Meanwhile, Theodore was still at the hospital with Cynthia. She c a lot, but he didn’t stop her,


    instead just sitting in a chair by her b lost in thought. When she noticed that Thedore wasn’tfort


    her, Cynthia realized there was no point in continuing to cry and finally stopped.


    Hearing that her crying had subsided, Theodore nced at her. Feeling better?”


    Η


    Still upset, she said, “Theo, I’m sorry. I caused you to argue with yo family.”


    “I don’t think Rose knew that my mom invited you to lunch. She wa there because she had been


    invited too. My mom invited both of yo separately, so you might have misunderstood,” Theodore


    exine


    Cynthia’s heart thumped. Was Theodore defending Rosalie? Did h not believe that his mother and


    wife would team up to bully her?


    “…”


    Cynthia’s hands clenched into fists under the nket. Since Theodore had exined the other two


    women’s actions, she couldn’t directly speak ill of them, or he might end up thinking badly of her


    instead.


    I


    Cynthia bit her lip and said, “Theo, I was surprised when I saw Rosalie there because I thought your


    mother had only invited me. After what happened, I thought they might have nned it together.


    “Honestly, I don’t know what really happened, but I did feel wronged. Even your mother can’t deny


    how she humiliated me in the restaurant. Why did she want to see me if she doesn’t like me?”

    “Then, tell me, why did Rose ssh water on you? What happened


    before she did that?” Theodore asked.


    Cynthia suddenly felt uneasy. She knew exactly what happened, but she definitely couldn’t tell


    Theodore the truth.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything? Did you y something to her?”


    Theodore frowned, a hint of unease in his eyes. Had he


    misunderstood Rosalie?


    “We had an argument. We were talking about you, and things got a bit heated. Women are always a


    bit emotional, you know,” Cynthia said pitifully.


    It was better to say that she and Rosalie had argued over Theodore, leading to the water incident,


    than to tell him the truth.


    Theodore fell silent. Cynthia’s words seemed to make sense. But didn’t Rosalie dislike him? Why


    would she argue with Cynthia because


    of him?


    Could it be that Rosalie harbored some resentment towards Cynthia because she and Theodore


    were ultimately still husband and wife? Did she not necessarily need to love him to argue over him?


    He thought back to the fights he had with Rosalie previously. If he could argue with her, then it


    wasn’t surprising that Rosalie would argue with Cynthia.


    Theodore sighed and gently patted the nket covering Cynthia. ” Okay, I understand.”


    The incident at lunch was probably just a farce. He just hadn’t expected that his mother would do


    such a thing one day. He thought. his mother had already distanced herself from the Spencer


    family’s affairs, and that his parents were still together only on paper.


    “Theo, I’m afraid your rtionship with the Spencer family will be damaged because of me. I don’t


    want to cause a rift between you and


    them. Then, I’d be the guilty one,” said Cynthia.


    “Sorry, Cindy. I apologize on their behalf.”


    Since Rosalie and Sydney refused to apologize to Cynthia, he, as their husband and son, had to do


    it.


    “Theo, you know that I’ll never me you. As long as I know your heart is with me, that’s enough.


    I’m not afraid of any grievances. Even if the whole world hates me, I’m okay as long as I still have


    you.”


    Cynthia’s eyes reddened with tears, making her pitiful appearance. seem especially heartbreaking.


    “Cindy, I have another question,” Theodore said.
