During lunchtime, Rebecca invited both Wesley and Sydney to join them.

Rosalie thought it would just be a family lunch, but she didn't expect Cynthia to show up as well. She had a faint feeling of what Rebecca meant by not letting her be mistreated for nothing.

She worried that Rebecca might reprimand Cynthia here, which would worsen Rebecca’s relationship with Theo if he found out.

She tried to persuade Rebecca not to do so, but the latter reassured her and told her not to worry, because she wouldn't lose her temper at the dining table.

Rosalie couldn't disobey Rebecca. Either way, Cynthia had already been called, and it was too late to do anything about it.

The five of them sat at the table, the atmosphere unusually quiet. Wesley kept staring at Sydney, but Sydney just ignored him and ate her food as if no one else were around.

Rosalie looked at Rebecca with confusion.

Rebecca smiled at Cynthia. "Ms. Zeller. This is our first formal meeting, isn't it?"

Although Rebecca was

    Cynthia smiled, and said, "I'm not yet married to Theo, so I naturally wouldn't assume the title of Mrs. Spencer. That would be unreasonable. Rosalie is the current Mrs. Spencer, and I understand that.""Understand?" Rebecca wiped her mouth with a napkin, and placed it on the table. "Ms. Zeller, you're indeed knowledgeable and reasonable enough to understand the situation concerning Theo's current wife."Cynthia wasn't dumb. She could sense the veiled implications in those words, but all she could do was maintain politeness and continue smiling.The Spencers didn't like her at all. It seemed that no matter how hard she tried, it was futile. Well, as long as she clung to Theo, everything else didn't matter. The old lady was old, and would die soon anyway.She couldn't understand what was wrong with the Spencers. Had they lost their minds? Were they stubborn as mules? They only recognized Rose. She was just a poor and pathetic woman!Among the Spencers, it seemed only Theodore was

    "Grandma, why are you bringing up that surgery out of nowhere? Cindy’s already been through a lot. You don't need to..." Theodore began. "Quiet!" Rebecca interrupted him. "I'm talking to Ms. Zeller. What's it to you?""Yes, Theo," Sydney chimed in. "Let your grandmother finish speaking. Don't get anxious. It's not like she's going to beat her up or anything."Theodore didn't know what to say, and Cynthia was extremely nervous."Ms. Zeller, is your health not so great now because of that surgery? I heard there were also some issues with your heart. Please answer the question," Rebecca asked again.Cynthia nodded. "Yes.""Okay," Rebecca continued. "Your surgery had complications because the donor's arrival was delayed, which caused one of your lungs to fail. I heard that the reason for the delay was me. Apparently, I deliberately obstructed it, and used your surgery to threaten Theo."Cynthia's face went pale. "Ma'am, why are you suddenly saying this? I don't understand what you

    Cynthia was reduced to tears. “Theo, you must believe me. I swear I didn’t say that to Rosalie.”Theodore tried to speak up for Cynthia. “She’s already explained that she didn’t say that. Maybe Rose misheard her, and there was a misunderstanding.”“Misunderstanding? Ha ha ha…” Rebecca laughed. “What kind of misunderstanding will make her think that I want to harm her? Is she refusing to admit her own words? You think Rose might have misheard her, but I’m of the opinion that she’s changing her words now.”“Ma’am, how am I supposed to admit that I said something I didn’t? I’m not lying to you, I…”“Cynthia Zeller,” Rebecca cut her off, “I don’t care whether you’re slandering me or you’re hinting that I’m the one who did it. Either way, you’re sowing discord on purpose. Let me make myself clear. I did not stop you from going through the procedure. Even if you were just guessing, you’re maliciously trying to create a rift between me and Theodore. What a wicked woman you are!”“I’m not

    Rosalie chuckled in disbelief. “I’m sorry, Grandma, but I think it’s not appropriate for me to stay here any longer. I’ll head to the hall now while you guys continue.”She really didn’t want to stay here a moment longer. She was pregnant, and getting agitated might be detrimental to her baby.“Sure, Rose. Leave this to me and go.”Rosalie then left the dining room.-She headed to the hall by herself and settled down on the couch, her blood boiling.Cynthia was clearly putting on an act—everyone could tell, with the sole exception of Theodore.So, it was true that love is blind and a man in love would certainly be biased. In the mind of a man in love, there was no such thing as logic and objective truth!Instead of blaming Cynthia for creating a rift between everyone and saying something like this, he chose to blame Rosalie for mentioning it in the first place. She was exasperated at his line of thought.After a while, she heard footsteps coming toward her. She turned to se

    “What about you? Do you also think Grandma was the one who did it?” Rosalie asked.“Yes,” Theodore answered, as his face grew cold. “Grandma did seem like the prime suspect at that time, so I thought she deliberately stopped Cindy’s operation so she could separate us.”Rosalie could feel her blood boiling. “You’re too much! How could you suspect your own grandmother? You’re such a let-down!”“How am I a let-down?” Theodore said in a suppressed tone. “As much as I suspected Grandma, did I confront her about it? Neither did I blame her nor mistreat her because of this. Is that not enough?”Rosalie was almost convinced by Theodore’s logic, which seemed sound. He didn’t blame Rebecca, despite thinking that she did the wrong thing.But… If he really trusted Rebecca, would he have suspected her immediately? Why would he suspect that his own family member would do something so horrendous?At the end of the day, Cynthia was the most important person to him.Why didn’t he suspect that Cy

    The memory of Cynthia claiming that Theodore would defend her just half an hour ago flashed past Rosalie’s mind.Cynthia had a reason for being so confident. Theodore really was defending her. Even if he knew Cynthia might have done it on purpose, he still chose to defend her.How much did he love her to defend her to such an extent, despite knowing that she slandered his grandmother?“Fine, it’s over since you said it’s over. But don’t forget: just because it’s over, doesn’t mean that it never happened.”Rosalie then turned to leave.Theodore grabbed her arm to stop her. “Wait, there’s one more thing.”“What else is there? If it’s about Cynthia, I don’t want to hear it. Let me go.”Just then, Rebecca and the rest walked in. “Rose.”“Grandma,” Rosalie said as she shook Theodore’s hand off hard. She walked to Rebecca. “Grandma, are you all right?”“I’m fine, really. We’ve talked things through about what happened today,” Rebecca said, looking to be in a good mood.Sydney and W

    Rosalie sat in the front passenger seat in the car while Theodore drove on in silence.There were a few times Rosalie had the urge to speak, but seeing Theodore remaining silent made her hold herself back.It felt like a competition in which the first to speak loses.Just as that thought popped into Rosalie’s mind, Theodore spoke up. “I hope you won’t think about what happened today again.”Rosalie furrowed her brows. “Then why are you mentioning it again?”“I just want to make things clear. I’ll look into what exactly happened with the operation.”Rosalie scoffed. “In that case, you’re admitting that you think Grandma did it even before investigating things.”Theodore said, “It is precisely because I think that Grandma’s the one that I didn’t go ahead with the investigations. Whatever it is, Cindy has already paid the price.”Rosalie sneered, “So, whatever she says is right and whatever she does will be forgiven, just because of her health condition?”“What if it were you?

    Rosalie’s grip tightened over her phone, feeling miserable. Her heart broke thinking about tears streaming down Rebecca’s old, wrinkled face.She had been keeping Rebecca company all this while, but she didn’t even realize what Rebecca was feeling. And yet, Theodore did. Perhaps she had misunderstood him all along. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about Grandma, he simply didn’t show his concern as explicitly as she did. He had never been an expressive person.Her palms started sweating. “Are we going to just keep dragging things out?” “I promise you that I’ll keep my distance from Cindy.”Rosalie found that laughable. “Keep your distance? I can’t just turn a blind eye to what you two have already done!”“Nothing happened between us!”“Don’t bother explaining yourself. I saw it clearly with my own eyes.” The image of them in the resort made pain pulsate through Rosalie’s heart.“What you saw may not be the truth.”“What’s the truth, then?” Rosalie demanded. “Was it not true t

    The two of them sat around the dining table, eating dinner as they chatted.Theodore looked disinterested as he chatted with Aurora. She could sense that as well, so she went silent and didn't bother him much.After dinner, he told her to do whatever she pleased before returning to his room. He never came out and Aurora wondered what he was doing inside.Aurora hovered outside Theodore's room, pacing back and forth many times. She wanted to knock on the door and talk to him, but she stopped herself many times for fear that he might be annoyed with her.Yerick said that he could make her get pregnant with Theodore's child.Although she managed to move to Theodore's place, he wasn't passionate with her at all, unlike in the past. He would never touch her.Aurora put her hand gently on the door as she whispered, "Theo, I'll do anything for you. I really love you."In the deep of the night, Theodore tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.He pulled out a drawer and ret

    Theodore sighed. "Rest and recuperate well. I'll send someone to find your ex-boyfriend. When I do, I'll use my network to make sure he sits in jail for a few years. I'm sure he's committed multiple crimes.""Thank you. If you really manage to find him, putting him behind bars is enough. But what should I do before you find him? He could come to me anytime. He said he'll never set me free and will kill me. He looked like he had gone mad.""I'll send someone to protect you. Don't worry.""Theo, can I…""What?" Theodore could sense that Aurora had something to say. "Just speak your mind. Don't beat around the bush.""Theo, I'm really scared. Can I stay with you before you find him? Don't worry, if you don't want me disturbing you, I won't. I'm just so scared to be by myself… I have nightmares when I sleep."Afraid that he might misunderstand, Aurora hurriedly added, "Don't worry, once he's found and put behind bars, I'll move out immediately. I'm just so scared right now. Please, I

    Theodore lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He felt a fire burning in his heart, his mind unable to stop thinking about Rosalie.Whether his eyes were opened or closed, all he could see was her.Frustrated, he flipped to his side to pull out a drawer and retrieve a bottle of pills. He couldn't calm himself down without medication.Just then, his phone rang. Theodore picked it up and saw the name on his phone screen—it was Aurora.He flung his phone aside.It kept ringing, irritating him greatly. Eventually, he answered the call. "What do you want?""Theo, save me! Save me, quick!"Shock registered on Theodore's face. "What happened?""He's chasing after me… Can I go find you? I really have nowhere else to go! I'm so scared!""Who's chasing after you? Where are you right now?""I…I'm now at… It's so dark, I can't tell. I'm hiding in a small alleyway right now. As I came here, I think I walked past a bar called Endless. I took a right turn and ended up in this alleyway. I'm

    Aurora collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed by the sudden force. Her head was pounding and she cupped her red, hot cheeks with her hands. "What…what did you do? Why did you slap me?" she asked, stunned. Yerick looked down upon her, his towering figure dark and frightening in the night. "Are you taking me as your hitman, ordering me around as you like?"It was enough that she ordered him to kill another. How dare she ask him to kill Rosalie?! She was digging her grave!"I didn't mean that," Aurora said agitatedly. "I'm just so scared! We're on the same boat, so we should help each other out.""Help each other out?" Yerick crouched down and pinched her chin. "Tell me, then. What have you helped me with so far? Why do you think I arranged for you to be by Theodore's side and allowed you to get to know him? What do you think is my motive?""I…I don't know!" Aurora said with trembling lips. The man before her was way too frightening, his eyes ghostly as he chuckled. "But I'll do wha

    Justin brought the baby home and saw Rosalie spacing out before the kitchen counter. She didn't even realize they were home."Mama," Steve called out to her.Rosalie heard him and turned to look at them. "You're back."She took Steve from Justin's hands and held him in her arms."Rose, are you alright? What did Theodore tell you?" Justin asked. "Aurora felt guilty and made Angie her scapegoat. Angie has been nabbed by the police," Rosalie replied.Justin frowned. "Angie surely wouldn't be a sitting duck. She'll expose Aurora.""That's not wrong," Rosalie said. "The problem is, Aurora is too good at putting up a facade. Theodore doesn't trust Angie and he said he'll investigate things and find out if Aurora was involved. At the end of the day, he refuses to believe that Aurora is capable of something like that. He subconsciously thinks that Angie was solely responsible.""That sounds like something he would do," Justin concluded. "Last time, I could tell he's very protective of

    Theodore turned around. "Is there something else?"Justin walked over. "Do you want to hold him? He seems eager to hug you."Theodore paused. Then, he gave a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth."No, you take him upstairs." The more he held Steve, the harder it would be to let go. He didn't even know why he felt such strong emotions for Steve. Perhaps it was because Steve was Rosalie's child, and thus, he couldn't help but care for the baby.Seeing this, Justin didn't insist. He was about to leave when suddenly, Steve started crying in his arms. Steve stretched out his hands toward Theodore, trying to reach him.Hearing the cries, Theodore's heart tightened. He turned around and saw Justin trying to soothe the child."Steve, what's wrong? Are you hungry? I'll take you back right away."Steve continued crying, louder and louder, and Theodore felt as if his heart were being squeezed. His feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move.Justin took a few steps b

    "And what about you?" Theodore countered. "Rose, when will you finally see what kind of people are around you? Sebastian's two-faced, pretentious, and full of lies. Justin has blood on his hands, with numerous enemies. He's like a ticking time bomb, and both of them will only bring you disaster."Rosalie sneered. "And how much disaster have you brought me? Do you think the mental torment you've caused me isn't enough?"Theodore gave a bitter smile. "Rose, do you want me to die to make up for the harm I've caused you?""No, I just hope you won't bother me anymore. I have my own life now. Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with you. Once upon a time, Grandma was the last connection between us, but now that she's gone, we have nothing left."She avoided Theodore's gaze. "You should go now."Theodore clenched his fists. "If this is what you want, then I understand. I'll stay away from you in the future and won't bother you again, because, as you said, we have nothing left."Wi

    Theodore was about to speak, but then he remembered he had important matters to discuss today and couldn't be sidetracked by Justin."Rose, I have something important to tell you. Let's talk privately.""If you have something to say, just say it," Rosalie replied. She knew he wanted Justin to leave, but she didn't mind if Justin knew what was going on.Theodore gave Justin a cold glance before continuing, "This matter concerns Grandma. I don't want anyone else around. It's something that should only be discussed between the two of us.""He's not an outsider," Rosalie replied without hesitation. "He can know about Grandma's matters too."Seeing the two of them about to argue, Justin immediately said, "I'll take Steve out for a walk and come back later."With that, Justin left.Rosalie quickly said, "Justin, you don't need to…""It's fine," he interrupted her. "I'll take him downstairs for a walk."With that, Justin left with Steve.Rosalie took a step back and said to Theodore, "Come in

    Aurora looked incredibly sorrowful, completely unlike someone who was acting. Theodore, for a moment, didn't know whether he should believe her or not.When Rosalie had first told him, he had only defended Aurora, completely ignoring Angie.Now, with Aurora telling him that it was Angie who killed Rebecca, Theodore couldn't be 100% certain that Aurora was not involved in this matter.It felt like a layer of mist had been added, blurring his vision and preventing him from seeing clearly.After a long while, Theodore released Aurora."Get better first," he said, turning to leave.Suddenly, he heard some movement behind him. Turning around, he saw Aurora stumbling toward the window in the ward. She forcefully pulled open the window and jumped straight down.Theodore's brows tightened, and with rocket-like speed, he rushed forward. He grabbed her from behind and pulled her back from the window ledge. "What are you doing?!""Theo, let me die! I don't want to live anymore. Just pretend I kil
