Then tension in the air was thick. Rosalie was caught in the middle, undoubtedly the most tormented person there."That's enough, both of you! Let go! I'm begging you!" Now, not only was she angry, but she also felt embarrassed. She really didn't want to be a laughingstock. She was already ridiculous enough!Seeing Rosalie frown and her eyes reddening, Sebastian gave in. He was the first to let go of her wrist. Looking guilty, he apologized, "I'm sorry, Rose."Rosalie thought they were both going to let go of her; unexpectedly, as soon as Sebastian released her, Theodore seized the opportunity and pulled her into his arms with one hand. His other hand gripped her back firmly, and he pressed her forcefully against his chest.Rosalie's forehead bumped against his shoulder, causing her to feel dizzy. She was pregnant, and her body was fragile, so the intense movement made her unwell.Anxiously, she raised her head. She saw deep-rooted suspicion on his dark face. She was in deep pan
Theodore's anger intensified. "Looks like Sebastian knows everything. Are you hiding something from just me? What exactly is going on? If you don't tell me, don't even think about leaving today!"He felt Rosalie hadn't told him many things. It was as if everyone else knew about her life—except him."Tell the truth! Now!" Theodore demanded. He suppressed his anger, his breath becoming rapid and his heart pounding.Rosalie lowered her head to hide the panic in her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.Sebastian, both angry and feeling sorry for her, said, "Rose, tell him! Let him know what an irresponsible man he is, and how he's pushed you to this point!""Sebastian, shut the hell up!" Theodore roared at him. "This is between Rose and me! You’re an outsider, so mind your own business!""I'm her friend, not an outsider! Clearly, you're the outsider! Forget being something ridiculous like siblings, you're divorced and not even friends!" Sebastian's tone was sarcastic, filled
Theodore stood there unmoving, staring blankly at Rosalie. He almost forgot to breathe. The seconds felt like centuries to him.His trembling lips moved slightly as he took a step toward her.Seeing this, Sebastian moved to intervene and stop Theodore from getting closer to Rosalie. However, Yuvan forcefully stopped him and didn't allow him to approach.Sebastian clenched his fists; he was about to grab Yuvan's collar and fling the latter aside, when Rosalie suddenly spoke up. "None of you come any closer!"Theodore stopped in his tracks abruptly, like a soldier instinctively obeying orders.Rosalie slowly stood up from the ground. She felt dizzy but tried hard to suppress it, not showing any discomfort. She raised her head to speak to Sebastian. "Seb, I’m sorry, but I think I need to go back and rest.""I'll send you home." Sebastian took a step forward, but Yuvan blocked him again."Get out of my way!" Sebastian balled up his fist to punch him.Although Yuvan felt a bit u
"It’s this," Rosalie began softly. "That day, I cried and begged you not to go see Cynthia, but you insisted because she was sick. I followed you in my car and saw you making promises to her. When I went back, it was raining heavily, and I fainted at the hospital entrance. I never told you about it until now, and I didn't see the point in doing so. If it weren't for Sebastian mentioning it, I would never have said anything, because I felt it was meaningless."Theodore stared at Rosalie in a daze, with mixed feelings. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hesitated.Was it really about that? But why didn’t he believe it?He felt that there were other, more important matters that she wasn’t telling him. This was just one of them.Sebastian sighed inwardly. In the end, Rosalie still didn't tell Theodore.But that was for the best. Sebastian could tell that Theodore came here today on purpose. He and Rosalie were divorced, but he was still clinging to Rosalie like this.
"It's simple. You're not a good person." Theodore spat out each word through gritted teeth, eyes blazing with fury.The two men stood very close to each other.Both of them were tall, towering figures, exuding a fierce aura. When their eyes met, it seemed there was a raging fire between them.Onlookers couldn't help but feel intimidated. Afraid of being caught in their crossfire, they subconsciously moved further away.Yuvan took a few steps back. Those who knew these two men were aware that they were not to be trifled with.Sebastian narrowed his eyes, his eyes glinting dangerously. "What about you? Do you think you're a good person?" He leaned in closer, mocking, "You can't even be a good husband, so how can you be a good person? Isn't that right?"Theodore actually had the nerve to mock him for not being a good person. It was ridiculous!Sebastian might not be a good person, but that wasn't up to Theodore to say.The anger between the two men was escalating, and a fight was
"You're just a self-righteous bastard. It was a curse for her to marry you, but now, it's finally over. You two are finally divorced. If you have even a shred of conscience left, don't go and disturb her anymore. She doesn't need you!" Each of Sebastian’s words was like a sword that pierced Theodore’s heart.Those words seemed to float right before his eyes, each line vividly clear, and each word transforming into Rosalie's weary and pale face.Drenched in rain, collapsing, feverish, crying…He never knew such things happened to Rosalie.If he had known, he wouldn't have rushed there angrily to take her away that night.He wouldn't have been so harsh, and he certainly wouldn't have threatened her with divorce to force her to come back with him.He clearly saw her in tears, yet he completely disregarded it and forced her anyway.Just because he was blinded by jealousy and let his pride get the better of him…Although Theodore was unwilling to admit that what Sebastian said was
Theodore stood outside Rosalie's building.Earlier, his bodyguard informed him that she had safely arrived home. He got the address, and came here alone.So this was Rosalie's new residence. It was a very ordinary neighborhood.She preferred to move here rather than back to her own home. She didn’t want the house that used to belong to both of them anymore.He guessed that she wouldn’t want anything related to him.‘Rose, do you hate our marriage, or do you hate me as a person?’ he wondered.If she only hated the marriage, why was she still so unhappy now that they were divorced? Or was it that she hated him as a person?Was that why she blocked him? Because she wanted him out of her world?So, she hated him as a person!Theodore took out his phone from his pocket. He found Rosalie's number, and typed a message to her.He spent a long time to type this message, about ten minutes. He deleted and revised it repeatedly. In the end, he had sent only a few words.He knew Rosalie
Rosalie pulled her phone out of her pocket, and saw that it was Sebastian calling.She had completely forgotten about promising him that she would call him to tell him she had arrived safely back home.Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, took a deep breath, cleared her throat, and answered the call. “Hello.”“Rose, are you home? You didn’t call me, and I got a little worried.”Rosalie chuckled. “Thanks for your concern. I’m home. Sorry I forgot to call you.”“It’s fine, as long as you’re home. You haven’t had dinner yet. I’ll send dinner over to you.”“No need, I can prepare dinner myself. There’s lots of food in the fridge.”“Okay, then do it soon. Remember to have dinner. Don’t forget that you need to take care of your baby. Your baby will get hungry, too. You two aren’t alone, I’m around,” Sebastian said, in a voice filled with concern and tenderness.Rose covered her mouth, trying hard to muffle her sobs.Why did Sebastian show so much concern for her, care so deeply
