DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 32
Chapter 32
Theodore quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe Cynthia’s tears. “It’s okay. Don’t cry.”
Then, he looked up at Rosalie‘ and said, “Rose, Cindy feels guilty about our divorce. I asked you to come today, hoping you could personally clarify our agreement and assure her that the divorce isn’t her fault.”
Rosalie was speechless.
So, Theodore intended to have her personally assure his beloved Cynthia that she wasn’t a homewrecker. How ridiculous!
Rosalie almost laughed out loud. Was it acceptable for Theodore to humiliate his wife just to make Cynthia feel better? Maybe he didn’t see it as humiliation, but it certainly felt that way for Rosalie.
Rosalie was about to speak when Theodore’s secretary suddenly knocked on the door and announced, “Mr. Spencer, Mr. Jones urgently needs to have a video conference with you.”
Theodore stood up. “Connect it to the conference room computer. I’ll be right there.”
“Yes, sir.”
After the secretary left, Theodore turned to Cynthia and said tenderly, I have to go discuss matters with our partners. I’ll be back soon.”
Cynthia nodded. “Alright, go ahead.”
Theodore approached Rosalie and said, “Rose, make sure you and Cindy have a clear conversation. Don’t let her misunderstand, okay?”
Rosalie remained expressionless, unable to shed any more tears. Staring into her hollow eyes, Theodore suddenly felt uneasy, and a
pang of discomfort shot through him.
He lowered his voice as he added, “Take care of Cindy. I’ll be back
soon.
With that, he left the office.
Rosalie clenched her fists as she remained in place. Take care of Cynthia? Theodore was ridiculous. Cynthia was an adult, not a child in need of her care. Just how much did Theodore care about Cynthia?!
After Theodore left, Cynthia looked at Rosalie and her gaze fell on the crystal bracelet on her wrist.
“That’s a nice bracelet. Did Theo give it to you?”
Rosalie instinctively gripped the crystal bracelet on her left wrist. After Theodore gave it to her, he had received a call from Cynthia and left abruptly. Rosalie had been annoyed at the time, so she had taken. off the bracelet. When she left home today, she remembered the bracelet and inexplicably returned to put it on.
She had thought she would be having lunch with her husband, but now she realized how ridiculous she was being. He had casually bought her a gift, didn’t even think much of it, and even forgot her birthday. Yet, she foolishly held onto the bracelet dearly.
At Rosalie’s silence, Cynthia continued, “When Theo asked me, I suggested getting you a crystal bracelet. You have fair skin, so it should look good on you.”
Rosalie looked at Cynthia in disbelief.
Seeing her shocked expression, Cynthia smiled.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like this bracelet? Sorry. When Theo asked me, I just gave him one suggestion without offering any other options. for him to choose from. He just went along with my suggestion. It’s all my fault if you don’t like it.”

Cynthia seemed to be acting confidently, as if she were already Theodore’s legal wife and Rosalie was a nobody. Theodore had given Rosalie the bracelet, yet Cynthia didn’t show any anger. Instead, she was full of mockery.
Seeing Rosalie’s expression, Cynthia knew she had won.
Rosalie suddenly felt like a clown. Her so–called husband had given her a gift based on another woman’s suggestion, and she had been foolishly touched by it. Today, wearing the bracelet, Rosalie had

Rosalie wanted to remove the bracelet immediately. But if she did so now, it would only show her dismay and make Cynthia laugh at her. So, she could only bear the pain and continue wearing it.
“Is that so? Thank you, Ms. Zeller. You were right. This bracelet suits my fair skin.” Rosalie lightly touched the smooth crystal bracelet. When Theo put it on me himself, he mentioned how it complimented my beauty.”
Rosalie wasn’t trying to be jealous or competitive. She just didn’t want to become a laughingstock in Cynthia’s eyes.
