Chapter 308
Rosalie planned to go to another city to give birth in secret soon. Before leaving, she wanted to spend more time with her grandmother. Thus, she went to visit Rebecca the next day.
Rebecca frowned slightly upon seeing her. “Rose, why are you here again?”
“Grandma, what do you mean by ‘here again?” Rosalie pouted
unhappily. “It sounds like you’re tired of me. Didn’t you say that no matter what, I’m your granddaughter? Don’t you love me anymore?”
Rosalie said this on purpose; in reality, she wasn’t upset at all. She didn’t think that her grandmother would be annoyed by her as well, and was just being playful.
Rebecca smiled. “How could I not love you, Rose? I’m just worried about you being tired from all that running around.”
“I’m not tired.” Rosalie sat beside Rebecca, holding her arm. “Visiting
you makes me especially energetic and happy!”
“Oh, Rose! There’s a reason I love you so much,” Rebecca said, satisfied.
“Grandma.” Rosalie cautiously rested her head on her shoulder, not putting the full weight of her head on her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to call you.”
‘Grandma, I’m sorry,‘ she silently apologized in her heart.
“Rose, do you have something on your mind? Tell me. Did Theodore make you unhappy again?”

“No, Grandma. Didn’t I tell you last time that I wanted to travel for a
few months?”
Rebecca nodded. “Yes, you did. Are you going now?”
Rosalie responded with an “um,” then said, “I’m planning to leave in a few days, so I won’t be able to see you for some time.”
Rebecca raised her hand, and gently patted Rosalie’s head. “It’s okay. I won’t hold you back. Don’t worry about me being unhappy. If traveling makes you happy, then I’m happy too.”
Rosalie felt a lump in her throat, and she almost cried.
‘Thank you, Grandma,‘ she thought.
“If you’re happy, I’m happy” were such simple words, but many people couldn’t live up to that.
Too many people said, “If you do this, I’ll be happy,” or think, “If I force you to do this, you’ll be happy later.”
Even many biological parents think that way. They didn’t realize that they were building their happiness on their children’s suffering.
Yet, Rebecca was different. She never made Rosalie unhappy, and always protected her.
“Rose, take the chance to explore the world. Remember to send me
videos.”
“Okay, Grandma. If you want, I’ll video chat with you every day so you can see me daily.”
With Rebecca being so old, seeing her more often would bring peace
of mind.
“Silly child.” Rebecca pinched Rosalie’s nose affectionately. “I don’t need that. I’m old, and I can’t chat every day. Just call me twice a

week. You don’t need to contact me every day.”
Her good granddaughter had grown up, and wanted to fly on her own. Rebecca felt the best she could do was not hold Rosalie back, and let
her have fun.
“Okay, Grandma, I know. I’ll listen to you, because I don’t want to leave you, either.”
Rosalie wanted to always stay by Rebecca’s side.
She even had an impulse to tell Rebecca about her pregnancy. She could imagine staying by Rebecca’s side, and giving birth to the baby. She wanted Rebecca to have a happy life, and to always smile.
