Chapter 108

The next day, Rosalie found herself lying in Theodore’s arms. From what she remembered, this was

a rare occurrence. Usually, she would wake up to find Theodore already gone and she would be

alone.

Staring at his handsome sleeping face, she couldn’t help but reach out and gently stroke his face. A

strong sense of reluctance flashed in her eyes.

After their divorce today, Theodore would be free.

Feeling a tingling sensation on his face, Theodore shifted his body slightly and turned over to

continue sleeping.

Rosalie withdrew her hand, as if she had been electrocuted.

They were only going to Rebecca’s place at noon, so she didn’t disturb his rest and let him sleep

while she got up early.

It wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Theodore woke up. He felt a headache, and coughed a few

times. Then, he realized that Rosalie wasn’t by his side. She must have already gotten up.

Usually, he was the one who woke up first. But today, he opened his eyes to find her missing from

his side.

He groggily went to the bathroom to freshen up. Just as he came out, he saw Rosalie walking into

his room.

“You’re awake.”

“Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?”

“You were sleeping soundly, so I didn’t want to disturb you. We’re only going to Grandma’s place at

noon, so just have something light for breakfast.”

Rosalie had already brought some food over for him.

She continued, “Make sure you eat well at Grandma’s place later.

Theodore sat down beside her. He sighed deeply, and took a bite and picked up the apple next to

him.

Seeing his listless appearance, Rosalie asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Theodore shook his head. “I’m fine.

“Are you catching a cold? Your voice sounds a bit off.”

Rosalie was a bit worried. When she was sleeping last night, it felt like she had held onto something

cold. She wanted to open her eyes, but she was too tired.

At that moment, the phone rang.

Theodore picked up the phone and answered, “Hello. Okay, got it, I’ll be right over

After hanging up the phone, Theodore set down the apple and walked into the closet.

When he came out, he was dressed in a sharp suit. He looked particularly dazzling.

“There’s something I need to take care of. I have to go out for a bit.”

He brushed past her without a second glance. His demeanor was cold and distant, unlike the tender

affection from last night when he held her.

Rosalie seemed to have grown accustomed to his indifference. Watching his retreating figure, she

asked, “Is everything alright? We should go to Grandma’s place earlier. We should leave no later

than

ten.”

Theodore stopped in his tracks, and said, “It’s a company matter that requires my personal

attention. Once I’m done, I’ll head straight to Grandma’s place. You can have the driver take you

there first.”

With that, he moved to leave.

Rosalie stepped forward. “You’re not lying to me, are you? We agreed to go to Grandma’s to get the

resident register today. This is the closest step you’ve taken to marrying Cynthia. Don’t drag it out,

okay?”

Every time he received a call and left, it was almost always about Cynthia. Rosalie felt it was the

same this time.

Theodore reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, and opened the call log. Then he handed

her the phone. “See for yourself.”

Rosalie saw the call log, which showed that it was from Yuvan. She felt a bit embarrassed.

So, it really was about the company.

“Can I go now?” he asked.

Rosalie nodded. “Go ahead, but you must go to Grandma’s place in time. I can’t stall her and steal

the resident register by myself. Grandma’s very clever. She might catch on accidentally.”

“I know,” Theodore said. “If I’m a bit late, just let Grandma know I’ll definitely be coming.”

Rosalie responded with a nod. “Alright, go ahead.”

After they finished talking, Theodore left the room.

Rosalie let out a sigh.

Theodore had only taken a couple of bites of the apple, and hadn’t touched the egg she had

brought for him.

As she was leaving the room with the apple and egg, she saw

Theodore turn back and take the egg and apple from her hand.

“I’ll eat them on the way,” he said, before turning and leaving..

Rosalie couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

Why did she suddenly feel like he was acting like a child?
