Rosalie pursed her lips. "It''s okay. You''re not really talking about him behind his back."


    "That''s good. I''m frank, but I don''t have bad intentions. I''m d you don''t hold it against me."


    Sydney enjoyed her lunch, while Rosalie and Sebastian seemed unusually quiet. It was as if Sydney had made the atmosphere awkward.


    In the middle of the meal, Rosalie suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom-amon issue for pregnant women.


    "I need thedies. You all continue eating." Rosalie got up, and left the dining room.


    Sebastian, wanting to be a good host, said politely, "Sydney, I know you care about Rose. Rest assured, I''ll treat her well."


    "But you''ve lost your memory. You don''t remember anything from before. How can you promise to treat her well when you don''t know anything?" Sydney asked bluntly.


    Sebastian''s smile froze, though he didn''t appear upset. It was just that his gaze became somber. "I''m her husband. Even if I''ve lost my memory, I won''t forget how to treat her well. Rosalie and I will create new memories together."


    "New memories?" Sydney chuckled. "Like yesterday, when you falsely used my son in the restaurant, making Rose feel sorry for you—it''s truly unforgettable."


    Sebastian''s expression immediately turned cold. Since Sydney was being so blunt, he didn''t feel the need to pretend, either.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    He put down his cutlery. "Sydney, did youe here today to criticize me?"


    Even though he was displeased, he continued to speak politely for Rosalie''s sake.


    "I''m not here to criticize you, but to express my admiration. As


    Geoffrey''s son, you''re indeed impressive. Theo is no match for you in this aspect. If Theo''s prowess lies in visible bloodshed, yours is in bloodless killing. I should tell Theo to learn from you."


    Sebastian smiled. "Since you put it that way, I''ll be honest with you. Theodore does have a lot to learn, such as how to treat his wife properly, and perhaps..."


    "How he treats his wife is none of your concern Do you really believe that your marriage to Rose is genuine? Even if you''ve lost your memory, I can see in your eyes that you know something. You may able to deceive Rose, but you can''t deceive me. You''re just exploiting her guilt."

    Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    "You do," Sydney responded coldly. "You know better than anyone. What happened in the restaurant


    yesterday only makes me admire


    your quick thinking. Before Roet


    could process what happened, you admitted your mistake. You show you''re capable of learning from your mistakes, while ensuring her view of you remains unchanged. You killed two birds with one stone."


    "Heh," Sebastian chuckled softly. "You guessed right. I wonder if Theo has weaned off. Does he need to tell you everything, and have youe to defend him? Come to think of it, I''m indeed stronger than him. At least I don''t run crying to my mother."


    "Are you feeling proud of yourself?" Sydney smirked, her gaze fixed on him. "Do you remember how you and your father conspired to trick Rose, using her kindness to get her to marry you?"


    "Tricked?" Sebastian scoffed. "How do you know it was a trick? So, you think Rose is foolish and easily deceived? You really underestimate her. I can see where your son gets his arrogance from-he clearly inherited it from you."
