Chapter 232

Meanwhile, Rosalie had settled down in her new apartment.

She was only staying here for the time being while she took things a step at a time. The priority was

to find a place to stay, after all.

At her agreement, Sebastian installed a security password lock along with anti–theft features.

If no palm print was registered during a specified period of time after entering the door, it would

sound off an alarm that was also

connected to the police station, which was just five minutes away.

‘Sebastian, thank you so much. I don’t know how else to thank you,” she said.

Sebastian had helped her so much, and took care of so many things for her.

“Don’t mention it. You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”

Although it was clear between them that they were good friends, Sebastian felt that Rose didn’t feel

as at ease with him compared to being with Stephanie.

That was naturally so, since she had known Stephanie for a very long time. In his case, he and

Rosalie had only known each other for less. than a month. Still, the progress they had seen in their

relationship was more than good enough for him.

Rosalie was about to propose a treat when a phone call interrupted her. “Pardon me, I need to take

a call.”

Sebastian nodded.

Rosalie pulled out her phone from her pocket, and saw that it was a

call from Rebecca. She immediately answered it. “Hello, Grandma.”

The call ended after a while. Rosalie put her phone back into her pocket and said to Sebastian,

“That was Grandma, calling me for dinner at her place tonight. I should also tell her about my

divorce with Theodore.”

Neither she nor Theodore told Rebecca about their divorce before they went ahead to get one, and

she felt guilt–stricken over that.

“All right,” Sebastian said. He raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch. “I have

something to attend to in the office, anyway. If you’re heading to your grandmother’s for dinner

tonight, promise me you’ll take a nap. I feel like you didn’t sleep well last night. Your eyes are rather

bloodshot.”

Rosalie nodded. She did feel a little tired.

After sending Sebastian off, she sat on the couch and exhaled. Shel was so exhausted, she laid on

the couch and pulled the covers over herself. She stared blankly at the ceiling until she dozed off.

That night, Rosalie arrived at Rebecca’s house.

Rebecca, who had no clue about the divorce, smiled brightly at Rosalie upon seeing her.

“Rose, you’re here! I was worried sick about you. I called Theo just now and he said he didn’t know

where you went, and I scolded him for

that.”

“Grandma, I went to my friend’s house to hang out and my phone went out of battery. That’s why he

couldn’t contact me,” Rosalie explained.

“Which friend is it?” Rebecca asked.

“Um…” Rosalie pondered for a moment. “She came here before when Theo and I got married,

although she didn’t talk to you at that time. Her name’s Stephanie.”

“Oh, Stephanie.” Rebecca felt relieved upon hearing a feminine name.

Rosalie felt bad lying to Grandma again.

“Rose, what do you want for dinner tonight? I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare it.”

“Grandma, I have something to tell you.” Rosalie gently held Rebecca’s arm as she helped the latter

onto the couch.

Rebecca smiled. “No hurry, we can talk after dinner. First, tell me if anything interesting happened

recently.”

Rosalie sensed that Rebecca must have suspected something, which is why she kept avoiding the

topic. She was a smart woman, capable, of seeing through another with one glance.
