Chapter 271
Theodore stared at her quietly. His gaze was intense, as if he wanted to skin her alive.
Rosalie felt very uncomfortable to be stared at like that. She
pretended to be unbothered as she lay down on the sofa and put her phone aside.
She closed her eyes, but still felt a pair of eyes boring into her. She opened her eyes, and found that Theodore was indeed staring at her.
Feeling uneasy, she turned her back against him, but she could still feel his gaze searing into her back. A chill ran down her spine.
She closed her eyes tightly, and suddenly sat up. Then, she whipped her head around and glared at Theodore.
“Why are you staring at me?” she demanded.
“Why aren’t you chatting with him anymore?” Theodore asked coldly his tone somewhat sullen.
“Do you want me to keep chatting with him?” Rosalie rebuked.
“Why are you asking me if you should chat with him? We’re divorced, aren’t we?”
If one listened carefully, Theodore sounded quite jealous.
“Who asked you?” Rosalie pouted. “Stop staring at me! What’s wrong if I chat with him?”
“Nothing’s wrong,” Theodore replied indifferently. “I didn’t say anything.”
Even though he said nothing, Rosalie felt bothered. She didn’t know if she was overthinking it, or if Theodore’s gaze was indeed off.

She realized that this man could easily affect her emotions. Regardless if she said something or kept quiet, she couldn’t feel at
ease.
Just then, her phone screen lit up again. She picked up the phone, and
saw’a new text.
‘I’m Yvonne,‘ it said.
Rosalie immediately clicked on it.
As soon as she did, Yvonne sent her another message.
‘I’ve been asking my brother for your number, and he wouldn’t give it to me for so long! He’s so annoying! I told him you wouldn’t mind, but he didn’t believe me. That bastard!’
Yvonne sent an angry emoji.
Rosalie smiled and replied, ‘Don’t talk about your brother like that. He’s just being careful.‘
‘I think he’s just being petty. He just didn’t want to give it to me.‘
‘Well, he gave it to you now, didn’t he? Don’t be angry. I’d love to have a brother like that. He probably loves you a lot.”
Yvonne sent Rosalie a cheeky emoji. ‘Then you can have him. He can be your brother from now on.‘
Rosalie sent an eye–rolling emoji. ‘It’s fine. He’s your brother. How could you give him to me?‘
“I totally can, and I’d be happy to! Oh, my brother just messaged me saying you’re about to sleep. Am I disturbing you?‘
‘No, you’re not, but I am about to sleep.‘
‘Alright then, goodnight. We can text each other tomorrow. Have a good rest!‘

‘You should go to bed early, too. Staying up late is bad for your skin,‘ Rosalie texted.
‘I got it, lil sis,‘ Yvonne replied.
‘Lil sis?‘
‘Yeah! Didn’t you say you wanted my brother? You get a sister by
default, then. I’m a bit older than you, so I can be your big sister.‘
Rosalie shook her head helplessly, and replied, ‘You’re really bold to call me your little sister.”
‘Why not? Life’s too short not to be bold!”
‘I think you’re just trying to take advantage of me. I haven’t agreed yet.”
‘So, will you agree?‘
‘We’ll see how you do.‘
‘Just you wait! I’ll make sure to do my best.”
Rosalie sent Yvonne a rose emoji.
