What exactly were the four of them up to? Theodore's face turned cold, and he remained silent.
Upon noticing his silence, Lily put the menus aside and said, "Alright, your orders will be coming right up." After Lily left, the air in the room turned strange.
The four of them ended up staring at each other. The air in the room was stiff and awkward, and was in dire need of something to break the silence.
Cynthia said, "Oh yes, Rosalie. Do you know that I'm getting discharged today?" Rosalie gave her a small smile, and said perfunctorily, "Is that so? Congratulations. You look like you're all recovered." "Yeah, it's all thanks to Theo, who spared no effort to saveand did so much for me. Of course I have to do all I can to survive this. Oh, yes, there's one more thing. I'm getting married to Theo the day after tomorrow." Cynthia's eyes were glinting with excitement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRosalie was stunned upon hearing the news. She heard many times about Theodore wanting to marry Cynthia, and even heard about the promise he made to Cynthia.
Yet, at this moment, hearing about them getting married the day after tomorrow in such a peaceful and harmonious setting, it suddenly becso real to her in a way that she had never felt before.
She felt like a character in the story of the boy who cried wolf-except this time, the wolf was really here. She believed the wolf was here.
"Congratulations," Sebastian said with a smile. "Looks like I have to prepare a gift for you two." Sebastian was quite happy to hear that they were getting married.
"No need for that. Would you two be free to attend our wedding?" Cynthia said.
"We'll have to pass," Rosalie said. "Seb and I have something on, and won't be free the day after tomorrow. I'll send someone over with a gift." "I see," Cynthia said with disappointment. "What a pity." Perhaps it was a good thing Rosalie didn't attend the wedding, lest Theodore regret his decision on the day of the wedding.
They went on chatting idly. Theodore's gaze would occasionally land on Rosalie and Sebastian, and then turn cold.
"Mr. Carter, I heard you lost your memories and forgot everything. It seems to me, however, that you haven't forgotten about Rose," Theodore said.
Sebastian looked at Rosalie with a gentle smile. "Even if I forgot everyone in this world, I wouldn't forget Rose." "Oh, I see," Theodore said in a tone laced with doubts. "That's nice, forgetting everything except for a single person. I wonder if it's a coincidence, a miracle, or that ne memory has a will of its own that can be controlled." Theodore was insinuating something, as if hinting that Sebastian had done it on purpose.
Sebastian may have lost his memories, but he could catch Theodore's hint that he was lying.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe grabbed Rosalie's hand and
placed it on the table, saying solemnly and emphatically, "How could I so easily forget someonen carved in the carelor my being? Even if forgot everything, I wouldn't forget her. I'm not like someone else, pandering over another woman while married and embarrassing the entire male population." The tension in the room was growing once again, and it made Rosalie feel uneasy.
She shot Theodore a pleading look when she saw him about to clap back at Sebastianland gave him a slight shake of her head, signaling him not to say anything further.
Theodore really wanted to punch Sebastian in the face, but he knew he didn't have the right to do so. The faet was, he had lost the right due to his foolishment. The pleading fook in Rosalie's eyes right now, her begging him for the sake of another man and caring about another man so deeply, was a punch to Theodore's gut. However, he couldn't do anything except to hold himself back.
