SWNOVELS Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Even though Rosalie knew she couldn’t get worked up, how could she control herself in a situation like this?
Seeing Rosalie’s trembling fists, Theodore suddenly felt like he had been doused in cold water. He had almost forgotten that she was sick!
He quickly held her hand and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll stop. Please don’t be angry.
The sudden apology made Rosalie pause for a moment. But indeed, he seemed to have calmed down. Her tight grip on the blanket slowly relaxed.
Rosalie noticed Stephanie lingering at the door, so she said, “Steph, come over here.”
Truth be told, Stephanie was a bit afraid of Theodore. This man had a natural aura of intimidation, and wherever he went, it felt like the Grim Reaper was passing by.
As a small fry herself, she naturally felt crushed by this influential man. But thinking about her best friend being tormented by him made. Stephanie angry, so she straightened her posture and shot him a dirty look.
Stephanie walked over to Rosalie’s side, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, “Your car’s clean now.”
Rosalie gave her a grateful look. “Thank you.”
Having left the driver’s seat covered in blood, Rosalie had asked Stephanie to handle it to avoid being discovered.
Theodore frowned. “What’s with the whispering? Can’t I listen to
what’s going on?”
Fortunately, Stephanie was a woman. If it had been a man leaning in to whisper in his wife’s ear, he definitely wouldn’t have taken it lying down.
“You can’t,” Rosalie said sarcastically. “Why would a grown man like you listen to a conversation between women?”
Theodore was extremely frustrated, but couldn’t argue back. He could only sit and sulk.
“Hey.” Theodore looked at Stephanie coldly. “You can leave now. I’ll stay here.”
Though slightly dissatisfied with Theodore’s attitude, meeting his icy gaze had Stephanie swallowing her words, not daring to retort. But thankfully, Rosalie had her back.
“Theodore, you’re not allowed to talk to my friend like that. It was late at night, and she was sleeping at home, but she came just because I called her. Speaking to her like that is the same as doing it to me!”
“…”
Theodore‘ frustration grew. Rosalie was always polite and gentle to everyone, but he wasn’t like that. He was only gentle with those he
cared about.
“Theodore, you owe Steph an apology. If you don’t apologize, you can leave now,” Rosalie said sternly, like a parent scolding a rude child.
Theodore was intimidated by her sternness and dared not retort. The mighty CEO of SK Enterprise, a wealthy and powerful figure, was actually being controlled by a woman.
With someone backing her up, Stephanie felt triumphant.
She sarcastically said, “Oh dear, Rose, forget it. How can Mr. Spencer
apologize to a commoner like me? I couldn’t handle the
consequences.”
“If you can’t handle it, then just leave!” Theodore snapped impatiently.
It was one thing for Rosalie to be sarcastic with him, but Stephanie? Who did she think she was? How dare she do such a thing to him!
“Theodore, you should leave. I don’t want to see you!” Rosalie forcefully pulled her hand out of his grip. “Go!”
Rosalie was infuriated by this man. If things continued like this, she felt like her pregnancy would be at risk again.
Rosalie prayed for her unborn child to bear with the situation, vowing to send Theodore away and not let him return! He was really too much. After knowing him for so many years, she couldn’t believe he was this childish.
How could she have fallen for such a childish man? She prayed that her child would never be as foolish as her.
