Chapter 397



By the time Rosalie got home, it was already half-past one.

She had promised to call Sebastian to let him know she was safe, but she didn't feel like talking, so she sent him a text message instead.

[Seb, I'm home now. Don't worry.]

Sebastian replied, [Okay. I'm glad you're home.]

Rosalie sat on the sofa and started browsing the rentals that were available in for Hullbeck, the city she had chosen to stay. She would leave the day after tomorrow.

Tonight, she would accompany Sydney to meet Theodore, and tomorrow, she would spend the day with her grandmother. The day after that, she would leave.

Rosalie quietly planned out what she would do once she got there. She would buy some books to read during her pregnancy. After she gave birth, she would pursue her graduate studies.

Although she was divorced, Rosalie still thought that she was quite lucky. At least she didn't have to worry about money. She had shares in SK Enterprise and plenty of cash in her account.

She was a thrifty person. She never wasted food and water, didn't like luxury goods, and never bought things she didn't need. She had no idea how many lifetimes it would take to spend all her money.

Rosalie browsed through the rentals on her phone. She finally found a few promising options after a long search. Just as she was about to call to inquire, her phone rang.

Rosalie picked up the call. "Hello, Seb."
