Chapter 143
Theodore looked silently at the woman on the floor. The darkness in his eyes faded as tears slid down her cheeks, and the final vestiges eventually gave way to guilt.
Cynthia was right. What wrong did she do? He was the one who told Cynthia that he wanted to marry her, and that he would file a divorce with Rose for her sake. Was he trying to blame Cynthia now for sleeping with him on the same bed?
What a joke!
Theodore had been filled with rage just moments earlier and wanted to vent it all on Cynthia, but he ended up like a deflated balloon with nothing more to say.
Since he fell asleep under the influence of the sleeping pill, he was naturally unable to do anything with Cynthia. However, it was a different issue from other people’s perspective.
Cynthia cried so hard her sobs gradually became hoarse, until she eventually went out of breath. She collapsed on the floor, and
clutched her chest in pain.
“Cynthia!”
Theodore sprinted forward, and hauled her up in his arms before putting her on the bed.
“Theodore, do you blame me? I just wanted you to have a good night’s rest. I didn’t mean anything malicious. It’s just sleeping pills.”
Cynthia wasn’t foolish enough to spike his coffee with other drugs, lest Theodore woke up and despised her for doing so. She only dared to add sleeping pills to it. She just didn’t expect Rosalie L

Thinking of that made her feel smug, when odore asked, “How did Rose see us lying on the bed together so coincidentally?”
Cynthia exclaimed indignantly, “Theodore, are you suspecting that I reached out to her?”
She immediately sat up on the bed, and said, “I didn’t! I switched my phone off like you did. I didn’t contact anyone else. I have no idea why Rosalie’s here. I really wasn’t the one, you can go check it out if you
don’t believe me.”
“Oh, yes,” Cynthia said as she suddenly thought of something, “The man with Rosalie is probably one of the staff members here. He’s probably the one who let her sneak in. Theodore, you have to believe mé! I really wasn’t the one.”
This was probably the first time Cynthia told the truth.
She was so glad to be able to spend exclusive couple time with Theodore, so why would she allow another person to interrupt them?
“Alright, that’s enough. Go get some rest.”
“Theodore, you trust me, don’t you?” Cynthia grabbed his hand tightly.
Theodore caressed her head, and assured her, “Don’t think too much.”
So what if he believed her, and so what if he didn’t? He was ultimately the one at fault for things turning out this way.
Cynthia wiped the tears away from her face.
“Rosalie said she doesn’t want to file for a divorce. It was so difficult for her to finally get her hands on your resident register, so you can’t miss this opportunity. I can sense that things are getting messier between you two. It’ll only get worse if you two don’t divorce.”
The issue remained on Cynthia’s mind. She knew Rosalie would never spare her.
Theodore pulled his hand away, and tucked her in. “Lie down and get some rest first. I’ll settle this.”
“Tell me, Theodore. How are you going to settle things? Will you file for a divorce today? She looks like she’s just going to drag things out. That will be detrimental to all three of us!”
What happened today was a double–edged sword to Cynthia. On one hand, she did cause Rosalie pain. O the other hand, Rosalie used this matter as an excuse to not file for a divorce.
What a pain in the neck!
Rosalie was such a wicked woman, taking advantage of any loophole that came by.
“That’s enough,” Theodore said, sounding frustrated. “I said that I’ll settle things and I will. Stay here and have a good rest.”
With that, he left the room.
Cynthia wanted to call out to him, but could only swallow her words. back upon seeing him leave without any hesitation.
