Chapter 31
Theodore placed the lunch boxes on the coffee table. There were exactly two portions, one for him and one for Cynthia. When he opened the lunch boxes, he noted that the ingredients were the sam for both, but one had chili peppers while the other didn’t.
Brows furrowed, he asked, “Why did you include chili peppers? I thought I told you to not use any spices.”
His words brought Rosalie’s chaotic thoughts back to normal.
She regained her composure and said, “I just threw them in randomly If you don’t want it, then forget it.”
Theodore seemed to sense something from Rosalie’s cold tone. But upon second thought, he knew neither he nor Rosalie liked chili
peppers. So, since Rosalie wasn’t making the food for herself, it was probably just a mistake.
“Mrs. Spencer, have you had Junch?” Cynthia asked politely, her complexion somewhat pallid and fragile.
“She already ate,” Theodore answered for Rosalie..
Whenever Rosalie brought him lunch previously, she had usually already eaten at home. So, he assumed the same was true today.
“Yes, I’ve eaten,” Rosalie replied coldly.
Rosalie used to worry that eating with Theodore would delay his work, so she always left after delivering his lunch. In reality, each time she delivered lunch to her husband, she had done so on an empty
stomach and returned home hungry.
“That’s good,” Cynthia said with a gentle smile. “Thank you for making lunch for me. It smells delicious. You’ve worked hard.”

“Eat quickly, or it will get cold.” Theodore placed the chili–free lunch. box in front of Cynthia. “Here, you eat this one.”
Cynthia looked at the one with chili peppers and said, “Theo, you can’t eat spicy food. Why don’t I take the spicy one?”
“No,” Theodore said sternly. “Your health isn’t good. You can’t eat anything spicy.”
“But you can’t eat spicy food either,” Cynthia said worriedly.
“It’s okay. A little bit won’t hurt, and this chili doesn’t seem very spicy.”
Seeing the concern between the two people on the sofa, Rosalie felt like an outsider.
Previously, Theodore would never eat chili peppers. Rosalie had once suggested he try a mild one, but he refused outright. Yet now, for Cynthia’s sake, he was willing to eat anything.
It was absurd to think that no matter what Rosalie did, she was
unable to win this man’s favor, yet Cynthia didn’t have to do anything to have Theodore desperate to treat her well.
Some people are just naturally favored, effortlessly obtaining things others yearn for.
Wanting to leave quickly Rosalie stepped forward and said, “Give me the divorce papers. I’ll sign them.”
On the morning that Theodore had told her Cynthia was back and he wanted a divorce, Rosalie hadn’t felt any humiliation or hatred towards her husband. At most, she felt pain. But now, she felt humiliated, and even a bit of resentment towards him.
Theodore pushed the chili peppers to the side. Hearing her mention the divorce papers, he furrowed his brows.
“Didn’t I say some property procedures haven’t been completed yet?

We still need to wait.”
Cynthia frowned upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in
her eyes.
“Then, why did you ask me to come today?” Rosalie asked, raising her
voice.
She was genuinely angry. Was it just to have her deliver food to them?
Seeing that Rosalie was angry, Cynthia’s eyes turned red. “It’s all my fault. I wanted to see you because I was worried. Because of me, you two are getting divorced. I feel guilty, so…”
Cynthia suddenly covered her lips and started to sob. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come here. Maybe I should just leave.”
