Sebastian was really depressed. How could he meet this Rowena when he came out to relax?
Last night, to have a good night's sleep, he drank a few more bottles of wine with his friends, but he still had a sleepless night. He closed his eyes, and the lingering dream seized the chance and drilled into his mind.
Today, his brain was still in a mess, and he stopped working and had no efficiency to speak of. He had no choice but to come to the seaside to relax.
Then he saw that Rowena had finally turned from the illusion in his mind into a real person who was sitting with another man.
Just how many men did this Rowena need to have?
The soft and cuddly Mia was still excitedly shaking Sebastian's big hand, not noticing the man's depressed mood at all, "Uncle, Leo also laughed at me for saying that I lost your business card and would never see you again. You see, we are really fated! Why don't we sit down and eat together?"
"No need." Sebastian stared at Rowena and said to Mia, "Your mother doesn't want to be disturbed by me."
"Eh? Uncle, are you being jealous?" Mia blinked her big eyes and pouted, "Uncle, do you like mom?"
"Mia, don't talk nonsense." Rowena's face darkened, "Where's Leo?"
"Brother just went to the toilet. I'll go find him." Mia was about to run to find her brother, but she was stopped by her mother.
"Jameson, go find Leo. It's easy for a child to get lost." Rowena gave Jameson a look, and Jameson immediately understood the meaning behind it. He stood up and left.
"Uncle Jameson, hurry up and get Leo back!" Mia shouted in a childish voice. She turned around and grabbed Sebastian's hand as if she was afraid that he would run away.
"Rowena." Seeing that Rowena had sent Jameson away, Sebastian sneered in his heart. Was this to create a world of two people for them? "What are you trying to do?"
"I don't understand what Mr. Laird means." Rowena was also confused. What did this man find out? "It seems that we have only met once in the psychological clinic."
"Really?"
"Just one encounter? Then what happened to Colton that time? What happened to his dream? If not for a long-term understanding, how could a single therapy lead him to feel uneasy?" He wondered in his mind.
The temperature in the air suddenly cooled down. Sebastian's aura was cold and heavy, suppressing everyone present. Even Mia sensed that something was wrong and weakly released her small hands.
Rowena knew nothing about Sebastian's thoughts. She clenched the corner of her clothes. If he knew that she had acquired Gale Group... Rowena stared at the man opposite her and waited for him to continue speaking.
"Think about what you did during the consulting. As a psychologist, how did you use your professional skills?" Sebastian's tone was full of ridicule.
"..." Her state of the battle just now really made no sense. Rowena wondered whether it was because that day she had carelessly finished up the therapy and failed to cure this man's psychological illness? "Mr. Laird, I'm sorry that I didn't provide you with enough therapy service..."
"Shut up." Sebastian's eyes were about to spit flames. He thought to himself, "If not for enough service, how could it be sufficient?" Only when he really couldn't hold back his desire and looked for her every day would it be sufficient?
"So... you are still suffering from insomnia? Can you describe your condition to me?" Rowena really didn't know how to comfort him. She had seen patients with poor therapy effects require to be treated again, but she had never seen those who lost sleep every night and had the energy to fly into a rage out of humiliation.
Although the man in front of her was in a state of rage, he seemed not so timid. On the contrary... he was a little cute.
"..." This time, it was Sebastian who was speechless. How could he describe that? That's right. Not only was he suffering from insomnia, but his mind was full of her indecent scenes when he closed his eyes.
There was bitterness that could not be said. The other side was still a woman. Even if he beat her up, he would be unreasonable. This was the first time Sebastian had been suppressed to such a state since he was young. He swung his hands and gave Rowena a fierce look. Then, he strode away with his long legs. He left without looking back.
"Eh... it turned out Leo didn't get the chance see this uncle." Mia sighed softly. She could not run up to stop him... As for such a fierce uncle, if Leo saw him, that little coward would definitely be frightened.
She would never admit that she was afraid of chasing after him.
"Mom, why is this uncle angry?" Mia tilted her head and looked at Rowena in a daze.
"Ah... he is sick. Mom didn't cure him." Rowena also felt that it was very funny. How could such a big man have such poor psychological endurance?
Seeing that Sebastian's car had left, Jameson pulled Leo over and used his eyes to ask about Rowena's situation.
Rowena silently made a hand gesture to her forehead, "I'm worrying too much. With Mr. Laird's current state, he shouldn't be able to think of what we are discussing."
He could not even sleep well.
The two adults and two children played happily on the beach until night. Jameson sent Rowena and the two children to the gate of the community. Just as they were about to leave, Rowena hesitated for a moment and suddenly smiled. She told Leo to take care of his sister and pulled Jameson to the corner of the wall. She said a few words to Jameson.
"Jameson, can you take Mia and Leo back to your place for a night? I'm afraid I have to entertain a guest here."
Jameson instantly understood what she meant. He pondered for a moment, "Can you handle it alone?"
"Don't worry. She can't lay hands on me at this critical time. On the contrary, the more exposed my relationship is, the worse it is for me." Her voice was still soft, but there was a sense of steadiness and determination that had been tempered over the years.
Jameson looked at her quietly for a few seconds, then he finally nodded, "Okay."
Watching Jameson drive away with the two children, Rowena silently cheered herself on in her heart.
For the two children, for her own home, she must be strong.
Sure enough, before she reached the door, she saw Rosalind blocking the elevator entrance as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.
"You..." Rosalind spoke first. She wanted to ask her where she had been fooling around all day, but when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back down. She was here to ask for help. She had to slow down her tone.
"... Rina." She cleared her throat and opened her mouth, "I have something to talk to you. Would it be convenient for me to sit at your place?"
"Alright." Rowena did not look at her directly. She walked around her, pressed the elevator button, and walked in.
It had been so many years, but she did not expect that her fingertips still trembled as she saw Rosalind again.
The painful and horrible memory appeared again: the day when she decided to give up her innocence and her body for her mother, the night that seemed to be torn all over, the pills that were going to kill her, and finally, the despair and suffocation that drowned her in the depths of the sea.
It was this woman in front of her who watched from the sidelines, participated all the way, and even pushed her all the way to hell.
She knew that her identity today was a negotiator to fight for the greatest benefits with the greatest rationality.
However, she could not help but blurt out a question, "Rosalind, aren’t you afraid to come looking for me?"
‘After all, for the past five years, I have wanted to kill you every day.’ she murmured to herself.
