“Who told you about that?” Xyla Quest asked.
Sharon Lindt answered truthfully. “A friend of mine owns the place Rachel used to work at. He was the one who told me, but I don’t know if Sebastian’s family found out about it.
“I think that might be why his parents disapprove of their relationship,” she added.
Xyla frowned upon realizing that they couldn't keep it a secret after all.
No matter how hard Sebastian Brenand tried to hide it, the secret still ended up surfacing somehow.
“You have no idea how the women in our circle talk behind each others' backs. They talk about Sebastian and his family all the time. I guess his parents probably couldn’t take it any longer," Sharon sighed.
“For me, I’d give in no matter how much I disliked the girl as long as my son wants to be with her and nobody else," she went on.
“Not all hostesses are immoral. Some had no other choice. I heard this was the case for Rachel. I also heard that she lost her virginity to Sebastian, and nobody else slept with her after that.
“I can understand if his parents disagreed with their relationship because of her job, but what they did was a bit much. No matter what, their son genuinely loves Rachel. They should offer their blessings instead of trying to keep them apart.”
Sharon was an open-minded person when it came to relationships. To her, reputation was not as important as her children's happiness.
If she had to lose her child to maintain her reputation, she’d rather ruin her reputation.
Xyla sighed helplessly. “If only Sebastian’s mother could think like you. Things would have turned out much differently.
“However, this is only a hunch. Rachel leaving might not have anything to do with Sebastian’s parents. What if it’s only a coincidence?”
