Chapter 235
“The cheek of you to admit that you don’t come here often!” Rebecca scoffed. “You only come when something happens. You never visit regularly. If it weren’t for Rose, I’d probably die all alone.”
Theodore stepped forward, and sat next to Rebecca. “Grandma, how could you say that? I promise you, I’ll visit you more often in the future.”
Rebecca chuckled. “You’ve said that so many times, I no longer trust your promises.”
“Grandma, doesn’t Theo have something to tell you? Why don’t you hear him out?” Rosalie’s tender voice interrupted.
Theodore heard her address him, and his heart trembled. He thought/ he would never hear her call him like that anymore.
Rebecca scoffed. “Fine.”
She turned to Theodore and asked, “Well, what is it?”
Theodore looked past Rebecca toward Rosalie, and was about to speak when Rebecca suddenly stood up. “I need the washroom. I’m getting old, and I keep having the urges. Have a seat first, you two.”
With that, Rebecca left, hobbling on her cane and under Zane’s careful guidance.
After ensuring that Rebecca was a distance away, Theodore said coldly, “What are you doing here? Haven’t you eloped with Sebastian?”
Rosalie furrowed her brows at his cold, questioning tone. “Why do you think I’ve left with Sebastian?”
“It’s not a mere opinion, but a fact. You packed your things the

moment we got a divorce and left with Sebastian. Didn’t you do that to elope with him?”
He seemed upset.
Rosalie was puzzled.
She had called Theodore about making alternative arrangements for the servants in their house before she left today, so Theodore naturally knew that she had packed up and left. How did he know that she had left with Sebastian?
Sebastian’s car was parked outside, and he didn’t drive it in.
Theodore either came back just in time to see his car, or he subsequently called Anthony to ask about the situation, and Anthony told him everything he saw.
These were the only two possibilities.
“Mr. Spencer, if I had really eloped with him, why would I still be here? Can you use your brain a little before questioning me?”
Theodore lifted his hand and tugged at the knot on his tie, seemingly frustrated. “Are you not in a relationship with Sebastian? Didn’t you say that you two had been a thing since a long time ago?!”
“…”
Each time Rosalie faced Theodore, she would never fail to get angry. He was getting increasingly unreasonable to her. They were already divorced, but she still had to tolerate his bad temper!
“Theodore Spencer, don’t forget that we’re already divorced. How is it your business who I get together with? What right do you have to talk to me like this?!”
“In what way am I talking to you? Why are you so angry? Do you have a guilty conscience?”

“Why would I have a guilty conscience? You, on the other hand, are speaking so loud that you’re probably the one feeling guilty,” Rosalie rebutted.
Theodore yelled back, “Did you come looking for Grandma today to tell her that you’re with another man right after getting divorced? Had I not brought you home from another man’s place the night before our divorce, you would have spent the night with him!”
Rosalie trembled at Theodore’s increasingly ridiculous claims.
“You’re right. Everything happened in the exact same way you imagined it did. Aren’t you about to marry Cynthia? Well, congratulations. You should congratulate me, too. I’m going to marry Sebastian very soon! Are you satisfied now?” she spat.
