Sebastian''s mind went numb upon seeing how enthusiastic Rosalie was at pairing him and Lily.


    Her excited expression was a rare sight. Yet, he had to witness it in this context.


    "How about this," Rosalie suggested, as yet another idea came to mind, "ask Lily out, and all four of us will head out for a meal."


    "The four of us?" Sebastian asked. "Which four?"


    "You, Lily, Vonnie, and me," Rosalie said. She looked straight at Sebastian, as if questioning the dy in his train of thought.


    "The four of us together?" Sebastian was confused. "But why?"


    "If you ask her out for a meal just between you two, it''ll look too much like a date. But if you and some friends ask her out, that makes things different. What''s more, with somedies around, she''ll feel more rxed. Didn''t you say that she recently broke up?"


    Sebastian said hesitatingly, "Yes...but will this really work?"


    The thing was, Lily didn''t even exist. He had made her up, so how was he going to ask her out?


    "Why are you so hesitant about this? You need to be more proactive in pursuing ady. This settles it. Ask Lily out tomorrow afternoon. I''m seriously curious about thisdy you fancy so much."Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    "Er..."


    Sebastian had no clue how things had progressed to this state.


    It was such a rare opportunity for some alone time with Rosalie, yet Lily had to spoil things for him. The worst part was that he had created this trouble for himself!


    "What? You don''t want to do it?"


    The hesitation in Sebastian''s eyes made Rosalie furrow her brows.


    "If you''re reluctant, forget it. Thest time you talked to me about it, I thought you really wanted me to give you ideas. But from the looks of it now, you''re not taking my suggestion anyway," she said with a sigh.


    "That''s not it," Sebastian assured her, fearing that she would get angry. He added anxiously, "I just don''t want to trouble you."

    "What trouble is there? I don''t mind


    it, so why should you? It''s also a good chance for me to make a new friend. I''m sure someone you fancy would be of great character."


    Rosalie suddenly felt the urge to see Sebastian enter a rtionship, even get married and have children.


    She didn''t know where this urge came from, but whatever it is, the desire came forth so strongly, as if seeing that happen to him would make her feel more at ease.


    "Yeah, she...she''s great," Sebastian said anxiously, a tinge of guilt in his voice.


    ''Silly girl'', he sighed inwardly. ''You''re her.''


    Lily never existed. Rosalie was always the only woman in his heart.


    ''What do you think about that?'' he silently asked Rosalie. Sebastian smiled uneasily.


    He didn''t want to disappoint Rosalie. Rejecting her would certainly upset her and even raise suspicions. She was also a smart and sharp woman capable of noticing what others couldn''t, like what she did with


    Regent Co.


    What''s more, it was rare of her to be this enthusiastic about something. Although it concerned setting. With anotherdy, he wanted to

    As long as she was happy, he would be too.


    "Alright. I''ll try asking her out," he finally said.


    Rosalie nodded. "Great! Whatever it is, you must muster the courage. One of you will have to take the initiative. If neither of you do, how will you be together?"


    She then thought about her and Theodore.


    He had always been a distant dream she could only watch from afar. Her eyes were always filled with love for him, but he never cared for her.


    He only cared for Cynthia, and only bothered being proactive toward her.
