Chapter 516
“Grandma, I need to use the restroom.”
Rosalie put down her cutlery, and stood up to leave.
After Rosalie left, Rebecca turned to Theodore. “Why are you sitting there like you’re mute? You should’ve said something!”
Theodore smiled bitterly. “What could I say? Even if I agreed, Rose might not. She doesn’t want to be close to me, so even pretending will be stressful for her.”
That was why he hadn’t said anything. No matter what he said, it would only make her uncomfortable. He didn’t mind telling Rebecca, because he knew she understood deep down. Hiding it only give everyone more pressure.
Rebecca sighed. This was exactly what she had expected. “Rose treating you this way now is your own fault. You lost a good wife, just like your father. Why don’t you ever learn?”
“I don’t know why. Maybe it’s human nature. We know it’s wrong, but we do it anyway. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many wars,” Theodore replied helplessly.
Rebecca shook her head in resignation. “I’m tired of reprimanding you. Have you thought about getting her back? You should be persistent. Rose is kind and soft-hearted. If you stick around, she’ll eventually come back.”
“Grandma, she won’t come back. She’s already…”
He wanted to say she had already married Sebastian, but Rebecca probably didn’t know about this. Telling her might upset her.
“Already what?” Rebecca looked uneasy. “Finish what you were saying.”
Theodore continued, “Grandma, I mean… Rose was deeply hurt by me. It wouldn’t be easy to win her back.”
Seeing Theodore’s sad face, Rebecca asked, “So, you want to get Rose back? You’re just like your foolish father. You only regret it after losing someone.”
“Grandma, please don’t reprimand me anymore.” Theodore looked like a child who had done something wrong as he lowered his head. “My father was luckier than me. At least my mom is still his wife.”
“You deserve to be lectured. You lost
such a good wife! Where will you find someone as wonderful as Rose? She was so good to you. She never caused trouble, and was always considerate of you. Even when you were too busy to be with
her, she didn’t cling to you
She’s
beautiful and hardworking. You
deserve to regret it for the rest of
your life!” Content belongs to

Theodore lost his appetite, and put down his cutlery. “You’re right. I deserve it. Let’s leave it at that.”
“What do you mean, leave it at that?”
Rebecca was angry at how pessimistic he was.
“Go get Rose back! Treat her well, and make up for your mistakes. Making mistakes isn’t scary. Not realizing your mistakes is what’s
truly frightening. Admitting and.
correcting them is what makes a good person. I agreed to your divorce because I couldn’t bear to see Rose so heartbroken? Back then, you went overboard.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“It’s too late. It’s all too late,” Theodore said, filled with anguish.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why too late? You’ve only been divorced for a short time. Act quickly before someone else takes her. And most importantly, stay away from Cynthia. I don’t know why you were so blind, but now that you regret it, stay away from her.” Content

“Grandma, what I did before was bad, but it’s not just about Cynthia anymore. There are other issues between Rose and me.”
