Rosalie glanced at the time. “Okay.”

She took out her phone, and dialed Theodore’s number. It didn’t take long for him to pick up.

“Hello?”

”

“Theo, when are you coming? Grandma’s waiting,” she asked.

“I still need to deal with some company matters. Just wait a bit longer,

he replied.

“Oh, okay. How long do you think it will take?”

“Not too long.”

Suddenly, a woman’s voice came from Theodore’s end. “Theo, I accidentally spilled water on myself. Can you help me change my clothes?”

Hearing Cynthia’s voice, Rosalie suddenly felt annoyed.

Wasn’t this man supposed to be at the office? Why was he with Cynthia again?

She was about to ask him, but with Rebecca beside her, she didn’t dare say much.

So she just coldly said to Theodore, “Hurry up. Don’t keep Grandma waiting.”

Theodore simply responded calmly, “Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Rosalie said to Rebecca, “Grandma, he’ll be here soon. I’ll go to the kitchen and see how things are going. You rest for a while.”

“Alright,” Rebecca said as she pushed her glasses up. “You can ask the kitchen to make the food a bit spicy. I know you like spicy food.”

“You knew?” Rosalie was surprised. She hadn’t eaten spicy food in front of everyone.

“Of course I do. But since Theo doesn’t, so you stopped eating it too. I understand. You shouldn’t always accommodate him. He should accommodate you, too.”

“Thank you, Grandma.”

Rosalie was truly touched. The better Rebecca treated her, the more guilty she felt about lying to her. What Rebecca wanted most was for Rosalie to get pregnant, so she could have a great–grandchild.

Now that Rosalie was pregnant, she couldn’t tell the older woman. If only Rebecca knew, she would be so happy.

Feeling uncomfortable, Rosalie left Rebecca’s room.

Downstairs, she dialed Theodore’s number again.

The phone was picked up, but it was Cynthia’s voice on the other end.

“Hello, are you looking for Theo?”

Hearing Cynthia’s arrogant tone, Rosalie felt disgusted.

“Where’s Theo?” she asked.

“Theo went out to buy lunch for me. I mentioned that I really wanted lunch from the other side of town, so he drove all the way to get it for me. I told him it wasn’t necessary, but he insisted. There’s nothing I can do. He’s just too good to me.”

“That’s enough,” Rosalie interrupted. “I don’t need to hear this. It doesn’t matter. I’m not falling for your act.”

“Rose, look at what you’re saying. I’m just stating a fact. I know you

hate me, but there’s nothing I can do. Theo wants to be with me. I don’t know what to do.”

Cynthia’s arrogance could be sensed even through the phone.

Rosalie smiled faintly. “You seem quite happy with him staying with you today, aren’t you?”

“Why wouldn’t I be? He’s the man I love the most! Don’t you want him to stay with you? It’s a pity he’s unwilling to do so.”

The most desirable men are always the ones taken from other

women.

Rosalie suddenly chuckled. “You’re pretty funny. Looks like you don’t know what’s going to happen today.‘

“What’s going to happen? Are you planning to deceive Theo again? Are you going to use his grandmother? That’s the only trick you have left, huh? All because he doesn’t care about you!”
