Chapter 505
“That’s the problem!” Theodore grabbed her shoulders. “The fact that such a possibility even came to your mind! We’ve known each other for so many years, and this is how much you don’t trust me. Even after ten years, can’t you tell the kind of person I am?”
Cynthia did suggest to him to buy a heart from the black market, but he rejected that outright. He could very well have gotten his hands on a heart via illicit means, but he didn’t do so.
He was very upset that someone was wrongly accusing him of doing something that he himself despised and hated!
He could swallow it if Rosalie misunderstood him with regard to Sebastian. He did look like the prime suspect in other people’s eyes. Yet, how could she put the blame of other people’s death on him?
Theodore’s indignant expression made Rosalie conclude that she might have gone overboard in her speculation. On the other hand, she found it rather hilarious.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
“You said it yourself-we’ve known each other for ten years, but before, you misunderstood me too. You thought I was wicked, and misjudged my character over trivial things. You hurt me simply because of what Cynthia said. And now, you’re telling me so indignantly that we’ve known each other for ten years and getting angry at me for not trusting you. You didn’t trust me when shit hit the fan, either!”
Rosalie smiled sardonically.
“That’s why I’m very glad you suggested a divorce. It was right for us to divorce, because we no longer trust each other. Maybe I once trusted you unconditionally, but you’ve broken that trust. When you doubted me and blamed me for Cynthia’s sake, we were bound to be unable to go back to how things were.
“How could you pretend you’ve
never doubted or blamed me in the past? I remember every single time it happened, including the pain you caused me! You have no right to say things like how I don’t trust you despite us having known each other for ten years! You have no right to ask me to trust you, because you’ve never trusted me fully! You’re just getting a taste of your own medicine now and realizing how bitter it is.”

If Theodore remembered how many times he misunderstood and blamed her, he wouldn’t have said something like that.
He chose to selectively forget what
he did and pretend that it never
happened, then turned around to blame her for not trusting him
exemplifying a clear case of double standards on his part. Content

Theodore slowly released Rosalie’s shoulders as hopelessness seeped in. Tears welled up in his eyes; everything became a blurry mess, he couldn’t even see her clearly.
Excruciating pain shot through his chest, and every breath he took felt like a knife piercing through him.
He had it coming. He was the one who destroyed Rosalie’s trust in him. He had no right to ask her to trust him the moment he misunderstood her for Cynthia’s sake.
“Rose, tell me. You married Sebastian so soon after we divorced. Were you taking revenge on me? Or did you really fall in love with him?” he asked.
He would rather she married Sebastian to take revenge on him than to hear about her falling in love with Sebastian. How could her feelings change within such a short period of time?
