Theodore ignored her refusal and said, “When you called me, I was indeed in the bathroom withCindy.”

“Stop talking, I won’t listen!” Rosalie covered her ears. “I don’t want to hear what you did for her inthere!”

Theodore grabbed her hand and forcibly pulled it away from her ears. Why won’t you listen? Whatdo you think I did with her?”

“You know very well what you did,” Rosalie said angrily.

Theodore suddenly chuckled. “Rose, do you finally understand how it feels?”

Rosalie was puzzled. “What are you talking about?”

“Last night, at the hospital, you blamed me for not listening to your explanation, but now you’re alsounwilling to listen to mine.”

Rosalie froze. She was indeed unwilling to listen to his explanation, but did he need to explainanything between him and Cynthia?

“That’s different!” Rosalie protested.

“How is it different? You only heard that I was with her in the bathroom, but you don’t want to hearwhy I was in there. Just like last night, I only heard that you splashed water on Cindy, but didn’tlisten to your explanation. Rose, you can’t deny that, in this situation, both of us acted irrationally,”Theodore countered.

Now, he finally understood how Rosalie had felt last night. He hadn’t wanted to listen to her, eventhough she wanted to explain to him.

Now, he found himself in the same situation. Was this a kind of

retribution? He hadn’t expected it to come so soon. Being

misunderstood and unable to explain oneself was a terrible feeling.

For a moment, Rosalie didn’t know what to say. It seemed like this man had trapped her in adilemma.

“Rose, it’s not what you think. I just helped her into the bathroom, that’s all. I quickly came out.Yuvan told me you called, so I came home,” Theodore explained.

From the moment she heard that Theodore and Cynthia were in the bathroom together, Rosalie’semotions had been tense, not wanting to know what they were doing in there but unable to stop herimagination from painting vivid pictures.

Now, hearing the man’s explanation, she finally relaxed, but felt event sadder. Her nose tingled astears welled up, and she suddenly felt incredibly upset, realizing that she still had such strongfeelings for this man standing in front of her.

She had felt jealousy and envy, and after hearing his explanation, had even felt joy.

“Don’t cry.” Theodore said, lifting his hand to wipe away her tears. You were sick last night andhaven’t fully recovered. Please don’t get worse. Either wear more clothes or lie down in bed.”

Hearing his gentle voice, Rosalie couldn’t control herself anymore and hugged him tightly.

“Theodore, what should I do?”

He looked down at the woman in his arms, feeling a bit lost. “What’s wrong?”

“You always tell me that we’re not divorced yet, but whenever I get close to another man, you getangry. Have you ever thought about my feelings? When you’re with Cynthia, have you everconsidered that we’re still married? Do you know how I felt hearing from Yuvan that

you and Cynthia were in the bathroom together?”

Rosalie lifted her head, tears welling in her eyes, filled with resentment and grievance. Feeling apang in his heart, Theodore gently patted the back of her head.

The bitterness in his voice was palpable as he asked, “Were you jealous? Didn’t you say you’d hadenough of me a long time ago?”

“Stop bringing up the past! I said those words without thinking! Do you have to hold a grudgeforever? If you insist on holding grudges, then how many grudges do I have to hold against you andCynthia?” Rosalie exclaimed.
