Chapter 203
Rose was probably furious with him.
Theodore was angry at himself for being unable to fulfill his promises to both her and Cynthia. He had made it clear that they wouldn’t be getting a divorce for the time being, yet now, things had taken such a drastic turn that he was on the verge of letting both of them down.
If he had to choose one of the two…
Theodore drove home, but didn’t find Rosalie there.
Anthony hadn’t seen Rosalie since this morning, and had no idea where she went either.
Theodore thought Rosalie might have gone to Rebecca’s, and gave his grandmother a call. She said that Rosalie wasn’t with her. Upon hearing that Rosalie was missing, she grew anxious and berated him.
Theodore didn’t want her worrying, and comforted her before heading off to search for Rosalie. He called multiple times, but her phone remained resolutely switched off.
Theodore was anxious and frustrated.
When Rosalie was trying to find him back then, his phone was switched off as well. He now understood what she felt when she couldn’t contact him no matter how hard she tried.
Suddenly, a person came to mind. His brows knitted.
After finding said person’s number, Theodore gave him a call.
Sebastian was still bleary from sleep when his phone rang, abruptly waking him up. He put his phone to his ear, and said hoarsely, “Hello

“It’s me,” Theodore greeted coldly.
The sound of Theodore’s voice jolted Sebastian up from the bed. Every bit of his drowsiness vanished. “It’s you. Why are you calling?”
“Do you know where Rose is?”
Sebastian furrowed his brows in disbelief. Theodore was actually calling him, clearly in an attempt to find Rosalie.
He was about to say that Rosalie was with him, but the thought that Theodore might make things difficult for Rosalie struck him.
So, he said, “Why would I know where your wife is? Don’t ask me if you yourself aren’t taking good care of her.”
“You’re in no position to tell me whether I’m taking good care of her
or not!” Theodore hissed, his voice laced with frustration.
“Then why are you calling me? Do you subconsciously think that Rose. prefers being with me than you?”
Sebastian’s voice was laced with pride, perhaps bolstered by his ego and competitive streak.
Fire burned in Theodore’s heart. However, thinking of his impending divorce with Rose, he knew there was no point in arguing with Sebastian. It would only make him look hypocritical. Thus, he decided
to keep quiet.
He was about to hang up when he heard the sound of someone knocking on a door.
“Sebastian, are you awake?”
Theodore heard the familiar voice, and his brows furrowed. He had heard that voice so many times, and was confident he didn’t hear it
wrongly.

“Carter! As I suspected, Rose is with you!”
Since Theodore had heard it, Sebastian decided to drop the facade. He said directly to the voice outside his door, “I’m awake. What’s the matter?”
“Nothing. I came to wake you up. I was worried you might end up unable to sleep at night if you napped for too long, and it might worsen your jet lag,” Rosalie said.
Getting awoken was more often than not a frustrating matter. However, Sebastian felt good, even happy, when Rosalie woke him up. The same thing done by a different person felt different indeed.
“Thank you. Please come in.”
“I don’t have anything else to say, so I won’t head in. Go ahead and wash up.”
Sebastian heard nothing more after that, and surmised that Rosalie had probably left.
Theodore remained silent over the phone for a long time before saying coldly, “When did she go?”
“Is the answer to your question very important to you? Aren’t you with Cynthia? Why hold on to such double standards?”
