Chapter 217
Rosalie sneered, “Do you think this is fair to Cynthia? She’s waiting in the hospital, hoping you’ll divorce me. You promise her every time, but you keep breaking your word. Have you ever thought about how she feels? How can you be with her if you don’t divorce me?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything with Cindy,” Theodore said nonchalantly, adjusting his sleeve. “Even if I don’t divorce you, I can still have a wedding with Cindy. As for you and me, our marriage is just in name only. You can stay alone, while Cindy and I go on with our lives.”
“Theodore, you’re despicable,” Sebastian seethed, his anger boiling over. “You’re hurting both Rose and Cynthia. You’re a real bastard!”
“Yes, I’m a bastard!” Theodore’s eyes were cold, and he let out a mocking laugh. “Things are already this way, so what’s the worst that can happen now?”
He straightened up, his voice turning icy. “Rosalie, since you don’t want to come back with me, stay here. Don’t bother going to the clerk’s office tomorrow. We’ll just drag this out. It won’t stop me from enjoying myself.”
Theodore pulled open the car door, and he got in without starting the engine, as if he were waiting.
Rosalie’s legs went weak, and she sank to the ground in agony. She felt like she was on the edge of a volcano. Theodore’s despicable behavior continuously shattered her perception of him. She never imagined he could go this far.
It was laughable–she had once believed he had some good in him. Now, it was clear that whatever good she saw was completely overshadowed by his current actions.

“Rose,” Sebastian said, stepping forward to support her as she struggled to stand, his concern evident. “Let me help you back to rest. Don’t worry about what Theodore says. He’s just trying to threaten you.”
Rosalie still clung to the iron gate, knowing full well that Theodore was using the threat of not divorcing her to force her to go back with him. She truly had enough of this marriage.
She couldn’t bear the thought of continuing like this, and she was especially worried about the baby she was carrying. The doctor had repeatedly stressed the importance of her taking good care of herself –but with everything happening recently, her health was at risk. If they didn’t divorce soon and more stress affected her, it might harm the baby.
No, she had to get divorced tomorrow, no matter what it took!
She had enough of Theodore using his status as her husband to hurt her without remorse!
Theodore seemed to lose patience. He started the engine and drove off. Rosalie panicked and quickly pressed a button next to the iron gate. As the gate opened, she ran out.
Sebastian chased after her. “Rose!”
“Theodore, wait! Stop right there!” Rosalie shouted.
The car hadn’t gone far, and came to a halt at her call.
Rosalie stopped, clutching her stomach, and turned to Sebastian. “I’ll go with him tomorrow to get the divorce. I’m leaving now.”
“Rose, are you sure you want to go with him? I’m worried about you.”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. It will all be over tomorrow. Thank you for everything. We’ll stay in touch.”
