Every time he brought this up, it hurt Rosalie. She didn’t mean what she said back then. She loved


    him to death, so how could she have had enough of him?


    “If you don’t like me, why keep a grudge? You don’t have to get jealous when I’m with Cindy,” he


    said.


    “Why aren’t you happy when I’m with Sebastian, then? If you think you can be with other women


    just because I don’t like you, then I should be able to do the same, right? Fine! I’ll go see Sebastian


    now! And there are plenty of men on the streets I can find! I’ll look for one right now!” she retorted.


    “Rosalie!” Theodore suddenly grabbed her shoulder, his voice. somewhat angry, “Don’t you dare


    say such things again, got it?”


    Staring at his angry face, Rosalie was somewhat surprised. Her heart pounded heavily in her chest,


    but she quickly said defiantly, “Why not? You’re always like this, having double standards!”


    “It’s not about double standards. You’re a girl! Safetyes first. How can you go looking for


    random men everywhere? What if something happens to you?”


    “Huh, random men? Why would you say that?” Rosalie said sarcastically. “Of course I’ll find pretty


    boys who’ll treat me nicely and let me boss them around. I’m sure they’ll do whatever I say.”


    “Shut up!” Theodore’s face turned dark and scary.


    He swept Rosalie into his arms, strode to the bed, and put her down. Then, he wrapped her tightly


    with the nket and pressed down on her. Through the nket, Rosalie could feel his hot breath.


    “I won’t allow you to talk nonsense like this again. Pretty boys? Even if we divorce, you don’t need


    to degrade yourself like this!”


    Theodore seemed genuinely angry. His fiery appearance startled Rosalie.


    On second thought, why should she be scared of him? She had nothing to feel guilty about!


    “You’re so strange. Why is it that when I look for other men, it’s considered degrading? Don’t you


    want me to find someone else? Don’t you have Cynthia?”


    Theodore went silent. Suddenly, he didn’t know how to respond.


    No matter whom Rosalie found, even if it was Sebastian, he would


    feel like she was degrading herself. He felt ufortable deep down. just thinking about it.


    He thought about how, after their divorce, Rosalie would have plenty. of choices. Just the thought of


    her being with Sebastian made him uneasy. Surely, there would be many others vying for her


    attention.


    A hint of annoyance washed over him. He got up, leaning against the headboard in resignation. He


    was the one who proposed divorce, so what did it matter if she found someone else?


    It was true. He was being hypocritical.


    He wasn’t sure what was happening to him. Maybe after knowing her for a decade, he truly


    regarded her as a sister. So, he had a protective. big brother mentality, finding fault in every man.


    It was more like a fatherly attitude than a brotherly one.


    Rosalie sat up in bed. “Since you have nothing to say, next time, don’t. be hypocritical. If you can


    flirt with Cynthia, then I can also do it with other men. Unless…”


    “Unless what?” Theodore turned to her, curious

    “Unless you keep your distance from Cynthia At least until we’re divorced, we’re still technically


    married. As long as that’s the case, neither of us should get too close to the opposite sex


    Rosalie was tired She didn’t want to argue with Theodore about this anymore


    Theodore fell silent and didn’t answer her His face showed a hint of weariness as he undid a few


    buttons on his shirt and asked, “Why did you call me today?”


    “Nothing much I was just wondering why you came backst night” At one point, she thought it was


    all a dream
