After half an hour, Rosalie went to Reba’s room and found the


    older woman awake and reading a book. She wasn’t sure how long


    Reba had been awake.


    “Grandma,” Rosalie greeted as she walked in.


    “Rose, is Theo awake?”


    “Yes, Grandma. I made him some garlic soup, and he drank it.”


    “Oh, child. Why are you so good to him? You care for him like you’re his mother. Make sure he


    doesn’t take advantage of you.”


    “Grandma, it’s not much trouble for me to make him some garlic soup. If I don’t help him clear his


    head, he’ll be a nuisance when he acts tipsy around you.”


    “If he’s a nuisance, I’ll make him leave,” Reba said bluntly.


    Rosalie sat on the edge of the bed. “Theo and I will stay with you this afternoon, and then we’ll have


    dinner together tonight. How about

    that?”


    They had originally nned to sneak out the resident register during the day, but the n failed.


    Thus, Rosalie had to extend the time.


    She had to get the resident register. She would divorce Theodore.test by tomorrow.


    Rosalie refused to drag it out any longer. She didn’t want to watch Theodore continue to be involved


    with Cynthia during their marriage.


    After the divorce, he could do whatever he wanted, and she wouldn’t have to see it.


    Theodore said she was in a hurry to divorce. Indeed, she was in a


    T


    hurry now.


    “What’s going on with you two today? You’re both so eager to apany an old woman like me. Is


    there something going on?” Reba asked.


    Her eyes were sharp and clear despite her age, shining brightly.


    Rosalie frowned. “Grandma, what do you think we are? Of course we want to spend more time with


    you! You’re usually alone here, and we should take care of you more. Your words make it sound like


    we have ulterior motives.”


    Rosalie did have ulterior motives. She hated the way she pretended.


    “Fine. If you want to apany me, of course I’ll be happy. Why don’t you two stay the night? I


    won’t let Theo drink anymore if you do that,” Reba said.


    “Okay. Thank you, Grandma,” Rosalie said with a smile.


    Theodore and Rosalie did spend the afternoon with Reba. They tried to find an opportunity,


    especially Rosalie, who was particrly


    active.


    She told Theodore where the box containing the resident register was, hoping he’d find the right


    moment to get it. Unfortunately, there was never a good chance.


    Since Zane always kept a bunch of keys in hand, one of which was the key to the box, Rosalie


    couldn’t directly ask him for it. If she did, he would definitely get suspicious and might inform


    Reba, who would easily catch on to what they were up to.


    So, the couple had to wait patiently.


    In the evening, Reba had the kitchen prepare a table full of dishes

    and a pot of soup. The soup smelled delicious, its aroma filling the air from afar.


    Reba insisted that Theodore drink three bowls of it, but she didn’t allow Rosalie to drink more.


    Reba was jubnt today. Her grandson and granddaughter–inw had apanied her all


    afternoon, so naturally, she was in a good mood.


    Rosalie and Theodore were waiting for an opportunity, but little did they know Reba was also


    biding her time.


    Late at night, Rosalie cautiously made her way to Zane’s workroom. She used the shlight on her


    phone to find the key that opened the box, and carefully removed it. Then, she slipped it into her


    pocket before sneaking away.


    Rosalie felt like a thief. She was terribly nervous as she hurried back to her room.


    As she opened the door, she immediately began, “Theo, I’ve got…”


    Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in a pair of strong arms. Theodore pressed her against the


    door, and kissed her.
