"Divorce?" "Yes. Isn't it a fake marriage? In that case, there has to be a limit. You won't really spend the rest of your days with him, will you?" Sydney said.
"We'll let nature take its course, I suppose. When he meets a lady he fancies, he'll naturally divorce me." Sydney laughed sardonically.
"You're even more generous and open-minded than I thought! Your divorce with Theo must have caused you to lose all expectations and reverence towards marriage in general. It's becnothing but a tool that isn't even all that important, is that it?" "Yes," Rosalie admitted frankly. "My marriage to Theo broughtnothing but pain and sorrow. Marriage means nothing toright now, except maybe a tool that I might lend a friend if he needs it." Sydney had nothing to say in response to Rosalie's words.
Rosalie didn't even care about her own marriage, which was why she could easily make use of it to help a friend. Theodore had truly hurt her deeply, to the point she gave up all hope in marriage. "What about your baby? If the Carters found out that you're pregnant, are you going to make my grandson a member of their family?" Sydney asked.

Of course, the Carters may find out about it, and that might be my chance to divorce Sebastian. After all these, they probably won't make Sebastian marry another woman. I'm just temporarily helping him overcthis hurdle. We'll talk about things in the future as they come." Sydney's mind was in a daze, and she was rendered speechless.
Eventually, she said helplessly, "You might not find it a big deal to use your marriage to help a friend, but you forgot one thing." "What is it?" Rosalie asked.
Sydney said solemnly, "You forgot about what Sebastian truly feels. You might think of it as a fake marriage, but he might not think the sway. If he took it seriously and refuse to get a divorce, what are you going to do?" "He won't. Seb knows this is a fake marriage. We've made things clear between us. He's a very nice man, and we're friends." Rosalie clearly trusted him a lot.
"Is that so? Could a child who grew up under Geoffrey Carter really be an angel?" Sydney said. She refused to believe that a demon could raise an angel.
A wolf in sheep's clothing was even scarier than a real, undisguised wolf. For all Rosalie knew, Sebastian might be even more scheming than his father.
"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Rosalie asked, uneasy.
"I've made myself very clear," Sydney said coldly. "It's obvious Geoffrey Carter is no good, but a truly devious person may not be easy to discern. Is Sebastian really that good a person? don't believe someone so perfect exists. Sometimes, the more perfect something seems, the more dangerous it is. It's like a beautifully wrapped Christmas present that turns out to be a bomb when you unwrap it. The most frightening people are those disguised in the most attractive and bewitching appearances." "You don't know Seb, and you've never interacted with him before. He isn't like that. He treatsvery well. He was always with me, helpingout when I was at my most miserable state. I trust that he is sincere with me." "So what if he is?" Sydney said. "Just because he's sincere with you, doesn't make him a good person. Have you seen him when he's alone?" "I..." Rosalie fell silent.
She recalled how Sebastian flared up at his subordinates, which was a frightening scene she had never witnessed before.
"I advise you to be careful. Don't give him your all. A person like him is a master at disguise," Sydney reminded Rosalie. Suddenly, Rosalie chuckled.
"Seb treatsvery well, and he's sincere with me. If that's a disguise, what about Theo? He hurtand divorcedfor Cynthia. He might not be fake, but does that make him a good person? If Seb is really two-faced like you think he is even if he really is a bad person, does that mean I can't be sincere with him or help him out if he treatswell and is sincere with me? Is that it?" Sydney looked back at Rosalie, suddenly at a loss for what to say.

"Mom," Rosalie went on. "I'm just a woman and a friend not the police or e ajudge from my own
perspective, whoever treatswell, I'll treat them well. This is a very.
I straightforward question. I the really is a bad guy who did bad things, the police are around to deal with him. I just want to be sincere toward whoever treatswell." Sydney frowned. "Have you fallen in love with Sebastian?" Rosalie's heart sank.
"No," she said.
"Really?" Sydney looked hard at her, as if trying to uncover clues from her eyes.
Rosalie evaded her gaze. "Really, I haven't. I don't want to love anyone right now."
Theodore alone had completely broken her heart. Her broken heart had no papacity to care for another En man.
