Chapter 428
After Rosalie entered the restroom, she started vomiting.
Sebastian waited anxiously outside.
After a while, a pale Rosalie reappeared.
“Rose, it’s all my fault. If you really don’t want to get married, it’s okay. I’ll just tell my father the truth. You don’t have to do this for me…” he began.
“I’m fine,” Rosalie reassured him. “It’s just normal morning sickness. It’s nothing serious, and it has nothing to do with you.”
To ease his worry, she gave him a gentle smile. “I’m fine now. Let’s go back. We shouldn’t keep them waiting.”
They made their way back to the living room after navigating several corridors.
Rosalie had specifically asked Sebastian to take her to a more distant restroom, as she was worried someone might overhear her vomiting.
If the Carters found out she was marrying Sebastian while pregnant with her ex-husband’s child, it would be a difficult situation to handle. Even though their marriage was fake, it needed to appear real.
Back in the living room, because Sebastian didn’t want Rosalie to be further stressed out, he said, “Mom, Dad, I’ll take Rosalie home now. You two should rest.”
Geoffrey stood up. “It’s late, so just stay here tonight. I’ll tell the driver to send you to get the marriage certificate tomorrow morning.”
“Mr. Carter, my documents are at home. I need to go back and get it for tomorrow,” Rosalie said.
Geoffrey considered this, and said, “That’s fine. Tomorrow, I’ll send an assistant to the city hall to wait for you. He will accompany you the whole time. After you get the certificate, you can come back. We can discuss the remaining matters.”
Rosalie nodded. “Okay.”
After the arrangements were made, everyone left.
Rosalie and Sebastian got into a car driven by Yvonne, since Sebastian had been drinking.

Learning that the plan had succeeded and their father believed them, she was over the moon.

Rosalie, exhausted, lay on her bed.
She stared at the ceiling, and let out a long sigh. The thought of marrying Sebastian the next day made her heart squeeze. But it was her

She picked up her phone to check the time, and was about to take a shower when she noticed a message from Yerick.
Last time, when she followed him on
Instagram to pay money back to him, Yerick had only accepted her request the next day with a message that said, [I’m sorry, I’ve been busy and couldn’t reply. Once I’m done, I’ll chat with you.] Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Rosalie had Venmo-ed him some money and replied “Okay”. They hadn’t chatted since.
Today, Rosalie found out that Yerick hadn’t claimed the money, and the money had been automatically refunded.
Tonight, Yerick sent her a message. [Are you awake?]
[Yes. Why haven’t you claimed the money?]
[I forgot because I was too busy. It’s fine. You don’t need to pay me back. Consider it my treat.]
[Then I’ll treat you to a meal next time.]
[Okay, but it’s late, so you should rest now. Staying up late can cause dark circles under your eyes.]
[I was just about to take a shower.]
[Alright. Go take a shower and rest. Goodnight.]
[Goodnight.]
Yerick sent a heart emoji. After a brief exchange, Rosalie got out of bed.
