Chapter 106

Soon, evening arrived.

Theodore finished his shower and lay in bed, hoping to sleep early. But no matter how much he

tossed and turned, he couldn’t fall asleep.

He got out of bed and left his room. He went to Rosalie’s door, and knocked softly. After waiting for

a long time, there was no response from inside.

Theodore wanted to knock again, but considering their current

relationship, he hesitated. Even if she opened the door, he felt like he had nothing to say. He simply

had an inexplicable urge to see her.

He returned to his room. Just as he sat on the bed, someone knocked

on his door.

The door wasn’t locked, so the other person could come in directly. However, he still quickly went to

open it because he recognized Rosalie’s knocking.

When he opened the door, Rosalie’s hand was still in the air, ready to knock again. She grinned

awkwardly. Seeing that Theodore had already opened the door, she handed him her phone.

On the screen was Rosalie’s WhatsApp conversation with Rebecca.

[Rose, let’s do a video call, okay? I want to see you both.]

Rosalie replied, [Sure, give me a moment. Theo’s in his room, and I’m downstairs drinking water. I’ll

head up now.]

Theodore understood everything. He made space for Rosalie to enter. After closing the door, the

two of them sat on the bed. Rosalie. awkwardly pulled back the covers, and tucked herself in.

“Sorry to disturb you. Grandma wanted to see us, so…”

“It’s okay,” Theodore interrupted her. “No need for that, okay? Let’s start the video call.”

Rosalie nodded and reminded him, “Try to look happy.”

Theodore grunted in agreement. Rosalie initiated the video call with Rebecca, and soon, the older

woman answered. She was sitting on her bed with glasses on.

Rebecca raised her hand and waved in front of the camera. “Rose,

can you see me?”

Rosalie replied, “Yes, Grandma, I can see you. Can you see us?”

“I can. Are you two about to sleep?” Rebecca asked.

“Not yet. Why are you still awake?”

“I couldn’t sleep. I suddenly wanted to see you two lovebirds. What do you want to eat when you

come tomorrow? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”

Rosalie said excitedly, “I really want to eat pickled fish.”

“Okay, I’ll have them buy the ingredients tomorrow morning and make the dish for you. Anything

else?”

“Hmm, let me think…”

Rosalie chatted with Rebecca for about thirty minutes. Throughout. the whole process, Theodore

hardly said a word. He remained like a backdrop, leaning against Rosalie’s side, only joining her

occasionally.

Later, Rosalie noticed that Rebecca seemed a bit tired. “Grandma, you should rest early. Theo and

I will come to see you tomorrow.”

“Alright, but you two don’t have to sleep so early,” Rebecca showed a caring smile. “Otherwise,

when will I get to hold my grandchild?”

Rosalie’s face turned red. She shyly lowered her head, and whispered, ” Grandma, why would you

say that?”

“What’s there to be shy about? You two have been married for so long.

Then Rebecca looked at Theodore, her expression becoming serious. Theo, you better work hard.

Otherwise, people might think you’re not up to it.”

A vein popped on Theodore’s forehead. “Grandma, what are you saying?”

“If you don’t want me to say it, you better step up. Have a child with Rose sooner rather than later.

Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll be happy. After all, it’ll be a beautiful symbol of your love, right?”

Rebecca wasn’t just joking around. She genuinely meant what she said.
