Zane shook his head once more. “Madam Jarvis has already made it clear that she doesn’t want to
see you. You had better note
again during this period.”
Rosalie clenched her fists, and suddenly burst into tears. Zane was stunned to see tears trickling
down Rosalie’s cheeks.
“Madam, please don’t cry. We can talk things through.”
“I do want to talk things through, but…but Grandma doesn’t want to see me, and I feel so upset!”
Rosalie hung her head low, and sobbed harder. She was broken- hearted and her tears were
genuine, and it made for a pitiful sight.
Zane started to panic.
Just then, a phone rang.
Zane pulled out his phone, and said, “Hello, Madam Jarvis.”
From Zane’s words, Rosalie knew that Grandma had called. She cried even harder, as if
deliberately trying to let Reba hear.
“All right.”
Zane hung up, and said to Rosalie, “Madam Rosalie, Madam Jarvis. says you can go in. She’s
waiting for you in her room.”
Rosalie cried tears of joy as she turned to head upstairs.
Reba was lying on the lounge chair in the balcony when Rosalie approached her cautiously..
“Grandma, these are some snacks that I made especially for you. Try them.”
Rosalie wasn’t an expert chef, and she learned how to make them by watching videos online.
Reba sighed. “Put them over there.”
Her tone was neither warm nor cold, worlds apart from how eager she always was with Rosalie.
Rosalie’s heart raced like a young student caught doing something. wrong, not daring to lift her
head before her parents.
She ced the te of snacks on the table and stood by Reba’s side, her head hung low and
not daring to utter a word.
“You insisted oning in, crying and kicking up a fuss. Now that you’re here with me, why are you
keeping mum?”
“Grandma, hear me out regarding what happened yesterday. I…”
Grandma was ready to hear her out, but for some reason, Rosalie froze, unsure of where to begin.
“Why are you just standing there in a daze? Aren’t you going to exin yourself? Go on,” Reba
said, looking all ready to hear Rosalie out.
Rosalie took a deep breath and said, “Last night, I did fight with Theodore, but there was a
misunderstanding between us.”
“What was the misunderstanding about? That you stayed the night at another man’s ce? Was
that not true?”
“Grandma, that was true. I did stay the night at another man’s ce.”
Reba gripped the armrest of her chair, and turned her face away.
Upon seeing the change in Reba’s expression, Rosalie went on,” But it’s not what you think. His
name is Sebastian Carter, and we’re good friends. He’s been helping me out over the past few
days.”
“Oh, is that so?” Reba sneered. “So that’s why you stayed the night at his ce?”
“Grandma, nothing happened between us. I was feeling very low at that time, and he helped me out
of the goodness of his heart. He didn’t want me to be alone, for fear that I might do something
reckless.”

“It sounds like he really cares for you. Why didn’t youe to me instead?” Reba asked
morosely.
She doted so much on her granddaughter, yet she didn’te to her at her saddest moments. She
knew that Rose didn’t want her to worry, but it still saddened her.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
Rosalie had no exnation for that. No matter what she said, the fact remained that she went to
Sebastian’s. Although nothing happened between them, she was still a married woman at that
time.
“Are you already admitting your mistake? Don’t you owe me an exnation? Didn’t you say that
there was a misunderstanding?” Reba pressed further..
