Theodore had no words for Rosalie’s outburst. He stood outside the door with one hand on the door. He rested his forehead weakly against the back of his hand on the door, and sighed.He said helplessly, “Fine, I’ll go. I’ll give you some time to calm down, but this isn’t the end of it. I won’t stand idly by and watch you and Sebastian live your days as a married couple.”Rosalie opened the door, and yelled at his retreating figure, “Theodore Spencer, what are you going to do to Sebastian? I’m telling you—if you dare hurt him, I’ll never forgive you!”Theodore had gone far, but he heard Rosalie’s warning. He clenched his fists as fire raged in his heart.Rosalie returned to her room, and hurriedly called Sebastian. The call went through, but he didn’t answer it. Instead, he hung up immediately.He was probably furious right now.She knew she had disappointed him greatly.Sebastian had been a good friend to her, sticking to her side all the way, helping her, taking care of her and
“I’m about to go on a holiday with my wife.”“You’re going on a holiday right now? Are you sure?”“Yeah. With my son’s wedding settled, we have put down the very last major burden of our lives. Isn’t it very reasonable for my wife and I to go on a holiday? I’ve got to go. The plane’s about to take off.”“Carter, wait!”Before Sydney could say any further, Geoffrey hung up. When she tried calling him again, she found his phone switched off.Sydney was furious. Geoffrey must have done it on purpose!Flying off suddenly for a holiday and calling her right before flying off to tell her about this, then disappearing without a trace.Sydney called Rosalie.Rosalie answered the call quickly. “Hello, Mom.” “Did you marry Geoffrey Carter’s son?”“How did you find out?”Rosalie’s words made Sydney flare up. “Rosalie Young, are you quite mad? Why did you marry his son? Do you have a screw loose?”“Mom, I’m sorry for not telling you about this. I’ll explain this to you later. Please g
Rosalie shook her head.Sydney scoffed. “In that case, you don’t really think marrying Sebastian was a mistake. If Theo hadn’t looked you up, your relationship with Sebastian would still be fine.”Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”“In that case, we’ll have to blame Theo for this. He shouldn’t have come looking for you and said what he said.”“Mom, things have already come to this point. It’s meaningless trying to blame someone. I just hope that everyone will calm down,” Rosalie said. “And then? Will you still see Theo after everyone has calmed down?” Sydney asked.Rosalie shut her eyes, looking pained. “I don’t want to see him.”“You won’t forgive Theo, will you?”“Forgiveness is no longer a question between Theo and me. Perhaps we’re both responsible for things turning out this way. Since we need to pay the price for our mistakes, we have to stay as far away as possible from each other to prevent the situation from worsening, especially since we’re divorced.”“He’s the father of your c
“Divorce?”“Yes. Isn’t it a fake marriage? In that case, there has to be a limit. You won’t really spend the rest of your days with him, will you?” Sydney said.“We’ll let nature take its course, I suppose. When he meets a lady he fancies, he’ll naturally divorce me.”Sydney laughed sardonically. “You’re even more generous and open-minded than I thought! Your divorce with Theo must have caused you to lose all expectations and reverence towards marriage in general. It’s become nothing but a tool that isn’t even all that important, is that it?”“Yes,” Rosalie admitted frankly. “My marriage to Theo brought me nothing but pain and sorrow. Marriage means nothing to me right now, except maybe a tool that I might lend a friend if he needs it.”Sydney had nothing to say in response to Rosalie’s words. Rosalie didn’t even care about her own marriage, which was why she could easily make use of it to help a friend. Theodore had truly hurt her deeply, to the point she gave up all hope in
In the deep of the night, Sebastian sped along a quiet, secluded road until he reached an obscure bar with many motorcycles parked outside.Sebastian was very distraught. He got out of the car and made a beeline for the bar, wanting to drown out his frustrations with alcohol. Many people in the bar were dressed in biker style, with tattoos adorning their bodies. To a traditional person, they didn’t look very decent.Sebastian walked, dressed in his suit, looking like a member of high society and sticking out like a sore thumb in the crowd.Everyone was staring at him. He ignored them all, and sat at the bar counter and placed his order.The bartender watched as Sebastian downed a few glasses consecutively. “First time here, handsome? You don’t look like you’re in a good mood.”Sebastian looked up and said coldly, “Just do your job and give me my drinks.”He exuded an aura of cold authority, and his words sent a chill down the bartender’s spine.The bartender had seen his sha
The next day, Rosalie woke up in the middle of a nightmare.“Seb, no! No!”She dreamt of Sebastian fighting with Theodore, and Theodore beating Sebastian to death.The first thing she did after jumping out of bed was to check her phone and see if Sebastian called her.He didn’t.Rosalie freshened herself up, planning to go to Sebastian’s office to find him. He might be deliberately ignoring her calls.Once she was ready, she opened the door. Lo and behold, she saw Theodore standing outside. She jumped back in fright, and was about to slam the door shut when he raised his hand and pressed it against the door. “Wait,” he said.“Theodore Spencer, can you please stop harassing me?”This man was suffocating her first thing in the morning.“Rose, can’t you just talk calmly to me? I’ve been waiting for you here since four in the morning. I didn’t want to disturb you, so I didn’t knock and decided to wait till you came out. I don’t mean to force you, but can’t we just sit down and t
Taking advantage of Theodore loosening his grip, Rosalie shook him off forcefully."It doesn’t matter if I give you time or not. It’s impossible for us to get back together anymore. What do you take me for? When you wanted a divorce, I had no choice but to leave. Now that you want to reconcile, I'm supposed to give up everything for you?" she sneered."Give up everything? Are you referring to Sebastian? Is he your everything?" Theodore spat furiously.Rosalie was tired of arguing with him.After resuscitating Cynthia, the doctor walked out of the ward. "Mr. Spencer, Miss Zeller only has a few days left to live. There's still no news from the organ donation bank, and hope is slim. However, we’ll try our best to minimize Miss Zeller’s pain."Theodore's eyes were empty, as if he was drunk in a faraway dream.Standing at the side, Rosalie was silent. She couldn’t make any sarcastic remarks, nor could she say any comforting words. In truth, she didn’t care whether Cynthia lived or die
"The patient seems to have been attacked. We don't know who he is yet. The police are trying to find his family. If we get the family's consent, we can perform the surgery immediately!"Seeing how excited they were, Rosalie felt a heavy weight on her. From their perspective, they would naturally be happy. On the other hand, the injured person they mentioned would die. After all, it was one person's life for another's. As expected—as long as the one dying wasn’t someone they cared about, it didn’t matter.The doctor continued, "The patient's organs are very healthy. If the family agrees, his corneas and all his organs, even his skin, can be donated. We could save many lives.""You said he was attacked?" Theodore asked.The doctor nodded. "Judging from his injuries, yes. And he had no identification on him. He might have been robbed.""I see. Once you find his family, tell them that if they agree to donating his organs, I’ll agree to any condition," Theodore said.Rosalie felt di
