Aside from herself, Rosalie couldn't give him anything else.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe felt many things for Sebastian: gratitude, touched feelings, and guilt. However, her love had long since died.
Sebastian closed his eyes in pain. Rosalie's silence was his answer. Everything was as he had expected, but the pain was still unbearable.
He sighed softly, struggling with the heart-wrenching pain. "Alright, Rose. I won't force you to answer. You don't have to answer me, but I beg you to promisethat you won't divorce me. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do, but just this one thing-don't divorce me. As long as you don't divorce me, I will do whatever you ask." "Seb," Rosalie said hoarsely, "Is this a trade? If I agree to this, you'll promise to protect my child when it comes down to it, right?" "Yes. If that's how you want to think of it, then it is a trade." Rosalie said, "You wantto exchange my marriage for this?" "Rose, you can hateor resent me, but I can't control myself. I'm going crazy. I don't know how else to get you to stay. I love you too much. I can't bear the thought of you not being by my side. I can't bear the thought of us divorcing one day. I might... I might die." In the end, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak. His eyes were red and filled with both pain and deep affection.
"Seb, is it really worth it for you to do this? I don't want to make you suffer. There are so many women who deserve your love and will love you in return. But my heart..." "Don't say it, Rose." Sebastian covered her mouth once again. "Don't say it. I don't want to hear it. I only asked if you are willing." Rosalie pushed his hand away, shaking her head. "I don't know. I really don't know. Seb, please don't force me." "But you're forcingtoo," Sebastian said with sanger.

"But this is my child," Rosalie said in pain. "I've already given up Theodore. I can't give up his child. As long as I'm still alive, I must ensure the child is safely born." "I'm your husband!" Sebastian said with agitation. "My request is not unreasonable. I only ask that you don't divorce me." "Is this marriage so important to you?" "Are you saying it's not important to you?" Sebastian laughed through his pain. "Since it's not important to you, then what does it matter if we divorce? Moreover, even if you divorce me, what then? Do you want to reconcile with Theodore?"
"No!" Rosalie cried. "I never thought of reconciling with him just.."
"Just what?" Sebastian interrupted her. "Rose, you should know that even if Theodore is still alive now you can never return to him because you've given him up. If you divorceagain, you'll have hurt two men. Do you want us both to suffer? You should at least protect one person. You can't let both men suffer because of you." Rosalie was silent for a long time.
Things had cto a point where all three of them were in pain.
If only she had left earlier, things wouldn't have ended up like this? She had meant well, but in the end, she n: only made things worse. X
