Rosalie was silent for a long time. "Sebastian, so much has happened between us, but please believe that everything will work out. I''ve been by your side all this time. Can you not...pressure me?"


    Seeing the redness in Rosalie''s eyes, Sebastian lowered his gaze, thought for a moment, then took her arm. "Rose, I never wanted to pressure you. I was just confused, and now that you''ve told me, I feel..."


    "Are you angry?" Rosalie asked. "If you''re angry, just tell me."


    Sebastian shook his head. "No, I''m not angry. I''m just very sad. And deep down, I feel like I''ve always known."


    "Seb, I''m sorry I''ve upset you."


    "Rose, if you can''t answer my questions directly, it must mean this is veryplicated. If you don''t want to talk about it, that''s fine. I know it''s for my own good, and I won''t pressure you. But promise me, if somethinges up, you''ll tell me. I won''t force you to do anything you don''t want to do. I just want you to be happy. I''ll listen to whatever you say."


    Sebastian''s understanding and kindness made Rosalie feel veryforted. She nodded and gently patted his hand. "Alright, I promise. But you also have to promise me not to overthink things. If you have doubts, you can ask me."


    "Okay, I will," Sebastian replied softly.


    Rosalie took out a few tissues, and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You should rest now, Seb. It''s veryte."


    "You''re not sleeping here tonight?"


    Rosalie shook her head. "No, I''ll sleep in the next room. Since I''m pregnant, it''s morefortable for me to sleep alone." Sebastian stared at her belly for a long time. Rosalie felt uneasy.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    "Seb, if you have any concerns, just say so. Are you unhappy that I married you while carrying my ex-husband''s child?"


    "No," Sebastian said quickly. "I


    believe you. Since I knew about this


    before we got married, it doesn''t


    bother me. Even now, I feel the


    same way. It''s just... I''m still in


    shock It''s hard to process all


    once, especially since I''ve lost my memory. Finding out my wife is pregnant with another man''s child is


    a lot to take in..."


    He bit his lip, unsure of what to say next.


    "Seb, you''ve handled this very well. Even with your memory loss, you''ve tried to ept everything. I''m proud of you," she said. Sebastian looked at her, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Really?"


    Rosalie nodded. "Yes, really."

    He gave a bitter smile. "You''re proud epting that my wife s with another man''s child. It all feels a bit ridiculous."


    She looked down, resigned. "Yes, it''s quite ridiculous."


    They both smiled bitterly, then looked at each other.


    She smiled slightly. "Seb, go to sleep. I''ll see you tomorrow."


    Sebastian watched Rosalie leave. After the door closed, he copsed onto the bed, staring nkly at the ceiling, his eyes unfocused. He felt like his soul had been sucked out of his body.


    He closed his eyes tightly; the painful memories slowly seeped back into his mind, each one a sharp thorn, causing him immense agony.
