Chapter 212
“Of course,” Yvonne said, trying to please him as she hooked her arm around his. “My dear brother, you’re no handsome and charming. You know how many women like you, right? You’re not oblivious to that.”
“If it’s not the one I want, what’s the use even if there are ten thousand?” Sebastian sighed desolately. “What I want, I can’t have, So, it’s all meaningless.”
Seeing Sebastian sighing like that, Yvonne comforted him. “You’re feeling down right at the beginning, which isn’t like you at all. Don’t worry. Your little sister will cheer you up!”
Sebastian turned his head away. “Are you saying you really support
me?”
“Of course, you’re my brother. Why wouldn’t I support you?”
“Even if she’s been married before and is carrying another man’s child, you don’t think there’s anything wrong with that?”
Sebastian himself certainly didn’t think there was anything wrong. He didn’t have outdated, closed–off thinking, but he didn’t expect his
family to be as open–minded.
“So what? You like her, and you’re happy. That’s all that matters. Besides, who doesn’t have a past?”
Yvonne was very open–minded and cheerful.
Sebastian felt relieved. He raised his hand, and gently rubbed her head. “Let’s not talk about this to anyone, Rose is grieving right now, and I won’t take advantage of her vulnerability. Don’t say any
nonsense to her either, okay?”
“Got it. It’s lucky she’s grieving now and focused on another man.
She might easily notice your feelings. You better hide
a bit, or you’ll scare her off.”
Sebastian felt a bit uneasy. “Is it really that obvious?”
“Seb, how about this? Next time you face Rose, I’ll secretly take a picture. Then, you can see for yourself the look in your eyes.”
Just talking about it made Yvonne feel goosebumps.
Sebastian frowned, and said in a somewhat resigned manner, “I more careful next time.”
“At times like this, you need your little sister’s help.” Yvonne tug lightly at his sleeve. “Even the best general needs soldiers to help charge into battle. This little sister of yours will take on this import task.”
Sebastian scoffed lightly. “Are you sure?”
“Yeah! Don’t you trust me?”
“Trust you? Yeah, right! Go and sleep. Stay out of my business wi Rose,” Sebastian snapped.
Even if Yvonne accidentally messed things up, she was still his siste He couldn’t bring himself to retaliate against her.
Sebastian pulled away from Yvonne’s arm, and left the dining room After showering in his room, he still couldn’t sleep.
He leaned against the headboard, continuing to browse through his tablet for suitable recipes. He followed recipes step by step when cooking. He had a strong ability to learn, so even if he hadn’t cooked something before, it wouldn’t turn out too bad as long as he followed the steps and the measurements.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He grabbed it without checking the caller ID, and answered, “Hello.”

“Bring Rose out. I’m taking her back,” came the voice on the other end.
Sebastian’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately threw off the covers, and went to the window. Outside, he saw a car parked by the gate, its lights flashing incessantly.
A sense of foreboding washed over him.
“Theodore, what are you up to at this hour?” Sebastian said, his voice cold.
“I want to take my wife home. Are you going to bring her out yourself, or do I have to break down this gate?” Theodore’s voice was ominous.
Sebastian scoffed, “The esteemed CEO of SK Enterprise wants to trespass like a bandit. This is truly an eye–opener.”
