Chapter 28
Rosale thought Sebastian would ask her questions. Considering the awkward and complex situation they had just experienced, anyone would be curious. But Sebastian remained silent, sitting beside her without uttering a word. Rosalie didn’t want to answer such questions either, so his silence was appreciated. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
After a long silence, Rosalie spoke first, “Mr. Carter, I didn’t know you were the major shareholder of Ashwick University.”
Sebastian hummed softly. “Skycrest Enterprise has invested in many schools.”
Skycrest Enterprise?” Rosalie was taken aback by his reply. “You’re Skycrest Enterprise’s…?”
Sebastian extended his hand and smiled. “Let me reintroduce myself. I’m Sebastian Carter, Skycrest Enterprise’s CEO.”
It was only then that Rosalie realized how deeply Sebastian had concealed his identity.
Skycrest Enterprise was a major conglomerate, coveted by countless individuals who sought the best benefits. Like SK Enterprise, it was a multinational corporation with substantial financial resources. Some of the two companies‘ businesses were even direct competitors.
Rosalie reached out and shook his hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Rosalie Young.”
After the handshake, they withdrew their hands.
“Then, I’ll call you Mrs. Spencer from now on.”
“No, I won’t be Mrs. Spencer for long.”

Mending around before returning to the hospital room.
Theodore was nowhere in sight. Rosalie wondered if he and Cynthia had gone back. Thinking about their previous interactions, she realized that if Cynthia wanted the stars in the sky. Theodore would pluck them for her
Seeing Rosalie’s troubled expression, Sebastian seemed to understand something, but he didn’t say anything.
Rosalie spent about two hours at the hospital with Sebastian, talking. about many things. She was surprised to find that he was similar to her in many ways – even their values aligned.
Time flew by as she had fun chatting with Sebastian, and she almost. forgot the time until her phone rang.
Seeing Theodore’s name on the caller ID, she answered, “Hello.”
“Come home. I need to talk to yo
you.
“What’s the matter? You can tell me over the phone, right?”
“Are you planning to spend the night with that man?” asked Theodore in a tone that was dark and uncomfortable to listen to.
Rosalie glanced at Sebastian and realized she shouldn’t stay with him. for too long.
“Fine, I’ll come back.”
Theodore probably wanted her to sign the divorce papers. The sooner she did it, the better.
After ending the call, Rosalie put her phone back in her bag and said, ” Mr. Carter, it’s getting late. I’ll be leaving now. Is there anything else.
you need me to do?
I’m fine. You should head home,” Sebastian replied.
Tl come to see you tomorrow.”
I’ll be discharged early tomorrow morning. If we get the chance, let’s have a meal together. Your treat.”
“Sure.”
Rosalie was extremely grateful toward Sebastian. She felt that simply accompanying him for a walk wasn’t enough to repay him. After exchanging a few more words, Rosalie left the hospital room. Not long after she left, Sebastian picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Bring the car. I’m going back.”
Since Rosalie had left, he didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer.
When Rosalie returned home, she expected Theodore to be there waiting for her since he had asked her to come back. To her surprise, he wasn’t home.
She asked the butler, who informed her that Theodore hadn’t
returned. He had called and asked her to return home, yet he wasn’t there himself. Feeling a mixture of anger and amusement, Rosalie called him.
He answered after a short while, “Hello.”
“Didn’t you say you wanted to talk to me? Why aren’t you home?”
“There’s been a small unexpected situation. I’ll be back a bit later.”
“Unexpected situation? Is it related to Ms. Zeller again?”
“Yeah.”
Theodore didn’t hide anything. It seemed like something natural for him. Rosalie felt both annoyed and amused.
“Fine, whatever!”
As she hung up, she felt so angry that she wanted to throw away her phone.
