Chapter 404
Rosalie returned once again to the house where she and Theodore used to live.
This was their former marital home, decorated according to her preferences. They had lived happily here for a year. The house remained unchanged, but the people who used to live there weren’t the same anymore.
As they entered the hall, Sydney noticed Wesley sitting on the sofa. “What are you doing here?”
Every time Wesley saw Sydney, he felt excited. He stood up, straightened out his suit, and stood straight. Even though he was middle-aged, he still took care of his appearance meticulously.
Without exaggeration, if Wesley were to appear in a drama as a matured and handsome president, just standing there could ignite a frenzy among older women.
“Sydney, why are you here too?” Wesley asked.
Sydney frowned, feeling a sense of foreboding. Just then, Theodore walked out. “I asked them to come.”
He appeared before everyone, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, a simple and classic attire that never went out of style. He looked slightly weary, but it didn’t stop him from looking handsome.
His gaze inadvertently fell on Rosalie, and their eyes met.
Rosalie instinctively wanted to look away, but recalling Sydney’s words, she lifted her head and met his gaze directly.
She couldn’t hide. She couldn’t be afraid. The more afraid she was, the more it meant she loved him. Since she was learning to let go of this love, she should first learn to face it.
“Why did you call your father here?” Sydney asked. “Wasn’t it agreed that the three of us would meet?”
“Mom, Dad.” Theodore looked at each of his parents in turn. “There’s something I need to tell you, so I wanted you both here as witnesses.”
“Is that so?” Sydney grabbed Rosalie’s wrist, and pulled her forward. “What is it? Spit it out quickly and don’t hide anymore. You only have one chance.”
Her words were full of implications. Theodore also understood what his mother was trying to tell him.

She didn’t know, and dared not imagine.
She wanted to step back, but Sydney held her waist, preventing her from retreating. She whispered in her ear, “What are you afraid of?” Rosalie’s heart was racing. She lifted her eyes and stole a glance at Theodore. She realized that he was also looking at her.
His gaze was deep, and she couldn’t quite fathom it. There seemed to be many emotions in his eyes.
Theodore opened his mouth as if to say something, but after staring at Rosalie for a while, he ultimately said nothing.
“Why are you just standing there?” Sydney urged. “Say what you have to say!”
“Let’s have dinner first, Mom and Dad,” Theodore said. “We’ll talk after dinner.”
He wanted to spend more time with Rosalie. It was rare that he got to see her. He found that he no longer harbored any anger toward her.
“Alright, then,” Wesley said. “Let’s go have dinner first.”
Rarely did Wesley get to have dinner with Sydney. Even with others around, as long as he could see her, he was very happy.
Sydney didn’t say much, either. The few of them went to the dining room, where the food was already prepared.
“Rose, these are all your favorite dishes.” Theodore piled some food on her plate. “Eat more.”

Whatever. She would leave soon anyway. Perhaps this really was the last time.
