Chapter 85

After neatly folding the clothes in her hands and placing them on her lap, Rosalie said, “No need.

You can do whatever you want with it. I don’t want it.”

It was better to clarify things. She didn’t want the boundaries between. them to remain unclear.

Frowning, Theodore withdrew his hand. “You don’t want this bracelet. just because you think Cindy

asked me to buy it. Let me make it clear. to you. I bought this bracelet on my own. Cindy didn’t

know about it at first. She just happened to see it and asked about it, saying it would. suit you well. I

didn’t buy it because she suggested it.”

Rosalie paused slightly, thinking about what Cynthia had said. previously, which was completely

opposite to what Theodore was saying now. She felt it was ridiculous how easily she had been

influenced by Cynthia’s words, perhaps because she was already so disappointed in Theodore.

“She even saw the gift you bought for me, huh? It seems like you two are really close. She seems

to know everything about you,” Rosalie

said.

Theodore seemed somewhat annoyed. “Rose, I’m trying to have a proper conversation with you.”

“I’m also trying to have a proper conversation with you. Since you’ve made it clear that you bought

this on your own and not because of Cynthia’s suggestion, then can I also honestly tell you what

that. woman said? She told me clearly that you asked her what to buy and she suggested getting a

crystal bracelet. You two are saying completely different things. Who should I believe?”

ΠΑ

Of course, she believed Theodore. She knew Theodore had no reason

to lie to her. But didn’t Cynthia try to manipulate Rosalie because she saw this crystal bracelet?

Theodore’s expression immediately changed. “You’ve misunderstood Cindy’s words. She just said

she saw this bracelet and thought it looked nice and suitable for you. Rose, don’t slander her just

because you’re jealous.”

Rosalie smiled. “Did I misunderstand? Unfortunately for you, I’m quite educated. I would know very

well if had misunderstood her words. I know exactly what she meant.”

“I asked her about it. She clearly said she saw this bracelet and just complimented it, saying it

suited you. Rose, stop accusing her just because you’re jealous,” Theodore retorted.

Theodore’s statement that Rosalie was accusing Cynthia was the last straw. She stood up and set

down the clothes in her hands.

“You believe whatever she tells you, but you don’t believe me? Do you think I’m lying?”

“I didn’t mean that,” said Theodore, trying to remain calm, “What I meant was that you

misunderstood her. It’s normal for words to be ambiguous in that situation.”

“I didn’t misunderstand her.”

Rosalie didn’t want to argue with Theodore, but today she insisted on being stubborn and wanted to

clear things up.

“I understood perfectly what she said. She clearly told me that you didn’t know what to get me, and

she suggested you buy a crystal. bracelet. It’s such a simple thing. I’m not a little kid. How could I

misunderstand?”

“So, you’re saying Cindy deliberately lied and tried to cause trouble?”

Theodore’s patience seemed to be wearing thin. Cynthia seemed to

be someone he wouldn’t let anyone speak badly of, nor would he allow anyone to tarnish her

image.

“That’s right, that’s what I’m saying. She’s trying to cause trouble.”

“You’re being ridiculous! She wouldn’t do such a thing. I’m already divorcing you. Why would she

say such things over a bracelet? She’s not that petty!”

Seeing this man unconditionally believing Cynthia, Rosalie felt powerless. She was almost numb.

She couldn’t laugh, nor cry anymore.

“Yeah, I’m the petty one.”

“I didn’t say that. Don’t overthink it.”
