Chapter 417

“Fine, I promise you. Quick, tell me.”

Rosalie’s curiosity was growing by the minute.

Sebastian pondered for a moment before saying, “Didn’t my father mistake us for a couple previously? If…”

“Seb!” Rosalie suddenly called his name, and cut him off mid-sentence.

She fully understood what Sebastian wanted to say.

“Are you suggesting for us to get married?”

Rosalie’s reaction made Sebastian swallow the rest of his sentence back into his throat.

“You agreed not to get angry. Just pretend you never heard it from me.”

Sebastian looked pitifully at her, like a hungry child asking for milk. At the sight of his innocent eyes, Rosalie’s heart softened.

“Seb, I’m not mad. It’s just a little extreme that you thought of this idea. We’re friends, aren’t we?”

“I know. My initial idea was for us to go through a fake marriage, but I thought you wouldn’t agree to it. I was very hesitant, and didn’t know whether to tell you about it. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have even thought of this idea. Just take it that I never mentioned it.”

Rosalie saw the morose look in Sebastian’s eyes, and knew that he must be feeling very anxious right now.

She raised a hand, and patted his shoulder gently. “Let’s think of another idea.”

The thought of marrying Sebastian itself was flabbergasting. They were friends, and things were purely platonic between them. How would they face each other if they got married just for the sake of dealing with his father?

What’s more, she had just divorced Theodore and was pregnant with his child. It didn’t seem appropriate to be marrying another man so soon, even if it were just a farce.

“There’s no need to think of any

ideas,” Sebastian said with a smile. “Rose, I’ve been living under my father’s control since I was young t no longer bothers me. I’ll just marry a woman I don’t love, start a family with her, and live a joyless life. I’ll slowly become someone like my father, who will in turn control my own children. It’ll pass down through the generations like a curse.”

.OrgHis words made Rosalie’s stomach drop, as if she had just encountered an earthquake.

She couldn’t help but think about the Spencer father and son. Theodore had followed in his father’s footsteps, as though there was a curse hanging above the family.From NôvelDrama.Org.

No, she couldn’t allow such a curse to be upon Sebastian. Since the previous generation had made a mistake, the next generation should be correcting the mistake after witnessing it instead of repeating it.

Why did people always refuse to learn from their lessons? Why were they always becoming who they didn’t like?

“Seb,” Rosalie said silently. “I won’t allow you to become like your father. You clearly know that he’s in the wrong, and that you’re suffering so terribly. You can’t do this to your child next time.”

“Rose, there

are

some things that I don’t have a choice in,” Sebastian

said with a sigh. He stood up and went on, If I don’t get married, my father has no lack of ways to torment me. He won’t take this lying down, and everyone are will be implicated. He might even lock you up.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“No, Seb. I will protect myself.”

“No.” Sebastian shook his head. “Sometimes, it’s not enough even if we try to protect ourselves. I don’t know if I’ve told you this before, but some things that have happened to me were because I didn’t listen to him. Everyone I cared about has disappeared.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
