Chapter 319
Rosalie didn’t know what to say at that point. Sydney’s words seemed to make sense, and she couldn’t say anything to refute it.
“Do you still want to read through them?” Sydney asked.
Rosalie nodded. “I do, but can I bring them back?”
“Don’t bother. Just read through them here, and go back whenever you’re done. It’s tiring to take back so many documents.”
“But…” Rosalie flipped through the documents in the box. “There are just too many documents. One day isn’t enough for me to go through them all. Also, I have to analyze and think through the data, and even do some checking. I think…”
“Don’t worry about it. Just stay here overnight. I have everything you need anyway, so feel free to use them. Oh, yes. There’s food in the fridge. You can cook lunch this afternoon, or order takeout. I have something to attend to, and I need to head out. I’ll buy some clean underwear for you before I come home later.”
In light of Sydney’s offer, Rosalie had no choice but to nod her head in agreement for the sake of convenience. “Thanks, Mom.”
Rosalie shuddered when she glanced at the box of documents again. Looks like she has to stay up the entire night… Soon after, Sydney changed and left.
Rosalie sat in Sydney’s home office and pulled out the documents from the box, reading through the information page by page.
With all the complicated data in the documents, Rosalie was afraid that she might forget what she read and wanted to get some paper to jot down notes. She randomly pulled open a drawer on her right.
A photograph lay right inside the drawer.
It was Theodore in his younger days. He was absolutely adorable as a child, his eyes large, bright, and beautiful.
Rosalie’s right thumb caressed his face and lips, her lips subconsciously curving into a smile.
Her smile eventually faded as she sighed.
What a pity that such an adorable little angel ended up being such a bastard.
After putting the photograph where it was found, Rosalie closed the drawer.
It was clear to her how much Sydney cared for her son. She simply didn’t wear her heart on her sleeve, which was a trait that Theodore shared.
When Sydney returned home at night, she found Rosalie still reading through the documents. She was taking notes while pouring through the documents, marking them out, and even doing some research on her phone. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She was so immersed in the work that she didn’t notice that Sydney was home.

She wanted to see how long it would take Rosalie to notice her, but Rosalie was completely oblivious to her surroundings.
“Still busy? Did you take a break?” Sydney finally said.
At the sound of Sydney’s voice, Rosalie turned her head around. “Mom, you’re back.”
Sydney nodded. “It’s getting dark.”
Rosalie glanced at the clock, and realized that it was already seven in the evening. She had been busy with the documents for such a long time.
“You didn’t have lunch, did you?” Sydney knew that was true from the looks of it.
Rosalie’s lips twitched. “I forgot about it. There is just too much information in here, and I was so lost in them.”
“Still, you can’t forget to eat. You’re
pregnant remember?” Sydney placed a bag on the table. “I bought this for you. See what else you’re still lacking?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Thanks, I think I have all I need.”
Rosalie looked through the bag, and saw that everything she needed was inside. She was only going to stay for one night and didn’t need much, anyway. Content belongs t

Perhaps because she was sitting for too long, Rosalie felt a slight discomfort when she suddenly stood up and tried to stretch out her limbs. “Don’t keep sitting down. I’m going to prepare dinner, join me. Get your body moving. I’m sure even your baby finds it boring here.”
Sydney glanced at Rosalie’s belly.
