Sebastian spoke first. "Is the food to your liking?"


    Lily nodded. "It''s very delicious. Thank you for the hospitality."


    "You''re Rose''s friend, which means you''re also my friend. Of course, we''ll treat you well. However..." Sebastian paused.


    Lily asked, "However, what?"


    Sebastian put down his cutlery. "Miss Yancey, I must speak frankly. I feel like Rose has been trying very hard to give us some alone time since you arrived, as if we were very familiar with each other. Did we know each other before?"This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Seeing the confusion in Sebastian''s eyes, Lily was tempted to tell him the truth. However, she hesitated due to Rosalie. She wasn''t sure how to handle it.


    Although Sebastian had amnesia, his innate sensitivity allowed him to sense something. He asked, "Miss Yancey, if there''s something you need to tell me, please do. Don''t hide anything. You know my situation right now. I really want to know everything."


    "Didn''t Miss Young tell you everything?" Lily asked curiously.


    Sebastian smiled helplessly. "She mentioned some things, but not everything. I know she''s trying to protect me and is afraid I''d be upset, but she''s overprotecting me. I don''t want to be a sheltered flower. Miss Yancey, if you know something, please tell me, alright?"


    "Well..." Lily nced at the door, unsure if Rosalie was nearby.


    Seeing Lily''s hesitation, Sebastian said, "Please wait a moment."


    Sebastian left the dining room and returned less than a minuteter. "Miss Yancey, I just checked. Rosalie went to the backyard. You see, she''s giving us another chance to be alone. I really don''t understand why. As my wife, she''s too trusting of us."


    Sebastianughed awkwardly, but he knew what was really going on. He and Rosalie had a fake marriage. He had overheard her conversation with Christopher.


    When he found out, it was like a thunderbolt had struck him, but he pretended not to know anything.


    Lily was at a loss for words. It


    seemed Sebastian still didn''t know that his marriage with Rosalie was fake. It was rather pitiful; he had amnesia, and had forgotten everything from before.


    Everything was so unfamiliar to him right now, except Rosalie.


    She was the one he loved. He remembered he loved her, but Rosalie didn''t love him. Instead, she was pushing him toward another woman.


    Sebastian sat down. "Miss Yancey,


    don''t worry. No matter what you tell


    me


    ay, I''ll never tell Rose. I just


    know the things I don''t


    Please."


    Seeing Sebastian''s sincerity, Lily felt herself wavering. She suddenly found it hard to deceive him.


    After thinking for a moment, she said, "I can tell you, but you really must promise not to tell Miss Young."


    Sebastian looked at her earnestly. "I swear on my life that I won''t tell anyone."


    Sebastian''s gaze was charming and reassuring, drawing Lily closer involuntarily. Feeling a sudden impulse, she nodded.


    "Actually, don''t know much e et


    It''s just that... Miss Young has


    always thought that you liked me. You@ven confessed to me, but I rejected you," she exined.


    Sebastian was rather stunned to hear this. "You''re saying... I liked you? And I confessed, only to be rejected by you?"
