Chapter 170 : I love her. I’m hopelessly, undeniably in love with Rosie Sterling.

Sebastian still felt strangely uncomfortable at the thought of eating Shania's cooking.This feels like I’m cheating on my wife.He froze at the thought.Wait... wife?His brows drew together.W-W-Why the hell did I just think of Rosie as my wife?The answer was painfully obvious.He loved her. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He wanted her beside him for as long as he lived.But wife?Sebastian grimaced.That’s a bit much, isn’t it?He had never liked the idea of being tied down by anyone. Marriage, commitment, all of it had always sounded like a trap.And yet, when it came to Rosie, his mind seemed determined to contradict everything he had ever believed.While Sebastian wrestled with his own ridiculous thoughts, Shania finished preparing dinner.She placed a plate of spaghetti and meatballs in front of Sebastian before sitting opposite him with her own portion.She picked up her fork and began eating, only to notice that Sebastian was still staring blankly at the f

Chapter 171 : Because the man you’ve ruined... is the man I love.

Sebastian already carried far too many doubts in his heart.There were questions he couldn't answer, suspicions he couldn't shake, and memories he no longer knew how to interpret.Yet, amidst all that uncertainty, there was one truth he had always clung to.He was undoubtedly, hopelessly in love with Rosie Sterling.But... what if this thing called love isn't what I think it is?Sebastian's brow furrowed as he tried to make sense of Shania's words.Am I in love with Rosie because I'm actually in love with her... or because I'm obsessed with the idea of loving her?The more he tried to process Shania's explanation, the more tangled his thoughts became.He knew very little about psychology. He wasn't equipped to dissect his own mind, let alone distinguish genuine love from emotional dependence, obsession or childhood attachment.And instead of giving him clarity, Shania's words had only made him question everything.Had all those years of hard work been for nothing?Had every sacrifice

Chapter 172 : Sit. Come and keep me company tonight.

Sebastian lifted one hand and patted the empty space beside him on the sofa."Sit."Amara hesitated."Come and keep me company tonight."Amara's eyes widened at the invitation from Mr Edward Sterling.She knew it was hardly unusual. In this bar, waitresses were often encouraged to keep VIP guests company. It was part of the service, and the women were paid handsomely for it.Still, she had never imagined that the young, handsome Sebastian Edward Sterling would ask for her.At least by the standards of the other waitresses, Amara was one of the oldest women working there. Most VIPs preferred younger women, which meant invitations like this were exceedingly rare for her."S-Sir, would you like me to call one of the younger waitresses?""No." Sebastian's answer was curt. "Just sit here and keep me company. Don't worry. I'll pay you for your time."Amara swallowed nervously.The sharp, hawk-like gaze Sebastian fixed upon her did little to settle her nerves. If anything, it made her feel e

Chapter 173 : Aww, don’t worry about it, gurl. Go get your man!

"Homegurlll, what’s up? Why are you calling me this late?" Desiree asked. "I’m snacking while watching a Netflix documentary about a serial killer. Gurl, they’re terrifying, but... so fascinating!""Yeah, Desiree, we can talk about that later. I really need your help right now!" Rosie said.Desiree immediately picked up on the urgency in her voice. Her playful expression vanished, replaced by concern."What is it? Do you need me to do something?""I need you to tell me about a bar Sebastian goes to. One he visits often—especially if he’s a VIP member there."Desiree blinked.The panic in Rosie’s voice was unmistakable. She sounded as though she was on the verge of losing Sebastian for good."Gurl, relax—""No, Desiree, I can’t relax!" Rosie interrupted. "I need to pick him up. He’s drunk, and he’s with a woman! I don’t want him to make a mistake that could ruin his future!"Desiree fell silent for a moment.Then a thought occurred to her.Are you worried he’s going to accidentally get

Chapter 174 : But the moment his lover spoke, he answered.

The bar owner stood outside the door and glanced back at Rosie."Miss, this is where Mr Edward Sterling is spending his time at the moment. Before I open this door, I need you to promise me you won’t make a scene."Rosie’s breath caught.Gradually, her breathing grew heavier, her chest tightening beneath the weight of an old, unwelcome memory.Because this moment...This moment feels like I've gone back in time.Back to when she had been pregnant with Izzie.Back to the night Charles had told her to come to a bar just like this one.Back to the dark corridor and the door at its very end.And back to the moment she'd opened it and found Charles with five women.—"Come and join them, you ugly whale. You’re a woman, you’re a whore, just like the rest of them—including that daughter of yours."—The memory had never truly left her.It returned in her nightmares, again and again, dragging her back to that horrible night.She remembered being hysterical.She remembered crying until her thr

Chapter 175 : The matter concerning Mr Edward Sterling’s girlfriend never leaves this place.

"Desiree, why are you here?" Rosie asked, genuinely surprised."'Cause I thought you’d need my help," Desiree replied. She cast a teasing glance at her boss, whose ear was currently being tugged by Rosie. "Though, judging by the looks of things, I don’t think you need my help at all.""Well, Sebastian is drunk right now," Rosie said. "But he's surprisingly obedient, so I’ve had no trouble with him. Oh, and about the payment—""No need to bother, gurl. It’s my duty to pay." Desiree waved her off. "Mr Edward Sterling comes here quite often, and I’m usually the one who settles his expenses. He tends to leave absolutely hammered.""Ah, I see..." Rosie sighed with relief.She hadn’t exactly come prepared with money. If she had been forced to pay, she might have had to use the black card Sebastian had given her—and then somehow justify the expense by docking his salary."I see. Then please take care of it, Desiree. I need to get this extremely drunk man home," Rosie said, glancing at Sebast

Chapter 176 : He simply wanted the company of someone who looked like the woman he loved. Someone who reminded him of her enough to make him feel a little less alone.

The woman waved something in her hand, but Rosie couldn't quite make out what it was.Amara hurried towards her, slightly breathless from the rush, before opening her palm. "Miss, this is Mr Edward Sterling’s phone. The screen cracked when he threw it after having an argument on the phone. I assume that was with you?"Rosie’s cheeks warmed with embarrassment. So the entire argument between her and Sebastian had been overheard by someone else.She accepted the damaged phone and offered the woman a polite smile."Thank you for looking after him. And I’m sorry on his behalf if he... did anything inappropriate towards you.""Oh, no! Not at all!" Amara shook her head vigorously. "Mr Edward Sterling didn’t do anything. I swear!""You don’t have to protect him," Rosie said gently. "Did he intimidate you?"She knew Sebastian well enough to realise that he had a talent for intimidating people, whether he intended to or not."Miss, Mr Edward Sterling did absolutely nothing wrong to me," Amara a

Chapter 177 : Don’t make her cry. Sometimes it hurt even more than his own wounds.

Sebastian’s mind grew hazier with every passing minute. He knew he was drunk, but he hadn't realised the effects of the sixth shot of Seven-Star Fantasy would creep up on him so gradually, even with the tolerance he'd developed to the drink.His vision had almost completely disappeared, and his body felt heavier by the second.Rosie was still leading him by the hand when she noticed his steps becoming increasingly unsteady."Hang in there, big boy," she said, quickly slipping an arm around him to steady his weight, much as Desiree had done earlier. "Don’t fall, all right? I’m not as tall or as strong as Desiree. You’ll squash me."Sebastian turned his blurred gaze towards the petite woman struggling to keep him upright as they made their way towards the main door.It took him a moment to register that the person supporting him was his woman.His Rosie."I... I won’t fall," he mumbled. "I’m strong...""Mhm. Yes, of course you are," Rosie replied nonchalantly.At last, they reached the

Chapter 178 : No need to cook it, it’s already well served in front of me,

Sebastian locked the door before shrugging off his stained suit jacket and pulling his shirt over his head."W-Wait!" Rosie scrambled out of bed. "What are you doing?""Ah? I’m... taking my shirt off?"Sebastian dropped it onto the floor, revealing his broad, well-proportioned physique and the hawk tattoo stretched across his chest."Well, if you want to change before going to sleep, then let me leave the room first." Rosie hurried towards the door.She barely made it two steps.Sebastian moved in front of her, his larger frame blocking her only route out."We’ve seen each other naked before. Why do you need to leave?""B-But that doesn’t mean we can do this!" Rosie protested. "Besides, you’re drunk, Sebastian. You don’t know what you’re doing.""Oh, I know exactly what I’m doing."He was drunk, certainly, but there was still enough of his awareness intact after whatever strange seven-star fantasy haze had begun to wear off."No, you don’t!" Rosie snapped. "You’ve been this drunk bef

[E] Chapter 179 : Why? Haven’t I already told you that you’re my dinner tonight?

"Besides..." Sebastian stepped closer, his arms settling firmly around her waist. "Do you know what I want for dinner tonight?""S-Should I cook something for you?" Rosie offered weakly.Sebastian laughed."No need to cook it, it’s already well served in front of me," Sebastian replied.His innocent gaze gradually turned devilish as he was staring at his hunt tonight."W-What do you mean?" Rosie asked."I want you."Rosie’s heart gave an unsteady thump."Sebastian..."He leaned closer, lowering his voice."More specifically, I want to spend the evening making you feel good. I want to eat you and bury myself in that sweet spot between your thighs."Rosie’s breath caught at his boldness. She turned to face him properly, disbelief written across her features."You—Sebastian, that’s so...""What?" he teased. "Are you going to tell me it’s disgusting?"Rosie’s cheeks burned."You certainly didn’t seem to think I was disgusting when you were the sucking mine.""That... um..."Rosie’s legs f
