Chapter 83

As they reached the door, Rosalie felt uneasy.

“Mom, she only has one lung, and has heart problems too. If something happens…”

“Let whatever happens, happen. If Theo gets angry, let him come to me. And if he blames you, just

divorce him. What’s so impressive about him?” Sydney replied sharply.

“Mom, are you okay? What’s wrong with you?”

Rosalie was worried at how agitated Sydney seemed. She had never seen her mother–in–law lose

control like this, and couldn’t believe the older woman had this kind of side to her.

“I’m fine,” said Sydney, calming down. “You go back and get some rest. You need to take care of

yourself. I don’t think Cynthia is as weak as she pretends to be. I’ve seen plenty of women like her,

always exaggerating their suffering Women like her can only rely on men’s sympathy to assert

themselves.”

“Why did you call both of us out today, Mom? Was it just to scold Cynthia?” Rosalie asked.

“I wanted to see what kind of person she is. Men are all the same. They like this kind of

pretentiousness and always act as if they’re blind,” Sydney sneered.

Rosalie seemed to catch something from Sydney’s tone. Could it be that Sydney’s relationship with

Wesley was strained because of similar reasons? Did her father–in–law cheat? But Rosalie didn’t

dare to ask. Such words were hard to speak out loud.

“Don’t worry.” Sydney patted her daughter–in–law’s shoulder gently. “If

“I wasn’t speaking up for you. I just needed to relieve some work stress by dealing with a schemer

like her. If you can’t help yourself, who else will?” Sydney said coldly.

Having said that Sydney had the driver take Rosalie home before leaving herself.

When Rosalie got home, she saw Theodore undressing as soon as she opened the door. Her heart

skipped a beat and she quickly turned.

away.

“You’re back”

“I was done with work, so I came back to rest early. My injuries aren’t fully healed yet.”

“Oh, okay.”

Rosalie waited for him to finish getting dressed.

After Theodore put on his lounge clothes, he said, “It’s not like you haven’t seen my body before.

Why are you looking away?”

“Aren’t we getting divorced? It’s better not to look.”

Every time she saw his body, her heart raced, which wasn’t good for the baby in her belly.

Theodore’s physique easily made women lose control.

Theodore had no choice but to accept his wife’s words. “I’m dressed

now.”

When Rosalie turned around, Theodore spoke again, “My mom told me you had lunch with her

today.”

“Yeah, and…”

“That’s good,” Theodore interrupted. “You two haven’t spent much time together, have you?”

Rosalie was puzzled. It seemed like Theodore didn’t know Cynthia had also been there.

“We haven’t seen each other much. Your mom seems busy,” Rosalie replied.

“She’s your mom too, isn’t she? Why draw such a clear line?”

Theodore said, displeased.

Rosalie forced a smile. “Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen her much. And besides, when we’re

divorced, I can’t call her Mom anymore. It will be Cynthia who calls her that.”
