After a short while, the call connected.


    “Hello.


    With Reba nearby, Rosalie couldn’t afford to sound too distant when talking to Theodore.


    So, she had to warmly say, “Honey, it’s me.”


    Hearing Rosalie’s tone, Theodore frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. What’s up?”


    “When are youing to Grandma’s ce?”


    Theodore nced at his watch. “I’lleter.”


    “Can youe earlier?”


    “Why the rush? It’s still early.”


    “I just want you toe earlier and spend more time with Grandma.


    “Is that Grandma’s request?”


    Rosalie responded with a hum.


    “In that case, you can tell her I’lleter.”


    “But…”


    “Have you forgotten what you said earlier? You’ve been patient with me for a long time. It’ll be more


    comfortable for you if Ieter, so you won’t have trouble eating.”


    After saying that, Theodore abruptly hung up, as though sulking and holding her to her words.


    Rosalie had only said those things because she had no other choice,


    afraid Theodore would find out she was pregnant. She hadn’t expected him to use it against her.


    “What did he say?” Reba asked curiously.


    Rosalie forced a smile. “He said he’ll try toe as soon as possible.”


    “That child…” Reba sighed.


    Seeing that Reba looked tired, Rosalie said, “Grandma, let me help you back to your room so


    you can rest for a while.”


    “Okay.”


    They would all need some energy for dinnerter, so it was wise to


    rest beforehand.


    After escorting Reba back to her room and tucking her in, Rosalie left. At the door, she


    immediately took out her phone and sent a text


    message.


    [I hope that our issues won’t affect Grandma. She really wants to see. you, so please don’t let your


    feelings towards me affect her. I have already assured her that you–wille as soon as possible.


    Whatever you feel about me, it’s up to you to handle.]

    Theodore didn’t reply to her message. However, he arrived at the manor less than an hourter to


    find Rosalie busy knitting a scarf.


    Reba liked to knit when she was bored, and she would often teach


    Rosalie. So, she would sometimes continue knitting the old woman’s projects on her behalf.


    Rosalie was knitting so intently that she didn’t notice Theodore’s arrival until the tall man sat down


    next to her, startling her. One of the knitting needles pierced her finger, and though it had a rounded


    tip and normally wouldn’t cause much pain even if one was pricked, Rosalie had been startled so


    badly that she had jabbed her finger a little too forcefully.

    She eximed in pain and clutched her hand as the ball of yarn and needles fell off herp to the


    floor. Theodore frowned, bending down. to pick up the items from the floor and ce them on the


    nearby coffee table.


    He grabbed his wife’s hand. “Why are you so careless?”


    The gap under Rosalie’s nail bed had turned red. Although there was no bleeding, it was evident


    that it hurt. After all, the nerves in the fingers were closely connected to the heart.


    “You appeared without a word, startling me, and now you me me?” Rosalie pulled her hand back


    forcefully.


    Hearing the woman’s cold tone, Theodore narrowed his eyes, obviously displeased. “Are you


    implying it’s all my fault?”


    “I didn’t say that,” Rosalie replied, not wanting to argue with him.


    This kind of situation never led to a good oue.


    But Theodore seemed determined to rify the matter.


    “Before we got married, you said you saw me as a brother and had no feelings for me. Even when I


    mentioned divorce, you said the same. And before I took you to the hospital, you said you had been


    patient with me for long enough. Now, I’ve given you freedom, and yet you feel wronged?”


    “Yes, whatever. I feel wronged. Whatever the mighty CEO of SK Enterprise does is always right,”


    Rosalie said sarcastically as she picked up the yarn, intending to continue knitting.
