Rosalie said again, “Is that fine?”
After a long time, Theodore finally replied to her.
“Got it. I’ll make arrangements for them. Just leave if you wish to.”
Theodore sounded as though he couldn’t be bothered with her, and hung up after saying so.
Rosalie sighed, and turned to Anthony.
“I’ve spoken to Theo. After he moves to his new place, he’ll make arrangements for you and the team. When that time comes, you’ll have a new madam to serve. Clean up this place before you leave, and just shut the door behind you when you do.”
Perhaps she might return some day, or perhaps that might never happen. No matter how grand a house is, it loses its meaning and purpose if no one lives in it.
Before heading downstairs, Anthony stepped forward and took
Rosalie’s luggage case from her. “Madam, let me help you with that.”
Rosalie thought of her baby in her womb, and the fact that she should be careful and nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”
Anthony followed Rosalie downstairs with the luggage case in hand. As they descended, he said, “It’s a pity how things turned out between you and Master Spencer. I thought you two were the most blessed couple in the world. I never expected things to turn out this way.”
Rosalie forced a smile. “It’s all over now. All good things come to an end in this world.”
“But I think that shouldn’t be the case for you two,” Anthony said as

he suddenly came to a halt when they arrived downstairs. “Madam, pardon me for being direct, but I think there must be a misunderstanding between you and Master Spencer. Things might not have turned out this way had you two talked things through.”
Rosalie had always been mild–mannered and kind toward others, which was what drove Anthony to blurt out his deepest–most thoughts. If it had been anyone else, he would never say what he just said.
Rosalie took her luggage case from him. “Things between him and I cannot be resolved just by talking things through. All right, Anthony, I’m heading off now. Thank you for taking care of me over the past year. Goodbye.”
Rosalie turned to leave, her retreating figure looking forlorn.
Anthony sighed. From what he could see, Theodore clearly cared very much for Rosalie. How did things turn out this way?
Theodore stood at the door. of Cynthia’s ward, his phone still in his hand. After a moment’s pause, he opened the door to the ward and walked in.
Upon seeing Theodore arrive, Cynthia said agitatedly, “Theo, you’re here!”
Her pale face was ashen, and the sight alone was enough to break one’s heart. Her eyes were glistening. When she saw Theodore, she looked like on the verge of tears.
Theodore walked over to her, grabbed a chair, and sat by the bedside. “Cindy, how do you feel?”
“Pretty fine. How about you?”
Cynthia knew Theodore was getting a divorce today, and she had
been waiting with her heart in her throat. She didn’t even have the appetite to eat.
Theodore stared silently at the expectant look on her face. After a long while, he pulled out the divorce certificate and the annulled wedding certificate from his jacket and placed it on the table.

Cynthia immediately grabbed the documents and flipped through them to find the stamp of annulment. The burden weighing on her heart finally lifted. She sighed, a glad look on her face.
“Theo, you’re divorced and finally free,” she said as she shed tears of agitation. She grabbed Theodore’s hand, and sobbed, “From now on, we can be together openly. No one can tear us apart, and no one has the right to scorn us.”
The day she had been waiting for had finally arrived. That woman finally divorced Theodore! It was truly wonderful.
