Chapter 446
“I’m about to go on a holiday with my wife.”
“You’re going on a holiday right now? Are you sure?”
“Yeah. With my son’s wedding settled, we have put down the very last major burden of our lives. Isn’t it very reasonable for my wife and I to go on a holiday? I’ve got to go. The plane’s about to take off.”
“Carter, wait!”
Before Sydney could say any further, Geoffrey hung up. When she tried calling him again, she found his phone switched off.All text © NôvelD(r)a’ma.Org.
Sydney was furious. Geoffrey must have done it on purpose!
Flying off suddenly for a holiday and calling her right before flying off to tell her about this, then disappearing without a trace.
Sydney called Rosalie.
Rosalie answered the call quickly. “Hello, Mom.”
“Did you marry Geoffrey Carter’s son?”
“How did you find out?”
Rosalie’s words made Sydney flare up. “Rosalie Young, are you quite mad? Why did you marry his son? Do you have a screw loose?”
“Mom, I’m sorry for not telling you about this. I’ll explain this to you later. Please give me some time, okay?”
Sydney could sense that something was wrong from Rosalie’s voice. “What’s the matter?”
“I’m fine.”
Rosalie’s voice clearly didn’t seem fine.
“Where are you now?” Sydney asked.
“I’m at home.”
“Wait there. I’ll go find you.”
With that, Sydney hung up and drove to Rosalie’s apartment.
When Sydney arrived at Rosalie’s place, she found Rosalie looking- deathly pale, her eyes red and,

Rosalie didn’t want to cry in front of Sydney, but seeing Sydney was akin to seeing her own mother. She couldn’t stop her tears from falling, and her defenses came crashing down. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She lurched forward, and hugged Sydney. “Mom, I screwed up.”
Sydney’s arms slumped to her side as she stood stunned.
Rosalie sobbed hard in Sydney’s arms. Sydney didn’t need to ask to know this had something to do with Theodore.
Sydney sighed, and gently patted Rosalie’s back. “Alright, don’t cry now. Everything can be solved.”
“No, it can’t. I’ve screwed it all up. Mom, I’m going crazy!”
Sydney pushed Rosalie gently, then wrapped an arm around her shoulders and shut the door.
She brought Rosalie to the couch and sat down. Then, she passed Rosalie some napkins.
“Dry your tears. Did you forget about your baby in your belly? You’re crying so hard, aren’t you worried that the baby will end up a crybaby?”
The baby was always a soft spot for Rosalie, and she immediately wiped the tears from her face.
Upon seeing Rosalie calm down, Sydney asked, “Can you tell me what happened now?”
Rosalie recounted the entire incident to Sydney.
After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney said nothing. Instead, she went to pour herself a glass of water, drank it all up, and slammed the glass on the table. Rosalie trembled, frightened. She looked exactly like a rebellious teenager who got married behind her parents’ back.
Sydney turned around, and looked at Rosalie. “You said you screwed up because Theo confessed to you?”
Rosalie gripped the hem of her shirt, not sure of what to say.
“Had he not looked you up and told you everything he said, would you cry like this and say that you screwed up?” Sydney went on.
