“Yes. I’ve only just graduated, and I’ve just gotten a divorce, too,”
Rosalie said with a bitter smile. “I’m a rich woman now, and I have a
lot of money to spend even if I don’t do anything.”
Sebastian stuck his hands in his pocket. “Did Theodore give you something in compensation?”
Rosalie nodded. “Property and five percent of the company’s shares.”
Sebastian’s brows arched, seemingly in surprise. “That’s rather generous of him.”
As much as Sebastian hated Theodore, he had to admit that
Theodore was very generous this time. With five percent of the company’s shares, Rosalie could enjoy life without needing to lift a finger for the rest of her life.
“And so?” Sebastian asked further.
“So…” Rosalie thought about it, and chuckled. “I’m now a very rich woman with access to all this money without working hard for it. I’ve lucked out this time.”
Her smile was forced, as if someone was tugging at the sides of her face and making her smile. She clearly didn’t feel happy inside, despite the so–called smile on her face.
Sebastian said, “Since he gave you the money, keep it. You were once his wife, and you deserve this compensation. You can’t let him off so easily.”
Rosalie sighed.
“I intend to find a job. I should do something, or I would have gone to university in vain.”

Sebastian pondered for a moment before saying, “Did you consider coming to my company to work? I have a suitable opening right now relating to the field of finance. If…”
“Sebastian,” Rosalie cut him off, “thank you for the kind intention, but I don’t need it. I’ll settle this by myself.”
She needed neither Theodore’s help hor Sebastian’s help in this regard.
Sebastian had always respected Rosalie’s decision. Unless it was something detrimental to her, he would never oppose her.
He had to be a stark contrast to Theodore and make Rosalie find him different from that man.
“All right, then. Let me know if you need anything.”
Rosalie nodded in acknowledgement. “Sebastian, why don’t you accompany me to check out some apartments?”
“Sure. Are you going to buy a property?” Sebastian asked.
“No, I want to rent one. Now that I’ve divorced him, I want to move out.”
Although Theodore said that he would give her the house, it was a place she and him used to live. Now that their relationship had ended, the house that was once their home had become a reminder of her sorrow. She would rather move out.
It was time for her to live alone.
She should have done that a long time ago. Her marriage with Theodore in the last year was but an accident that shouldn’t have happened.
Now, things were finally back on track.

Rosalie wanted to find an apartment, and Sebastian didn’t interfere with her decision. He simply drove Rosalie to a real estate agency.
One of the agents brought them to view some units.
“This unit is nicely configured with two bedrooms and two living rooms. It’s well–ventilated, and beautifully renovated. There are two washrooms, one in the master bedroom and the other in the smaller bedroom which can be used as a guest room. It can also be used as a kids‘ room for your children in the future. If you find this unit too small, I have bigger ones which I can show you.”
The agent knew at one look that they were loaded, which was why he brought them to a more expensive apartment. Given the cost, the size of the apartment and the quality of its furnishings were naturally more superior.
Rosalie smiled awkwardly. “We are not husband and wife. You’ve misunderstood.”
“Oh, is that so?” The agent smiled apologetically. “Apologies, I thought you two were married to each other.”
