Late at night, the Carter Residence was brightly lit.

Xyla was dressed neatly. Sitting at her dressing table, she yawned. A maid was doing her hair.

"So late, and still making a fuss," she grumbled.

The maid, who looked to be in her forties and seemed to have worked for Xyla for a long time, bent down and whispered in her ear, "Mrs. Carter, it's the first tMr. Sebastian is bringing his girlfriend home. He must be eager for you to meet her." "He brings a girlfriend hjust after a marriage has been arranged for him. How timely." Xyla picked up a diamond hairpin from the dressing table, and put it against her hair. "I'll wear this one." Xyla went downstairs with her maid's help. Everyone in the living room was seated nicely. Geoffrey glanced up at his wife, and said indifferently, "Cover and meet Miss Young." Xyla slowly walked up and glanced at Rosalie, who stood up nervously from the sofa. "Hello, Mrs. Carter." Xyla looked her up and down. "You're Sebastian's girlfriend?" Rosalie bit the bullet, and nodded with a smile. "Yes." Xyla didn't say much and sat down a bit farther away from them, as if she wasn't part of the group. There seemed to be sdistance between her and Geoffrey.

Geoffrey didn't say much either, and turned to Rosalie. "Have a seat. No need to be so nervous." After Rosalie sat down, Sebastian noticed she was tense. He gently patted the back of her hand.

Rosalie instinctively wanted to pull back, but then remembered they were supposed to be a couple. She smiled at him, pretending they were really together. Geoffrey saw this, and smiled. "I remember you saying you two were just friends, Miss Young. Why chere so late at night claiming to be a couple now?" His eyes were sharp as he looked at them with a half-smile. It was as if he had seen through everything, but chose not to expose them.

"Because we were in a secret relationship before. We didn't want to make it public since I had just gotten divorced. But I didn't expect you to arrange a marriage for Sebastian," Rosalie replied. "Oh, really?" Geoffrey said. "But I told you before if you were Sebastian's girlfriend, I wouldn't oppose it. Why didn't you say so then?" Rosalie chuckled awkwardly.

"Because the news was too sudden. We hadn't thought about marriage yet. After careful consideration and discussion, we decided to tell you the truth. We've been together for a long time." Rosalie held Sebastian's hand, faking the intimacy. "So, we hope you can cancel his engagement to Miss Jones." After sthought, Geoffrey said, "That might be difficult, since both families have cto an agreement." "You don't necessarily need a marriage to continue business cooperation. If a marriage is involved, the interests of both sides might be so entangled that it'd be harder to resolve if there was a problem," Rosalie said.

"What you say makes sense, Miss Young, but why should I believe you?" Geoffrey's voice turned cold. "How do I know you two aren't just trying to deceiveto stop Sebastian from marrying?" "We're not lying to you." It was Rosalie's first ttelling such a lie. She was so nervous, her heart was pounding and her palms were sweating. "Sebastian and I love each other." Sebastian, taking the initiative, held her hand. He gently rubbed her palm with his thumb to comfort her.

"Really? Xyla, what do you think?" Geoffrey's gaze fell on Xyla.

She seemed to want to be invisible, and when suddenly addressed, she snapped back to reality, looking dazed: "Me? Don't you decide everything in this household?" "This is about your son's marriage. Shouldn't you be involved?" Geoffrey asked coldly.

"Oh, okay." Xyla sat up straight. "Looks like I can finally have a say in something."

Rosalie sensed stension between the couple They definitely didn't have a good relationship. Growing up, she had rarely seen

couples with good relationships. If it weren't for helping Sebastian with the fake marriage, she wouldn't care marriage about marriage at all. She didn't see it as a necessity. After all, marriage just seemed like trouble. Hearing Xyla's veiled comment, Geoffrey frowned but didn't say anything.
