Chapter 127
If she moved away, she wouldn’t have any contact with Jimmy and his family again, nor would she have any
contact with the Calsises any more. It seemed that it didn’t matter whether she was innocent.
Roderick did not understand why she had changed so much. He watched Theresa, trying to find something in
her eyes, but finding nothing.
“Dr. Hill.” Just then, Rose’s voice broke the silence between them. She ran over to Roderick and said, “When
did you come?”
Roderick smiled and replied, “A moment ago, your uncle called me over for something. What did you just call
me?” He looked at Rose menacingly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I called you Dr. Hill. Why?”
“How rude of you.”
“Do I have to call you Uncle Hill to make you happy?” Rose smiled, and her eyes fell on Theresa defensively.
“What are you talking about?” Roderick was a friend of Charlie. She wondered when did Theresa get so
familiar with him.
Roderick answered, “Nothing, Just talking. Why? It’s against the law to talk.”
Rose stretched out and pulled him away. “You don’t know that there’s something wrong with this woman.
Stay away from her.”
“Something wrong with her? What’s wrong? Isn’t she your aunt?” Rose was not that kind of uneducated girl.
She was respectful and polite to her elders. Roderick was quite surprised to hear what she said now. This was
not like what a good girl Rose could say.
“My aunt? How can she be my aunt? She’s just a divorced woman!”
“What’s wrong with being divorced?” Roderick said, “It’s nothing. There are so many divorces now. It’s
normal for a woman to meet a few men who cheat and play with women’s feelings.”
“Uncle Hill, you say that because you don’t know her.”
Theresa was standing there. Even in front of her, Rose did not save her face. These words were deliberately said
in front of Theresa. Sure enough, the next second, Rose began to popularize Theresa’s dirty history, “She
divorced because she cheated and had children with someone else! I don’t know what means she is using to
make Uncle Charlie obsessed with her!”
Roderick had heard Theresa say something about her and her ex-husband before. Although he didn’t know
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmmuch, now he saw Rose’s reaction and suddenly understood why Theresa had been so persistent in trying to
find out the procedures for giving birth in the hospital. He advised Rose, “Now people like to spread rumors.
Don’t believe it easily. Since your uncle married her, he certainly appreciates her.”
“I don’t believe it easily. Her ex-husband is my husband. You’ve met Jimmy. He’s very nice and doesn’t lie at
all. But she… Look, you’ve just met her but you are already speaking for her! You don’t even believe what I talk
to you!”
When Roderick heard this, he finally knew that Rose and Theresa had this relationship. No wonder Rose would
say these. Well, women have to do something when they get together. He said to Rose, “Go about your
business, I’m ready to go back. I have something to do.”
“OK.” Rose nodded. She gave Theresa a warning look over her shoulder before leaving.
Roderick walked back to Theresa, saying, “Are you all right?” Theresa had been there when he talked to Rose.
She should have heard everything they talked about just now.
“Yeah, used to it,” Theresa said.
