Rosalie scoffed. "In that case, why did youe looking for me? Who are you trying to show care for? Aren''t you afraid that she''ll roll over in her grave?"
As always, Cynthia was alwaysing in between them.
Bitter pain billowed in Theodore''s eyes as he stared at the woman before him. He remained silent, but his eyes spoke of an intense mix ofplicated emotions.
"Didn''t you make me choose?" Theodore pinched her chin, and went on, "I''m making myself clear now. I choose you. As for Cynthia, you don''t need to care about her. I''ll bear all the consequences, because everything''s my fault!”
Rosalie shut her eyes in pain. "Theo, it''s toote. Making your choice now...it''s all toote!"
Sorrow spread from her heart to her head, and she couldn''t help but sob bitterly.
"Don''t cry."
Seeing her bursting into tears made Theodore anxious. He hurriedly wiped her tears away, but they kept flowing.
"Why would it be toote? Are you still angry over what I said before? I didn''t mean them. Cindy''s on the verge of death. At that time, I had no other choice. Take it that I was a bastard and just hate me. It''s better than crying over me."
"And now you have a choice? Why didn''t you not have a choice before? Now you can make the choice of picking me? Doesn''t that make me sad too?" Rosalie asked in between sobs. "Aren''t you just being fickle? Even if you chose me today, how would I know if you''d end up choosing Cindy tomorrow? Or some other woman altogether?"
His ever-changing stance scared her.
"I won''t! As long as you remarry me, I promise you, I''ll never do that again! As long as you give me a sliver of hope and make me believe that you love me, I won''t do it again!"
"You''re out of your mind! You really are!"
Rosalie was rendered almost speechless by him. She didn''t know what else to say aside from calling him crazy.
"I am out of my mind!" He
confessed, just like a madman. “I
was set on marrying Cindy and fulfilling her dying wish, but I had catch you choosing rings with Sebastian! Are you marrying him? I won''t allow that! I want you to marry me again! I can''t stand idly by watching you be with him!"
Not just Sebastian, he wouldn''t be able to stand seeing her marry any other man!
"Rose, do you know?"N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Theodore cupped her cheeks in his hands and looked morosely at her.
"Even though we''re divorced, I was happy I could still see you around. But when you started distancing yourself from me and getting closer to Sebastian, to the point of blocking me and even choosing rings with him...
"I started panicking, Rose. I feel you slipping through my fingers and out of my life. That was when I realized how foolish I had been. I chose to divorce you in a fit of anger.
"When I requested for a divorce back then, I asked you if you saw me as a brother. I got so furious when you said yes. I was thinking, if you denied it and said that you love me, I would definitely have hugged you tight and apologized for even raising divorce."
"Saying I''d divorce you was a sort of test. I was testing if you loved me or not. I was a fool to even test you like that! It caused us to really get divorced in the end.
"I thought you wanted to divorce me
a long time ago. I thought you might be very happy after divorcing me. I feared you might think of yourself as a child bride of the Spencer family, and only married me to repay our kindness. You''ve always been considerate of others. You keep everything to yourself and short change yourself. That was why I presumptuously made that decision.
"I was wrong. After the divorce, I realized I couldn''t stand it. I could stand not having you around, I couldn''t stand seeing you with other men. How could other men have you? You''re my woman, and I''m going to make things right! Just take it that I''ve really gone mad!"
He had lost his mind, and was throwing caution to the wind. In fact, he was rambling incoherently.
But he knew one thing he would bear all responsibility, even if it meant breaking his promise to Cynthia again!
