Rosalie found it hard to believe that such an outstanding man like Sebastian was still single. She
was sure that truckloads of women adored him. She wondered what kind of woman he would
fancy.
What woman would be worthy of his gentle kindness?
Rosalie’s nose turned red, and she rubbed it before squeezing out a smile. “I know what you mean.
I’ll lock it up and put it in a corner.”
Since her love didn’te to fruition, she didn’t want to be in pain over him for the rest of her life.
Just as Sebastian said, she would lock it up and bury her affections in the deepest, darkest corner
of her heart. She would let time bury those memories, and not let them.
affect her life.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Yvonne’s voice sounded from the other side. “Seb, do you want
lunch?”
Sebastian nced at the clock, and noticed that it was already noon.
“Rose, do you still feel unwell? Can you make it for lunch?”
Rosalie smiled. “I’m fine now.”
“All right, then. Shall I bring lunch up to your room? You can continue lying on the bed.” This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
“No need,” Rosalie said as she threw the covers open and got out of bed. “I’ll go wash up and head
to the dining room.”
“Okay,” Sebastian said, respecting her wishes as always.
The exhaustion etched all over Sebastian’s face made Rosalie say, ” You go wash up, too. I’ll see
you in the dining room.”
The three of them sat around the dining table during lunch. Yvonne was devouring her food
voraciously, while Sebastian and Rosalie took their time to enjoy the meal.
“Hey, why are you two eating so elegantly? I look like a hungry ghost!”
Sebastian, a furrow of his brow, said, “Just eat your food.”
“I am. You two, on the other hand… You’ve been together sincest night all the way till noon today.
Don’t you feel hungry?”
Rosalie’s spoon dropped on the table with a nk as her heart leapt. Did Yvonne misunderstand
things between them?
She hurriedly exined, “It’s not what you think. I…”
“Yvonne,” Sebastian said coldly, “If you continue spewing rubbish, go away.”
“I’m not! I meant what I said. I know that Rosalie fell sickst night, and you were taking care of her.
What did you think I meant?” Yvonne said with feigned innocence.
The two of them were so jittery and tense, it made one wonder
whether they had a guilty conscience.
Rosalie smiled awkwardly. She thought that Yvonne suspected there was something going on
between her and Sebastian.
Chuckling, she said, “Sebastian is a nice man, and I’m very thankful that he took care of mest
night. Given how delirious I was, things might have turned out terrible for me.”
With a smile, Yvonne teased, “Sebastian treats you so well. He really sees you as a very good
friend. I’ve never seen him treat his other friends so well.”

Rosalie wondered if she was an exception for Sebastian. She wished it weren’t the case.
“Yvonne, shut up,” Sebastian said irritably. “Even food can’t shut you up.”
“What’s wrong with chatting with Rose? You’re so dull! You’re making things awkward around here.
I’m helping you entertain our guest, but you’re telling me off.”
Thankfully, Yvonne wasn’t petty enough to count it against Sebastian.
It seemed as though this was exactly how the siblings interacted with each other, and Yvonne had
long gotten used to it. She wouldn’t have a falling out with Sebastian just because of something he
said. Their rtionship sounded rather healthy.
