Whether it was Theodore or Sebastian, Rosalie only wanted to stay far away from both. She could raise Steve on her own.
As Rosalie turned to leave, Sebastian rushed forward and embraced her from behind. Rose, don’t go! Listen to me-please, just listen!
What else is there to say? The evidence is clear. There’s nothing left to explain. Are you going to say you didn’t do it? Are you going to claim the video is fake? Rosalie said.
Rosalie, the video is real. I did do those things, but I was desperate at that time! You have no idea how worried I was about you. I was going crazy trying to find you. I had no other choice but to go to Theodore. I thought he had imprisoned you, so I acted impulsively! Rose, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry! he begged.
Sebastian turned Rosalie around to face him, his eyes filled with panic.
I know I was wrong. I really was too anxious back then. Since you’ve seen the video, then you must have also seen what happened after. Theodore took the gun and beat me up. I didn’t go back to seek revenge. If I really wanted to kill him, I could’ve returned with my bodyguards, but I didn’t! Rose, at that time, all I wanted was to find you. Killing Theodore was never my intention-I just wanted to scare him. I never intended to take his life! Only you know whether you were trying to scare him or kill him, Rosalie said sadly. Even if you’re telling me now that you were just scaring him, I can’t believe you anymore. Sebastian, you’ve given me wonderful memories. I respected you. I thought you were a good person, which was why I chose to trust you. But you’ve betrayed that trust. I’ll say it again—I want a divorce. I can’t be with you anymore.
Just thinking about it suffocated her. Maintaining a marriage with him would be unbearable, let alone sharing a bed. She couldn’t accept it before, and she would never accept it in the future.
What kind of person was Sebastian, truly?
As she thought back to everything that had happened, she realized she no longer recognized him. Had he changed-or had he always been this way, and she just hadn’t seen it?
Rose, I’m really sorry. Please give
me one more chance. I swear, I
didn’t want to kill Theodore. I just wanted to scare him. I was only trying to find you! Sebastian’s eyes reddened, and hot tears streamed down his face. Rose, I’m begging you. Please give me another chance. Please.
Sebastian held her tightly, but Rosalie broke free from his embrace with all her strength.
We need to separate. Both you and I need time to cool down. Regardless of everything, I thank you for taking care of Steve.
Rosalie headed to the nursery to take Steve. She couldn’t bring
herself to say anything more to
Sebastian All she wanted was to et
leave For the first time, her heart burned with an unprecedented urgency to get away.
Theodore had been her childhood sweetheart, yet he had hurt her deeply. First Cynthia, then Aurora-his body and soul were no longer clean.
Sebastian, on the other hand, had been kind to her, a beacon of light in her dark life. But his lies had shattered her perception of him, leaving her afraid.
Theodore had made her feel unsafe, but Sebastian made her feel fear. She didn’t even dare to leave Steve in his care anymore.
On the plane, she had still been pondering how to talk to Sebastian and resolve the matter. The moment the plane landed, she made up her mind. She could no longer drag things out with him.
