Seeing Theodore staring at Rosalie in silence frustrated Sydney. She looked straight into Theodore''s eyes, and said harshly, "Just speak your mind!" How infuriating!


    Wesley''s heart leaped as he looked at Sydney in surprise. He suddenly felt as agitated and emotional as a super fan meeting his idol face to face. So cool, so domineering-he loved it!


    He suddenly had a strong urge to be dominated and controlled by her.


    Who knew that Wesley Spencer, so smartly-dressed and with an air of authority to him, would have desires for such vices.


    Despite being bound by rules of morality in society, man''s deepest animal instincts and desires would at times still rear its ugly head.


    Some would desire to whip others, while others might desire to be whipped.Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    Rosalie suddenly realized that Sydney and Theodore didn''t seem to be in dire need to bond. Their rtionship as mother and son seemed to have be very natural.


    Whenever Sydney scolded Theodore, she didn''t seem the least guilty about herck of care for her son in earlier days. Theodore didn''t seem angry at his mother''s rebuke, either.


    Theodore looked down, his eyshes hiding the sadness in his eyes.


    "I''ll marry Cynthia in three days. I''ve asked someone to order her a wedding gown and prepare for the wedding ceremony. When I marry her, I hope all of you will be there. Of course, Rose need not be present, but she can if she wants to. Cynthia needs a bridesmaid, anyway."


    The silence after he spoke was deafening, and the air around them felt heavy.


    Rosalie suddenly felt dizzy.


    Whatever Theodore said was supposed to have nothing to do with her, and she shouldn''t care so much about it. Yet, each time he spoke, his words made her see him in a new light.


    The cheek of him to say something like this!


    Cynthia needed a bridesmaid, so she as his ex-wife could be one.


    What nonsense was he spouting?


    How could he bring himself to say something like this? The nerve!


    Rosalie didn''t know whether tough or cry, her expression indescribable as she was rendered speechless.


    "You idiot! Are you mad?" Wesley mmed the table, and pointed a finger at Theodore. "You know very well that the Spencers will never ept that woman! The audacity of you to even propose this! Are you just going to disregard everyone in the family?"


    Theodore looked exceptionallyposed. Without even blinking, he said, "It''s precisely because I hold all I of you in high regard that I''m telling you about this and inviting you to my wedding. This is final. I''ll marry Cynthia whether you approve of it or not."


    "You..." Wesley was dizzy with rage, and suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at Sydney, but found her unusually quiet.


    Sydney wiped her mouth elegantly with her napkin, and looked up with a smile. "Why didn''t you tell Grandma about this, then? Your grandmother should have been here today to hear your very shocking conclusion."


    Theodore said tly, “Grandma is advanced in years, and it''s best not to tell her about this given her health. I trust you wouldn''t want her knowing something like this, either."


    "Something like this?" Sydney said, with what seemed like a smirk. "In that case, you also think that marrying Cynthia is something shameful and will anger Grandma to death."


    "There''s nothing shameless about it.


    You''re all just biased against


    Cynthia. Grandma also tends to be


    more conservative. I just want to


    avoid creating trouble. I trust you wouldn''t tell Grandma about


    ut this


    and provoke her to anger," Theodore said calmly.
