Rosalie stared at Sebastian, noticing he seemed to have lost sweight.
It seemed that Sebastian had noticed her gaze, as he turned to her and said, "Rose, what are you standing there for? Cand sit
for a while."
Seeing Sebastian's easygoing manner, Rosalie remembered when they first met. Had he really changed and returned to the way he
was before? It seemed the divorce had been good for him.
Sitting next to Sebastian, Rosalie felt a bit awkward. She smiled and said, "Sebastian, could you watch Steve for me? I'll go help
Yvonne in the kitchen."
With that, she walked into the kitchen.
"Vonnie, lethelp you."
"What's wrong? Don't you want to talk to my brother?" Yvonne seemed to sense something in Rosalie's expression.
Rosalie smiled. "There's nothing to talk about. We just got divorced, so it's a bit awkward. Letstay here with you."
"Well, okay then." Yvonne didn't press further.
The two of them worked together in the kitchen.
Noticing Rosalie's quiet demeanor, Yvonne moved closer and whispered, "What's going on?"
Rosalie shook her head. "I'm fine. How's your brother been lately?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"He's doing okay, but I'm sure he's not feeling great about the divorce."
Rosalie didn't know that she and Sebastian were cousins. Since they had already divorced, Yvonne didn't tell Rosalie about it. It
was better to avoid bringing it up now, as it might cause unnecessary complications.
If Rosalie found out he was from the Jackson family, she might not be able to accept it.
"Vonnie, if Seb is in a bad mood or if anything happens, remember to tell me."
"You're still worried about Seb, aren't you?" Yvonne asked.
Rosalie nodded. "Well, no matter what, we're still friends, and he's helpeda lot."
Seeing Rosalie's serious expression, Yvonne sighed inwardly. If they weren't cousins, things might have been different.

Then, Sebastian took off his apron. "Vonnie, we should head home."
