Chapter 32

Theodore quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe Cynthia’s tears. “It’s okay. Don’t cry.”

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.

Theodore stood up. “Connect it to the conference room computer. I’ll be right there.”

“Yes, sir.”

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

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?!
