“Rose, promise me you won’t divorce me, okay? I’m begging you!”
“Seb, this isn’t fair to you. The child I’m carrying isn’t yours, and we didn’t marry each other under normal circumstances. You’ve lost your memory now, but I believe when you regain it, you’ll understand. You might even want to divorce me yourself.”
“Let’s discuss that after I regain my memory. But until then, I beg you, don’t divorce me. Let me be your husband, okay?”
“But Seb, this really isn’t fair to you. You don’t remember the past. Have you considered that you might not have loved me before?”
“I love you,” Sebastian almost shouted, “Rose, I love you, so stop saying these things.”
“No, Seb. You’re wrong! You don’t love me, but someone else. You love…”
“I don’t care,” Sebastian said emotionally. “I don’t want any other woman. I only want you. Don’t talk to me about other women.”
“But there is another woman. You’ve said so before.”
“That was in the past. Rose, I don’t care what I said before. All I know now is that I love you now. Other women have no place in my heart. I only have eyes for you.”
“No, Seb, you’re really mistaken. You…”
“You foolish woman! Of course I only love you. How could I love someone else when I care about you so much? Can’t you see that? Or are you deliberately avoiding it?”
“Seb, you’re my best friend. You’ve cared for me, looked after me, and been with me during my hardest times. I’m really grateful to you. But I…”
All her love, and even her hate, were for Theodore. She couldn’t split her heart in two.
She admitted she was moved by Sebastian. Sometimes, she would have illusions. When Sebastian was in trouble, she had nightmares. At that time, she even felt that if Sebastian truly loved her, she would be willing to be with him.
But once she calmed down, illusions were just that—illusions. It was all just her guilty conscience at work.
Because of her guilt, she wanted to make up for it in some way, but what could she give Sebastian?
