Chapter 287
Wife
Rosalie scooped a bowl of oats for herself and started eating. She clearly looked distracted, as if there was something on her mind.
Theodore sensed something amiss with her. âWhatâs the matter?â
Rosalie shook her head. âIâm fine. Letâs have breakfast.â
After they finished their breakfast in silence, Rosalie changed Theodoreâs bandages. His wounds looked better than they did
yesterday.
âWhy donât you get some rest? Iâll head off first. I think you donât need me here to take care of you any longer,â she said.
She had been overly worried yesterday, but now that she thought about it, she seemed to have been worried about nothing.
There were many people around to take care of him. What was there for her to worry about?
Whatâs more, she had slept with him on the same bed last night. If went on, it would only make the entire situation absurd. They were divorced, so they should behave like it,

âYou donât want to be with me?â Theodore said hoarsely.
Rosalie said flatly, âWeâre already divorced. Itâs better for us to keep our distance. Keep what happened last night to yourself, or there
might be misunderstandings.â
âWhat misunderstandings? We slept on the same bed. Whatâs there to misunderstand?â Theodore shot back, displeased.
She should have been willing to get close to him. Otherwise, she wouldnât have slept with him last night.
Rosalie sighed.
âNow that weâre divorced, I can tell you this clearly. You should dedicate more of your time and energy to Cynthia. Youâll only be happy if you focus your attention on one woman. You canât think of one woman while being with another. That will only make everyone involved unhappy.â
She smiled, her face showing absolutely no signs of anger or sorrow. She was clearly at peace, as if she had let go of everything.
Theodore furrowed his brows as sorrow flashed past his eyes..
âDespite everything that has happened, thank you for what you said to Grandma. Itâs too bad she beat you up for it. Iâll be off now. Iâll come over if thereâs anything urgent, but if thereâs nothing else, I think we should behave like any other divorced couple. Otherwise, people might think weâre still entangled with each other,â Rosalie finished.
