Seeing the hurt and frustration in Theodore’s eyes, Rosalie was momentarily confused. For a second, she wondered if she had misunderstood Theodore.
He looked so innocent, even desperate-like the despair she had felt when Theodore misunderstood her before. Back then, no matter how much she insisted on the truth, Theodore wouldn’t believe her. He only believed Cynthia, because she knew how to play the victim.
But very quickly, Rosalie grew angry at herself for even entertaining such a thought. Theodore had lied to her too many times.
And after all, the one involved here was Cynthia, someone who could play the victim so well.
How could she think of Sebastian that way?
I believe you, Rosalie said calmly.
Theodore was taken aback when he heard those three words. A flicker of disbelief flashed in his eyes as he stared at her, trying to find even a trace of trust in her gaze. Alas, what he heard was nothing more than an illusion.
In Rosalie’s eyes, he saw only endless sarcasm and coldness. Though she had said, I believe you, those three words hurt more than if she had told him she didn’t believe him.
Sebastian frowned, a hint of unease in his eyes. Did Rosalie truly believe Theodore?
It seemed Theodore was the only one who recognized the sarcasm in her voice.
Rosalie continued, Of course you’ve done nothing wrong, Theo. It’s always someone else’s fault. You’re always right, and everyone in this world should believe you.
Rosalie then took Sebastian’s arm. Seb, let’s go.
Theodore clenched his fists. Rosalie, I keep the promises I make to you. I didn’t hurt him.
That’s right, you didn’t, Rosalie said angrily. How could someone as great as you, Mr. Spencer, hurt others? You’ve never argued with him or laid a hand on him.
She laughed sarcastically. You’re truly ridiculous. At least you used to have the guts to admit what you did. Now, you can’t even do that. You’re nothing but a coward!
That’s right, I’m a coward!
Theodore almost shouted. If I weren’t a coward, I would’ve done everything to get you back. I wouldn’t care whether you were willing or not. If I weren’t a coward, do you think Sebastian could still be standing here unharmed? Your current husband is really something. I know you believe him. You trust whatever he says, including me pushing him to the ground. Even if he said I wanted to kill him, you’d believe it!
Rosalie snorted coldly. Who should I believe if not him? And does it matter if believe you? As long as Cynthia believes you, that’s enough. Aren’t you two getting married the day after tomorrow? Don’t you find your current pitiful act disgusting?
Even if Theodore didn’t find it disgusting, Rosalie certainly did.
Theodore wanted to marry another woman, but he was still hung up on his ex-wife and kept acting heartbroken. Who was he trying to fool?
Seeing the heavy disdain in Rosalie’s
eyes, Theodore felt his heart shattering into pieces and falling to the ground. He was so devastated that he didn’t even feel the pain anymore, only despair.
A sly glint flashed in Sebastian’s eyes as he curled his lips into a smug smile. When he looked at Theodore, he arched his eyebrows triumphantly.
Theodore’s gaze was sharp as a sword as he stared back. This man really knew how to put on an act!
When Rosalie turned to look at Sebastian, his expression immediately changed to one of pity.
