"You silly billy! I gave you my passcode, didn''t I? You could have just gone in to wait for me. Why did you stay downstairs?" Sebastian gave her a warm smile. "You weren''t home, and I can''t possibly just stay in your house. That''s your ce."


    He knew clearly where the boundariesy.


    Rosalie said helplessly, "You''re so silly. Remember, my house is your house, too. You can just go in. Don''t be like this next time. What if it''s winter, and it''s snowing outside? Will you just stand here and wait?"


    Sebastian nodded. "I will."


    He had such a silly look on his face, but he was a handsome man to begin with. A handsome fool was an inexplicably mesmerizing sight to behold. Rosalie sighed helplessly. They were both men, but why was one a bastard to the extreme while another was kind to the extreme?


    "What happened here?" Rosalie lifted a hand and caressed his lips, finding it dry and chapped, even bleeding.


    Her simple move made Sebastian''s eyes light up. He shook his head, and said, "Nothing. Maybe I haven''t had a sip of water for a long time."


    "Silly. Can''t you tell whether you haven''t had enough water to drink? Your lips are so dry, they''re bleeding."Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m fine." Although Rosalie was scolding him, she was doing it out of concern for him. Sebastian''s heart was filled with warmth.


    Rosalie pressed her palm against his back, looking as though she was embracing him. "Let''s head up."


    She could sense Sebastian''s somber mood. Although he was smiling at her, his eyes were dull.


    From behind, they looked very close and intimate. Rosalie would even pat his back asionally, and whisper something into his ear.


    Sydney watched the scene before her from a distance. She had wanted to call out to Rosalie, but upon seeing the two of them turn to walk upstairs and looking so intimate, she didn''t do anything except for watching them in silence until they disappeared out of sight.


    Sydney was about to drive off earlier, but when she thought back about what happened today, she felt that she should speak more with Rosalie about it.


    To her surprise, when she turned back, she witnessed a man waiting for Rosalie.


    Rosalie treated him very tenderly, and they looked like a match made in heaven. They were in a world where Theodore didn''t exist.


    Theodore was her child, after all. Sydney couldn''t possibly remain neutral without any bias toward her own son.


    Yet, she was very disappointed in him. She had no right to stop Rosalie from being close to another man.


    Sydney sighed, and turned to leave.


    Rosalie brought Sebastian upstairs.


    Sebastian looked downcast. She brought him to the couch, and poured him a ss of warm water. She touched his hand, and found it slightly cold. So, she went into her room to grab a nket for him. “Seb, talk to me if there''s anything on your mind. I''ll definitely help you if I can. Don''t keep it to yourself." Sebastian smiled weakly. "I''m fine, Rose."


    "No, there''s something wrong," Rosalie said, worried. "I know your father must have done something to you. Was it because you refused to marry the woman he arranged for you. Is that why he chased you out of the family?"


    "Rose, don''t worry about it. I''ll take care of

    from now on."


    "No," Rosalie said, shaking her head. "He''ll continue interfering with your life. He''s a control freak, and heft make sure your life is a living hell even after chasing you out of the family."
