Chapter 204
Theodore was tired of hearing about double standards, but he could find no words to refute Sebastian.
Indeed… On one hand, he was keeping Cynthia company. On the
other, he was annoyed by the fact that Rosalie was with another man.
He didn’t know why he felt this way, but he had fallen prey to every man’s tendency.
“Why are you looking for Rose? Do you need me to pass the phone to her?” Sebastian asked.
“No need,” Theodore said, a hint of ire in his voice. “Tell Rose that I’ll see her at the clerk’s office tomorrow at nine in the morning. I’ll bring our resident register along, and we’ll make our divorce official.”
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what he had just heard. He was about to say something, when Theodore hung up.
Sebastian knew they had been talking about a divorce since long ago, but it never happened due to various reasons.
Their talk of divorce was like the story of the boy who cried wolf. Sebastian had no idea when the wolf would really come, as much as he really wanted the wolf to come.
After washing up, Sebastian left his room.
Rosalie was busy arranging flowers. Their fragrance made her feel
much better.
Just then, the sound of footsteps made her turn her head. When she saw Sebastian, she shot him a warm smile that felt like a spring
breeze.

“You’re up.”
As Sebastian walked toward her, he towered over her like a huge. mountain, his shadow covering her entirely.
Compared to Theodore, however, his presence felt much warmer and less intimidating.
“Where did that brat go?” Sebastian asked.
Rosalie said, “She went out for some fun.”
Sebastian furrowed his brows in displeasure, his face icy. “That brat! How irresponsible of her to just run off for fun.”
Rosalie said with a smile, “She’s not irresponsible. She kept me company until I felt tired and went back to my room to rest. It’s fine. for her to head out for some fun. Don’t blame her.”
Sebastian suddenly sighed, a solemn look on his face.
Rosalie’s hand paused midair, a pair of scissors still in her grip. She looked up, and asked, “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“Something did happen, and it concerns you.”
“Me?” Rosalie put the scissors down. “What is it? Tell me.”
He looked so serious that it made Rosalie feel uneasy.
“Theodore called me just now. He’s looking for you.”
Rosalie froze, and stared at him in disbelief. After a long time, she snapped back to attention and forced a smile. “Is that so? To think that he called you.”
Her phone was switched off. She didn’t want anyone contacting her. Switching off all her electronic devices, reading and enjoying fresh air
outside, made her feel much better.

“Why did he call you?” she pressed,
Theodore called Sebastian while he was with Cynthia. The only explanation for that was that he was trying to find her to no avail, and eventually resorted to calling Sebastian.
Rosalie could guess why he was looking for her so urgently,
Her eyes told Sebastian that she had guessed the reason for Theodore’s call. And so, he cut straight to the chase,
“He told you to meet him at the clerk’s office tomorrow at nine in the morning. He wants a divorce.”
The air around them froze, and Rosalie hung her head low. She continued clipping the stems of the flowers and sticking them in the
vase.
Suddenly, she smiled and said, “I got it.”
The inevitable finally came.
They had been talking about a divorce for so long. This time, she had a strong feeling that they were really going through with the divorce with no further delays.
