"She's just a five-year-old. She's done nothing wrong. Whether I like her or not, you were the one who adopted her, so you have an obligation to take care of her. You cannot simply abandon her like this," Rosalie said.
Sebastian sat beside her. "Aren't you afraid that I might go mad and kill her? Yet you still wantto continue looking after her?" "I can take care of her," Rosalie said. "Didn't you say before that you adopted her to make our so-called family complete? If Nana doesn't cback, then this family will never be whole." "Are you saying that you fully acknowledge her as your daughter now?" Things had already cto this point. Whether she wanted to or not, she had to accept it. Rosalie nodded. "Yes, I do."

Rosalie vigorously wiped the spot on her face where he had just kissed her.
Before long, she saw someone rushing in. When she turned her head, she recognized him as one of Sebastian's subordinates. The man looked anxious, as if he had urgent news to report.

He has stationed guards patrolling twenty-four hours a day in all areas within his surveillance range to ensure that no one can get close to him. We've completely lost all contact and have no idea what he's planning now." Sebastian sneered. "So, Theodore wants to play this gwith me? He won't 't be able to find me. As for his movements, if we don't know, then so be it. Right now, I just want to live a good life with Rosalie here. No one can disturb us." Later, Sebastian went out.

Sebastian frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. Why did her voice sound so much gentler than usual? Was he imagining things because he was tipsy? However, he didn't overthink it and headed into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water echoed from inside. Rosalie gazed at the moon outside the window, her expression dark and unreadable.
After a while, Sebastian cout of the bathroom, dried off, and walked toward the bed, completely unclothed. He lifted the blanket without hesitation.
The moment he saw Rosalie beneath the covers, his breath hitched. He thought he must be hallucinating.
He pinched the palm of his hand, then looked again-Rosalie was wearing a black lace camisole.
Her outfit alone was enough to make him excited. Sebastian's eyes were so bloodshot they seemed ready to burst.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he said hoarsely, "Why are you wearing this?" She had worn something like thisbefore, but only because he had forced her to. This time, however, he hadn't pressured her-he had simply chto find her dressed like this. Was she seducing him?
