Chapter 147
Howeber, Theodore never appeared.
Rosalie called Theodore, who said that he was on his way and would reach soon. But half an hour passed, then an hour, and he still hadn’t arrived.
It was way past the one hour they agreed on earlier.
There were many people queuing up ahead of her. If he didn’t rush here in time, the staff members of the office may end up knocking off.
When it was about four in the evening, Theodore was still nowhere to be found. Rosalie was furious about Theodore’s lack of proactivity even in filing for a divorce–which he asked for.
She was about to call Theodore when she received another call,
which looked to be from the police station.
She answered the call with doubts in her heart. “Hello.”
“What did you say? How did it happen?!” she exclaimed in shock.
“Okay, I got it.”
She hung up.
“What happened?” Sebastian asked.
Rosalie’s head started throbbing.
“Theodore was caught for drunk driving, and he’s at the police station right now. I need to bail him out.”
“Drunk driving?” Doubt flashed past the depths of Sebastian’s eyes. Rosalie, don’t panic. Which police station is it? I’ll bring you there.”
By the time Sebastian drove Rosalie to the police station that
Theodore was in, it was almost five in the evening.
Theodore was seated casually on the floor against the wall in the detention cell, one of his legs stretched before him while the other.
bent at the knee. He looked relaxed and carefree.
Rosalie walked to the door of the detention cell. “What happened to you?”
Theodore turned to see Rosalie, and forced a smile. “You’re here.”
He looked so comfortable right there, as if he were a repeat offender when this was the first time something like this happened to him.
“You…”
Rosalie was about to say something, when a policeman walked over.
“There are some forms we need you to fill, ma’am.”
Rosalie felt anger rise up her chest, but she had no choice but to leave with the policeman.
She filled in many forms, and even had to write a letter of guarantee and pay a penalty. After everything was done, it was 4.40 pm. The clerk’s office was set to close in twenty minutes.
Even if she managed to bail Theodore out and rush over to the office right now, they wouldn’t be able to make it in time.
As Theodore was a first–time offender and the alcohol level detected in him wasn’t high, he simply had to have his license suspended for three months. Rosalie was able to bail him out after paying the penalty.
When Theodore was sent to the main lobby of the police station, he saw Rosalie glaring at him.
Wounds were still visible on his face.

“What exactly is going on? Since you drank, you should have let the driver drive instead! Why did you drive the car yourself? Because of what you did, everything is delayed! How are we going to file for a divorce now?” she snapped.
For the first time, Rosalie saw that Theodore had failed to meet up to expectations. He was the president of SK Enterprise; he had always been a disciplined, timely and punctual man, careful in all things he did.
But why was he becoming less punctual, more sloppy and unreasonable recently?
“We’ll file for a divorce tomorrow afternoon instead.”
Rosalie scoffed at his suggestion. “Theodore, you…!”
Before she could complete her sentence, her phone rang. She glanced at it, and realized that her phone battery was running low. Rebecca was calling.
She knew why Rebecca was calling her. She almost didn’t dare to answer the call, but the fear that Rebecca might worry made her grit her teeth and answer the call anyway.
“Hey, Grandma.”
“Rose, are you sending someone over with the resident register?”
“Grandma, I was very busy today. Can I send the resident register over to you in person tomorrow?” Rosalie pleaded.
