Rosalie subconsciously stood in front of Sebastian, and looked warily at Theodore.

Cynthia smiled victoriously as she held Theodore's arm tight. She was shocked to see them there, but she refused to let it show. "It's you guys. I didn't expect to see you two here. It's a pity Theodore and I have reserved the entire restaurant." Cynthia spoke gently and politely, but there was something strange in her tone that was hard to pinpoint.

Rosalie wanted to barf at how pretentious Cynthia looked. "It's not a pity at all. This isn't the only restaurant around, and there are many more around the corner. Seb and I will be off, then." Rosalie held Sebastian's hand, and started walking out.

When they brushed past Theodore and Cynthia, Sebastian suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Rosalie turned around. "What's the matter, Seb?"

Sebastian's dark gaze landed on Theodore and Cynthia. He wrapped his arm around Rosalie's waist, and pulled her into his embrace. "Rose, aren't you going to introduce us? These two are..."

Cynthia knew about Sebastian, as Yerick had updated her about it. Sebastian's heart was supposed to be hers, but Rosalie that bitch refused to sign the agreement. She had thought Sebastian was doomed to die, and didn't expect him to survive the ordeal. "Seb, we'll talk when we're back." Rosalie didn't want to talk about things under such circumstances. She felt annoyed at the mere sight of Cynthia and Theodore.

Rosalie's hesitation made Sebastian nod, not wanting to make things difficult for her. "Okay."

The two of them made move to leave, but Theodore suddenly said, "I'm her ex-husband, Theodore Spencer. I heard you lost your memories, Mr. Carter. You don't look too well, either."

Sebastian could sense the animosity in Theodore's tone, but he said easily with a smile, "No wonder Rose divorced you. The look in your eyes isn't friendly at all. I'm recovering very well under Rose's care. We hardly spend time apart." The air was tense with animosity.

Rosalie felt ill at ease.

Cynthia felt uncomfortable as well. She could sense Theodore behaving aggressively toward Sebastian over Rosalie.

Hardly spent time apart?

Theodore scoffed. "That can't be for real. Don't you know that Rose..."

"Mr. Spencer," Rosalie cut him off, and glared at him with a warning look. "Aren't you and Ms. Zeller supposed to go for lunch? Hurry on. Seb and I are leaving."

"Yes, yes," Cynthia said with a smile. "Theo, let's not interrupt Rosalie and her husband. They look busy."

Cynthia didn't like Rosalie and Theodore seeing each other. It made her feel very uneasy. She was afraid that Theodore might go back on his word.

The air became tense once again, as if time had come to a standstill.

"Seb, let's go." Rosalie wanted to take Sebastian away from this place.

The look on Theodore's face turned cold. Suddenly, he said, "Wait. It must be fate that we bumped into each other here. Let's have lunch together. My treat."

Rosalie turned around, and said with furrowed brows, "No need. I don't want to bother you two."

"No such thing. Cindy and I have all the time in this world to spend with each other, but it's rare for the four of us to meet. Let's have a meal. Don't go anywhere else. The manager wouldn't need to feel bad canceling on you two, too," Theodore insisted.
