Chapter 229

“We’re friends,” Rosalie said. “He’s accompanying me to view apartments. Let’s go with this unit.”

Rosalie didn’t want to spend more time looking, and wanted to rent any unit that she found

acceptable. To her, all units looked around the same and were ultimately all built with steel rods and

concrete. As long as the space was tidy, clean and safe, she didn’t need it to be too huge since she

was living alone.

“Rose, are you sure? Don’t you want to see a few more units?”

Sebastian asked.

“No need,” Rosalie said. “This one will do.”

“All right, then.” Sebastian didn’t oppose her decision.

This apartment looked pretty safe. He would help Rosalie switch out the lock and install a security

system for her. No matter how safe an estate was, there was always a risk when a woman lived

alone.

The agent seldom came across such a decisive tenant who came to a decision at the first viewing

without even negotiating the price. She even signed the contract on the same day, and paid the

deposit and

rent.

According to the rental terms, Rosalie paid a deposit that was worth one month’s rent as well as

three months‘ rent in advance.

Rosalie had money in her own card, too. She had her own account as

Theodore’s wife, after all.

She would often use the money in her account to purchase funds, bonds and stocks. She was no

spendthrift, and the money in her

account grew with time.

After settling her rental apartment, Sebastian drove Rosalie back to

the house she once lived in.

Now that the divorce had been finalized, looking at the house again. gave Rosalie a different

perspective.

The house she had lived in for so long no longer belonged to her now. Even though it remained

under her name, it was nothing but steel rods and concrete to her. It was no longer home to her.

Rosalie told Sebastian not to step out of the car, and to wait for her inside, Sebastian agreed, not

wanting to cause her trouble.

Anthony saw Rosalie packing her things and leaving with a luggage. case, and hurriedly stepped

forward to ask, “Madam, where are you going?”

Rosalie gave him a bitter smile and replied, “Don’t call me Madam. I’m, no longer your mistress. I’ve

divorced Theodore, and I’m moving out.

“What? You’re moving out? But this is your home.”

“We’re divorced. This is no longer my home,” she said bitterly.

No one would be willing to leave their home unless they were forced

1. to.

Anthony said, “Madam, if you leave and if Master Theodore doesn’t come back either, this house

would be empty! There would be no

need for any of us to work here.”

Rosalie paused.

He was right. The servants of the house were still around. If she left, they would be out of jobs.

Despite that, she truly didn’t feel like staying here. She also couldn’t bring the servants to her rental

apartment and let them work there.

“Wait for a moment,” Rosalie said as she put down the handle of the luggage case. She pulled out

her phone, and called Theodore.

Very soon, she heard his cold voice coming from the other end of the phone.

“Hello.”

Rosalie felt slightly nervous hearing his voice, but she said anyway, “I thought about it, and decided

to move out anyway. Although the house is in my name, I don’t want to stay here for the time being.

You can continue staying here if you wish.”

“Are you sure you want to move out?” Theodore’s voice grew even colder. “What’s the point?”

“I’ve made up my mind,” Rosalie said. “If you don’t want to stay here and either, please take

Anthony and the rest of the servants to your Cynthia’s new place so they can take care of you two

exclusively. They’re experienced staff, and it’ll only be troublesome if you have to find a whole new

team.”

Theodore remained silent for over ten seconds.
