"You said that you wanted to call Rose, you silly," Sydney said, not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing Theodore right now both made her heart ache and gave her the urge to laugh out loud. He had it coming, really.

"Oh, yes. I wanted to call Rose." Theodore suddenly laughed, his pale and haggard but still handsome face suddenly filling with hope.

This time, he dialed the right number and finally called Rosalie. However, all he heard was the sound of the automated voice over the phone.

"Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable. Please try again later..."

He suddenly smiled bitterly and helplessly.

"I remember it now," he said. "Rose divorced me. She's no longer my wife."

He felt as though he had woken up from a dream, and realized a fact that he didn't want to realize.

Theodore was stunned with disbelief.

Sydney reminded him exasperatedly, "Silly boy, you have to be clear about the facts. Rose didn't divorce you. You divorced her, did you forget that? You were the one who insisted on the divorce."
