Chapter 204

Author: Night Revelations
Theodore was tired of hearing about double standards, but he could find no words to refute Sebastian.

Indeed… On one hand, he was keeping Cynthia company. On the other, he was annoyed by the fact that Rosalie was with another man.

He didn’t know why he felt this way, but he had fallen prey to every man’s tendency.

“Why are you looking for Rose? Do you need me to pass the phone to her?” Sebastian asked.

“No need,” Theodore said, a hint of ire in his voice. “Tell Rose that I’ll see her at the clerk’s office tomorrow at nine in the morning. I’ll bring our resident register along, and we’ll make our divorce official.”

Sebastian was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what he had just heard. He was about to say something, when Theodore hung up.

Sebastian knew they had been talking about a divorce since long ago, but it never happened due to various reasons.

Their talk of divorce was like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Sebastian had no idea when the wolf would really come,

    Rosalie gritted her teeth, and her hands started trembling. She was smiling, yet her eyes began welling up with tears. She quickly arranged the flowers and put down the scissors, not bothering herself with her final outcome of her arrangement. “I’ll head home now and prepare for the divorce tomorrow.”“You don’t need to go home,” Sebastian said, sensing how upset she was. He didn’t feel good letting her go back home, where she was bound to be alone.Even if Theodore was there, he would probably be nasty to her.“He said he’ll be bringing the resident register to the clerk’s office. You don’t need to go home. I’ll take you there tomorrow. It’s not far from here.”“That’s not such a great idea,” Rosalie said with a forced smile.She couldn’t bring herself to smile genuinely.“Why not? You were planning to stay here for a few days. Don’t let this change your plans. That man isn't worth it.”Sebastian strongly believed that Theodore wasn't worthy of Rosalie’s love. Still, he also

    “Although I was disappointed time and time again, I always clung onto some vestige of hope…until last night. He picked up her call and left, no matter how much I begged and tried to stop him.”“I was so angry, I secretly followed him. I saw how anxious he was about Cynthia. He grabbed her hand and promised her that as long as she survived the operation, he’d marry her.”Rosalie laughed. “He said it so easily, as if he had no wife. But that’s not entirely false. Since he doesn’t even love his wife, what’s the difference whether he has one or not?”She calmly narrated the situation, but the desperate hopelessness in her voice was enough to break one’s heart.“Rose, he’s not a good man. You’ll find a better man in the future,” Sebastian said, looking deeply at her.Rosalie shut her eyes. “I’ve known him for a decade. In the one year we were married, I’ve always thought of him as a decent man. One who always strives to be better at work, and is sensible in all things. He treated m

    Rosalie wiped the tears away from her face, and shook her head. “No need, but thank you.”“Okay. If, someday, you ever want me to beat him up, tell me. I’ll be ready to do it.”Sebastian was itching for a fight.Rosalie nodded. “Okay.”But that day would never come. Theodore would be nothing but a stranger after their divorce. She didn’t intend to ever see him again after that.No matter what Theodore did from then on, or how his relationship with Cynthia would progress, it had nothing to do with her.Everything that was bound to come to an end would end. When that time came, all the pain she was feeling right now would go away. She might need some transition time, but she would get better.“I want to be alone for a while. May I?” Rosalie said weakly, her tone melancholic.Sebastian stood up. “Call me if you need anything.”Rosalie nodded.After Sebastian left, she laid down weakly on the bed, all alone. She looked ahead, her eyes empty and soulless as they glazed over. -

    “She went back to her room to rest, and I felt bored alone at home. Of course I had to go out for some fresh air! I’ve returned now, haven’t I?” Yvonne retorted, slightly upset.Sebastian was always only fierce to her, and never to Rosalie.Sebastian shook his head, feeling hopeless. The logic his sister displayed was almost non-existent.“Don’t touch the food,” Sebastian warned before returning to the kitchen.Yvonne put her bag down, and followed him. “Seb, where’s Rose?”“She’s in her room.”“I’ll go find her.”“Stand right there,” Sebastian called out to her solemnly. “Don’t bother her.”“What’s the matter? Is she made of glass, so fragile that she’s untouchable?”Sebastian was being overly protective of Rosalie. He shouldn’t be treating his own wife like this, not to mention another man’s wife.“Something happened, and she’s very sad right now. Don’t bother her,” Sebastian said. Rosalie was probably feeling very emotional right now. Any careless word might just make he

    Rosalie’s husband seemed to be such a horrible bastard, they weren’t even willing to identify him.“Also,” Sebastian reminded Yvonne, “don’t go to her with so many questions. If you upset her, I won’t spare you.”Sebastian shot his sister a warning look when he issued his threat. He even pointed his ladle at her, as if he would hit her on the head with it if she dared to disobey him.Yvonne took a few steps back. Pouting, she muttered, “Fine, I won’t ask! Why are you being so fierce? You actually look pretty happy to me.”Sebastian’s face turned cold upon hearing her ridiculous words. “What did you say?” “I said that you look happy to see her getting a divorce with her husband.”“Yvonne Carter, are you asking for a beating?” Sebastian said solemnly. “If you are, just ask me for one directly. I won’t go easy on you.”“I’m telling the truth,” Yvonne said gleefully. “Don’t think that I can’t tell how secretly happy you are.”Sebastian felt embarrassed at being seen through by Yvo

    Yvonne knew that Rosalie wasn’t in a good mood, and probably didn’t feel like chatting.“Dinner’s ready. Let’s head down for some food.” Yvonne held her arm enthusiastically.Rosalie nodded.Yvonne could sense how terrible Rosalie’s mood was. She probably really loved her husband. Otherwise, even if she wasn’t glad about the divorce, she wouldn’t be this upset.When they reached the dining hall, they could see the table filled with delicious food that was great for pregnant ladies. They didn’t look greasy, and smelled great. “Rose, quick! Take a seat.” After serving the pot of soup which was the last dish, Sebastian removed his apron and put it aside.Rosalie stared at the whole table of food, and exclaimed in surprise, “Sebastian, did you make all this yourself?”“Yeah,” Yvonne said before Sebastian had a chance to speak. “Seb prepared all the food tonight. This is my first time seeing him cook like this. It’s so rare! I really lucked out because of you, Rose.”Sebastian

    "Vonnie, let me ask you something.""What's up?""Is it that obvious that I...like her?"Yvonne, the cheeky girl, figured it out in a heartbeat. Was she just too sharp, or was he too eager?"Are you kidding? You think you're being subtle?" Yvonne shot back."I'm asking you, okay? No need to flip out on me." Sebastian furrowed his brow. "Just answer my question."Yvonne replied, "Yep, you're as clear as day. One glance, and I could tell there was something off between you two.""Something off between us?" Sebastian propped his chin on the table edge. Then, he turned around, his expression somewhat awkward. "So, do you think it's just me who's off, or..."He paused, looking a bit embarrassed, but there was an urgency to know the answer.Yvonne had never seen her brother so flustered in all her years. It turned out that even the mighty CEO of Skycrest Enterprise could be at a loss when he liked a woman."It's just you," Yvonne replied bluntly, knowing exactly what Sebastian was asking. "C

    "Of course," Yvonne said, trying to please him as she hooked her arm around his. "My dear brother, you're so handsome and charming. You know how many women like you, right? You're not oblivious to that." "If it's not the one I want, what's the use even if there are ten thousand?" Sebastian sighed desolately. "What I want, I can't have. So, it's all meaningless." Seeing Sebastian sighing like that, Yvonne comforted him. "You're feeling down right at the beginning, which isn't like you at all. Don't worry. Your little sister will cheer you up!" Sebastian turned his head away. "Are you saying you really support me?" "Of course, you're my brother. Why wouldn't I support you?" "Even if she's been married before and is carrying another man's child, you don't think there's anything wrong with that?" Sebastian himself certainly didn't think there was anything wrong. He didn't have outdated, closed-off thinking, but he didn't expect his family to be as open-minded. "So what? You l

    The receptionist dialed Justin's room using the front desk phone, but no one picked up."I'm sorry, miss. The guest is not answering. He may not be in his room."Rosalie panicked. "Justin, where are you?""Check the surveillance footage," Rosalie immediately told the receptionist. "Please, pull up the footage. I need to see where he went.""I'm sorry, miss. We can't provide access to our hotel's surveillance footage to unauthorized persons. If you can't reach your friend, you should call the police. If law enforcement requests the footage, we will provide it to them."Rosalie hesitated. Her first instinct was indeed to call the police, but she was worried as Justin's identity was complicated.She stumbled out of the hotel entrance, took out her phone, and called him again and again.By the sixth call, Rosalie collapsed to the ground, crying uncontrollably."Justin, where did you go? Didn't you promise to wait for me? How could you lie to me? You swore! You're a liar! You never keep you

    Noah was not usually a friendly person. Those who arrived late or left early would get scolded, let alone someone who skipped work without reason.Rosalie looked at him with confusion."Rosalie, don't be so tense. I want to create a more relaxed work environment. Besides, I've noticed how dedicated and diligent you are. You're a rare talent."Noah's words were not just flattery; there was sincerity in them. Rosalie's financial articles were indeed impressive, with clear and logical analysis. Her insights were professional and precise, even making predictions that later came true."Rose, if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask me."Rosalie nodded. "Alright. Thank you."After Noah returned to his office, Rosalie was still puzzled.A colleague beside her whispered, "Yesterday, there was a helicopter picking you up. Who was it?"Rosalie frowned. "No one."Yesterday, she had snuck onto the balcony, thinking that as long as no one saw her board the helicopter, they wouldn't know who

    Rosalie clenched her fists and lightly pounded his chest, feeling a mix of shyness and frustration. "You're awful! How could you say something like that? Are you trying to annoy me on purpose?"She had come all this way just to confess to him, yet now he was teasing her, suggesting that she wanted to marry him just so he could get citizenship. It was infuriating.Justin had only asked that to tease her. Seeing her sulking face, he affectionately pinched her cheek. Then, he gently cupped the back of her head and pressed his forehead against hers. In a deep and tender voice, he said, "You came all the way here just to find me, and now you're talking about marriage… I don't even know how to react."It was the first time Justin had encountered a situation like this, and also the first time he had loved someone so deeply. He was a little overwhelmed."Justin, do you have any family or friends left in Melrine?"Justin shook his head. "No."To Justin, his family, his friends, and his love—t

    A surge of intense emotion welled up in Justin's chest. He pulled Rosalie into his arms and held her tightly.Rosalie wrapped her trembling hands around his waist."Rose, do you know what you're saying?" Justin's tone was heavy, almost accusatory. He needed to hear her say it with certainty, not just in a moment of impulse."Justin, I love you. Don't go, okay? I don't want you to leave."Some words were difficult to say, but once spoken, they could no longer be contained.She didn't know exactly when she had fallen in love with Justin. Maybe it was from the first time they met when he shielded her in his arms, or when she learned about his tragic past and felt sympathy for him. Or perhaps it was the accumulation of moments over time—his gentleness, his kindness, the way he cared for and protected her. In this seemingly cold and ruthless man, she saw goodness, and she couldn't help but fall for him.Now, she was sure. She wanted to be with him. The thought of never seeing him again dro

    The next day, Rosalie was distracted at work, staring at the numbers on the computer screen until they blurred before her eyes.The entire morning passed in a daze.Last night, she had sent Justin a message asking for the exact time of his flight today. He told her it was departing from Vlodon Airport at 2.30 PM.It was already 1.00 PM now. A sudden wave of anxiety surged within Rosalie.She had initially decided not to see him off as she couldn't bear the pain of parting. But now, an overwhelming emotion rose within her.She couldn't let him leave.Rosalie immediately shut down her computer and hurriedly left her desk.She drove straight to the airport, calling Justin multiple times on the way, but he never picked up.The airport was vast and crowded. Rosalie had no idea where Justin was. She could only search for him based on his flight time, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't spot him in the sea of people.She kept calling him and sending him messages.[Justin, please

    Rosalie's nose tingled, and tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably."Justin, I don't know what to do. I'm so scared. I don't know what the future holds."Hearing these words, Justin felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. It hurt."You're right. I'm scared too. I don't know what the future will be like either, so let's just leave it at this. Stay with Theodore—your bond spans over a decade. You once loved him so much. You have a child together, while I'm just an outsider. How could I ever compare?""Justin, don't say that."If one met the right person, even a minute was enough to fall in love with them. But if it was the wrong person, even decades together wouldn't stop both people from growing weary of each other.Justin sighed. "Then what should I say? After all those years with him, does he really have no place in your heart?"Rosalie lowered her head. "I…""Rose, don't deny it. He'll always have a place in your heart."It was easier to see things clearly as an outsider. That w

    Dinner was pleasant and harmonious.After the meal, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted. The atmosphere was especially warm and relaxed.Most of the conversation between Rosalie and Theodore revolved around the book she was about to write.Rosalie asked Theodore many questions, and he answered each one carefully, offering his advice. In this field, he was indeed more knowledgeable than Rosalie as he had years of experience. His insights were sharp, whether viewed from a macro or micro perspective.As their discussion grew more complex, it reached a level where others could no longer understand.Justin sat silently on the couch, watching them. Even though he didn't understand their conversation, he wasn't annoyed. His gaze remained fixed on Rosalie.It was as if he couldn't find a place in their discussion, nor did he want to interrupt. So, he simply watched them quietly.Unknowingly, time slipped away, and it was already 9.30 PM. Justin glanced at the clock.His gaze l

    "It's great to hear you say that! Once I've got a draft, you'll be the first to read it. If there are any mistakes or areas that need improvement, you have to point them out," Rosalie said.Theodore nodded and replied gently, "I can't wait to read it."Sitting quietly to the side, Justin watched their interaction. For a moment, he felt that the two of them were truly a perfect match. After everything they had been through, they could still share a meal and discuss these matters. They shared the same interests and values.And what about himself? Did he and Rosalie have anything in common? He knew nothing about finance. He was just a cold-blooded assassin. Only when he was with Rosalie did he feel like an ordinary person, but in reality, his true identity was one he could never reveal to anyone.Theodore was different. He was born into a prestigious family, had a high status in society, and had remarkable knowledge.Rosalie should be with Theodore. Only he could give her the life she de

    Theodore asked, "Then how do we know whether this so-called financial critic is telling the truth or not? After all, not everything is just a rumor.""Exactly! That's a great question," Rosalie replied with a smile. "This brings us to credibility and information verification. I want to clearly address this in my book and discuss how to determine the credibility of financial information, much like verifying sources on the internet. I can share methods for cross-checking company reports, financial data, and news sources."If a company is indeed facing an issue, we need to analyze the specifics—what kind of issue it is, whether it can be resolved, or if it is just a normal part of a business cycle. Sometimes, we can't just focus on a single point; we have to take a macro perspective.
