Chapter 447
Rosalie shook her head.
Sydney scoffed. “In that case, you don’t really think marrying Sebastian was a mistake. If Theo hadn’t looked you up, your relationship with Sebastian would still be fine.”
Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”
“In that case, we’ll have to blame Theo for this. He shouldn’t have come looking for you and said what he said.”
“Mom, things have already come to this point. It’s meaningless trying to blame someone. I just hope that everyone will calm down,” Rosalie said.
“And then? Will you still see Theo after everyone has calmed down?” Sydney asked.
Rosalie shut her eyes, looking pained. “I don’t want to see him.”
“You won’t forgive Theo, will you?”
“Forgiveness is no longer a question between Theo and me. Perhaps we’re both responsible for things turning out this way. Since we need to pay the price for our mistakes, we have to stay as far away as possible from each other to prevent the situation from worsening, especially since we’re divorced.”
“He’s the father of your child. Since he admits that he loves you, he must love your child too. Won’t you change your mind on account of that?” Given what she knew of her son’s character, he must have imploded internally to finally decide on confessing his feelings.
Rosalie rubbed her belly with a sigh, her mind in a mess. “Mom, I’ve married Sebastian. If Theo knows I’m pregnant, he definitely won’t give up. I can’t let him know about it.”
Sydney was flabbergasted. “Why in the world did you come up with such a foul idea, marrying Sebastian?”
“I didn’t have a choice. I did it to help him.”
“I know you did it to help him, but you did it at the expense of yourself!”
“It’s just a fake marriage,” Rosalie said. “It’s not for real. Since I wasn’t planning on marrying anyone else, I thought helping Sebastian this way wasn’t a big deal.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Sydney crossed her arms, finding the entire situation maddening yet hilarious. “You’re so generous. Have you ever thought that while you don’t find it a big deal, Sebastian might not think the same way?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Seb knows this is just a fake marriage. He wouldn’t take it seriously.”
“Did he say that himself? Do you know him so well that you can see through his mind? Have you ever considered that this might be a trap that he worked with his father?”
Rosalie’s heart leapt. She turned around, and exclaimed in shock, “No, they have no reason to do that!”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes,” Rosalie said as she stood up. “If you think they did it deliberately, they must have an objective in doing so. What is their objective? Just so I’ll marry into the Carter family? don’t think I’m that capable a person, worthy of them to scheme for me to get married into the family.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“You don’t think so, but…” Sydney was about to say more, but she swallowed the rest of her sentence.
She eventually sighed. There was no point for her to get angry over something that had happened. Moreover, there were some things that the fewer people knew about, the better.
At the end of the day, she was at fault, too. Had she told Rosalie the truth earlier, Rosalie might hesitate to marry Sebastian.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org – Content owner.
Rosalie could sense that there was something on Sydney’s mind. “Mom, what were you about to say?”
“I was going to scold you,” Sydney said irritably.
Rosalie hung her head guiltily.
“But there’s no point in me scolding you. The past is the past. When are you going to divorce Sebastian?” Sydney asked.
