Chapter 298
"Yeah," Sebastian nodded. "That's her name."
"Do you have a photo of her?"
Rosalie was curious as to how the girl who caught Sebastian's fancy looked. Her curiosity was further piqued by the fact that Sebastian said that she was similar to her in character.
"A photo of her..." Sebastian looked as though he suddenly remembered something. "It's in my phone, but I left it at home and didn't bring it with me. That's also why I didn't see your text and answer your calls."
What a perfect excuse! It didn't seem at all suspicious. He was telling the truth, too.
He had left the house in a hurry this morning and, in his ire, forgot to bring his phone. He would never not answer Rosalie's calls.
"I see."
As it turned out, Sebastian had already left his house when she texted him.
"I'll check out her photo next time, then. But have you tried courting her? Or did you try and fail?"
"The problem is..." Sebastian lamented helplessly, "she has a boyfriend."
"Oh, so she's not single."
Rosalie suddenly didn't know what to say to Sebastian. Should she comfort him, or encourage him to pursue love regardless?Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Then again, it didn't seem like a good idea to encourage Sebastian to ruin another couple's relationship.
“Sebastian, I can understand how you feel. I know you like her, but she doesn't belong with you."
Just like her and Theodore.
Sebastian said, "She's broken up with her boyfriend."
"Broken up?" Rosalie was glad for Sebastian from the bottom of her heart. "Then you certainly stand a chance now! Go and court her!" "But she still loves her ex-boyfriend."
Sebastian sighed.
"Given how things are right now, she definitely isn't ready for a new relationship. Think about it. You've just gotten a divorce from Theodore. If someone confessed to you and try to pursue you, will you accept him?"
"I..." Rosalie shook her head. "I won't, but I don't speak for everyone else in the world. Some women find it easier to get over their heartbreak and sorrow with someone else's comfort."
"She's similar to you in character," Sebastian explained. "She gives her all in her relationships, and ends up getting deeply hurt."
Rosalie fell silent.
"Rose," Sebastian said morosely, "is there no way out? If I can't pursue her, it seems I'm going to die sad and alone."
"Please don't say that," Rosalie said anxiously. She tried to comfort him. "You're such an outstanding man! How could that possibly happen to you? As long as you're willing, there are plenty of women willing to be with you and love you."
"But Rose, you have to admit. For someone like me, even if I do have many women who are willing to be with me, do you really think they did it because of love? Many wanted to be with me for a different reason. I want a love that's pure, and a woman who loves me for who I am. But in today's world, where people can be so cruel and cold-hearted, is that even possible?"
Sebastian sighed.
He didn't look like he was faking it.
"You're selling yourself short. Even if you have nothing, I'm sure there will be someone who loves you for who you are. There are so many men in this world with nothing to their name They have neither your looks nor your talent, but they have people who love them. All the more a man like you! You just haven't looked seriously enough."
Rosalie comforted Sebastian like a big sister would.
"I found one," Sebastian said with his head bowed. "It's just a pity that the woman I love... I mean, Lily... What should I do now?"
