Rosalind naturally knew who he was referring to.
“No, if I always ask him to come to Easthaven Bay to pick me up, he will get angry.”
As soon as she spoke, Rosalind could clearly feel the man’s mood plummet.
His eyes were like sharp ice blades, making her heart tremble and bleed…
Suddenly, Ulric raised his hand.
Rosalind instinctively flinched, only to realize he was just reaching for a cigarette in his pocket. He lit it and took a quick drag.
It seemed that only this could help him maintain his usual indifferent expression.
Because of his cleanliness obsession, he had never smoked inside the house before, not even once.
She knew that Ulric must be struggling to contain his emotions at this moment. He was afraid of doing something impulsive and being disliked by her.
“Ulric, you just got out of the hospital. Don’t smoke.”
Rosalind raised her hand to snatch the cigarette away, but Ulric avoided her, just as he usually kept his distance from other women.
However, he eventually stopped smoking, extinguished the cigarette, and took a few steps back. “Go pack your things. I’m sorry for losing my temper earlier.”
With a low and indifferent remark, their relationship reverted to that of boss and assistant.
Rosalind felt a tightness in her chest, her whole body numb and in pain as if struck by a heavy blow.
She had been favored by him for so long that she had forgotten Ulric was a man of pride, a dream partner for countless women, someone meant to be admired.
So long that…
She had forgotten Ulric was a distant and cold CEO.
“Okay.”
Rosalind responded softly and went inside.
She thought Ulric would leave. Given his current attitude, she even wondered if tomorrow’s wedding might be canceled and they would go straight to get a divorce certificate.
But when she finished packing and returned to the entrance, she found Ulric still standing there.
“Why… why haven’t you left?”
“He didn’t come to pick you up, and it’s hard to get a cab here. I’ll take you.” He was still considerate, but his tone was no longer warm and gentle.
Rosalind instantly understood how Sirena must have felt when facing Ulric.
Probably just like this.
His manners made him respectful to women, but don’t expect anything more.
Finally, she found herself in that position too.
She took several deep breaths and lowered her thick eyelashes. “Ulric, how about tomorrow…”
“At six in the morning, the wedding company will come to pick you up.”
Rosalind blinked and froze.
She wanted to say, how about canceling tomorrow’s wedding?
“Actually, I think…”
“You don’t want a divorce anymore?” Ulric looked down at her, but Rosalind didn’t dare meet his gaze. She could only focus on his Adam’s apple moving up and down.
“… I do.”
“Then do as I say.”
The atmosphere instantly returned to silence; neither of them said another word.
Ulric helped her put the packed things in the car’s trunk. Before leaving, Rosalind glanced again at the house in Easthaven Bay.
This place had once been where she and Ulric shared intimate moments. Now… this should be the last time she came here!
After getting in the car, Rosalind sent a text message to Malcolm.
So when Ulric arrived downstairs at Tilda’s house, Malcolm was already waiting there.
The two men met again. Although it wasn’t as confrontational as last time, it wasn’t much better either.
“Thank you, Mr. Walters, for bringing Rosalind back.”
