Chapter 268
She thought to herself, ‘It’s okay, Rosalie. You’re just in love with a man. You don’t have to be with him even though you love him. Isn’t it enough that he’s happy?”
It was good enough for her. Despite the many unhappy things that happened in between, at the very least, they didn’t have a complete falling–out.
As much as Theodore did many nasty things before, he was eventually punished by Grandma.
It was tiring loving someone, but hating another was even more so. She wanted neither to love nor hate him.
Suddenly, Rosalie’s phone pinged. She reached over to pick up her phone, and switched it to silent mode.
It was a text from Sebastian.
‘Are you asleep yet?‘
Rosalie replied, ‘Not yet, I just went to bed. What’s up?”
Theodore opened his eyes to see Rosalie holding her phone, looking like chatting with someone. His eyes dimmed.
Who could be texting her at such an hour?
Sebastian texted, ‘Yvonne wants to add you on social media. She keeps asking me for your account.‘
Rosalie replied, ‘Why? What does she need it for?‘
Sebastian texted, ‘Nothing much. She just wants to add you as a friend, but I didn’t give it to her. I wanted to ask you first.‘

Rosalie thought about it before replying, ‘It’s fine. Just give her my account handle if she wants.”
It was clear Sebastian respected her opinion very much. He even insisted on asking for her permission when someone else wanted to add her on social media. He was really…
Rosalie snuck a peak at Theodore–his eyes were shut, seemingly asleep.
Forget it, she thought. It was better not to compare. Everyone was different–there was no need to compare anyone, otherwise she would be a snob.
Sebastian texted back, ‘Alright, then. I’ll give her your social media handle. But don’t be too bothered by her feelings. If she says anything that upsets you, just ignore her or tell me. I’ll teach that brat a lesson.”
Rosalie smiled. ‘Don’t worry. Yvonne’s a nice girl, she’s not malicious.”
Sebastian texted, ‘She’ll be smug if you praise her like this. Please don’t say that in front of her, or she’ll boast about it for days.‘
Rosalie replied, ‘Got it. But you really shouldn’t be so strict with your sister. It’s great to have a sibling. I wish I had a brother.”
Rosalie instinctively glanced at Theodore when she typed the word‘ brother‘.
She had a ‘brother‘ right now, didn’t she? Theodore wanted to be her brother.
However, she couldn’t bring herself to see her ex–husband as her brother. It just felt strange
Within seconds, Sebastian replied, ‘In that case, I have to treat Yvonne a little better. Rose, if you had a brother, I’m sure he’ll dote on you very much.‘

Rosalie texted, ‘I don’t know. I don’t have a brother and don’t know
what it feels like to have one. Theo said that he treats me as his sister and wants to be my brother, but I just don’t feel it.’
Sebastian asked, ‘Why not?‘
Rosalie replied, ‘I have no idea. I’ll just let him be and let him think. whatever he wants. Maybe it’s because our relationship will never change fundamentally, whether we’re married or siblings.”
Sebastian texted, ‘I don’t think you two can be siblings. That’s just hilarious. Lovers will always be lovers, and after a break–up, whatever talk of being siblings is just an excuse to downplay the mistake that was committed.‘
Sebastian then added, ‘I’m referring to the mistake HE committed, You didn’t do anything wrong, Rose.
Rosalie hesitated for a few seconds before replying, ‘Do you think it’s possible for love to eventually evolve into kinship?‘
