Yvonne took a sip of her drink as she continued staring at her favorite couple. She silently cheered, "Go for it!"


    "Why aren''t you saying anything?" Sebastian asked when he saw that Rosalie was in a daze. He raised his hand, and waved it gently in front of her eyes. "What''s going on, Rose? What''s happened now?"


    Rosalie quickly shook her head. "It''s nothing. I just want to tell you something."


    "What is it?"


    Nervous, Rosalie tugged at the hem of her shirt. Finally, she lifted her head and said, "Didn''t you mention before that we could have a fake marriage?"


    Sebastian frowned. "Why bring that up?"


    "Let''s go see your father and tell him we''re in a rtionship. Even if you have to get married, you''ll marry me," Rosalie said in one breath.


    A look of surprise shed across Sebastian''s face. "Rose, do you know what you''re saying?"


    "I do." Rosalie raised her voice. "Seb, I know exactly what I''m saying. Let''s go see your father right now."


    She grabbed his hand and tried to lead him out, but Sebastian remained unmoved.


    Feeling that he wasn''t moving, Rosalie turned around. "What''s wrong? Don''t you want to?"


    Sebastian freed his hand gently from hers, and shook his head. "I don''t want to."


    "Why not?" Rosalie asked in confusion. "Didn''t you propose this idea?"


    "I did, but..." Sebastian sighed. "That was ast resort, and you rejected it, didn''t you?"


    "But I''ve changed my mind." She had changed her mind the moment she saw Tammy using drugs.


    "Rose, I don''t want to put you on the spot." Sebastian looked worried. "I know you''re willing to make this sacrifice for me, but I don''t want you to." "This isn''t a sacrifice. We''re friends, and I''m just helping you out."Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Rosalie didn''t see it as a sacrifice.


    "But you''re only marrying me to help me. It''s your future we''re talking about."


    "I''m fine," Rosalie said. "It''s a fake marriage, anyway. Once this thing blows over, we''ll get a divorce. The important thing is to get through this crisis Otherwise, you''ll have to marry Tammy. I saw her today, and she was using drugs. Do you really want to marry her?"


    Seeing Sebastian''s calm expression, Rosalie was surprised. "Do you know about it?"


    Sebastian said calmly, "Yes. Rose, I appreciate what you''re doing, but I don''t want you to sacrifice your happiness."


    "I''m not sacrificing my happiness." Rosalie grabbed his wrist. "Helping my good friend is my happiness too."


    "But..." Sebastian stared at her. "Is doing all this for me worth it?"


    "You''re worth it!"


    Rosalie emphasized each word.


    "Every time I''m hurt or sad, you''re always there for me. When I''m sick, you take care of me. When I face problems, you alwaysfort mez with endless patience. You always consider my feelings, and you even got into a fight to protect me. As a friend, you''ve been so loyal to me. So now, please give me a chance to repay you. I can help you with your problem!"


    If one didn''t help a loyal friend in need, then one wasn''t worthy of having a friend.


    Standing aside, Yvonne wiped the tears from her eyes. Goodness, what Rosalie said was so touching! Even she was deeply moved.


    Sebastian''s eyes reddened as he silently stared at Rosalie. For a long time, he said nothing.


    Rosalie tugged at his sleeve. "You''ve helped me through my toughest times. Now, let me help you through yours."


    "Seb, you should agree," Yvonne cut in.


    Yvonne couldn''t stand it any longer. She rushed forward, grabbed Sebastian''s arm, and shook it hard.


    "This is the perfect solution! Dad can ept Rose as a daughter-inw. If


    you two get a fake marriage, he


    won''t force you to marry anyone else. It''s just a fake marriage to get you through this crisis."


    Sebastian raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Rosalie''s eyes. Then, he nodded.
