Theodore contemplated for a while before finally speaking, Have you taken Rose for a check-up? He was genuinely worried. If Sebastian could take her for an examination, that would be acceptable. Sebastian frowned slightly. Why are you asking this out of the blue?
Theodore said, Even though Rose and I are divorced, we’ve known each other for many years. We’re like brother and sister. I just want to check on my sister’s well-being.
Sebastian let out a cold snort. You think of her as a sister, but does she see you as a brother? You’re nothing but her ex-husband, and a lousy one at that.
Theodore’s expression turned cold. Sebastian, don’t get too smug. Do you really think Rose married you out of love?
Sebastian tightened his fists, which were resting on his knees. Do you think she loves you instead? If she did, she would have remarried you a long time ago. Why would she marry me? I may not have the right to be smug, but look in the mirror as well. Don’t act like you’re Rose’s brother. She couldn’t care less about you.
Theodore sneered, Sebastian, if it weren’t for Rose, I would have dealt with you a long time ago. The only reason you’ve been safe up until now is because she’s protecting you.
Sebastian stood up, adjusting his suit. He walked over to the window, and gazed at the bustling scene outside while saying, So, you’re saying that the attack I barely survived was all your doing?
Hearing Sebastian’s outright accusation, Theodore slammed the table and stood up. Can you provide any proof? If you can’t, don’t make baseless accusations.
So, you’re claiming innocence? Sebastian snorted. If that’s the case, why are you so agitated? Only those who feel guilty get worked up. Theodore strode over to stand behind Sebastian. He grabbed Sebastian’s shoulder, and spun him around. Are you provoking me on purpose? So, you’ve been provoked? Sebastian asked darkly. Even though I don’t remember a lot of things, including you, I still think you’re truly pathetic. Theodore squinted, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes. Sebastian, did you know that Rose has been begging me not to harm you?
He took out his phone, and showed Sebastian the messages Rosalie had sent him.
Did you see that? She asked me not
to bully you her eyes, I’m stronger than you, so`l can bully you at will. The reason I haven’t done anything is because I don’t need to pick on the weak. Another reason is because the woman I love said so.
Seeing the content on Theodore’s phone, Sebastian felt as if his heart was pierced by a thorn.
Did Rosalie really think that? That he was weaker than Theodore?
She had pleaded with her ex-husband not to bully her current husband. To Sebastian, this was a humiliation. He felt a deep sense of shame, his pride as a man brutally trampled.
Yet, Sebastian pretended to be indifferent. You’re just showing me a random message and saying it’s from Rose. Do you expect me to believe you? You underestimate me.
You don’t have to believe it, Theodore said as he put away his phone.
But you can ask her yourself. Though if you do, your relationship with her might suffer. I didn’t want to show this to you, and Rose didn’t want you to know either. But you’re just too insufferable, and unless you’re put in your place, you really think you’re the winner here.
You can go ahead and tell Rose. Once she finds out that I showed you the message, she’ll definitely come to me, and then I’ll have another chance to see her. So, the more you badmouth me, the better.
