"You want me to be more proactive? Are you saying I should keep her here to prevent her from going elsewhere?"
"Isn''t it better to keep her here? She''s been staying with the Spencers for so many years. There''s no reason for her to go so far away," Theodore said.
When Rosalie went to college, he didn''t let her go somewhere far away. He admitted that he was a bit selfish for not wanting her to be too far from him, like a helicopter parent who wanted to keep his children close.
But if she really wanted to go to another ce for college, he wouldn''t have stopped her. Fortunately, she listened to him and stayed in Ashwick City for college.
Sydney raised her eyebrow, her eyes glinting slyly. "I think I heard Rose mention that she wants to travel."
"Where does she want to go?" Theodore frowned, looking a bit uneasy.
"I don''t know. She just mentioned it casually, and I didn''t ask for details. It''s normal for her to want to travel. There''s not much to ask."
"Well, you should have at least asked where she''s going, whether she''s going alone or with someone else, and if she''s traveling abroad or within the country," he retorted.
Hearing Theodore''s barrage of questions, Sydney became even clearer about his feelings.
"When you see her, you can ask her yourself. If you care about what''s going on in her life so much, why did you divorce her? Keeping her by your side would give you a legitimate reason to care for her."
"I..." Theodore paused, rendered speechless.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.
When Theodore went silent, Sydney sighed softly. "Think about it. I have something to do, so I''m hanging up now." Sydney hung up. She shook her head helplessly, andmented, "Each Spencer man is more clueless than thest." She didn''t call Rosalie, but instead sent a message. [I''m meeting Theo tonight. Are you free?]
Rosalie quickly replied. [Sorry, I''ve already made ns with friends tonight.]
[Who? Are you having dinner together?]
[Yes. It''s just a gathering with a few friends.]
[I see. Alright, I''ll go meet Theo myself.]
[Okay, call me if you need anything.]
[Sure.]
After ending the chat with Rosalie, Sydney immediately texted Theodore. [I just called Rosalie. She''s busy tonight; she''s going out with her friends.] Theodore''s reply came instantly. [Who? Male or female?]
[I don''t know. I can''t possibly ask her who, right?]
As soon as Sydney sent this message, Theodore called her.
She answered the call with a helpless sigh, putting the phone to her ear. "Hello."
"Why didn''t you ask her? Aren''t you worried about her meeting peoplete at night? Didn''t you say she''s your daughter?" Theodore demanded. Sydney moved the phone away from her ear, frowning.
With a forced smile, she replied, "She
l
has her own life. Even if she calls me Mom, I don''t need to know that many details. Besides, as her ex-husband, you have even less right to question whether her friends are male or female."
Sydney could clearly hear Theodore''s breathing bing
more rapid. In fact, she deliberately didn''t tell Theodore that Rosalie wasn''t going out with one person, but a group of friends.
"Since she''s noting, let''s not meet tonight. We''ll talk when she''s free," Theodore snapped.
Sydney sneered, "You really are my son, huh? How practical of you! You''re not going to see your mother just because your ex-wife isn''ting."
"Fine, I''lle. We''ll have a chat, starting from when I can remember. We have plenty to talk about."
Sydney stiffened. She shuddered
upon thinking about that scenario. If Theodore wanted to talk about everything since childhood, she wouldn''t be able to sleep tonight. In fact, she would probably feel guilty all night.
to
That wouldn''t do! If that was the case, Rosalie had to be there as a buffer.
Actually, Sydney was also uncertain as to how to act around Theodore when they were alone together.
"Let''s reschedule."
With that, she hung up.
