Sebastianâs expression gradually became stiff, and despair flashed in his eyes for a brief moment.
After a long time, he pursed his lips and said, âYes, weâre just friends.â
Sensing Sebastianâs disappointment, Rosalle realized that she might have been too harsh.
âSeb, I didnât mean to blame you. I know youâre nervous seeing the girl you like right in front of you, and youâre avoiding her because youâre afraid she wonât like you. But if you this up, youâll never win a girlâs heart. If youâre afraid, youâll never dare to take the initiative.â
Sebastian smiled bitterly. âDo you really want me to be with her that much?â
âIsnât that what you want?â Rosalie asked him back. When you talked about her before, your eyes were filled with love. Seb, thatâs your wish. I just want to help you take the step youâre too scared to take. Once your problems are resolved, Iâm going to leave.â
Rosalie was referring not only to Sebastianâs romantic affairs, but also the matter between him and his father. Once Geoffrey met Sydney, only then would Sebastianâs issues be truly resolved, and she could leave.
Still, she couldnât tell Sebastian this.
âYouâre going to leave?â Sebastian frowned. âWhere will you go?â
âMy belly is getting bigger. I canât stay here too long, or Iâll be discovered. I need to go to a place where no one knows me to have the baby.â
Sebastian suddenly laughed.
Rosalie was puzzled. âWhatâs so funny?â
â
âRose, you say Iâm scared and not taking the initiative, but arenât you the same? Youâre pregnant with his child, but you donât dare to tell him. You endure all the suffering silently, planning to give birth to your baby somewhere else just to fulfill his wishes. Why donât you dare to tell Theodore?â
âIâ¦â Rosalieâs heart thumped. âHe wouldnât want this child. So whatâs the point of telling him?â
âThis is your child. You have the right to keep it. His opinion doesnât matter. Ultimately, youâre afraid.â Rosalie took a step back. She stared at Sebastian in disbelief, a wave of intense panic rising in her heart.
Clutching her dress, she lowered her head and muttered, âIâm not afraid. I just donât see why I need to tell him.â
âIs there really no need?â Sebastian asked. âAs the father of the child, doesnât he have the right to know? You donât even dare to tell your grandmother. Can you honestly say youâre not afraid?â
âWeâre talking about you now,â Rosalie said, somewhat frustrated. âIâll handle my own problems. You canât use my problems as an excuse to avoid yours. Weâre not the same.â
âSo, you admit youâre avoiding your problems.â Sebastian took a step forward. âSince weâre both avoiding our issues, whatâs the point of blaming each other? Letâs just cancel todayâs dinner. Iâll have Yvonne take Lily home, while Iâll take you home. Letâs just pretend nothing happened â
âThat wonât do,â Rosalle objected. âSheâs already here, and weâve just sat down. If you say itâs over now, how do you think sheâll feel? If you do this, sheâll definitely misunderstand. Ifâ¦â
âThen let her misunderstand, Sebastian said indifferently.

Rosalie was stunned. She even wondered if Sebastian really liked Lily. Otherwise, how could he be so
indifferent
When he mentioned Lily before, his eyes were full of love and anticipation. He had also sought advice from her on how to pursue Lily.
Today, she was helping him, but he was eager to escape.
