Reba replied, “At that time, Wesley was as stubborn as a mule. He couldn’t be persuaded, no


    matter what. He really left with nothing, and gave up everything to chase after his first love. Before


    he left, he even had a fight with Sydney. Theo was about ten years old at that time.”


    Rosalie frowned tightly. “Dad was really over the line ”


    “Yes, I don’t know what got into him. He was truly blinded by something. What was so good about


    that first love of his?”


    Hearing this, Rosalie also wondered what was so special about Cynthia.


    “And then, what happened?” Rosalie asked further.


    Suddenly, Reba burst intoughter.


    “The story’s just too funny. That woman originally thought I couldn’t bear to let my son leave with


    nothing. As time went on, she realized that I really made Wesley leave with nothing. He had no


    money left, and had lost everything. When that woman realized she couldn’t be Mrs. Spencer,


    she left him.”


    At this point, Reba couldn’t stopughing.


    “I’ve seen so many women like her, all just aiming to be ady of the Spencer family.”


    Rosalie couldn’t help butugh too. “So, Dad was abandoned?”


    “Exactly! Later, Wesley realized her true colors. He came back to apologize to me. I told him that


    apologizing to me won’t help, and that he should apologize to his wife. Sydney wasn’t willing to


    forgive him and insisted on divorcing him, but Wesley refused,” Reba replied.


    “After all the twists and turns, the marriage hasn’t ended. Sydney’s disappointed in him, and doesn’t


    want to live with him. She focuses on her career, and doesn’t care about Wesley. Even now, they’re


    still at a stalemate.”


    Rosalie understood everything after hearing this.


    “Mom’s attitude towards Dad is understandable, considering how Dad acted. It’s all Dad’s fault.”


    Rosalie didn’t defend Wesley. After all, he waspletely in the


    wrong.


    “Even though Wesley is my biological son, I can’t just turn a blind eye to what he did. I did talk to


    Sydney, subtly hinting and hoping they could reconcile. Ultimately, their rtionship is up to them. I


    can’t force it. Whether Sydney can forgive my son and what happens in the future, it’s all up to


    them,” Reba said.


    Rosalie truly admired Reba. Few people could be as clear–minded as her.


    “Yes, what happens in the future is up to them. I feel like Mom’s career is still very important to her,


    though. She should be living a fulfilling life now.”


    Reba nodded.


    “That’s right. She’s very capable. She became the bank president through her own abilities, without


    relying on the Spencer family.


    “Actually, she’s had a tough life. Her mother died early, and her father remarried when she was


    young. Her stepmother treated her badly, and even abused her when she was a child.


    “After she married into the family, her father and stepmother shamelessly came looking for her.


    They wanted to climb the socialdder through her. I told Sydney that it was her decision, but she’s


    very clear–headed. If someone treats her badly, she doesn’t care about their blood ties.”


    Reba suddenly remembered something, and said, “Actually,


    Sydney is quite simr to you in some ways. When I chose a wife for Wesley, I also considered her


    character.”


    “Does that mean you arranged Dad’s marriage too, Grandma?”


    It seemed simr to what happened between her and Theodore.


    “Rose, do you think I’m too overbearing? To even arrange marriages?” Reba asked.

    “I didn’t mean it like that, Grandma.”
