Chapter 213
“An eye–opener, huh? There’s still plenty for you to learn in this world,” Theodore muttered angrily. “Tell Rose I’m waiting downstairs for her. My patience is wearing thin, and I don’t mind making a scene.”
Without waiting for a response, Theodore hung up the phone.
Sebastian gritted his teeth in frustration, his eyes flashing with icy fury. Theodore was behaving in such an unreasonable manner. There must be something wrong with his brain!
Theodore was already here, and Sebastian couldn’t keep it from
Rosalie. She had the right to know.
What Rosalie hated the most was being lied to. Theodore had already deceived her enough, and Sebastian couldn’t deceive her like
Theodore did.
Meanwhile, Rosalie was in a daze and half–asleep. When she heard Sebastian mention Theodore’s arrival, all her drowsiness vanished and she sat up abruptly in bed.
She opened the door to find Sebastian standing outside.
“Rose, stay in your room. I’ll go down and send him away,” Sebastian said, clarifying that he didn’t intend for Rosalie to leave with Theodore. Rosalie clutched her clothes tightly. She didn’t want to see Theodore now. Just hearing his name made her instinctively recoil and feel unbearable pain in her heart.
She hadn’t expected Theodore to show up here late at night.
Was he out of his mind? They were getting divorced tomorrow, so

what was the point?
Knowing Rosalie didn’t want to see Theodore, Sebastian headed downstairs to send him away. If Theodore insisted on causing
trouble, Sebastian didn’t care. He was itching for a fight.
If Rosalie gave the word, he’d happily take on Theodore- consequences be damned!
Before Sebastian reached the door, Rosalie hurriedly caught up with him.
“Sebastian,” ahe called out to him.
Sebastian turned back. “Rose, why did you come down? Go back to your room. I’ll handle this.”
“No, I have to handle this. It’s between me and Theodore. I don’t want to bother you.”
“Rose, it’s not a bother. You don’t have to worry. I’ll…”
“Sebastian,” Rosalie interrupted him. “If you consider me a friend, then listen to me. You go inside first, and I’ll handle this with Theodore.”
If Sebastian and Theodore met, they would surely argue; maybe even come to blows. After thinking it over, Rosalie decided it was best for her to go alone. As long as they weren’t divorced yet, she couldn’t avoid Theodore.
Rosalie’s eyes showed urgency. Though she wasn’t crying, they glistened like tears, evoking a painful heartache in Sebastian’s chest.
Sebastian sighed and nodded. “Alright. If anything seems wrong, call me right away.”
Rosalie nodded back, and gently nudged Sebastian. “Go in, okay?” Sebastian stepped back. He stood at the door, but did

Rosalie walked towards the front gate.
A black sports car was parked outside. Theodore stepped out, his tall figure exuding an aura of coldness in the dark night.
He strode towards Rosalie, his voice chilly as he said, “Open the gate.”
“What do you want?” Rosalie tried to remain calm.
“I’m taking you home,” Theodore replied with a stormy look.
“I’m sorry, I don’t want to go back. It’s late, and it’s inappropriate for you to be here. Please go back on your own,” Rosalie said, trying to maintain a polite tone.
