Chapter 367
Sebastian’s expression gradually became stiff, and despair flashed in his eyes for a brief moment.
After a long time, he pursed his lips and said, “Yes, we’re just friends.”
Sensing Sebastian’s disappointment, Rosalle realized that she might have been too harsh.
“Seb, I didn’t mean to blame you. I know you’re nervous seeing the girl you like right in front of you, and you’re avoiding her because you’re afraid she won’t like you. But if you keep this up, you’ll never win a girl’s heart. If you’re afraid, you’ll never dare to take the initiative.”
Sebastian smiled bitterly. “Do you really want me to be with her that much?”
“Isn’t that what you want?” Rosalie asked him back. When you talked about her before, your eyes were filled with love. Seb, that’s your wish. I just want to help you take the step you’re too scared to take. Once your problems are resolved, I’m going to leave.”
Rosalie was referring not only to Sebastian’s romantic affairs, but also the matter between him and his father. Once Geoffrey met Sydney, only then would Sebastian’s issues be truly resolved, and she could leave.
Still, she couldn’t tell Sebastian this.
“You’re going to leave?” Sebastian frowned. “Where will you go?”
“My belly is getting bigger. I can’t stay here too long, or I’ll be discovered. I need to go to a place where no one knows me to have the baby.”
Sebastian suddenly laughed.
Rosalie was puzzled. “What’s so funny?”
”
“Rose, you say I’m scared and not taking the initiative, but aren’t you the same? You’re pregnant with his child, but you don’t dare to tell him. You endure all the suffering silently, planning to give birth to your baby somewhere else just to fulfill his wishes. Why don’t you dare to tell Theodore?”
“I…” Rosalie’s heart thumped. “He wouldn’t want this child. So what’s the point of telling him?”
“This is your child. You have the right to keep it. His opinion doesn’t matter. Ultimately, you’re afraid.” Rosalie took a step back. She stared at Sebastian in disbelief, a wave of intense panic rising in her heart.
Clutching her dress, she lowered her head and muttered, “I’m not afraid. I just don’t see why I need to tell him.”
“Is there really no need?” Sebastian asked. “As the father of the child, doesn’t he have the right to know? You don’t even dare to tell your grandmother. Can you honestly say you’re not afraid?”
“We’re talking about you now,” Rosalie said, somewhat frustrated. “I’ll handle my own problems. You can’t use my problems as an excuse to avoid yours. We’re not the same.”
“So, you admit you’re avoiding your problems.” Sebastian took a step forward. “Since we’re both avoiding our issues, what’s the point of blaming each other? Let’s just cancel today’s dinner. I’ll have Yvonne take Lily home, while I’ll take you home. Let’s just pretend nothing happened.”
“That won’t do,” Rosalle objected. “She’s already here, and we’ve just sat down. If you say it’s over now, how do you think she’ll feel? If you do this, she’ll definitely misunderstand. If…”
“Then let her misunderstand,” Sebastian said indifferently.

Rosalie was stunned. She even wondered if Sebastian really liked Lily. Otherwise, how could he be so
indifferent?
When he mentioned Lily before, his eyes were full of love and anticipation. He had also sought advice from her on how to pursue Lily.
Today, she was helping him, but he was eager to escape.
