Sydney hurried over to Rosalie’s house.
Rosalie was waiting for her at the door, and felt a little nervous seeing her ex-mother-in-law charging toward her. Mom, what’s the matter?
Sydney brushed past Rosalie, and said coldly, Where’s your husband?
Rosalie was aware that Sydney knew, and that the latter wasn’t here to exchange pleasantries.
She hurried over. Did something happen?
Sydney stopped in her tracks, and turned around. Nothing. I’m just here to see you. Why are you so nervous?
I’m just worried. You don’t look too good.
“I’m not feeling very well. Perhaps I’m in a bad mood because something cropped up at work. Sorry about that, Sydney said with a smile. “Let’s head in.
The moment Sydney walked in, she heard a voice. Rose, I’ve read through the document.
Sebastian came downstairs, and saw Sydney. He stood stunned for a moment before greeting her. Hello, Mrs. Harper.
He had heard about Sydney from Rosalie, but didn’t expect her to come so quickly.
Sydney surveyed Sebastian from head to toe. I heard about what happened to you. Seems like you’re recovering well.
She stepped forward, and went on, This is actually our first time officially meeting. I’m not just Rose’s ex-mother-in-law, but I’ve also known your father for a long time. We’re considered old friends.
Sebastian said with a smile, “I see. My dad must have mentioned you in the past, but I’ve lost my memories and don’t remember many things. I’m still trying hard to remember them.
Sydney nodded. Yes, you should try to regain your memories. Otherwise, you might think that some things belong to you when they don’t. That wouldn’t be good, would it?
Hearing the strange tone in Sydney’s voice, Rosalie felt worried. Mom, how have you been recently? We haven’t met for a while. Is everything going fine?
Everything’s fine, Sydney said. But ever since you remarried, you hardly contact us. Others might even think that you’ve cut ties with the Spencer family.
How could that be? I’ve been quite busy recently. I’m sorry, I’ll come visit you more often in the future.
Sydney smiled. “Don’t panic. I don’t mean to blame you. I know that you have your own life right now. It’s fine as long as you’re happy.
She went on to say, I’m a little hungry. Is lunch ready?
It is. Let’s go have lunch, Rosalie said.
She brought Sydney to the dining room, and the three of them chatted over lunch.
Sydney glanced at Rosalie’s growing tummy. Rose, how is the baby?
Rosalie instinctively looked at Sebastian.
Why are you looking at him? Sydney asked. The child isn’t his. Does your husband not know that you’re pregnant? Did I accidentally expose your secret?
Mrs. Harper, I know about Rose being pregnant. I asked her who the baby belongs to, but whoever it is, I will treat the baby as my own, Sebastian said.
That’s good, Sydney said. Back
when you two got married, your father knew Rose was pregnant with her ex-husband’s baby. I do
understand your father a little?
amazing he allowed you two to get married. He always prioritizes his self-interest. Even in his own
children’s marriage, he must be able to gain something from it.
Silence ensued.
Sydney turned to look at Rosalie. What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong? almost forgot, he’s your father-in-law now. I can’t talk about him. I apologize.
