“Theodore Spencer, I’m really going to ignore you if you continue being like this.”“You’re angry,” Theodore said, tears in his eyes. He stepped forward, and pulled her in his embrace. “Don’t be mad at me. I was wrong.”Rosalie was speechless right now. This man was behaving unreasonably just a second ago, and now, he was apologizing. He was being so two-faced, it wasn’t like him at all.Was this what he really was like, and that she just had never realized it? Or did he completely change after the divorce? Rosalie sighed helplessly. “You told me not to get mad at you, but everything you’re doing is making me angry. Can’t you just stop it?”Theodore wiped the tears away from his eyes. He suddenly grabbed her hand, lifted it up, and held it against his cheek. “Rose,” he said, “you wanted to hit me, didn't you? Hit me, I won’t stop you.”He grabbed her hand, and hit it against his face. “Hit me hard, hit me however you like, as long as it can appease your anger.”“Theo, don
“Rosalie Young!” Theodore yelled through gritted teeth. “I dare you to!”The image was too intense—-he couldn’t take it.“Try me, and see if I dare to or not. If you die, I’ll definitely do that. I want you rolling over in your grave. You won’t have peace even in the afterlife, and you’ll be helpless to do anything. Who told you to die? Who can you blame?” Rosalie bit out harshly.“You…”Theodore lifted a hand, and pointed angrily at her. “You…you’re vicious! How could you treat me like this? Do you have a conscience?”“I do. You’re dead, anyway. Why would it prick my conscience? Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married Sebastian. No one would bother us after you die. I’ll have three children with him. We’ll form a band, and we’ll sing ‘Those Good, Good Old Days’ at your tombstone.”After a few seconds, Rosalie seemed to hear Theodore curse under his breath. She couldn’t make out what he was saying, but she could tell that he was furious.After that, he crawled up from the floor with
Rosalie furrowed her brows, and changed the subject. “What about Cynthia? How’s she doing?”She thought the mention of Cynthia, the woman he cared about, would excite him and prevent him from losing consciousness.However, Theodore turned his head, and glared at Rosalie. “She’s lying on the hospital bed with people taking care of her all day. I haven’t seen her for a very long time,” he said coldly. “Is that so? Why?” she asked. Although she really didn’t want to talk about Cynthia, she had to find something to chat about with him to keep him awake.He was Grandma’s only grandson. If anything happened to him, she would certainly freak out.“Because I miss you. I couldn’t control my emotions and bring myself to see other women,” he said. Rosalie’s grip tightened over the steering wheel. “That’s laughable. People call this being unhappy with what you have.”When he was married to Rosalie, he got himself involved with Cynthia. Now that they were divorced and he could be with
Rosalie almost dared not pick up the call, but she bit the bullet and answered it anyway. “Hello, Grandma.”“Rose, what happened? I heard about the wedding. Is it true? Theo caused trouble at the wedding?” Rebecca asked. “Grandma, things are a little complicated. I’ll explain things to you the next time I meet.”“Just tell me if it’s Theo’s fault. If it is, I’ll teach him a lesson,” Rebecca said, with a tinge of anger.“Theo was rash, but this wasn’t entirely his fault. I’m a little busy right now. I’ll pay you a visit next time and explain the entire situation in person. Don’t worry.”“Where is he right now? Why can’t I reach him by phone?”“He’s with me right now, we’re discussing some work-related things. I’m a shareholder of SK Enterprise now, after all. I have to be in the know about some things, so I’m seizing this chance to talk through things with him,” Rosalie explained.“Alright,” Rebecca said. “Have a good talk with him. Whatever it is, he has to give me a good exp
“Rose? Rose…?” Sebastian couldn’t hear her voice.“I’m here,” Rosalie said. “I’ll rush back as fast as I can. Don’t worry about me.”“Yes, honey. I’ll be good.”Sebastian’s voice sounded pleasant to the ear, and he was being so obedient that Rosalie’s heart ached.People often say it was the squeaky wheel that got the grease, while the quiet wheel gets no attention. At this moment, Rosalie found Sebastian so obedient that her heart ached for him. On the other hand, Theodore was so clingy that is frustrated her deeply.Despite her mounting frustrations, she couldn’t simply ignore him. She had to consider Grandma, too.“Alright, I’ll get going. Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything.”Sebastian said, “Yes, honey.”After hanging up, Rosalie walked to the seats. She was about to sit down when someone appeared before her. Yvonne stood in front of her in her heels, a solemn look on her face. Rosalie was very shocked to see her. “Vonnie, what are you doing here?”“Do you no
Rosalie’s conscience was clear. Everyone knew about her marriage with Sebastian, and the two of them had never done anything to cross the line. What’s more, she and Theodore didn’t do anything bad attending the wedding today. She had been rejecting Theodore all along, so it made her uncomfortable that Yvonne had misunderstood her that way.“Even if your marriage with my brother isn’t for real, you shouldn’t have gotten involved with your ex-husband again. You know how he treated you before,” Yvonne said. “I’m not getting involved with him again! Since you followed me, didn’t you see what happened? I told him I don’t love him anymore,” Rosalie said, defending herself. “What’s the point of just saying so? He keeps pestering you. What if he goes to Seb and shoots his mouth off? A man like him is capable of anything!” Yvonne argued. “Is it my fault that he pesters me non-stop? What’s the point of questioning me like this? Vonnie, I have my own life and my considerations, as well a
At the end of the day, if she hadn’t loved Theodore, none of the things he did to her would have hurt her. It was ultimately because of love. Theodore thought she didn’t love him, which resulted in everything that had happened thus far.Yvonne blew her top at Rosalie’s words. “I think you’re just defending him. You’re seeking comfort from Seb after getting hurt by Theodore! You’re treating him like a spare tire, just as you did in the past!”Rosalie was furious. “That’s too much! I’ve never seen your brother as a spare tire! Also, I’ve never gone to your brother to seek comfort from him. I admit that he did keep me company and comfort me when I was hurt. For that, I’m very grateful to him. However, that wasn’t because I pestered him for it, but because he’s a good man who was willing to help me. Because of that, I was willing to help him, even to the point of marrying him. And now, you’re accusing me of treating him as a spare tire? Which woman in this world would go all out to h
Rosalie sighed. “Just listen to yourself! Don’t say such things anymore. Oh, yes. Grandma called me, but I didn’t tell her about your operation. Don’t tell her that first. I’ll cover up for you about the wedding.”“Thanks. I was too rash.”After sobering up, Theodore realized how rash he had been at the wedding. However, he didn’t really regret what he did.If he had another chance, he might do the same thing. People often did rash things, and life was bound to have its highs and lows, like the waves on an electrocardiogram of a living heart.“You finally realized how rash you were,” Rosalie said coldly. “You completely threw caution to the wind when you were drunk.”“I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”The guilty look on Theodore’s face and his apology made Rosalie’s heart soften, but only by a little. Reason told her she couldn’t soften her stance toward him.“You’re always like this, apologizing after making a mistake.”Theodore looked innocently at her. “Should I remain stubbo
