Chapter 435
Theodore originally intended to quietly pick out a ring and leave, but now that he was blatantly provoked, he slammed the ring he was holding onto the glass counter.
“So, it’s Mr. Carter. What a coincidence.”
“Indeed. What a coincidence,” Sebastian replied coldly. “Mr. Spencer, who are you buying a ring for?”
Obviously, it was for Cynthia.
“What does it matter to you?” Theodore snapped icily.
Rosalie felt uncomfortable, and gently tugged at Sebastian’s sleeve. “I’m going to the restroom.”
Sebastian was worried, so he said, “I’ll go with you.” With that, he escorted Rosalie away.
Yvonne stood there, bewildered, still holding a ring in her hand. What was going on?
She approached Theodore, and asked, “Mr. Handsome, do you know my brother?”
“Your brother?” Theodore asked. “He’s your brother?”
Yvonne nodded. “Yes. What’s your relationship with him?”
“Since he’s your brother, didn’t he tell you who I am?”
Yvonne shook her head. “No. It’s my first time meeting you, but you look a bit familiar. You’ve been in the news, haven’t you?”
Theodore’s voice grew colder. “What’s your relationship with Rose?”
“I’m friends with her. Why are you suddenly mentioning her…?”
Suddenly, Yvonne’s eyes widened in realization, and she stared at Theodore in shock. “You’re not Rose’s awful ex-husband, are you?”
Theodore’s brow furrowed at the mention of “awful ex-husband.”
“Did Rose tell you that her ex-husband is awful?” he growled. Did she talk badly about him behind his back?
“She doesn’t need to tell me.”
At first, Yvonne was infatuated by how handsome he was, but when she realized that he was Rosalie’s awful ex-husband, her expression turned cold. “She doesn’t even want to talk about you, which means you must be awful. You made her so sad. You may be handsome, but my brother was right— what’s the use of being handsome if you’re just a scumbag?”
Theodore’s eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light.
Yvonne felt as though a cold wind just blew past her. Shivering in fear, she took a few steps back.
Theodore exuded an aura that frightened her deeply. But upon thinking that she should stand up for her friend, she gathered her courage and said, “Luckily, Rose has divorced you. Now, she…”
“Yvonne.” A reproachful voice interrupted. Sebastian walked over, and pulled Yvonne aside. “What did you tell him?”
His sister had a tendency to speak without a filter, so he was worried she might accidentally mention Rosalie’s pregnancy. “Seb! I was just standing up for Rose.”
“No need. Just ignore him.” Sebastian pulled Yvonne away.
Theodore didn’t follow them, but his expression remained ominously dark.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
When Rosalie came out of the restroom, she looked upset.
Sebastian and Yvonne quickly went to her. “Rose, are you alright?”
Rosalie nodded. “I’m fine.”
“I’ll take you back,” Sebastian said, knowing that encountering Theodore here was painful for her.
Rosalie smiled. “It’s fine. Let’s just buy the ring and not worry about others.”
By that, she meant Theodore.
“Yes, let’s not worry about others!”
Yvonne linked arms with Rosalie.
“This mall isn’t owned by that
et
scumbag, so why should we care if
he’s here or not? Let’s continue to shop. We shouldn’t let someone like him affect our mood!” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Rosalie nodded. “Okay.”
After that, the three continued shopping.
Yvonne was perceptive enough to notice that Sebastian wanted some alone time with Rosalie. She would just be a third wheel by staying here, so after some time, she told them she had something to do and would be leaving. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
After Yvonne left, Sebastian continued to accompany Rosalie to shop. He bought her a few items, including the ring.
Rosalie put the ring on her finger herself. Since it was a fake marriage, the ring was just a tool and meant nothing else. At least, that was how she viewed it.
Sebastian carried the other items for her, following her like a loyal dog.
“Seb, I want to go back to my place to pack up some things.”
“What do you need?” Sebastian asked. “I can buy it for you.”
“No need. I have everything. Buying more would be wasteful. I need to go back to my place to pack up and turn off the power before moving to your home for a while.”
Sebastian nodded. “Alright. I’ll take you back.”
They left the mall, but halfway there, Sebastian received a phone call. There was an urgent matter at the company, so he needed to go to the office right now. Despite that, he still took Rosalie back to her home first.
Rosalie urged him to leave and

attend to his work, saying she would wait for him to return after she finished packing up. Sebastian repeatedly reminded her not to dift anything heavy, and promised he would come back as soon as possible to help her. Content

After Rosalie entered her home, she looked at the ring on her finger and sighed.
It was fine. She wasn’t planning on marrying anyone else, anyway. Helping out a friend wasn’t a big deal.
After about ten minutes of packing, she suddenly heard the doorbell. She immediately put down what she was doing, and went to open the door.
“Seb, you’re back so soon…”
But when she opened the door and saw the man outside, she was stunned.
“Theo? What are you doing here?”
