Just then, Sebastian walked over. "Rose, Chris, what are you two talking about?"


    Sebastian walked toward Rosalie, sat next to her, and hugged her around her shoulders.


    "Rose, Chris, what were you two talking about?" he repeated.


    "Just random things," Rosalie said with a smile.


    Sebastian didn''t press further, and asked, "Rose, can we go out for a stroll in the afternoon? I feel like I haven''t been out for such a long time. The doctor says I can go out for some fresh air."


    Rose nodded. “Of course, we can. Where do you want to go? I''ll bring you there."Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org.


    "Anywhere is fine," Sebastian said. "As long as you''re with me, I can go anywhere."


    "Alright, then. We''ll head out after lunch." Rosalie looked at Christopher, and asked, "What would you like to eat for lunch?"


    Christopher nced at Sebastian, and smiled. “No, thanks. I have a lunch appointment. I''ll join you two next time. Go to a restaurant for lunchter."


    With that, Christopher stood up and bade them farewell. "I''ll be off, then."


    Rosalie stood up too. "Let me walk you out."


    Christopher was about to reject her, but a thought came to mind and he nodded. “Sure."


    Sebastian wanted to follow them, but Christopher gave Rosalie a look.


    Rosalie caught the hint, and immediately understood what he meant. She turned to Sebastian. "Seb, sit here and let me walk Chris out. Stay here and wait for me."


    Sebastian nodded obediently. "Okay."


    Rosalie walked Christopher out.


    "Do you have something to say to me?" Rosalie could sense that something was off from the look in Christopher''s eyes just now, and that he wanted to tell her something without Sebastian around.


    Christopher nodded. "Yes. I have a question for you."


    "What is it?"


    "This question might be a little personal. I hope you don''t mind."


    Rosalie asked doubtfully, "And the question is..."


    "Have you and Seb...had sex?"


    Christopher''s question stunned Rosalie.


    "Why are you suddenly asking me that?" she said awkwardly.


    “Rose, please don''t misunderstand. I''m asking you this not because of what you it is, but..." Christopher was suddenly at a loss for words.


    "Of course not," Rosalie said. "Sebastian and I have never done something like that."


    Christopher looked like he had inwardly heaved a sigh of relief.


    He exined, "Rose, I don''t mean to humiliate you at all. I asked you that for reasons that I''m unable to reveal right now, but you''ll find out one day." "What exactly is the reason? Why are you unable to give me an exnation?" she asked doubtfully.


    "Well..." Christopher pondered for a


    moment before saying, "Rose, I


    really want to tell you the reason, but you''ll have to wait. Before that, hope nothing will happen between yout and Seb."


    Doubts filled Rosalie''s mind, but she knew Christopher wasn''t a careless man. He had his reasons for the words he said and the things he did. As for the specific reason behind his question, she believed he would tell her one day.


    "Alright, I got it. Although I don''t understand the reason why you''re telling me all these, I trust you''re careful and thoughtful enough.


    ????????


    Please don''t worry, nothing will


    happen between Seb and I. Not in the past, and not ever. Our marriage isn''t real, and we''ll get a divorce once the time is right."
