“Grandma, no matter the misunderstanding, I really shouldn’t have spent the night at a male friend’s
house. But don’t worry, I really am just friends with Sebastian. Nothing happened between us. He’s
a very good man, and has never crossed the line with me.”
Reba smiled faintly, “You’re so anxious to speak up for him. Seems like he really is a good
man.”
“Grandma, he’s the CEO of Skycrest Enterprise.”
“Skycrest Enterprise?” Realization dawned upon Reba. “I see, so he’s the son of the chairman
of Skycrest Enterprise. A capable man indeed.”
“Grandma,” Rosalie said as she knelt on the ground. “If you’re not happy about it, I’ll just keep my
distance from him.”
Reba sighed. “He’s your friend. I can’t stop you from making friends. What’s more, you’re now
divorced from Theodore. I have no right to ask that of you.”
“Grandma, I’m the one at fault for failing to keep our marriage intact. I’ve disappointed you.”
Had Theodore not asked for a divorce, she would have been willing to stay in the marriage despite
knowing that he didn’t love her. She was willing to do anything for Grandma.
“Silly girl! How could you be to me?” Reba patted Rosalie’s head gently. “Even Theo said that
it’s not your fault.”
“What did you say?” Rosalie looked at Reba in doubt. “When did Theo say that?”
“When he came back yesterday after you left.”
Rosalie recalled that she fought with Theodore again before she left yesterday. She felt very
agitated, and drove off immediately. She didn’t know what happened subsequently. Did Theodore
not leave at all?
“Grandma, what did he tell you after he came back?” she asked.
Reba stared straight ahead, looking rather haggard as shemented. “He…”
Last evening, Reba had locked herself up in her room until she heard Theodore outside the
door.
“Grandma, Rose has left. I need to talk to you. Let me in, please?”
Reba didn’t let him in, and simply ignored him.
Theodore persisted, “Grandma, it’s fine if you don’t let me in to see you. I’ll just talk to you through
the door.”
After pausing for a moment, he went on, “Grandma, everything that happened was my fault. Rose
has nothing to do with it. I was the one who kept getting entangled–with Cindy, and I made Rose
sad many times.
“As for me saying that she spent the night with another man, I said that in a fit of anger. That man is
my friend, and even if he isn’t, I have no right to say anything about it. I myself frequently stay out all
night, while that man really didn’t do anything with Rose. You have to trust her character.
“Grandma, I know you’re still angry, but know that everything is my fault. I was the one who caused
everything. I was the first to betray our marriage and disappoint Rose. You know she likes to keep
things to herself. The fact that she fought with me shows that she really couldn’t take this any
longer. It tells you how terrible I’ve been to her.
“Grandma, Rose and I are divorced now. I know it’s not something

you wish to see, but think about it from Rose’s perspective. She’s now freed from a horrid
husband.”
Reba remained silent for a long time.
After Theodore was done speaking, he stood at the door for a long time until Reba finally said,
“Come in.”
Theodore sighed, and opened the door to enter.
A thunk came from the room not long after.
Rosalie was stunned after hearing Reba recount what happened yesterday. Eventually, she
asked in shock, “Grandma, you hit him with your cane?!”
