Chapter 518
“Why do you think I wouldn’t agree?” Theodore asked.
“It’s not that I think you wouldn’t agree. It’s that I don’t know if you would, so I wanted to ask you privately,” Rosalie explained.
“You’re very cautious. Can I take this to mean you care about my feelings? Otherwise, you could have just said that since she’s my grandmother, it’s my responsibility to fulfill her wish.”
“Don’t misunderstand. It has nothing to do with caring about your feelings. I just think it’s a matter of courtesy. We’re divorced, and things aren’t the same as before. Besides, visiting your grandmother is a responsibility, but you’re not obligated to fulfill her competitive desires. You can refuse, and that doesn’t make you a bad grandson,” she retorted calmly.
“So, you think Grandma shouldn’t compare us to others?”
“It doesn’t matter. It has already happened. I understand her feelings, so if I have the ability to fulfill her wish, I’m willing to do it.”
“Aren’t you afraid that she might demand more in the future?”
“No matter what she demands, the most she can do is make us meet. As long as we both know how we feel, then it doesn’t matter.”
The real meaning behind her words was heavier than they sounded. The last sentence was often heard between lovers, implying that their mutual knowledge of their love was enough regardless of others’ opinions.
But now, coming from Rosalie, it meant the opposite that their relationship was beyond repair.
Their courtesy with each other was just for Rebecca’s sake, like a rug covering a messy floor. Lifting it would reveal the mess, and things might even get worse.
“Yes, we both know how we feel,” Theodore said with a tone full of regret and resignation.
“So, do you want to go?” Rosalie asked cautiously.
“This is something I can manage,” Theodore said. “There’s no problem, as long as you’re okay with it.”
He would do anything to spend time

She thought it was best to lay everything out to avoid misunderstandings later.
“Understood,” Theodore said, though he thought to himself that he
wouldn’t have any delusions about Rosalie anymore. All he felt now was heartbreak. Content belongs to

“Then that’s settled. We’ll go out and tell Grandma we’ll attend the wedding as a couple.”
“Okay.” Theodore said. “Anything else?”
Rosalie shook her head. “No, let’s go back. I don’t want to keep Grandma waiting.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as she was about to open the door, Theodore suddenly grabbed her hand. “Wait a minute.”
Rosalie looked up. She tried to pull her hand back, but he gripped it even tighter.
She had a bad feeling. “What are you trying to do now?”
