On the other end, Theodore realized that Rosalie had rejected his call.
Anger rose up in his chest as he called her again. However, an electronic voice replied to him.
"The number you've dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later." She was probably still busy.
Theodore put his phone aside, and waited patiently. After around ten minutes, he picked his phone up and called her again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sorry, the number you've dialed is unavailable at the moment..." He heard the selectronic voice again.
His face tensed up, and a bad feeling washing over him. He clicked open his WhatsApp, and typed Rosalie a text.
[Rose, you can tellwhatever's on your mind. Don't keep it to yourself. I'll help you solve whatever problem you have. We're family.] He re-read his text over and over again before finally sending it. However, he soon saw a red question mark right next to the text.
His mind buzzed, as if something had hit his head, registering the sudden shock. He looked stunned.
Theodore stared at the question mark, trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
Rose had...
Blocked him! So when he tried calling her just now, she wasn't engaged in another call; instead, she had blocked his calls too. Even if he tried calling her a hundred times, her number would still be engaged! Theodore's disbelief turned into shock, until anger finally rose in his chest.
Why did Rose block him? Was she crazy? To think he was worried something had happened to her. He never expected her to block him! Theodore stood up, grabbed his jacket, and left his office to find Rosalie and demand for answers from her.
But then, he suddenly realized he didn't know where she currently lived. Ever since she moved out, he didn't check where she lived. They frequently met outside, even after their divorce.
It was only until this point he realized they might never meet again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe even blocked him! She was trying to keep her distance forever! Theodore stopped in his tracks, took a deep breath, and told himself to calm down. Something must have happened to Rose...
No, she blocked him. What else could have happened?! Theodore immediately called Sydney. The moment she picked up the call, he demanded, "Mom, where is Rose?" "Why are you askingthat?" she replied.
"Do you know how she is right now? Is she still with you?" Sydney could sense the panic in Theodore's voice. "She's not withright now. She did chere today, but she went home. What's the matter?" "Something happened. Call her and ask her what she thinks of me." Sydney was utterly confused. "If you want to know what she thinks of you, why don't you ask her yourself?" "She..." Theodore sighed hopelessly. "She blocked me." Sydney laughed out loud.
Theodore's face darkened. "What are you laughing about? Is it very funny?" It was clearly an infuriating situation.
She was his mother. Her daughter-in-law blocked her own son. Yet she as the mother-in-law, was actually in the mood to laugh about it. Shouldn't she be feeling angry like him instead?! Theodore was still thinking of Rosalie as Sydney's daughter-in-law and of her as his wife. He instinctively thought that tel weren't divorced and still married.
Yet, the moment that thought cto mind, he realized Rosalie was in fact no longer his wife and Sydney's E daughter-in-law. "Pardon me," Sydney said as she ē
tried hard to stop laughing. "Although I sympathize very much with your find it hilarious. I'm sorry, 1 can't hold myself back. Hahaha! She blocked you! Hahaha..." X
