“Grandma, why are you out sote?” she asked, holding the older woman’s arm. ”
Judging from Reba’s behavior, it seemed she hadn’t heard Rosalie and Theodore talking about
their divorce earlier. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so calm.
“I was bored, so I came to see if Theo really took you out for your birthday,” Reba said.
She had been a bit skeptical about her grandson, so she came to check herself.
“Oh, you two were supposed to be out, weren’t you? back?

Reba motioned for Theodore toe closer. When he did, she frowned. “How much have you
had to drink?”
“Grandma, it’s my birthday today, so I let him have a few extra drinks. It’s all my fault,” Rosalie
interjected.
“Oh, child. Why do you always take the me for everything? I’m sure he’s the one who couldn’t
hold back from drinking.”
Reba’s cold gaze shifted to Theodore, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on Rosalie.

the old woman’s mouth.
She took Theodore’s hand and ced it on the back of Rosalie’s hand. “Theo and Rose, seeing you
two being so affectionate makes me feel relieved. As long as you two are together, this is home.
Without either of you, it’s not home. Do you understand?”
Rosalie’s nose tingled as she fought back tears and nodded vigorously. “Yes, Grandma, I
understand.”
“Alright then, I won’t disturb you two anymore. I’ll head back now. Enjoy your time together. By the

Go take a look when you get a chance,” Reba said, feeling
reassured after seeing them getting along.

“No need. My ce is not far anyway. The driver is waiting. I’ll head off first. You two take care of

bathroom.
After a while, she emerged and said, “I’ve prepared a bath for you. Wash up and get some rest.”
Theodore looked up and stared at her but remained silent for a while.
Rosalie approached him and said, “You should go take a bath first. I’ll go to the kitchen and make
you some soup. It’ll help you feel better since you drank so much.”
Even though they were getting a divorce, Rosalie couldn’t bring herself to stop caring for him. As
she was about to leave, Theodore suddenly grabbed her arm.
