    Meanwhile, Rosalie had settled down in her new apartment.


    She was only staying here for the time being while she took things a step at a time. The priority was


    to find a ce to stay, after all.


    At her agreement, Sebastian installed a security password lock along with anti–theft features.


    If no palm print was registered during a specified period of time after entering the door, it would


    sound off an rm that was also


    connected to the police station, which was just five minutes away.


    ‘Sebastian, thank you so much. I don’t know how else to thank you,” she said.


    Sebastian had helped her so much, and took care of so many things for her.


    “Don’t mention it. You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”


    Although it was clear between them that they were good friends, Sebastian felt that Rose didn’t feel


    as at ease with himpared to being with Stephanie.


    That was naturally so, since she had known Stephanie for a very long time. In his case, he and


    Rosalie had only known each other for less. than a month. Still, the progress they had seen in their


    rtionship was more than good enough for him.


    Rosalie was about to propose a treat when a phone call interrupted her. “Pardon me, I need to take


    a call.”


    Sebastian nodded.


    Rosalie pulled out her phone from her pocket, and saw that it was a


    call from Reba. She immediately answered it. “Hello, Grandma.”


    The call ended after a while. Rosalie put her phone back into her pocket and said to Sebastian,


    “That was Grandma, calling me for dinner at her ce tonight. I should also tell her about my


    divorce with Theodore.”


    Neither she nor Theodore told Reba about their divorce before they went ahead to get one, and


    she felt guilt–stricken over that.


    “All right,” Sebastian said. He raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch. “I have


    something to attend to in the office, anyway. If you’re heading to your grandmother’s for dinner


    tonight, promise me you’ll take a nap. I feel like you didn’t sleep wellst night. Your eyes are rather


    bloodshot.”


    Rosalie nodded. She did feel a little tired.


    After sending Sebastian off, she sat on the couch and exhaled. Shel was so exhausted, sheid on


    the couch and pulled the covers over herself. She stared nkly at the ceiling until she dozed off.


    That night, Rosalie arrived at Reba’s house.


    Reba, who had no clue about the divorce, smiled brightly at Rosalie upon seeing her.


    “Rose, you’re here! I was worried sick about you. I called Theo just now and he said he didn’t know


    where you went, and I scolded him for N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    that.”


    “Grandma, I went to my friend’s house to hang out and my phone went out of battery. That’s why he


    couldn’t contact me,” Rosalie exined.


    “Which friend is it?” Reba asked.


    “Um…” Rosalie pondered for a moment. “She came here before when Theo and I got married,


    although she didn’t talk to you at that time. Her name’s Stephanie.”


    “Oh, Stephanie.” Reba felt relieved upon hearing a feminine name.


    Rosalie felt bad lying to Grandma again.


    “Rose, what do you want for dinner tonight? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it.”


    “Grandma, I have something to tell you.” Rosalie gently held Reba’s arm as she helped thetter


    onto the couch.


    Reba smiled. “No hurry, we can talk after dinner. First, tell me if anything interesting happened


    recently.”


    Rosalie sensed that Reba must have suspected something, which is why she kept avoiding the


    topic. She was a smart woman, capable, of seeing through another with one nce.
