Chapter 66

Theodore looked at the torn divorce papers, suddenly realizing he

wasn’t as angry as he thought he would be; just a bit stunned. But as he slowly started to register

that he shouldn’t have reacted that way, he looked coldly at Wesley.

“Is this amusing to you? Didn’t you see that Rose has already signed the papers?” he asked his

father…

“So what if she signed? Getting a divorce was your idea, wasn’t it? Do you think I don’t know what

you’re up to?”

Wesley’s blood flowed through Theodore’s veins. How could a father

not understand his son’s actions?

“Tearing them up won’t help, you’re just wasting paper. The divorce, papers can be printed again.”

Theodore was determined to get a divorce. And he hadn’t even told his father that Rosalie was

even more eager to get a divorce than he

was.

Just looking at his son annoyed Wesley, so he left the hospital room and sat down in the waiting

area, staring at the entrance. After checking the time on his watch several times and pondering for a

while, he finally dialed a number on his phone.

“Rose, it’s me.”

“Dad, is something wrong?”

“Who told you to sign the divorce papers? Did you get approval from the family?”

“Dad, I…”

“You don’t have to explain to me. I know what happened. If he gives you divorce papers again, don’t

sign them. Do you want to give Cynthia the advantage?”

“Dad, there’s no hope left for Theo and I. Dragging it out will only hurt both of us, so I…”

“Does your marriage still need saving? You two are fools,” Wesley interrupted her. “My mom isn’t

well, but I’ll stop you. If I see you sign divorce papers again, don’t blame me for not holding back!”

With that, Wesley ended the call. Tightly grasping the phone in hist hand, scenes from the past

flashed in his mind. He couldn’t let Rose leave the Spencer family, absolutely not! It was bad

enough for him to have made mistakes he had to rectify; he couldn’t let his son repeat

them.

“Has Rosalie offended you?” a cold woman’s voice rang out.

As Wesley snapped out of it and looked up to see his wife, he quickly suppressed the despair he

was feeling.

“Sydney, you’re here.”

“How’s Theo?” asked Sydney, having only come for her son’s sake.

“He’s in the ward. Let me take you there.”

Feeling a bit nervous at seeing his wife unexpectedly, Wesley walked ahead to lead the way for

her.

Sydney followed behind him, speaking coldly, “So, you’re still a wicked old man.”

Wesley stopped in his tracks, turning around to protest, “It’s not what you think.”

Sydney smirked. “That’s what you always say. Aren’t you tired of saying the same thing?”

She didn’t even know how many times she had heard that same old

excuse.

Wesley stiffened.

Finally, he said, “It’s about Rose and Theo“, then proceeded to explain the whole situation to his

wife.

When he was done, Sydney suddenly burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny?” asked a puzzled Wesley.

Her son was in such a messed up situation, yet as his mother, she wasn’t worried at all and was

laughing instead.

“I’m laughing at how you and your son are no different. Both cut from the same cloth.”

Even when it came to her own son, Sydney was blunt. She judged actions, not people.

Wesley’s expression looked particularly unpleasant. “Sydney, let me explain…”

“That’s enough,” Sydney interrupted him. “I don’t want to hear it. Don’t waste time. Take me to see

Theo.”

Wesley sighed and nodded. “Fine.”

There was no point trying to explain now, as the situation between Wesley and Sydney couldn’t be

summed up in just a few words. But seeing his wife unconcerned about their son and daughter–in–

law getting a divorce made him uneasy.
