Chapter 365
What was the problem with her being called Lily? Couldn’t she use that name?
Rosalie extended her hand, still smiling kindly. “Hello, I’m Rosalle Young. Nice to meet you.”
Lily blankly extended her hand to shake Rosalie’s. “Hello, Miss Young.”
The two were so polite to each other, even Yvonne couldn’t stand watching anymore. What was with this situation? Her brother was even better at creating awkwardness than she was!
“Great! Everyone knows each other now. Let’s hurry to the private room. I’m starving! Have we ordered yet?” she said.
“We have, but since I didn’t know when you’d arrive, the dishes haven’t been served yet,” Rosalie replied. “Then I’ll go ask the waiter to serve the food.”
Yvonne dashed to the waiter as if she was fleeing. She said a few words to him before hurrying into the private room, avoiding her brother’s gaze the entire time.
The three of them stood there in awkward silence, not knowing what to say.
Rosalie noticed that Lily and Sebastian seemed a bit unfamiliar with each other. Maybe Sebastian was too nervous. On top of that, Lily wasn’t the warmest person; when the two were together, it felt a bit awkward.
Smiling, Rosalie said, “Since everyone is here, let’s go inside. No need to stand around.”
“Oh, okay. Let’s go.” Sebastian walked up to Rosalie, leaving Lily behind.
Rosalie felt something was off. She stopped and turned to Sebastian, who was beside her, and whispered, “You should walk with her.”
Sebastian glanced at Lily, a hint of discomfort in his eyes.
Lily felt uneasy as well. Why did she have to endure this awkwardness seemingly out of nowhere? Rosalie assumed that Sebastian was just nervous. So, she took the initiative to walk beside Lily, not wanting Lily to feel left out.
Sebastian was really clueless. He had no idea how to court a lady at all!
Lily looked at the two people in front of her in confusion. She had a lot of questions, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the private room with them.
The atmosphere was undeniably stifling, at least for Lily. She still didn’t understand the situation.
Why did this feel like a blind date? And why did it seem like this handsome guy liked Rosalie? Actually, -Lily was sure that he liked her–his eyes clearly showed it. However, Rosalie didn’t seem to have any romantic feelings for him.
Although she was gentle with him, there was no romantic affection in her gestures. It seemed she was gentle with everyone. So, what was their relationship?
Lily couldn’t figure it out.
“Miss Yancey, Seb often talks about you and always praises you. I was very curious about you. Now that I’ve met you, I can see why,” Rosalie said, praising Lily enthusiastically.

Since Sebastian wasn’t making an effort, she would help him flatter her.
Lily could only say, “Uh…”
So, how was she supposed to respond? She didn’t know this handsome guy at all.
Yvonne tugged gently on Lily’s sleeve, and said, “Lily, didn’t you tell me before that you’ve also heard my brother talk about Rose? You were curious about her, too. Now that you’ve met her, what do you think?”
“Uh… She’s great, really great…” Lily said.
This response should be fine, right? She didn’t know where this conversation was going.
Rosalie noticed that Lily seemed a bit uneasy. She guessed that Lily was rather shy and reserved.
“Miss Yancey, is there anything you’d like to eat?” Rosalle asked. “We can add it to the order.”
Lily smiled. “I’m okay with anything. I’m not picky, and I like all kinds of food:”
