Sebastian texted, [I hope you'll like her.] Rosalie texted, [Whether I like her or not isn't important. What's important is that you do.] [Yes, I do. She might not be good enough in other people's eyes, but in my opinion, she's different and better than anyone else,] he replied. Rosalie felt warmth seep into her heart.
Sebastian was such a great man! Any woman who married him would be blessed. She even started to feel envious of the woman he liked. However, it stopped at just simply envy. She genuinely felt happy for Sebastian as well as the lady he fancied.
As fatigue finally set in, Rosalie yawned. After chatting with Sebastian, she felt a lot more relaxed.
[Seb, turn in early so you'll be at your best tomorrow.] [Yes, you too. You and your baby need a good rest. Helpsay hello to your baby.] [Sure. Goodnight.] [Goodnight.] Rosalie gently caressed her belly. "Baby, do you feel that? Uncle Sebastian cares about you very much." She was about to put her phone down when she received another text.

Right now, she should be keeping her distance. She really didn't want to get hurt once more. They couldn't be friends or siblings after the divorce. All the more they couldn't be chatting so casually like this, as it nothing had happened.
Rosalie couldn't bring herself to do that.
She had no idea why Theodore could take this all for granted. Did he forget what happened before? Well, he might have forgotten about it, but she didn't.
She would forever remember how Theodore lied to her and mistreated her, all because of Cynthia. He even hurt her with cruel, vicious words.
Even though it was all in the past, the wounds on her heart were still fresh.
Rosalie couldn't forget them.

The mere thought of it made her heart pulsate with pain. The pain coursed through her veins and refused to let her go, almost suffocating her.

The next morning, Rosalie woke up early. After breakfast, she called Sydney again.
This time, Sydney didn't answer the call.
Rosalie felt rather uneasy. Sydney was living alone right now. Did something happen? She sensed that e something was off with her mother-in-law during the call yesterday. After pondering for a moment, she decided to text Wesley.
[Dad, do you know where Mom is right now? Is she alright?] Rosalie had just sent out the text when Wesley called. She immediately answered it.
"Hello, Dad."
