"What''s the problem?"


    "I..." Theodore didn''t want to tell his grandmother that Rosalie was already married. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, his phone dinged. He took it out, and saw a message from Rosalie.


    [Pleasee to the restroom, thanks.]


    He put his phone back in his pocket. "Grandma, I need to use the restroom."


    Theodore left the dining room and headed to the restroom. When he got there, Rosalie opened the door for him, pulled him inside, and shut the door with a bang.


    He waved his phone in front of her. "You''re being very polite."


    Rosalie had sent him a message with "please" and "thanks," speaking to him as if he were a stranger.


    "What do you want? Do you want me to speak rudely to you?" Rosalie asked.


    "I''d rather you be rude and curse at me."


    She frowned. "Do you really want me to curse at you that much?"


    "Yes, I''d prefer that to you being polite. Your courteous attitude makes me uneasy."


    The more polite she was, the further away she seemed. He''d rather she hit him or yelled at him than treat him like a stranger.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Rosalie smiled helplessly. "You''re strange. Who thinks like that? When I scold you, you think I have a bad attitude. When I''m polite, it makes you ufortable. You''re really hard to please."


    "Yeah, I''m hard to please, but you married me, tolerated me for over a year, and dutifully acted as my wife. After you left, my world crumbled." He hadn''t felt it much before, but now that he had truly lost her, his heart felt hollowed out.


    Rosalie thought he was joking. "What world? Are you mocking me?"


    "I''m not joking or mocking you. I finally understand now that I need you more in our marriage than marriage than you


    needed me. After you left me, you started a new life and gained another man''s love. He''s better than me He never hurt you, and gave everything for you.


    "But after lost you, I was left with nothing no new life, and no good memories. I''m stuck, unable to go forward or backward, and can only watch you drift further away."


    Hearing Theodore speak these words with such calm sadness surprised Rosalie. Before, he would never have said something like this. Still, it was undeniable that


    Sebastian was leagues better than him.


    "Let''s not talk about this." Rosalie shifted the topic. She hadn''t called him here to discuss old times. "I want to ask you something."


    Theodore washed his hands, and asked, "What is it?"


    "Are youfortable attending the wedding Grandma mentioned?"


    Theodore chuckled. "Why did you call me to the restroom to ask this? Why didn''t you ask me at the table?"


    "I thought it''d be better to ask in private. After all, we both need to agree on this. If we disagreed in front of Grandma, she might tell you off."


    Theodore crossed his arms and smirked. "Are you concerned about me? Afraid Grandma might lecture me?"


    "No," Rosalie denied. "I just don''t want things to get awkward. It''s better to discuss this privately if we can."
