Rosalie didn''t want to lie to Reba, but she couldn''t tell her grandmother the truth about how badly she and Theodore were getting along. It would sadden Reba.


    "That''s good, then." Reba lowered her head slightly, sadness flickering in her eyes. She knew that regardless of how well Rosalie and Theodore were getting along, she couldn''t change the fact that they were divorced.


    "Yes, Grandma," Theodore said. "Don''t worry. No matter what happens to Rose, I will always help her."


    Theodore wasn''t just saying this tofort Reba. He really meant it.


    Rosalie was taken aback, and turned to look at Theodore. She suddenly recalled all the chaos they had gone through. It was hard to imagine they could have such a calm and harmonious moment. She didn''t know how long this peace wouldst, but at least they weren''t fighting like before.


    "Theo." Reba held his hand. "I trust that you''ll do what you say, but helping her is one thing. Bullying her is another. No matter what happens, don''t bully Rose anymore."


    Before Theodore could respond, Rosalie quickly said, "Grandma, he hasn''t bullied me. We''ve been getting along well since the divorce. You...” “Enough,” Reba interrupted. “I know you''re speaking up for Theo, but I also know what he has done. I believe he has been spoiled by you, Rose. You''ve been too tolerant of him, which is why he dared to make those irreparable mistakes."


    "Grandma, I haven''t..."


    "Rose," Reba interrupted her again. "Whether you have or not doesn''t matter anymore. I''m just telling him not to bully you. Don''t rush to defend him."


    Rosalie was at a loss for words, and remained silent.


    "Grandma," Theodore began, "I won''t bully Rose anymore. I''m to me for all the mistakes I made. I won''t repeat them."


    Reba smiled. "Theo, promises


    are meaningless. Few people in this world can truly keep their promises. I think you will continue to make. mistakes. Everyone does. Each time they promise they won''t do it again, it still happens."


    At her age, she saw things differently than young people. She had seen enough to know that no one was perfect. Even saints had their ws. Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses, as well as good and bad sides. That was howplex humans were.


    The choice to forgive someone


    when they made mistakes was personal. Some people would struggle with pain and hatred before forgiving and epting those who had hurt them. Others lived inMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    hatred, trapped in a deep abyss of pain, never able to let go.


    Theodore wanted to say more, but seeing Reba''s expression, he realized there was little point in continuing. Whether he would make mistakes in the future, he didn''t know. Maybe, as Reba said, he would.


    Thest mistake he made, which caused him to lose Rosalie, was already unbearable.


    Later, the three of them went to


    have dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious. Rosalie and Theodore didn''t speak much, but they exchanged quite a few nces Because they were so quiet, things turned rather awkward.
