"This is someone else's wedding! What does it have to do with you? People might think you have something going on with the bride, with the way you're defending her!" Hearing Rosalie's words, Theodore chuckled. "Are you jealous? Because I'm defending another woman." "Why would I be jealous?" Rosalie sighed, exasperated. "I just think your behavior is over the top. We were just supposed to attend the wedding and leave. Now you've caused such a scene. Grandma's going to be furious when she finds out!" "I wanted to cause a scene. They shouldn't get married because I know that man is no good." Every word Theodore spoke was deadly serious.

Theodore's breath, heavy with alcohol, washed over her as he whispered in her ear, "If they get married, I know that woman will end up heartbroken, just like you. I hurt you, so I had to do something." Theodore closed his eyes and rested his forehead on her shoulder. "I really wanted to do something." Rosalie's eyes lost focus as she stared blankly ahead. "What's the point of this? Ruining their wedding doesn't benefit you. We can't go back to what we were." "Rose." Theodore's voice was soft. "Not everything in this world is done for a benefit. Sometimes, you do it because you want to or because you should. Sure, I ruined their wedding today, but it's better than that woman finding out much later that her man is a liar."

It seemed like he had a point, but...
"Rose, if you had known from the start that we would end up like this, would you still have married me?" Theodore let go of her wrist, and cupped her face.
"You should be able to answer that, right?" Rosalie stared at him blankly for a long tbefore replying softly, "I wouldn't." If she had known it would cto this, she would have never married him.

between us. What you did-was it necessary? What if that man hadn't done anything wrong? Then all this would be just you causing trouble for nothing. If word gets out, what would people think?"
"You're my ex wife. Why are you concerned about my reputation?" Theodore pressed his hands on her ve frail, shoulders, scrutinizing her. "Anyway, I was right, wasn't I? He did do something wrong. I could tell by looking into his eyes." Rosalie suddenly remembered something. "When the bride was questioning the groom, you told her to check his call logs. What did you mean? How could you be so sure?" "Because earlier, I overheard the
groom making a secret call. It was obviously to a woman. I heard him say that night was a mistake, that it е happened because he was under too much pressure from the wedding preparations. He told her not to mention it," he said, Ashburn X
