Hearing the call connect sessfully, Rosalie sighed in relief—he hadn''t blocked her number. At least he was quite magnanimous in this regard. However, no one picked up the call. After about half a minute, the call was cut off.


    Rosalie sighed again. How was she supposed to take Theodore to visit Reba?


    "Do you need something?" A cold voice sounded behind her.


    Rosalie turned around to see Theodore standing there. She felt relieved. "So you''re still at the hospital. I thought you had left.”


    "Why did you call me?" Theodore asked expressionlessly.


    Clutching her phone, Rosalie stepped forward anxiously. "I promised Grandma I''d join her for dinner tonight, and she expects us to be there."


    "That''s what you promised. I never agreed." Theodore''s indifferent tone made it clear he hadn''t agreed to this.


    Rosalie, knowing she was at fault for promising without asking him first, didn''t get angry.


    Instead, she said, "I know things are tense between us, but none of this should affect Grandma. When she called today, she was coughing a lot and sounded much weaker than before. Can we go see her together? Let''s reassure her by looking like we''re family even though we''re divorced."


    Theodore''s hands were in his pockets. "So you want us to act in front of her?"


    Rosalie smiled bitterly. "Haven''t we been acting for more than a year already? Doing it a bit longer won''t hurt, especially for your biological grandmother''s sake. You can criticize me, but I hope you can be more considerate of her.”


    "There''s nothing for me to consider." Theodore''s voice was as cold as ice.


    Rosalie''s heart sank. "You won''t do it?"


    Theodore pulled out his car keys. "I''ll drive you."


    He had meant that he agreed. Visiting Reba was never something he needed to think about; it was a given.


    Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you."


    "No need to thank me. I''m her grandson. It''s my responsibility. Are you riding in my car?"


    Rosalie nodded. "Sure."


    Going together in the same car would make Reba happier.


    "Do you need to exin to Sebastian?"


    "I''ve already talked to him. Do you need to inform Cynthia?"


    "There''s no need. I''ll just send her а message." He took out his phone, tapped a few times on the screen,


    then put it back in his

    "Let''s


    Rosalie followed Theodore, feeling like they finally had a moment of peace. With Reba as amon link, no matter how fierce their arguments, they would both@alm down in her presence.


    Theodore drove toward Reba''s residence. Rosalie gripped the seatbelt, feeling both heavy-hearted and anxious.


    Their rtionship was very strained.


    They were always arguing and


    hurting each other with harsh words. Yet here they were, about to see Reba together and pretend to be on good terms.


    Things often spiraled out of control.

    Rosalie didn''t know what to say, and Theodore didn''t speak either. The atmosphere in the car was oppressively tense until they passed a flower shop halfway.


    Theodore stopped the car, and a few minutester, he returned with a bouquet of fresh flowers. He ced them in the back seat.
