Chapter 264 "Rosalie Young!" Theodore sat up on the bed. "Shon you! Taking my money to keep men by your side? The cheek of you to say that in front of me!" He glared at her as he rebuked her.
Rosalie covered her mouth, as if in shock. "Your...your money?" She put her hand down, and said haughtily, "So, Mr. Carter! Looks like. you see that money as yours, and have to ask you for permission before I can spend it. You still seeas an outsider! How could you claim to seeas your sister? You liar!" She turned her face away in feigned sorrow, pouting her lips and looking morose.
Theodore panicked when he saw the misery on her face.
"I didn't mean that," he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"So what exactly did you mean? You said that I took your money to keep men by my side! Since you see the money in my account as yours, you should just take them all back, lest you seeas a charity case." If Theodore really wanted all his money back, she would return them to him without any hesitation. She never wanted his money in the first place. He was the one who wanted to give it to her.
If he still saw that money as his and could interfere with how she spent it, what was the point of her keeping it? "I didn't mean that. That money's yours. I just don't think you should. spend it indiscriminately," Theodore said. +25 BONUS Contrary to his calm demeanor, he was a mess inside. He was now facing the consequences of his rash words spoken just moments ago.
"Since it's my money, why can't I spend it indiscriminately? Can't I find someone to entertain me?" Rosalie refuted him.
"Of course, you can," Theodore explained himself. "But you can't entertain yourself that way. Men are horrible creatures, and you'll be fooled by them. Don't you read the news? Many people end up getting scammed out of their entire fortunes. I'm just thinking for your sake, is all." Theodore's tone grew weaker and weaker as he spoke.
"Oh, is that so? Thinking for my sake?" Rosalie said with a smile. "Now that you've said so, I realized I have no words to counter that claim." Her bitter tone made Theodore anxious; he was worried that the more he spoke, the worse things might become. They were already divorced. He didn't have the right to stop her from finding other men.
"Rose, I'm not stopping you from finding other men. I'm just worried that you might get involved in a scam. How about this? When you find another man, bring him to me, and I'll check him out for you. What if you run into a scammer? I'm older than you by a few years. I've cacross many kinds of people. You've only just graduated uni, and you aren't as exposed to the world as I am." Theodore explained everything in a rush, for fear that she wouldn't believe him.
"I'm not as exposed? Do you mean to say that I'm still a child who knows nothing, and that I'm naive enough to get fooled by any man.
+25 BONUS that comes by?" Rosalie shot back.
If that were really the case, she had to admit that she was fooled- namely, by Theodore Spencer.
He was right. Men were horrible creatures, and that included himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was laughable how he, a horrible man himself, was teaching her not to be fooled by other horrible men.
Even more laughable was the fact that he, her ex-husband, requested that she bring her g her future bayfriends to him so he could check them out, as if he were her father. Rosalie had no words to describe how strange Theodore's words were.
"I'm not," Theodore said, unable to maintain his composure any longer. "I don't think you're a child. I'm just En: worried about you."
"What are you worried aboutfor?" Rosalie asked flatly. "We're no danger husband and wife. What do you have to worry about? You should be..." X
