Chapter 182

"So, you're not angry at me?" Theodore asked, seeking reassurance.

"For now," Rosalie replied.

Who knew what might happen later? She couldn't promise the future, but at least for now, she wasn't angry with him.

Compared to smooth talkers who would run away at the first sign of danger, she preferred to forgive a man like Theodore. He might annoy her at times, but when it mattered, he stepped up and was willing to risk his life to protect her.

Theodore smiled contentedly, and planted a kiss on her cheek. “Thank you for not being angry at me.”

"It's nothing. Now go to sleep."

Theodore nodded faintly; just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID.

Rosalie saw the bright display showing the name "Cindy".
