Sebastian saw Rosalie's eyes dim; he wanted to say more, but his phone rang before he could speak.
His father was calling him to deal with that project again. Geoffrey wanted him to cright away, as the personnel involved were already waiting for him.
Sebastian didn't want to leave just yet. However, Rosalie, knowing the situation, urged him to attend to company affairs first.

Not long after his departure, she received a text. There were only two words in it: [I'm sorry.] It was from Theodore.
Rosalie furrowed her brows, doubtful. Why did he text her that for no apparent reason? She replied to him with three question marks.
Theodore texted back. [The day I took the incoming call, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just forgot about it. I'm sorry I upset you.] Rosalie shook her head, feeling helpless.
She was taken aback by Theodore's severely delayed reaction, what with his apology coming so belatedly. The last tshe questioned him about it, he was stubborn and self-righteous. Rosalie texted, [I almost couldn't be bothered to remember that until you mentioned it. It's over, forget about it.] Theodore texted the sthing again. [Sorry.] [Why did you apologize again? Haven't you already apologized?] Theodore explained, [The previous apology was for not telling you that I picked up your call. The second apology was for the many times I upset you. I even made you cry in the past.] Rosalie was stunned for a moment. Then, she replied, [Are you alright? Why are you suddenly apologizing tofor what happened in the past?] Theodore replied, [No particular reason. I just find myself to be a coward.] Rosalie rubbed her nose, wondering if the sun rose from the west today. What was going on with Theodore? [Did you get diagnosed with the final stage of cancer? Is that why you're texting everyone and wildly issuing apologies?] Theodore sent her an emoji of a rose. [Don't worry, I didn't. Thanks for your concern, though. I'll go for a health check-up tomorrow and send you the report.] Rosalie was completely lost as to what Theodore was trying to do. He was speaking English to her, but she found his behavior very odd-as if he was in a good mood.
[No need for that. Just as long as you're fit and healthy. Cynthia might get upset if she finds out that you sent your health report to your ex-wife,] she texted. Why in the world was he talking about his health report? Rosalie was puzzled.
Theodore texted back, [I've already made things clear to her that even though we're divorced, you're still a Spencer.] Seeing that, tears welled up in Rosalie's eyes.
Theodore really was a right bastard. How ridiculous of him to be saying such things even though they were already divorced! Although Rosalie didn't like Cynthia, she found him a bastard through and through for telling his future wife that he was still family with his ex-wife.

Rosalie didn't understand, and she refused to understand him. She didn't want a man who would slap her in the face and then give her a present as compensation. This time, she wouldn't fall for it again.
She didn't really care for being a Spencer. What's more, the fact that Theodore had to keep emphasizing ve that she was one proved that she really wasn't. If she really was a member of the family, he wouldn't need to emphasize it so much. No one needed to emphasize the fact that Theodore was a Spencer. It was an undisputed fact.
Rosalie, on the other hand, was but an outsider. If the Spencers accepted her, she wo e would be a member of the family: if they didn't, then she wouldn't be. Although Rebecca treated her well and doted on her like a real granddaughter, the fact that she wasn't blood- related to the Spencers remained true.
All the more she wasn't after the divorce! Feeling ruthless, Rosalie texted, [Mr. Spencer, please don't say such things in the future. I'm not a Spencer. You don't get a say in this.] What right did he have to make decisions for everything in her own life?! X
