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.

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