Chapter 238
Zane shook his head once more. “Madam Jarvis has already made it clear that she doesn’t want to see you. You had better not come
again during this period.”
Rosalie clenched her fists, and suddenly burst into tears. Zane was stunned to see tears trickling down Rosalie’s cheeks.
“Madam, please don’t cry. We can talk things through.”
“I do want to talk things through, but…but Grandma doesn’t want to see me, and I feel so upset!”
Rosalie hung her head low, and sobbed harder. She was broken- hearted and her tears were genuine, and it made for a pitiful sight.
Zane started to panic.
Just then, a phone rang.
Zane pulled out his phone, and said, “Hello, Madam Jarvis.”
From Zane’s words, Rosalie knew that Grandma had called. She cried even harder, as if deliberately trying to let Rebecca hear.
“All right.”
Zane hung up, and said to Rosalie, “Madam Rosalie, Madam Jarvis. says you can go in. She’s waiting for you in her room.”
Rosalie cried tears of joy as she turned to head upstairs.
Rebecca was lying on the lounge chair in the balcony when Rosalie approached her cautiously..
“Grandma, these are some snacks that I made especially for you. Try them.”

Rosalie wasn’t an expert chef, and she learned how to make them by watching videos online.
Rebecca sighed. “Put them over there.”
Her tone was neither warm nor cold, worlds apart from how eager she always was with Rosalie.
Rosalie’s heart raced like a young student caught doing something. wrong, not daring to lift her head before her parents.
She placed the plate of snacks on the table and stood by Rebecca’s side, her head hung low and not daring to utter a word.
“You insisted on coming in, crying and kicking up a fuss. Now that you’re here with me, why are you keeping mum?”
“Grandma, hear me out regarding what happened yesterday. I…”
Grandma was ready to hear her out, but for some reason, Rosalie froze, unsure of where to begin.
“Why are you just standing there in a daze? Aren’t you going to explain yourself? Go on,” Rebecca said, looking all ready to hear Rosalie out.
Rosalie took a deep breath and said, “Last night, I did fight with Theodore, but there was a misunderstanding between us.”
“What was the misunderstanding about? That you stayed the night at another man’s place? Was that not true?”
“Grandma, that was true. I did stay the night at another man’s place.”
Rebecca gripped the armrest of her chair, and turned her face away.
Upon seeing the change in Rebecca’s expression, Rosalie went on,” But it’s not what you think. His name is Sebastian Carter, and we’re good friends. He’s been helping me out over the past few days.”

“Oh, is that so?” Rebecca sneered. “So that’s why you stayed the night at his place?”
“Grandma, nothing happened between us. I was feeling very low at that time, and he helped me out of the goodness of his heart. He didn’t want me to be alone, for fear that I might do something reckless.”
“It sounds like he really cares for you. Why didn’t you come to me instead?” Rebecca asked morosely.
She doted so much on her granddaughter, yet she didn’t come to her at her saddest moments. She knew that Rose didn’t want her to worry, but it still saddened her.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
Rosalie had no explanation for that. No matter what she said, the fact remained that she went to Sebastian’s. Although nothing happened between them, she was still a married woman at that time.
“Are you already admitting your mistake? Don’t you owe me an explanation? Didn’t you say that there was a misunderstanding?” Rebecca pressed further..
