However, if she really did that, things would only be moreplicated.


    She and Theodore were already divorced, but she was now suddenly pregnant with his child. Meanwhile, Cynthia was about to marry into the Spencer family. The scenario was so absurd that it was unimaginable.


    The only way to simplify things was for her to silently give birth to the child alone. This way, the problem would be solved.


    "Rose, do you hate Theodore?" Reba suddenly asked.


    Rosalie was startled, then sat up straight. "Grandma, why are you suddenly asking me this?"


    "Answer me first. Do you hate him?"


    Rosalie shed Reba a small smile. Her gaze was calm as she said, "Grandma, I don''t hate him."


    "Really? He made so many mistakes and hurt you so much."


    "Yes, he hurt me, but it''s not wrong to not love someone. If not loving someone is a mistake, then we''re all in the wrong. We can''t love every single person in this world."


    "You''re always defending him, and you never put yourself first. You''re too kind."


    Reba loved Rosalie because she was so kind, but sometimes, Rosalie''s kindness broke Reba''s.


    Kind people often made others happy, but suffered on their own. They swallowed their suffering and always pretended to be happy on the outside, but would lick their own wounds in private.


    "Grandma, he defends me too." Rosalie held her hand. "That''s why you beat him up with your walking cane. You were really ruthless! He was groaning in pain at home."


    Thest few words were said with a theatrical tone, painting a vivid picture.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    "Really?" Rebaughed, as if the one injured wasn''t her grandson. "He deserved it! He needed the lesson f he pushed all the me on you, would''ve broken his leg on the spot. Fortunately he didn''t, so he just got some light injuries on his back."


    "Grandma, don''t do that again next time. Theo''s quite pitiful. His parents didn''t give him the care he needed as a child. He was very lonely. You know the situation with my inws. The must have had a hard time growing up."


    Though Rosalie was defending Theodore by asking Reba not to punish him anymore, the main reason was because she knew Reba''s heart also ached when she punished Theodore.


    Reba sighed. "Yes, but no matter what his childhood was like, he should be responsible for his decisions as an adult. When you make a mistake, you should be punished."


    "But he''s already been punished.


    Even though you hit him, he wasn''t


    angry with you or me. When my mother-inw deliberately made things difficult for me, he pulled me behind him to protect me. I never expected he''d still do that even after our divorce. He''s already done his best."


    Rosalie remembered the scene vividly. He was willing to argue with his parents for her sake. He still protected her even after the divorce, which was something not everyone would do.


    "Really? Was Sydney particrly harsh and fierce to you?" Reba asked.


    Rosalie nodded. "Yes. Mom was in a bad mood for some reason. She wasn''t like this before. I''m puzzled as well."
