Chapter 510: Chapter 510 A Voice She Never Expected to Hear

“I’ll give you time to think it over. If you agree, I’ll have the agreement drawn up immediately to protect your interests. I won’t let you suffer the slightest injustice in this marriage.”

Sebastian’s expression remained composed.

“I’m not good at making grand romantic speeches. I’d rather let my actions speak for themselves. Of course, I’ll do everything I can to make sure you’re happy with our marriage. I won’t neglect the romantic gestures or my responsibilities as your husband.”

He’d said everything he needed to say.

Sometimes, it was better to leave the other person with room to think rather than push for an immediate answer.

Diana was genuinely taken aback.

Everything he’d said went against what she’d believed about relationships for most of her life. And yet, her own beliefs had already led her to a devastating disappointment.

Perhaps it was time to reconsider a few things.

Sebastian didn’t press her for an answer. He simply gave her the space she needed.

Diana remained seated for a long time after their conversation ended.

Eventually, she decided she needed to talk to Rose.

She even went so far as to ask Sebastian for three days off.

Rose was currently in Washington, D.C., where she and Ryan were busy making wedding arrangements. They planned to stay there for a while, so Diana decided to fly over and see her.

When Diana arrived, Rose was still lying in bed at the hotel.

But the moment Diana caught sight of her slightly rounded belly, she stopped in her tracks.

“Wait a second! Why is your baby bump already showing?”

Rose rested a hand on her stomach, looking a little embarrassed.

“...I’m having twins.”

Diana dropped her bag onto the floor.

“Twins? Whoa! Ryan really is something else!”

Rose stared at her as though she’d lost her mind.

“Why can’t it be because I’m something else?”

Diana burst out laughing.

“Fine, fine. You’re both amazing.” She leaned closer, grinning. “So, do you need to move the wedding up? If your belly gets much bigger, finding a wedding dress that fits will be a nightmare. And getting through the whole ceremony might be exhausting.”

“He thought of that already, so we’re moving it up.”

Rose sank back against the pillows with a helpless sigh. She still couldn’t quite understand how everything had happened so quickly.

Ryan seemed terrified she might change her mind.

He’d caught her completely off guard, and she’d even begun to suspect that the pregnancy hadn’t been entirely accidental.

She clearly remembered reminding him to use protection.

Then again, she had to admit she’d made things confusing herself. She’d told him they could talk about getting back together later, and perhaps he’d taken that as encouragement to move things along.

Either way, the result was the same.

“When are you moving it to?” Diana asked.

“This month.”

Rose tapped her forehead.

She was still trying to wrap her head around everything. It all felt like a dream.

Diana glanced at the calendar.

“There’s barely half a month left! Ryan really is in a hurry. He’s acting like he’s afraid you’ll disappear if he takes his eyes off you. He’s still as calculating as ever.”

Rose gave her a look.

“Aren’t you supposed to be busy with work? What made you suddenly decide to visit?”

Diana’s smile faded a little.

Without another word, she repeated Sebastian’s marriage proposal almost word for word.

When she finished, Rose fell silent for a moment.

“What a generous man,” she finally remarked.

She’d always known Diana had plenty of admirers. It was only a matter of time before someone took a serious interest in her.

But Sebastian was something else.

He was willing to offer Diana half his fortune even though they’d barely known each other for two months and had yet to develop any deep romantic feelings.

Rose couldn’t help wondering how far he might go if he genuinely fell in love with Diana.

Knowing him, perhaps he’d spoil her rotten.

“More importantly, he’s willing to put his promise of loyalty into a written agreement,” Rose continued thoughtfully. “That’s actually quite rare.”

She paused.

“I’ll ask Ryan to look into Sebastian’s background. Just to make sure there’s nothing suspicious we should know about.”

Diana let herself collapse onto the sofa.

“What do you think I should do?”

Rose studied her face. “What do you think?”

“I haven’t made up my mind.” Diana stared at the ceiling. “I gave up on romantic relationships a long time ago. And it hasn’t even been a year since Liam and I broke up. Marriage feels like a cage to me now.”

Rose could tell that Diana was still carrying a great deal of emotional baggage.

She reached over and gently patted her shoulder.

“Didi, a lifetime is a long time. You can’t measure every relationship by how long it lasts or how deeply you feel at the beginning. You were with Liam for years, and look how quickly everything fell apart in the end.”

She squeezed Diana’s shoulder.

“Everyone is different. Every relationship is different, too. I hope you’ll still give yourself permission to move forward. Don’t let one terrible experience stop you from living the life you want.”

Unless Diana had already decided to remain single for the rest of her life, she would eventually have to take a chance on something new.

Life was full of uncertainty. Sometimes, people had to try before they could know whether something was right for them.

“I know,” Diana murmured, closing her eyes.

The truth was, she wasn’t mentally prepared to spend the rest of her life alone.

She’d grown up feeling deprived of love, and loneliness had followed her for as long as she could remember.

Now, faced with the long years ahead of her, she felt both afraid and lost. She wanted to be independent, to live freely without anyone controlling her choices, but she also dreaded the thought of being alone forever.

And Sebastian’s words had given her something new to consider.

Maybe love wasn’t everything.
