Sebastian still cared very much for her. How could he bear to add to her pain when she was already in such sorrow?
She had just given birth two months ago, and her health wasn''t in great condition. He specifically asked the doctor about it and was told they could only be intimate at least three monthster.
He could wait. He didn''t want to hurt her physically.
Eventually, he just held Rosalie in his arms and hugged her.
Rosalie cried for a long time in his arms until she was exhausted and fell asleep.
After a while, when Sebastian saw she was deep in sleep, he released her and got out of bed to prepare a hot towel in the washroom. He then returned to her and gently wiped her face with the towel.
He did it so softly and gently, afraid that he might wake her up.
His heart ached as he looked at her face, which was all red and swollen from crying. Her brows were still furrowed tight despite being asleep, as if she were in a nightmare. Even her breathing was ragged.
''Theodore Spencer,'' Sebastian muttered under his breath, ''why do you have to disrupt our lives? You clearly did it maliciously!''
Thankfully, Sebastian found out Theodore wasing here beforehand and had time to prepare. Otherwise, the consequences of his sudden visit would have been dire.
Justst night, Sebastian received a call from Sydney. He was suspicious about receiving her call, and his tone wasn''t pleasant.
"Mrs. Harper, I don''t understand. Why are you calling me?"
"I''m calling you because I have something to tell you that can help you."
"Help me?" Sebastian sneered. "Mrs. Harper, what''s going on with you? Why are you helping me? You can even say we''re considered enemies."
Hearing the word ''enemies'', Sydney smiled bitterly. "Would you believe me if I told you that I don''t see you as my enemy?"
"So what if I don''t? We''re enemies. I still remember what you said before as clearly as day."
Sydney fell silent.
"If there''s nothing else, I''m hanging up." Sebastian didn''t want to talk to her anymore.
"Wait!" Sydney said. "I have something important to tell you."
"Cut the crap and say your piece."
"Theo will be going to Melrine to find Rose."
"What did you say?" Sebastian''s brows furrowed at the news, his face turning solemn. "Really?"
"Yes, I''m not lying to you. His
girlfriend told me that. You should be prepared. Until now, Theo still doesn''t know that Rose gave birth to his baby. If he finds out, he''ll take her and his baby back no matter rwhat. You two are definitely going to fight."
"Since he''s here, he''ll find out that Rose gave birth to his child. How
can we avoid that? Since mel
calling, you must have an idea."
"Don''t let Theo know that Rose''s baby is
inexis. You''re the father of t child. Even if he sees the babyelet
insist that is the truth."
Sebastian sneered, "Even if I insist, Rose would surely tell him."
"Then don''t give her the chance to do so. Seb, you''re a smart man. You know what you should do. If you fail, you''ll lose Rose." "How do I know you''re not lying to me? Are you setting a trap for me?"
"If I really am, why would I tell you this? Whether you believe me or not, Seb, I''m telling you the truth. I''m not trying to harm you."N?velDrama.Org exclusive content.
"You''re not trying to harm me, but you''re hurting your own son," Sebastian said coldly. "What exactly is your goal?"
This woman was acting strangely; she was helping him, an enemy, instead of her son.
The more Sebastian thought about it, the more he found it strange.
