"Rose, didn't you already make plans to leave after divorcing Theo? Yet, you haven't left even after so long. So much has happened, and things are a mess right now. I think you should leave this country for a breather." "Mom, how do you expect me to leave at this point?"

"Why not? If you're worried about Grandma, don't. Your dad and I will take good care of her. As for Theo, he doesn't even dare appear before Grandma right now, and she doesn't recognize him at all." "But Mom..."

"Rose," Sydney said, cutting her off again. "I'll update you in real-time about Grandma's condition. If anything happens, I'll definitely call you back immediately. This place is very unsafe, and your abductor is still on the loose. What if he comes back and kidnaps you again? It's better for you to stay in another country for a period of time. You're not all by yourself now. You have a baby."

"But I promised Grandma that she'd be the first person I show my baby to once he's born!"

"Grandma no longer remembers that. If you suddenly show her a baby, she wouldn't remember, either. Rose, don't be stubborn, alright? Leave and take a breather. I'll settle everything back home. I also hope you'll pursue further studies while you're overseas." "Further studies?"

"Yes, your specialization in finance. I hope you'll pursue that while you're overseas. Rose, it's time to work on yourself. Go out and see the world. Don't worry at all about Grandma back at home."

Sebastian sat in the car, waiting patiently. As the minutes ticked by, however, his patience slowly ebbed.

He started feeling uneasy.

What exactly was Sydney telling Rosalie? Was she talking bad about him?

That woman was a smooth-talker who promised the stars, but heaven knows whether she would do something else altogether the moment she turned the other way.

None of the Spencers were trustworthy.

Just as Sebastian was about to get out of the car and check things out for himself, he saw Rosalie approaching the car.

Sebastian opened the car door. "Rose, you two are done?"

Rosalie's eyes were bloodshot.

"Rose, were you crying?" he asked.

"No. Let's head home."
