Chapter 395
Rosalie married Theodore for love and not interest, but they still got divorced.
So, how was one supposed to maintain a marriage? Neither love nor interests worked. It was no wonder that more and more people were reluctant to get married, preferring to live alone for the sake of freedom and ease.
Rosalie took a deep breath, and tried hard to compose herself before asking, “Sebastian is your son. Don’t you care about his happiness at all?” “From what you’re saying, you want him to be happy? Then tell me, what should I do to make him happy?” Geoffrey asked.
“Let him choose for himself,” she said. “He has the right to choose the woman he wants. His marriage should be his decision, regardless of the outcome. It’s his choice, not something imposed on him by others.”
Geoffrey slowly straightened his sleeves. “I see. Seems like you really care about him. It’s a pity…”
He sighed.
“Pity about what?” Rosalie asked.
Before Geoffrey could answer, Sydney returned. “What are you two talking about?”
Geoffrey smiled. “Nothing much. We were just talking about how you’re a great mother-in-law. You treat your daughter-in-law so well even after the divorce. It’s like you’re still family.”
“Chairman Carter, we’ve met and had lunch. Now, Rose and I will be leaving.” Sydney didn’t want to stay there a second longer.
Rosalie stood up as well. She straightened out her clothes before following Sydney.
Geoffrey nodded. “I’ll walk you out.”
“No need. We can manage by ourselves. Please stay, Chairman Carter.” With that, Sydney turned around and glanced at Rosalie. “Let’s go.”
After getting into the car, Sydney asked, “Are you really just friends with his son?”
She sounded rather interrogative. As she always spoke coldly, it felt somewhat aggressive.
“Yes,” Rosalie answered truthfully. “We’re good friends.”
“Just good friends, and nothing else?”
“Mom, Seb and I are really just good friends, nothing more.”
“Never slept together?” Sydney pressed.
Rosalie was stunned. “Mom, why would you think that? Seb and I are innocent. We haven’t done anything! We’re just friends. His father is mistaken.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Then why would his father be mistaken? Isn’t it because you’re too close with Sebastian?”
Rosalie frowned. “Mom, I have a clear conscience. Nothing has happened between Seb and me. We’re just friends.”
As soon as Rosalie finished speaking, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID-it was Sebastian.
Rosalie answered the call. “Hello.”
“Rose, how are you now?”
“I’m fine, why?” Rosalie asked.
“I was worried about you,” Sebastian said. “Earlier on the phone, I think heard my father’s bodyguard. Did
