Chapter 144
Rosalie and Sebastian changed out of the uniform, and headed back on the helicopter.
Rosalie was still in a daze, as if she had her soul sucked out of her. She didnât say where she wanted to go, and only realized that Sebastian was taking her to a villa that she had never seen before when the helicopter finally landed.
âCome on down,â Sebastian said as he carefully helped Rosalie down the helicopter, afraid that she might fall.
Rosalie looked around her. âWhere are we?â
âI saw how miserable you looked. Since you didnât say anything, I decided to bring you to my place. Donât worry, only my servants and I are around. Thereâs no one else.â
âSebastian, Iâm really sorry for causing you so much trouble.â
Rosalie felt soulless throughout the entire journey, her mind a complete blank.
âItâs not trouble at all. Letâs head in and get some rest first. Once we feel up to it, Iâll send you home.â
Rosalie went into a daze again as her eyes went out of focus. She didnât even respond to him. Sebastian didnât say anything further, and instead led her into the villa.
After settling down in the hall, he poured her a glass of water and sat down by her side.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something. Seeing Rosalie still in a daze, he leaned back on the couch and stared unblinkingly at the ceiling.
He then stood up and left, not wanting to bother her.

After half an hour, he returned to the hall and saw Rosalie still seated. in the exact same spot she left her. Instead of the daze she was in earlier, she was sobbing silently, trying not to make a sound.
It seemed Theodore really hurt her badly.
He didnât want to bother her, but at the same time, he was worried about her condition. He knew she had previously been hospitalized,
after all.
Finally, he took a few steps forward and said, âRosalie, I may not fully know how hurt you are, but I can understand how you feel right now. I wonât say that a man like him isnât worth your tears, because I know youâre sad and you canât control your emotions. If you want to cry, just go ahead and cry out loud. You can even smash anything you find in this villa if you wish, if it can help you vent.â
Rosalie bit her lip, desperately trying to hold her tears back. She remained silent, and simply buried her head into the couch.
Seeing her suppressing herself so much, worry grew in Sebastianâs heart. He walked over, sat by her side, grabbing her arm, and called
her name.
âRosalie.â
âLet me go,â Rosalie said, startled by his sudden movement.
Rosalie tried to shake his hands away, but Sebastian continued gripping her arms tight and pulled her up from the couch. He said solemnly, âIâm not letting you go.â
His domineering expression formed such a stark contrast with his usual genteel demeanor that it startled Rosalie. She started
struggling against his hold with all her might, but she couldnât resist him when he pulled her into his arms.

When her face hit his chest, her tears finally broke free like a flood against a dam.
She started sobbing uncontrollably. She clutched at his clean white shirt, which slowly became drenched in her tears and snot.
Rosalie cried in his arms, her entire body shaking and convulsing with sobs. When she was finally spent and her voice had turned hoarse, the tears stopped flowing and she quietened down in his embrace.
Her petite face was all red and swollen, and so were her eyes. After releasing all the pressure building inside her, she felt just like a deflated balloon..
She wiped the tears from her face, and hurriedly sat up from Sebastianâs embrace.
âIâm sorry for being such an embarrassment.â
âItâs all right. Do you feel better?â
He was back to his usual genteel and mildâmannered demeanor.
Rosalie recalled the hint of dominance he exuded before she burst out crying. She thought that he must have been deliberately trying to trigger an outburst in her, allowing her to get it out of her system.
âI feel much better. Sorry for soiling your shirt.â
