Rosalie sat in the front passenger seat in the car while Theodore drove on in silence.


    There were a few times Rosalie had the urge to speak, but seeing Theodore remaining silent made


    her hold herself back.


    It felt like apetition in which the first to speak loses.


    Just as that thought popped into Rosalie’s mind, Theodore spoke up.


    “I hope you won’t think about what happened today again.”


    Rosalie furrowed her brows. “Then why are you mentioning it again?”


    “I just want to make things clear. I’ll look into what exactly happened with the operation.”


    Rosalie scoffed. “In that case, you’re admitting that you think. Grandma did it even before


    investigating things.”


    Theodore said, “It is precisely because I think that Grandma’s the one. that I didn’t go ahead with


    the investigations. Whatever it is, Cindy. has already paid the price.”


    Rosalie sneered, “So, whatever she says is right and whatever she does will be forgiven, just


    because of her health condition?”

    “What if it were you? Do you want to be in poor health like Cindy and pitied, or to be in good health


    but misunderstood?”


    Rosalie chuckled. “So being in poor health allows you to receive unconditional protection and pity.


    I’ve learned something new today.”


    ording to his logic, a person can do whatever she likes because of her poor health, and be


    forgiven even when she does something wrong. Such a person was to be pitied, after all.


    Theodore didn’t exin himself further on this matter. Since it was already over, then so be it.


    The more he exined himself, the more it might upset Rose, he thought.


    “Let’s go through with the divorce today. We’ll head home to fetch the resident register. We can’t


    dy this any longer,” Rosalie said.


    “Rose, I want to discuss the divorce with you.”


    “What about it do you want to discuss?” Rosalie asked.


    Theodore suggested, “Shall we not get a divorce for the time being?”


    Rosalie was stunned. “What did you say?”


    “Let’s not get a divorce for now,” he repeated himself.


    Rosalie suddenlyughed out loud–not out of joy, but because she found the entire situation


    laughable,


    “What exactly is wrong with you?! You were the one who asked for a divorce in the first ce. Fine,


    I can ept that many things have happened that stopped us from going through with the divorce.


    But now, you’re telling me that you don’t want a divorce? What’s this? Do you have some sort of


    fetish that makes the prospect of being with Cynthia less thrilling after the divorce?”


    She really couldn’t understand this man.


    Theodore’s brows were tightly knitted.


    “I didn’t mean that,” he said.


    “So what exactly did you mean?”


    “You saw for yourself what happened today. The Spencers will never approve of Cindy. Grandma


    said many things to me, but one thing is for sure: she’s getting older, and her health is deteriorating.


    If we get


    a divorce now, she’ll feel terrible even if she doesn’t say it. That would be detrimental to her


    health.”


    “But Grandma said that she’ll be happy as long as I’m happy. I’ll stille visit her frequently even


    after the divorce.”


    “I know. Grandma wants you to be happy, and that’s why she agrees to our divorce. But you know


    very well that she’ll certainly feel sad about it. If you don’t believe me, call Zane and ask him how


    her mood has been ever since she found out that you want to divorce me.”


    Rosalie picked up her phone, and called Zane.


    A few minutester, Rosalie hung up and remained silent for a long while.


    Theodore finally asked, “Well? Did you get an answer?”


    Rosalie remained silent.


    Reba had indeed been unhappy. Zane told her that she kept sighing and would even weep in


    secret, ming herself for how things turned out.
