Chapter 171

Rosalie's grip tightened over her phone, feeling miserable. Her heart. broke thinking about tears streaming down Rebecca's old, wrinkled. face.

She had been keeping Rebecca company all this while, but she didn't. even realize what Rebecca was feeling. And yet, Theodore did.

Perhaps she had misunderstood him all along. It wasn't that he didn't care about Grandma, he simply didn't show his concern as explicitly as she did. He had never been an expressive person. Her palms started sweating. "Are we going to just keep dragging things out?"

"I promise you that I'll keep my distance from Cindy."

Rosalie found that laughable. "Keep your distance? I can't just turn a blind eye to what you two have already done!"

"Nothing happened between us!"

"Don't bother explaining yourself. I saw it clearly with my own eyes."

The image of them in the resort made pain pulsate through Rosalie's heart.

"What you saw may not be the truth.""

"What's the truth, then?" Rosalie demanded. "Was it not true that your and Cynthia were locked in an embrace? Was it not true that you and her were lying on the same bed? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

She said it so flatly, as if emphasizing even a single word would exhaust her.
