Theodore was still very deep in sleep, and the commotion didn’t seem to be waking him up.As much as she didn’t want to cry, tears of anger slid down Rosalie’s cheeks. Just then, Sebastian walked over and saw the scene before him. He heard the commotion; sensing that something was wrong, he rushed over. He furrowed his brows, and stood in front of Rosalie.“Oh, who do we have here?” Cynthia leaned into Theodore’s arms and smiled. “How bold of you to come here and catch us red-handed while having a man with you at the same time.”Sebastian turned around, and held Rosalie’s shoulders. “Why don’t we go back?”“No, wait.” Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, and walked past Sebastian. She walked to the bedside, and grabbed Theodore’s arm.“Theodore Spencer, get up! Get up right this instant!”“What are you doing?” Cynthia stepped forward in a bid to stop Rosalie, but was shoved her aside.“Ahh!”Cynthia collapsed weakly on the bed, and started sobbing.“Theodore, wake up! They
Rosalie wiped the tears from her face, and smiled coldly. “Good on you, Theodore. I used to blame it on my imagination, since I’ve never personally witnessed it for myself. I continue trusting that you’d have a line you wouldn’t cross. But now that I’ve witnessed it for myself, I’ve seen through you. You’re nothing but a wicked bastard. I never want to see you again!”Rosalie turned to leave.Crying, kicking up a fuss and even scolding were pointless indeed. She didn’t want to remain entangled with him here.“Wait,” Theodore said as he grabbed her arm.He opened his mouth, as if trying to say something, but Sebastian lurched forward and grabbed Rosalie’s other arm. “Let her go!”“What does this have to do with you? She’s my wife! Scram!” Theodore barked.“Haha,” Sebastian laughed, smirking. “Spencer, how dare you call her your wife? Just look at what you’ve done!”“I don’t need you pointing fingers at me. Let go of Rose!”“You should be the one letting me go!” Rosalie snarled
Cynthia’s gaze landed on Sebastian. He was very handsome, but who was he? Theodore called him Sebastian just now, as if he knew him. Does Theodore know the man whom Rosalie was fooling around with?Looking at the attendant uniform that he was in, Cynthia wondered if he was a staff member here. It explained how Rosalie was able to sneak in.That thought made Cynthia feel especially smug.What was the point of merely being handsome? He was neither rich nor powerful, and was no match for Theodore. A lowly bitch like Rosalie was a perfect match for such lowly service staff.Sebastian instinctively felt disgust toward Cynthia. His brows furrowed as he turned to Rosalie and said, “Rosalie, what do you intend to do now?”“Yeah, Rosalie. Get a divorce, quick,” Cynthia said.She sat on the bedside and held Theodore’s hand, her smug expression making one feel disgusted.Suddenly, Rosalie laughed out loud. Why did she have to be the one crying out of misery? Why did she have to be the
“Why are you with Cynthia, then? What right do you have to accuse me? How shameless can you get?!” Rosalie yelled.“I just want to be with Cynthia!” Theodore raged. “I told you that clearly before we got married. I was the one who asked for a divorce. You agreed so readily to it. You were clearly in a rush to file for a divorce, so don’t go around acting like the victim here!”Rosalie’s body shook with anger. This man had become utterly unreasonable.“Fine. Are you sick of even putting up a pretense? You’re too much!”Sebastian pulled Rosalie behind him, and yelled at Theodore, “Call yourself a man! How could you bully Rose like this?!”“Am I a man?” Theodore chuckled in a cold, frightening manner. “Sebastian Carter, ask Rose yourself whether I am a man. She knows the answer to that best.”Rosalie clenched her fists, overwhelmed with anger and humiliation. How dare he say something like this to humiliate her in front of others! “You bastard!” In his fury, Sebastian charged fo
Sebastian knew that Rosalie was feeling very emotional right now, and therefore didn’t step forward and add to the chaos. Otherwise, it would only serve to add fuel to the fire. Instead, he simply stood behind her silently.Rosalie turned to look at Sebastian, and grabbed his arm. “Sebastian, let’s go.”She really didn’t want to stay here a minute longer. She had seen through things, and she was feeling exhausted.Rosalie dragged Sebastian away in a bid to leave, but Theodore took a step forward. “Rose,” he called out.“Theodore Spencer!” Rosalie turned around and glared coldly at him, the usual tenderness in her eyes all but gone. “Stay here and continue frolicking around with Cynthia if you wish. From now on, we’ll only be husband and wife in name. I won’t interfere in your business, so please don’t interfere in mine either.”She was completely disappointed with him.Rosalie left with Sebastian, while Theodore felt as though there were two huge rocks tied to his feet that sto
Theodore looked silently at the woman on the floor. The darkness in his eyes faded as tears slid down her cheeks, and the final vestiges eventually gave way to guilt.Cynthia was right. What wrong did she do? He was the one who told Cynthia that he wanted to marry her, and that he would file a divorce with Rose for her sake. Was he trying to blame Cynthia now for sleeping with him on the same bed? What a joke!Theodore had been filled with rage just moments earlier and wanted to vent it all on Cynthia, but he ended up like a deflated balloon with nothing more to say. Since he fell asleep under the influence of the sleeping pill, he was naturally unable to do anything with Cynthia. However, it was a different issue from other people’s perspective.Cynthia cried so hard her sobs gradually became hoarse, until she eventually went out of breath. She collapsed on the floor, and clutched her chest in pain.“Cynthia!” Theodore sprinted forward, and hauled her up in his arms before p
Rosalie and Sebastian changed out of the uniform, and headed back on the helicopter.Rosalie was still in a daze, as if she had her soul sucked out of her. She didn’t say where she wanted to go, and only realized that Sebastian was taking her to a villa that she had never seen before when the helicopter finally landed.“Come on down,” Sebastian said as he carefully helped Rosalie down the helicopter, afraid that she might fall.Rosalie looked around her. “Where are we?”“I saw how miserable you looked. Since you didn’t say anything, I decided to bring you to my place. Don’t worry, only my servants and I are around. There’s no one else.”“Sebastian, I’m really sorry for causing you so much trouble.”Rosalie felt soulless throughout the entire journey, her mind a complete blank.“It’s not trouble at all. Let’s head in and get some rest first. Once we feel up to it, I’ll send you home.”Rosalie went into a daze again as her eyes went out of focus. She didn’t even respond to him. S
“It’s fine, it’s just a shirt.” Sebastian smiled. He winced in pain as he accidentally pulled the wound at the corner of his lips.Rosalie thought that his face looked a little swollen. “Do you need to go to the hospital to get your injuries checked?” “It’s all right. Just some superficial wounds. I’ll be fine in a few days.”“No way! You have to at least apply some ointment. You can’t just leave it be. Do you have a first-aid kit at home? I’ll help you treat your wounds.”Sebastian was about to reject her, but allowing her some distraction from her bad mood seemed like a good idea. With that, he nodded and asked his servant to fetch the first-aid kit.Rosalie opened the first-aid kit, and began treating Sebastian’s wounds. She went about the task very carefully, for fear of hurting him.They sat in close proximity to each other, their breaths mingling. Rosalie was purely trying to treat his wounds, but Sebastian kept his gaze locked on her.Rosalie fixed her eyes on the woun
