Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 617

Lily immediately straightened her back upon seeing him. “Mr. Carter, what brings you here?”

Sebastian shut the door, and walked toward her. “Are you going to bed soon?”

Lily shook her head. “Not yet. Is anything the matter?”

“I came to see you. I saw Rose leaving your room. Did she say anything to you?”

“Nothing much. She just prepared some things for me.” Lily said. She thought that telling Sebastian about her chat with Rosalie just now would surely sadden him.

However, Sebastian seemed to see through Lily’s thoughts.

“I think I have a clue,” Sebastian said. “Although I don’t remember everything, I can sense that something is amiss in my marriage with Rose. Otherwise, why would she try matchmaking us? She probably wants to divorce me.”

Lily was at a loss for words.

Sebastian lowered his head. “I must have done something bad, that’s why…”

“No, Mr. Carter,” Lily assured him. “You’re great, you really are, but you didn’t tell Rose how you feel about her. What’s more, you claimed to like another lady. That’s why things are the way they are now.”

“You mean I should confess my feelings to Rose?”

Lily nodded. “Yes, you should have done so a long time ago. You shouldn’t have told her that you liked another woman. Saying that would only push her further away from you. In her perspective, since you already have a woman you fancy, how could she bring herself to love you?”

“I don’t want to pressure her in any way. I can sense that Rose is already very tired from taking care of me during this period. What’s more, she was grievously hurt by her ex-husband. The only thing I can do is to not put pressure on her. She fears having someone love her the most, because she was so deeply hurt by love,” Sebastian said.

Lily sighed. Seeing Sebastian behaving so cautiously made her heart ache. He loved Rosalie so much, humbling himself and always putting her first in all things.

It was hard to imagine a man like him loving a woman so deeply. It was so romantic, but also tragic at the same time.

“Mr. Carter, Rose thinks that we get along pretty well and wants to pair us together. I know you’re pretending to get along well with me to make her happy, so I think…”

“Ms. Yancey,” Sebastian cut her off mid-sentence. “I do think that we get along well, not merely just to make Rose happy. You really are the only one I can be honest about my feelings with. Thank you for hearing me out. I’m very happy to get to know you.”

The serious look on Sebastian’s face stunned Lily. She didn’t expect him to say something like this, and felt very honored. “Thank you.”

“Silly girl, thank me for what?” Sebastian smiled warmly.

His intimate address of her made Lily’s heart race. The manner of address felt so different coming from him.
