Wife

Chapter 227 

Sebastian had in fact arrived a long time ago, and was observing the situation from afar. 

His heart was in his throat, worried that they wouldn’t be able to get divorced today. 

Upon seeing them enter the clerk’s office and exit with some documents in hand, he knew that the divorce proceedings had gone. through. 

At that moment, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. 

Every single person in this world has their own selfish desires, and no one was an exception to that. 

Sebastian saw them talking and didn’t go over to interrupt them. Seeing that things seemed to be going south, he immediately drove 

over. 

Theodore’s face was tense to begin with, but Sebastian’s arrival made things worse, like a thunderbolt flashing across a dark sky. 

Rosalie hurriedly struggled free from Theodore’s hold and walked toward the front passenger seat. She opened the door, stepped in, and said, “Away from here, as far as possible.” 

All she wanted right now was to be free of Theodore. She didn’t care. 

where she went. 

Sebastian immediately wound up the window and drove off. 

Theodore stood stunned, rooted to the spot. A gust of wind blew past, making for a forlorn scène. He stared at the car driving further and further away in a daze.

It dawned upon him that his hands were empty–as if something that was once there was gone, leaving nothing behind. 

Back in the car, Rosalie sat in silence for a long time. 

Sebastian didn’t disturb her, and drove on in silence. He didn’t know where Rosalie wanted to go, so he simply drove on and eventually came to a quiet road where he continued driving forward. 

He drove on until he stopped at a cement road. 

There was a beach on their right, the sea stretching endlessly before them. Waves crashed upon the shore, gently caressing the golden sand. 

Sebastian stepped out of the car and walked toward the passenger seat, opening the door. “Rose, come on out for a walk.” 

He knew that she was probably in a terrible mood, having lost a man she had loved for so many years. Despite the fact that Theodore had, hurt her countless times, it wasn’t likely that she could just let things. go after the divorce. 

The more she tried to hide her feelings, the more miserable she must be feeling inside. 

Sebastian would rather she cry it all but. 

Rosalie remained silent for a moment before unbuckling her seatbelt and stepping out of the car. She followed Sebastian to the beach. 

The two of them walked along the coast, enjoying the gentle sea breeze. 

Rosalie suddenly stopped walking and shut her eyes, taking a deep breath. “Sebastian, thank you.”

Sebastian smiled. “Don’t mention it.” 

He pulled out a phone from his pocket. “You left this at my place last night. I’ve charged it for you.” 

Rosalie took it and put it in her pocket. This time, she didn’t thank him and instead stared at the sea, which looked like an endless stretch of blue. The vast expanse made her feel much better. 

“I suddenly realized that I am like an ornament, after all.” 

Sebastian furrowed his brows. “Why do you say that?” 

“I told Theo I was busy with something, and he didn’t believe me. He thinks I’m someone who doesn’t have anything to attend to. I initially felt angry hearing him say that. Does he think I’m some useless bum? But now that I think about it, that seems to be the case. 

“Grandma brought me home when I was eleven, and she’s been taking care of me and teaching me since then. I married Theodore before I graduated from university. Until now, I seem to have 

accomplished nothing. I did go through an internship for a period of time, but it wasn’t for long.” 

She was just like Cinderella, who gained a chance to be a princess by luck. 

“How could you think that of yourself?” Sebastian said. “If that really were the case, all university graduates would be ornaments too. You’ve only just graduated.”
