"Why do you think I wouldn''t agree?" Theodore asked.


    "It''s not that I think you wouldn''t agree. It''s that I don''t know if you would, so I wanted to ask you privately," Rosalie exined.


    "You''re very cautious. Can I take this to mean you care about my feelings? Otherwise, you could have just said that since she''s my grandmother, it''s my responsibility to fulfill her wish."


    "Don''t misunderstand. It has nothing to do with caring about your feelings. I just think it''s a matter of courtesy. We''re divorced, and things aren''t the same as before. Besides, visiting your grandmother is a responsibility, but you''re not obligated to fulfill herpetitive desires. You can refuse, and that doesn''t make you a bad grandson," she retorted calmly.


    "So, you think Grandma shouldn''tpare us to others?"


    "It doesn''t matter. It has already happened. I understand her feelings, so if I have the ability to fulfill her wish, I''m willing to do it."


    "Aren''t you afraid that she might demand more in the future?"


    "No matter what she demands, the most she can do is make us meet. As long as we both know how we feel, then it doesn''t matter."


    The real meaning behind her words was heavier than they sounded. Thest sentence was often heard between lovers, implying that their mutual knowledge of their love was enough regardless of others'' opinions.


    But now,ing from Rosalie, it meant the opposite that their rtionship was beyond repair.


    Their courtesy with each other was just for Reba''s sake, like a rug covering a messy floor. Lifting it would reveal the mess, and things might even get worse.


    "Yes, we both know how we feel," Theodore said with a tone full of regret and resignation.


    "So, do you want to go?" Rosalie asked cautiously.


    "This is something I can manage," Theodore said. "There''s no problem, as long as you''re okay with it."


    He would do anything to spend time


    with Rosalie, even if it meant braving storms, let alone attending a wedding. They were worried the other might not want to attend the wedding, but in reality, both were willing.


    Rosalie nodded. "Alright, but we''ll have

    tany wrong ideas. Its


    an act."


    She thought it was best toy everything out to avoid misunderstandingster.


    "Understood," Theodore said, though he thought to himself that he


    wouldn''t have any delusions about Rosalie anymore. All he felt now was heartbreak.


    "Then that''s settled. We''ll go out and tell Grandma we''ll attend the wedding as a couple."


    "Okay.” Theodore said. "Anything else?"


    Rosalie shook her head. "No, let''s go back. I don''t want to keep Grandma waiting."Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Just as she was about to open the door, Theodore suddenly grabbed her hand. "Wait a minute."


    Rosalie looked up. She tried to pull her hand back, but he gripped it even tighter.


    She had a bad feeling. "What are you trying to do now?"
