He was thinking about doing unspeakable things with her.
Theodore gave a faint smile. "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you smile like that in a long time. It's beautiful."
He wanted her.
"So you're saying that I'm ugly when I don't smile?" Rosalie asked, looking at him seriously.
Theodore quickly replied, "Of course not."
Even when she wasn't smiling, he wanted her underneath him.
Inside, he was burning with desire, but his face showed signs of panic. "Rose… What I meant was…"
"Alright." Rosalie smiled lightly. "I was just teasing you."
She wasn't sure what had come over her; she just wanted to joke with him. He was usually so serious and composed, and seeing him flustered was oddly amusing. It seemed she had figured out how to make him nervous.
"Why would you do that to me, Rose?" He looked at her with a hint of resentment.
"You've bullied me so many times, is it so wrong for me to tease you a bit?"
Rosalie said this in jest, but seeing Theodore's slightly changed expression, she realized some jokes should not be made.
He took her casual joke seriously.
Theodore lowered his gaze. "I'm sorry."
"My earlier comment was just a joke. The past is behind us. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here with you now."
Theodore looked at her with sorrowful eyes. "But you don't love me anymore, do you?"
"Mr. Spencer, long time no see."
Theodore forced a tight smile. "Sorry, I need to excuse myself."
He turned and left, his fingers trembling. He feared that if he stayed any longer, he might lose control.
The person who approached awkwardly held up a drink, trying to be friendly, but Theodore didn't give him a glance.
After Theodore left, Rosalie said with a smile, "Hi, please excuse him. He suddenly had to leave."
"Oh, I see. Mrs. Spencer, it seems like you and Mr. Spencer have a great relationship. You're truly a match made in heaven."
Rosalie forced a polite smile, masking her internal bitterness. "Thank you."
