Chapter 371
Theodore stood there unmoving, staring blankly at Rosalie. He almost forgot to breathe. The seconds felt like centuries to him.
His trembling lips moved slightly as he took a step toward her.
Seeing this, Sebastian moved to intervene and stop Theodore from getting closer to Rosalie. However, Yuvan forcefully stopped him and didn’t allow him to approach.
Sebastian clenched his fists; he was about to grab Yuvan’s collar and fling the latter aside, when Rosalie suddenly spoke up.
“None of you come any closer!”
Theodore stopped in his tracks abruptly, like a soldier instinctively obeying orders.
Rosalie slowly stood up from the ground. She felt dizzy but tried hard to suppress it, not showing any
discomfort.
She raised her head to speak to Sebastian. “Seb, I’m sorry, but I think I need to go back and rest,”
“I’ll send you home.” Sebastian took a step forward, but Yuvan blocked him again.
“Get out of my way!” Sebastian balled up his fist to punch him.
Although Yuvan felt a bit uneasy after seeing the look in Sebastian’s eyes, he had no choice but to follow! his boss’s orders.
Rosalie was afraid he would start a fight, so she said, “Seb, it’s okay. You don’t need to send me home. I’lly drive back by myself. I just want to be alone. And please take good care of Miss Yancey.”
“But…” Sebastian was really worried about her. “I…”
“Enough, Seb. I’ve made up my mind. Don’t make it hard for me.”
She knew Sebastian was a reasonable person, so she could talk it out with him.
Sebastian truly was reasonable, especially when it came to Rosalie; he always listened to her unconditionally.
“Okay. Remember to call me when you get home. I want to hear your voice and make sure you’re safe.” Rosalie nodded. She hadn’t brought anything with her when she came but her phone, which was in her pocket, so there was no need to go back to the private room now.
As she passed by Theodore, he wanted to reach out and stop her, but suddenly felt he had no right to do
SD.
“Rose,” he called out to her.
“Mr. Spencer, Rosalie said coldly. “Since you said you and your assistant came here to eat, then take your time dining. Unless you’re lying and stalking me, just as Sebastian said.”
Theodore appearing here was too much of a coincidence. Moreover, he showed no surprise when he saw her, as if he had already known in advance. He definitely did not bump into her.
She hated Theodore for it. They were already divorced, but he was still investigating her and making her feel like she was being monitored.

She was a free person now. Even if she loved him, he couldn’t investigate her behind her back. Moreover, she didn’t intend to continue loving him.
Theodore felt a bit flustered. Originally, he didn’t care about these things. He indeed followed her, and he didn’t mind admitting it.
But now, seeing Rosalie’s lonely eyes, he suddenly didn’t dare to admit it. He was afraid if he admitted that he came for her and followed her, she would be angry with him.
Ironically, she had always been angry with him.
Theodore didn’t want to add fuel to the fire anymore.
“You still haven’t told me what you’re hiding from me. Rose, while I don’t know what exactly it is, I definitely have the right to know. You can’t keep it from me.”
He vaguely sensed something, but he didn’t dare to confirm it. There seemed to be a thin film between them, fragile and uncertain. One stab could break it, but after it was broken, he didn’t know if what lay beyond was heaven or hell.
