Chapter 40

Theodore gently patted Cynthia’s slender back. “Don’t worry, I’ll handle. everything.”

“Is it true that I’ll never be able to be part of the Spencer family? Are we really never going to be

together?”

Thinking of Wesley’s words, Cynthia was furious. What was so great about Rosalie?! She was from

a humble background and wasn’t

worthy of the Spencer family’s protection!

Theodore frowned, his expression grave. “Let’s not think about that for now. Take care of yourself.”

“I don’t think I can take care of myself anymore.” Cynthia wiped her tears. “Theo, I don’t know how

long I have left. But even if it’s only for a short time, I’ll be happy as long as I’m with you. Whether or

not we can make our status official doesn’t matter anymore.”

“Alright, stop crying.”

Theodore didn’t say much more. Instead, he bent down to tidy up the lunch boxes on the coffee

table. He took special care with the one with the chili peppers, covering it carefully.

“Theo, aren’t you going to have lunch?” Cynthia asked.

“I’ll take you out to eat.” He put away the lunch boxes, showing no intention of throwing them away.

“It’s all my fault. She was supposed to have lunch with you. Because of my misunderstanding, that

happened. I’m sorry,” said Cynthia

guiltily.

“Enough.”

Theodore sounded impatient. Every time Cynthia apologized so desperately, he used to feel

guilty. But over time, he couldn’t help but start to feel annoyed.

Cynthia trembled. “D–did I do something wrong?”

Realizing his mood wasn’t good, and that it showed, Theodore softened his tone, “No.”

Cynthia wanted to ask about the divorce, but sensed Theodore’s darkening expression, so she

swallowed her words, not daring to ask.

Rosalie hadn’t gone far. She had been waiting nearby until Wesley came out, and she hurriedly

approached him as soon as he emerged. “Dad, thank you for just now.”

Wesley gave her a cold glance. “So, what are you going to do now? Continue living like this or get

divorced?”

“…”

Continuing to live like this was out of the question. The divorce was Theodore’s idea, but now it

seemed Rosalie needed it too. If Theodore was going to treat her like this, why bother persisting in

trying to save their marriage?

Seeing Rosalie’s expression, Wesley suddenly realized something. Are you really going to get

divorced?”

Rosalie wasn’t going to hide anything anymore. Wesley had

experienced everything life could throw at him, so how could he not see through her facade?

“Dad, you saw it too. He doesn’t love me. Continuing like this will only hurt more people,” Rosalie

said.

Are you surrendering because your worried about hurting too m people, or because you feel that

youcant compete with Cynthia” Wesley inquired.

Taken aback, Rosalie stuttered,

“Enough.” Wesley interrupted affairs, what else can be done?

Rosalie hung her head in silence

you two can’t handle your own

“Oh, remember to go home tonight and have dinner with my mother She wants to have a family

gathering. Wesley added.

When Rusallie heard Wesley mention Rebecca, she couldn’t help but feel anxious. “Dad, can you

not tell Grandma about what’s happening between Thee and 17′′

“She’s my mother. Do you think you care more about her health than i do? You need to deal with

this quickly or all come out sooner or

dill later.” Wesley repiled

Rosale modded repeatedly. 1 understand handle it as soon as possible”

Wesley’s gaze suddenly fell on the cystal bracelet on Rosalle’s wrist Nice bracelet

Rosalie felt like someone had stated her heart Gritting her teeth, she forcefully took the bracelet off

Seeing this. Wesley seemed to understand something ‘Donate it. It can help others, and you won’t

have to see it again.”

Rosalie nodded. “Okay”

Just then, a woman’s soft voice rang out, “Theo, come to my place tonight I’ve learned how to cook

a delicious dish. I want to cook it for

Theodore and Cynthia had just walked out of the office.

As Cynthia spoke, she saw Wesley and Rosalie standing there. She looked surprised, quickly

covering her lips and hiding behind

Theodore, looking fragile and pitiful as if the whole world was out to get her. Almost instinctively,

Theodore shielded Cynthia behind him. Rosalie stared blankly at the scene before her, feeling a

sharp pain in her heart. The pain spread to her fingertips, causing her fingers to suddenly felt weak.

The crystal bracelet slipped from her fingers and fell onto the hard ground.

Crack!

The bracelet immediately shattered.
