Theodore nodded. "Yes."At this point, what else could he say?"Alright."The word was bitter on her tongue, and Rosalie felt herself go numb.Just last night, this man had been taking care of her meticulously. Today, he came back specifically to explain things to her. They slept together as if they were a loving couple, but now...He was so unpredictable, and she was being driven crazy by him.It was better to divorce sooner rather than later!Suppressing her sadness, Rosalie took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number.Soon, she smiled and said, "Grandma, it's me. How are you feeling these days? I want to come with Theo tomorrow to visit you and have lunch together. Is that okay? Yeah. Theo and I will be there tomorrow at noon."After Rosalie finished speaking, she hung up.Turning to Theodore, she said, "Let's plan for a bit. Tomorrow, after we arrive, I'll keep Grandma busy while you sneak into her room and steal the resident register. Once we have it, we'll pr
Soon, evening arrived. Theodore finished his shower and lay in bed, hoping to sleep early. But no matter how much he tossed and turned, he couldn't fall asleep. He got out of bed and left his room. He went to Rosalie's door, and knocked softly. After waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside. Theodore wanted to knock again, but considering their current relationship, he hesitated. Even if she opened the door, he felt like he had nothing to say. He simply had an inexplicable urge to see her.He returned to his room. Just as he sat on the bed, someone knocked on his door. The door wasn't locked, so the other person could come in directly. However, he still quickly went to open it because he recognized Rosalie's knocking.When he opened the door, Rosalie's hand was still in the air, ready to knock again. She grinned awkwardly. Seeing that Theodore had already opened the door, she handed him her phone.On the screen was Rosalie's WhatsApp conversation with Rebec
"Oh, Grandma! Enough already. You know I'm shy," Rosalie said, pretending to be embarrassed."Alright, I won't bother you two anymore. Goodbye." Rebecca ended the video call.Rosalie sighed deeply, immediately dropping the shy act and becoming calm. She turned to Theodore and said, "I'm returning to my room now. You should rest early."She was about to leave bed when Theodore grabbed her hand. "Wait a minute."Rosalie turned around and asked, "What's up?""Why don't you just sleep here?"Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She shook her head quickly. "No. That would be inappropriate."She tried to leave, but Theodore's grip tightened."Why? Even though we're getting divorced tomorrow, the time hasn't come yet. We're still husband and wife for now. This is our last night together as a married couple."Rosalie's heart ached. Yes, after tomorrow, he wouldn't be her husband anymore. He would belong to Cynthia.Suddenly, Theodore pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "Stay.
The next day, Rosalie found herself lying in Theodore’s arms. From what she remembered, this was a rare occurrence. Usually, she would wake up to find Theodore already gone and she would be alone.Staring at his handsome sleeping face, she couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke his face. A strong sense of reluctance flashed in her eyes.After their divorce today, Theodore would be free.Feeling a tingling sensation on his face, Theodore shifted his body slightly and turned over to continue sleeping.Rosalie withdrew her hand, as if she had been electrocuted.They were only going to Rebecca's place at noon, so she didn't disturb his rest and let him sleep while she got up early.It wasn't until after nine o'clock that Theodore woke up. He felt a headache, and coughed a few times. Then, he realized that Rosalie wasn't by his side. She must have already gotten up.Usually, he was the one who woke up first. But today, he opened his eyes to find her missing from his side.He
When Rosalie arrived at Rebecca's place, it was around ten o'clock.Rebecca was lying in bed, wearing her reading glasses and engrossed in a book.Spotting Rosalie, she quickly put down her book and smiled warmly. "Rose, you're here.""Grandma." Rosalie smiled back, sitting beside Rebecca's bed. "What are you reading?""It's a romance novel," Rebecca replied.Rosalie peeked at the cover out of curiosity. Indeed, it was one of those girly romance novels. She exclaimed, "Grandma, you're actually reading a romance novel?""What's wrong with that? Just because I'm old, I can't read romance novels anymore?" Rebecca's tone was serious, but she didn't actually seem angry. "Can only young people like you read them? Do you look down on me, an old woman?"Though Rebecca sounded stern, she wasn't genuinely upset."Oh, Grandma, that's not what I meant at all," Rosalie reassured her quickly. "I didn't expect you to still have such a youthful heart. That's wonderful! You're my favorite kin
"Seeing you also makes me happy," Rebecca said, patting Rosalie's head affectionately."Grandma, I'm sure you're not as happy as I am.""You little rascal." Rebecca chuckled, unable to contain her smile. "Acting like a child, and even competing with me.""I insist on doing that," Rosalie retorted in a childish manner."You're such a child," Rebecca sighed. "You should compete with your husband and see who loves the other more."Rosalie's smile froze, and her heart suddenly ached. The word "love" was ironic in the context of her and Theodore.Theodore loved Cynthia.However, Rosalie couldn't confide her heartache to Rebecca. She had to keep it to herself.Unaware of Rosalie's inner turmoil, Rebecca continued, "Rose, I'm on your side. Let me tell you, never be too good to men. If you spoil them, they won't cherish you. You have to give them a hard time once in a while, so make sure Theo loves you more. You have to love him less."Rosalie felt bitter inside, but Rebecca's words a
Rosalie glanced at the time. "Okay."She took out her phone, and dialed Theodore's number. It didn't take long for him to pick up. "Hello?""Theo, when are you coming? Grandma's waiting," she asked."I still need to deal with some company matters. Just wait a bit longer," he replied."Oh, okay. How long do you think it will take?""Not too long."Suddenly, a woman's voice came from Theodore's end. "Theo, I accidentally spilled water on myself. Can you help me change my clothes?"Hearing Cynthia's voice, Rosalie suddenly felt annoyed. Wasn't this man supposed to be at the office? Why was he with Cynthia again?She was about to ask him, but with Rebecca beside her, she didn't dare say much. So she just coldly said to Theodore, "Hurry up. Don't keep Grandma waiting."Theodore simply responded calmly, "Okay."After hanging up the phone, Rosalie said to Rebecca, "Grandma, he'll be here soon. I'll go to the kitchen and see how things are going. You rest for a while.""Alrigh
Rosalie wasn't even angry, she just found it amusing. Cynthia was just too ridiculous. It seemed Theodore hadn't told her about stealing the resident register.Still, it was strange. It was such a big deal, but Theodore hadn't mentioned it to Cynthia when it concerned both of them."You're right," Rosalie said. "He cares so much about you, but I'm curious why he didn't tell you about what was planned today.""I know about today's plans," Cynthia replied. "He told me everything.""Oh, really? So, what did he say?" Rosalie asked curiously.She just wanted to see how Cynthia would play the fool. If Cynthia truly knew, would she remain so calm? Would she deliberately delay Theodore and prevent him from leaving her side?"Theo said you guys are going back to have lunch with his grandmother. Didn't you just accompany her a few days ago? It's not a big deal if he goes a bit later, right?""Oh, is that so? He only told you that we were having lunch with his grandmother, and nothing else
