Theodore''s grip tightened with each passing second, but slowly, he started to release his grip over her shoulders.


    "Do you really want me to cut off all ties with her?"


    "This isn''t a matter of what I want. I simply raised a condition. Whether you can do it depends entirely on you," Rosalie said.


    She knew Theodore would never be able to do it, which is why she said it in the first ce. She did it to shut him up. She would never tell him her true feelings and what she was hiding from him.


    So what if she told him all that? He would still turn around and look for Cynthia, and she would once again be reduced to a pitiful worm without any secrets to herself.


    Theodore looked intently at the woman right before him. His lips neared her cheeks and his hot breath caressed her skin, and he said hoarsely, "If I cut off all ties with her, will you be with me again?"


    Rosalie gripped the hem of her shirt tight. She felt rather nervous, and turned her face away to avoid the hot air he was breathing at her.


    "Don''t bluff me and don''t ask me such a meaningless question."


    "Why do you find it meaningless? Isn''t your condition for me to cut off all ties with Cynthia? Let me ask you, then. If I promise to do that, will you remarry me?"N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    The seriousness in Theodore''s tone made Rosalie''s heart leap. She turned around and stared at him.


    What kind of response was that? She thought he would reject her immediately!


    How could he possibly leave Cynthia? He wouldn''t even entertain that possibility.


    However, he looked as though he was considering that option.


    What exactly was going through Theodore''s mind? Was he confused? Did he want her to remarry him, or to humiliate her?


    Rosalie grit herteeth, and said, "You haven''t even answered my question, and you''re asking me one. We''ll never arrive at a conclusion by going around in circles like this. Let''s?ust not answer each other and let me


    out


    Rosalie shoved him hard, but Theodore remained unmoving.


    She started to re up. "What


    exactly do you want? Theodore Spencer, you''re really annoying! When is going to get to your head that we''re divorced? Stop doing all these meaningless things! We cannot possibly be siblings or friends after we''re divorced!"


    “Since you''ve asked me to cut ties with Cynthia, I''ll answer you right now." Theodore said, pinching her chin to lift her head up so he can look straight into her eyes. "No."


    Rosalie''s mind buzzed, as though something had hit her. She had clearly expected this to be his.


    ??????


    answer to her request, but when she heard the answer from him personally, something in her broke.


    After a short moment of stunned silence, Rosalie smiled and said, "Okay."


    Telling him to abandon Cynthia was equivalent to asking him to take his own life. She knew that he truly loved Cynthia.


    When given a choice, he would always choose Cynthia. There had never been an exception to this rule, not even once! "Do you have nothing else to say?" Theodore snarled.


    He was imploding from within upon hearing her emotionless acknowledgement, and he could feel his heart bleeding inside.


    He would rather she called him a bastard than to see her so calm.


    As if he were nothing but a stranger.
