more thing. I’m getting married to Theo the day. after tomorrow.” Cynthia’s eyes were glinting with excitement.
Rosalie was stunned upon hearing the news. She heard many times about Theodore wanting to marry Cynthia, and even heard about the promise he made to Cynthia.
Yet, at this moment, hearing about them getting married the day after tomorrow in such a peaceful and harmonious setting, it suddenly became so real to her in a way that she had never felt before.
She felt like a character in the story of the boy who cried wolf- except this time, the wolf was really here. She believed the wolf was here.
“Congratulations, Sebastian said with a smile. Looks like I have to prepare a gift for you two.”
Sebastian was quite happy to hear that they were getting married.
“No need for that. Would you two be free to attend our wedding?” Cynthia said.
“We’ll have to pass,” Rosalie said. ““Seb and I have something on, and won’t be free the day after tomorrow. I’ll send someone over with a
gift*
“I see,” Cynthia said with disappointment. “What a pity.”
Perhaps it was a good thing Rosalie didn’t attend the wedding, lest Theodore regret his decision on the day of the wedding.
They went on chatting idly. Theodore’s gaze would occasionally land on Rosalie and Sebastian, and then turn cold.
“Mr. Carter, I heard you lost your memories and forgot everything. It seems to me, however, that you haven’t forgotten about Rose,” Theodore said.
Sebastian looked at Rosalie with a gentle smile. “Even if I forgot everyone in this world, I wouldn’t forget Rose.”
“Oh, I see,” Theodore said in a tone laced with doubts. “That’s nice, forgetting everything except for a single person. I wonder if it’s a coincidence, a miracle, or that your memory has a will of its own that can be controlled.”
Theodore was insinuating something, as if hinting that Sebastian had done it on purpose.
Sebastian may have lost his memories, but he could catch Theodore’s hint that he was lying.
He grabbed Rosalie’s hand and placed it on the table, saying
FIA BORUS
solemnly and emphatically, “How could I so easily forget someone carved in the core of my being? Even if I forgot everything, I wouldn’t forget her. I’m not like someone else, pandering over another woman while married and embarrassing the entire male population.”
The tension in the room was growing once again, and it made Rosalie feel uneasy.
She shot Theodore a pleading look when she saw him about to clap back at Sebastian and gave him a slight shake of her head, signaling him not to say anything further.
Theodore really wanted to punch Sebastian in the face, but he knew he didn’t have the right to do so. The fact was, he had lost the right due to his foolishment.
The pleading look in Rosalie’s eyes right now, her begging him for the sake of another man and caring about another man so deeply, was a punch to Theodore’s gut. Ho
Chapter 599
For Rosalie’s sake, he couldn’t start fighting Sebastian. It would only hurt her badly.
“That’s right,” Theodore said indifferently.
He said nothing further beyond th
Sebastian had thought that Theodore would clap back with a retort, and didn’t expect him to agree with his words.
Although he didn’t remember much about Theodore, he had a very strong negative feeling about him. He felt that Theodore wasn’t one to agree so readily to what others say, especially his rival in love.
Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Theodore not pick a fight with Sebastian.
At the very least, Theodore backed down.
Cynthia furrowed her brows. “Theo, what’s going on?”
Sebastian was clearly provoking Theodore. Why was he not getting angry at all? He even agreed to Sebastian’s words. Was he mad? Was he holding himself back for Rosalie’s sake?
Cynthia was fuming.
Rosalie didn’t enjoy this meal one bit. She didn’t expect to bump into them here, and least of all, that she would have lunch with Theodore and Cynthia.
The four of them didn’t talk much after that.
After lunch, Theodore asked, “Where are you two planning to go after lunch?”
“We’ll be walking around,” Rosalie said.
Tet’s go together the four of us.”

Upon sensing the tension build up again, Rosalie immediately said, You two have such high status in society. Please don’t joke around like this.”
Cynthia was confused by Rosalie’s words. Theodore was clearly the only one with a high status in society. That description had nothing to do with Sebastian, who was a mere waiter. What’s the big deal
with him?
Rosalie was shameless enough to say something like that. Was she trying to boost her husband’s ego? How sad.
Theodore crossed his arms against his chest and took a deep breath. “Okay.”
He decided to stop playing a fool, and listen to Rosalie.
He then signaled for the waiter. “The bill, please.”
Lily walked over with the bill in hand.
Theodore was about to take the bill, when Sebastian beat him to it and grabbed the bill. “Let me.”
He signed his name on the bill, and pulled out a card from his pocket
Theodore furrowed his brows, he was about to say something, when Rosalie said, “Let Sebastian take this. It’ll be our treat this time ”
“That’s not too good,” Cynthia said. Theo oked the entire restaurant. It won’t be cheap.”
“Do you think I can’t afford #t?” Sebastian looked coldly at Cynthia. She looked like a nasty person right from the get go, and she disgusted him
Cynthia smiled. “Why would I think so? I just think there’s no need for you to go to such an expense, when it’s just peanuts for Theo”
Lily sensed something wrong with Cynthia’s words. Why does this lady sound as though she thinks that Mr. Carter is very poor?
Sebastian was the CEO of Skycrest Enterprise. If he were poor, there wouldn’t be rich people in this world.
Sebastian ignored Cynthia, and said to Lily, “Take it.”
“Okay, Mr. Carter,” Lily said as she took the card.
She addressed him very courteously, as if trying to remind someone of something

Chapter 600
Cynthia was stunned to hear Lily’s tone.
Why was she addressing him so formally?
She was about to ask further, but Lily left before she had a chance to.
Rosalie saw the direction that Lily walked away in and stood up, as if thinking of something. “Pardon me, I need the washroom.”
She turned to say to Sebastian, “Seb, wait for me for a while.”
Sebastian nodded. “Shall I go with you?”
“No need. Just wait for me here.”
With that, Rosalie left.
As she walked off, a feeling of uneasiness made her text Theodore.
[Don’t bully Seb, please.]
Theodore replied to her text. [Okay.]
Rosalie texted back, [Thank you.]
Lily was settling the bill with Sebastian’s card when Rosalie walked over to her. “Ms. Yancey.”
Lily turned around, and asked, “Ms. Young, is something the matter?”
“May I chat with you privately?” Rosalie asked.
Lily nodded. “Sure.”
“Shall we find a quiet place?”
1/3-
“Sure. Come with me.”
Lily led Rosalie to an empty room, and asked, “Ms. Young, what’s the matter? Is there a problem somewhere?”
“There is a problem somewhere.”
“Is there something lacking in my service? C do you have issues with the restaurant itself? Please feel free to share your thoughts. I’ll convey your feedback to the manager.”
“It’s not a problem with the restaurant, but it’s regarding you and Seb.” *
“Mr. Carter and I?” Lily didn’t fully understand where Rosalie was going. “What is it between Mr. Carter and I? We did meet once the last time and you were there as well, but it seems like he has forgotten me.”
“Ms. Yancey, it’s like this. Seb lost his memories due to an accident.”
“I see. Will he get better?” Lily looked rather concerned.
Rosalie nodded.
“He will,” she said, “but before that happens, I want to help him out. Seb likes you too, so…”
“What did you say?” Lily was extremely shocked. “Mr. Carter likes me?”
Rosalie nodded. “Yes. Has he never shared that with you?”
“Well…” Lily’s mind was in a mess. She had no prior interactions whatsoever with Sebastian, how could he possibly like her?
They did meet once, but that was only because she was dragged to the place by Sebastian’s sister. They didn’t meet each other after that, and now, Rosalie was telling her that he liked her? It was
2/3
unbelievable!
What’s more, from their conversation, it seemed as though Rosalie and Sebastian were now a married couple.
She didn’t understand what Rosalie misunderstood. Or did something happen that she was unaware of?
She didn’t think someone like Sebastian, who didn’t have any prior interactions with her, would start thinking of her that way just from that one encounter. She didn’t believe that such a fantasy would happen in real life.
“Ms. Yancey, Seb probably confessed his feelings for you but you rejected him and even reconciled with your boyfriend. I don’t really understand, what kind of man would make you reject Seb?”
Lily was utterly confused. She felt her brain reeling out of control and on the verge of collapse.
“When did Mr. Carter confess to me? What’s going on? Ms. Young must have misunderstood something, but what kind of
misunderstanding would make her say something like this? she thought.
