Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 2090

Chapter 2090

Rachel knew that it was petty of her to get jealous over a dead woman, but she could not find a way to get past it. She could not accept the fact that Theo had confessed his love toward her while being involved with another woman all this while.

Not only that, but she had never even known about this woman’s existence until this day.

If she had not followed Caleb to escort Rosalyn and Charles back to Merchant City, she probably would have never found out the truth; that the man who claimed to love her had held another woman on her deathbed and even kissed her just seconds before her death.

“Rachel.” Theo’s brows were furrowed as he held a limp, no-longer-breathing Roanne. “She’s had a hard life. Are you really going to argue with me about this over her dead body?”

His pity and guilt toward Roanne had surpassed all of his other emotions, and as he held Roanne’s body close to him, he could not understand why Rachel was behaving so petty and holding this against him. Could she not wait until the body was at least taken care of? According to what he had read, hearing was the last of the five senses to leave one’s body. Roanne had just died seconds ago, and if what he read was true, then she must have overheard the conversation he had with Rachel!

He did not want this to be the last thing Roanne heard before her soul left her body.

As soon as he thought of this, Theo let out an exhale and gently whispered next to Roanne’s ear, “Rest in peace. You and I were never meant to be in this lifetime…and I hope you won’t meet someone like me again in your next life.” With that, he gently placed the body back on the bed. Rachel watched quietly as he did this and could not help feeling as though there was a knot in her chest.

Perhaps it was because of her familiarity with dead bodies, or maybe it was due to her blunt personality, but for some reason, she did not find it inappropriate to argue with Theo in front of Roanne’s body.
