Lily immediately straightened her back upon seeing him. "Mr. Carter, what brings you here?"

Sebastian shut the door, and walked toward her. "Are you going to bed soon?"

Lily shook her head. "Not yet. Is anything the matter?"

"I came to see you. I saw Rose leaving your room. Did she say anything to you?"

"Nothing much. She just prepared some things for me." Lily said. She thought that telling Sebastian about her chat with Rosalie just now would surely sadden him.

However, Sebastian seemed to see through Lily's thoughts.

"I think I have a clue," Sebastian said. "Although I don't remember everything, I can sense that something is amiss in my marriage with Rose. Otherwise, why would she try matchmaking us? She probably wants to divorce me."

Lily was at a loss for words.

Sebastian lowered his head. "I must have done something bad, that's why..."

"No, Mr. Carter," Lily assured him. "You're great, you really are, but you didn't tell Rose how you feel about her. What's more, you claimed to like another lady. That's why things are the way they are now." "You mean I should confess my feelings to Rose?"

Lily nodded. "Yes, you should have done so a long time ago. You shouldn't have told her that you liked another woman. Saying that would only push her further away from you. In her perspective, since you already have a woman you fancy, how could she bring herself to love you?"
