Chapter Wife my 511-520
Chapter 511
Hearing the call connect successfully, Rosalie sighed in relief—he hadn’t blocked her number. At least he was quite magnanimous in this regard. However, no one picked up the call. After about half a minute, the call was cut off.
Rosalie sighed again. How was she supposed to take Theodore to visit Rebecca?
“Do you need something?” A cold voice sounded behind her.
Rosalie turned around to see Theodore standing there. She felt relieved. “So you’re still at the hospital. I thought you had left.”
“Why did you call me?” Theodore asked expressionlessly.
Clutching her phone, Rosalie stepped forward anxiously. “I promised Grandma I’d join her for dinner tonight, and she expects us to be there.”
“That’s what you promised. I never agreed.” Theodore’s indifferent tone made it clear he hadn’t agreed to this.
Rosalie, knowing she was at fault for promising without asking him first, didn’t get angry.
Instead, she said, “I know things are tense between us, but none of this should affect Grandma. When she called today, she was coughing a lot and sounded much weaker than before. Can we go see her together? Let’s reassure her by looking like we’re family even though we’re divorced.”
Theodore’s hands were in his pockets. “So you want us to act in front of her?”
Rosalie smiled bitterly. “Haven’t we been acting for more than a year already? Doing it a bit longer won’t hurt, especially for your biological grandmother’s sake. You can criticize me, but I hope you can be more considerate of her.”
“There’s nothing for me to consider.” Theodore’s voice was as cold as ice.
Rosalie’s heart sank. “You won’t do it?”
Theodore pulled out his car keys. “I’ll drive you.”
He had meant that he agreed. Visiting Rebecca was never something he needed to think about; it was a given.
Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“No need to thank me. I’m her grandson. It’s my responsibility. Are you riding in my car?”
Rosalie nodded. “Sure.”
Going together in the same car would make Rebecca happier.
“Do you need to explain to Sebastian?”
“I’ve already talked to him. Do you need to inform Cynthia?”

Theodore drove toward Rebecca’s residence. Rosalie gripped the seatbelt, feeling both heavy-hearted and anxious.
Their relationship was very strained.
They were always arguing and
hurting each other with harsh words. Yet here they were, about to see Rebecca together and pretend to be on good terms. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Rosalie didn’t know what to say, and Theodore didn’t speak either. The atmosphere in the car was oppressively tense until they passed a flower shop halfway.
Theodore stopped the car, and a few minutes later, he returned with a bouquet of fresh flowers. He placed them in the back seat.
Chapter 512
Soon, the car was filled with the fragrance of lilies. The scent was so comforting that Rosalie couldn’t help but say, “Grandma really loves lilies. That was thoughtful of you.”
She was sincere about her compliment.
“Grandma appreciates my thoughtfulness, but not others,” Theodore murmured as he continued driving.
Rosalie knew exactly what he meant. “If you mean suddenly declaring love, forcefully taking what you want, being domineering and disrespectful, then yes, it shouldn’t be appreciated.”
If she didn’t retort, it would seem like it was her fault for not appreciating his gestures.
“Then tell me, what should I do to make someone appreciate it?” Theodore asked.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Rosalie clenched her hands that were resting on her knees. She could feel her palms sweating. “Sometimes, if someone doesn’t want something, forcing it on them isn’t the best idea. Taking it back is.”
“I accidentally scattered it all to the ground. It can’t be taken back,” Theodore replied in a calm yet wistful tone. Both of them were staring straight ahead, but Rosalie felt things were getting really intense.
She glanced at his side profile, and realized he was tense. She wanted to say something, but was worried it would lead to another argument on the way to Rebecca’s house. Not wanting to fight, she remained silent.
Their conversation ended with Theodore’s remark about not being able to take things back. Soon, they arrived at Rebecca’s home without further incident.
Seeing Theodore and Rosalie delighted Rebecca. The two noticed that she was now in a wheelchair. The last time they saw her, she was still walking with a cane. Now, a servant had to push her out.
Both Theodore and Rosalie felt deeply guilty, realizing how much they had neglected their grandmother recently due to their own issues.
As people aged, their health would decline rapidly. Rebecca already had some chronic conditions common among the elderly. Time was visibly taking its toll.
“Grandma.” Rosalie knelt by the wheelchair, holding her hand. “I’m sorry it took so long to visit you.”
Tears brimmed in Rosalie’s eyes.
Rebecca smiled gently, and patted Rosalie’s head. “It’s alright. I know you’re both busy. You can’t visit me every day. That would be a waste of your time.”
“Grandma, should Theodore and I take you to the hospital for a check-up?”

age,
Look, I can stand.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
She started to rise from the wheelchair, but Rosalie quickly stopped her. “No, Grandma, it’s okay. If it’s comfortable for you, just use the wheelchair. There’s no need to walk.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
They were genuinely concerned. Elderly falls often led to severe complications, which were difficult to treat at their age. Broken bones didn’t heal well, and they wouldn’t be able to undergo surgery for internal bleeding either. Due to their age, it was likely they wouldn’t survive the surgery. Content belongs to

“Grandma, you really should let us take you for a physical examination,” Rosalie said.
“What for? Don’t worry about me. I had a check-up a few days ago, and everything’s the same. You don’t need to worry. So many people are taking care of me.”
Rosalie was still worried. “Can I see the report? Just to make sure?”
She sounded like a parent worried about a child lying.
Chapter 513
“You’re really clever, huh? Do you think I’m lying to you?” The old lady tapped Rosalie’s forehead lightly with her finger. “Alright, I’ll show you.” She turned to the butler. “Bring me my medical report.”
Soon, the butler came over with a report in hand. Rosalie stood up, took the report, and carefully reviewed it. After she finished reading it, Theodore also took a look. The metrics were not much different from the ones from the last check-up.
“See?” Rebecca pretended to be upset. “I’m not lying! You really thought I was making it up.”
“Grandma,” Theodore said, noticing something in the data. “Your blood pressure is a bit low.” “Really?” Rosalie didn’t catch that. “Where does it show?”
Theodore pointed to a set of numbers on the report.
“It really is, Grandma. Your blood pressure is a bit low,” Rosalie repeated, feeling worried.
Rebecca reassured them, “I know. The doctor mentioned it too, but I’m not too far off. It’s no big deal. At my age, it’s normal to have these kinds of issues. He prescribed me some medication, so there’s no need to make a fuss.”
Theodore handed the report back to the butler, and then said, “Grandma, from now on, I’ll visit you every three days.”
“Why so often? I know you’re busy. Just come when you have the time. There’s no need to come so frequently.”
Rebecca wasn’t the type to cling to the younger generation. She didn’t need them to visit every few days, but at the same time, she didn’t want them to leave her alone for too long.
Hearing Theodore’s promise, Rosalie didn’t know what to say. She wanted to commit to visiting often, but with her pregnancy, it would soon become too obvious to hide.
At this moment, Rebecca’s gaze
shifted to Rosalie. “Rose, I
remember you saying that you
wanted to go on a trip. Why haven’t
you gone yet?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Well…” So much had happened recently that her plans were derailed, and she didn’t end up going.
“What’s wrong? Is something bothering you? You can tell me,” Rebecca asked worriedly.
Rosalie shook her head. “No, nothing’s wrong. I just changed my mind.”
With Sebastian’s current state, she couldn’t leave. She had to wait until he recovered. Even if she wanted to leave, she needed to finalize the
n
divorce first. After his recent ordeal, she hoped his father would ease up and not pressure him so much.

Rebecca held Rosalie’s hand. “Actually, I’m glad you didn’t go far. Otherwise, I would worry.”
“Grandma, don’t worry about me. I’ll take good care of myself.”

“I know, but if you do decide to go somewhere, I won’t stop you. Just be sure to stay safe. You can hire some bodyguards. Theo will cover the cost.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Rosalie laughed. “Grandma, I’m not some big shot. I don’t need bodyguards.”
“You’re my precious granddaughter. You’re more important than any big shot!”
“Don’t worry. I’m fine, really.”
“Alright, maybe I’m just overthinking. You two…” Rebecca looked at Rosalie and Theodore. “How are you getting along after the divorce?”
“We’re doing fine,” Rosalie assured her. “Even thoug
Chapter 514
Rosalie didn’t want to lie to Rebecca, but she couldn’t tell her grandmother the truth about how badly she and Theodore were getting along. It would sadden Rebecca.
“That’s good, then.” Rebecca lowered her head slightly, sadness flickering in her eyes. She knew that regardless of how well Rosalie and Theodore were getting along, she couldn’t change the fact that they were divorced.
“Yes, Grandma,” Theodore said. “Don’t worry. No matter what happens to Rose, I will always help her.”
Theodore wasn’t just saying this to comfort Rebecca. He really meant it.
Rosalie was taken aback, and turned to look at Theodore. She suddenly recalled all the chaos they had gone through. It was hard to imagine they could have such a calm and harmonious moment. She didn’t know how long this peace would last, but at least they weren’t fighting like before.
“Theo.” Rebecca held his hand. “I trust that you’ll do what you say, but helping her is one thing. Bullying her is another. No matter what happens, don’t bully Rose anymore.”
Before Theodore could respond, Rosalie quickly said, “Grandma, he hasn’t bullied me. We’ve been getting along well since the divorce. You…” “Enough,” Rebecca interrupted. “I know you’re speaking up for Theo, but I also know what he has done. I believe he has been spoiled by you, Rose. You’ve been too tolerant of him, which is why he dared to make those irreparable mistakes.”
“Grandma, I haven’t…”
“Rose,” Rebecca interrupted her again. “Whether you have or not doesn’t matter anymore. I’m just telling him not to bully you. Don’t rush to defend him.”
Rosalie was at a loss for words, and remained silent.
“Grandma,” Theodore began, “I won’t bully Rose anymore. I’m to blame for all the mistakes I made. I won’t repeat them.”
Rebecca smiled. “Theo, promises
are meaningless. Few people in this world can truly keep their promises. I think you will continue to make. mistakes. Everyone does. Each time they promise they won’t do it again, it still happens.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
At her age, she saw things differently than young people. She had seen enough to know that no one was perfect. Even saints had their flaws. Everyone had their strengths and weaknesses, as well as good and bad sides. That was how complex humans were.
The choice to forgive someone
when they made mistakes was personal. Some people would struggle with pain and hatred before forgiving and accepting those who had hurt them. Others lived in
hatred, trapped in a deep abyss of pain, never able to let go. Content

Theodore wanted to say more, but seeing Rebecca’s expression, he realized there was little point in continuing. Whether he would make mistakes in the future, he didn’t know. Maybe, as Rebecca said, he would.
The last mistake he made, which caused him to lose Rosalie, was already unbearable.
Later, the three of them went to
have dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious. Rosalie and Theodore didn’t speak much, but they exchanged quite a few glances Because they were so quiet, things turned rather awkward. Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgThis b
Chapter 515
All of a sudden, Theodore placed a chicken drumstick on Rosalie’s plate.
Rosalie quickly said, “I’m full.”
Theodore looked up and met her eyes. Rosalie’s heart trembled, but she immediately looked away. Rebecca smiled at them without saying anything.
Soon, Theodore took the drumstick from Rosalie’s plate and ate it himself, as if saying, “If you won’t eat it, I will.”
Rosalie sighed in relief, feeling this was better than being forced to eat. She disliked those forced gestures of hospitality where people insisted you eat or drink even if you didn’t want to, making you seem rude if you refused.
At the very least, Theodore had stopped adhering to that awkward social norm.
Rebecca suddenly remembered something, and said, “By the way, I need both of you to help me with something.”
“What is it, Grandma? Just tell us,” Rosalie said.
“I have an old friend whose granddaughter is getting married. She invited me to the wedding, but I’ve been feeling a bit tired and don’t want to go. It would be noisy, too. So, I told her I would ask if my grandson and granddaughter-in-law would go in my place,” Rebecca explained.
By now, both of them understood what Rebecca meant.
“Grandma, Theo and I are already divorced,” Rosalie said hesitantly.

Rebecca smiled awkwardly. “I didn’t tell her about your divorce. Honestly, even though we’re old, we still compare with each other. At our age, what else is there to compare but the prosperity of our family? Could you both, for my sake, pretend you’re still married and attend the wedding?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
“Grandma, this…” Rosalie hesitated. “It might not be a good idea. What if they figure it out?”
“If you and I keep quiet, who will know?” Rebecca looked at her pitifully.
Rosalie didn’t know what to say. She was still hesitant, while Theodore remained silent.
Seeing this, Rebecca sighed.
“If it’s too much trouble, forget it. I won’t force you. It’s just that seeing my friends with their big, happy families makes me envious. I’m a bit vain. I’m sorry. It’s my fault for asking too much. Luckily, I told her I would just ask and didn’t agree
outright.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Though Rebecca apologized sincerely, Rosalie could tell she was deeply affected by their divorce. She still hadn’t fully come to terms with it yet.
Rosalie couldn’t bear to see her so
sad. Even though comparing oneself to others was never wise,
sometimes it was unavoidable. After all, Rebecca must feel sad that her grandchildren were divorced. Seeing others with big, happy families only made her feel worse. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
Rosalie turned to Theodore, wanting to know if he was willing to go. She saw no issue with it, and was willing to put on a show to make Rebecca happy.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
However, she didn’t want to promise Rebecca without knowing if Theodore would be up for it. After all, they were divorced. He wouldn’t necessarily agree with her.
She wanted to ask him, but she didn’t think it was good to do so in front of Rebecca. If Theodore disagreed while she agreed, Rebecca might rebuke him.
The three of them were very quiet, as if they had reached an impasse.
Chapter 516
“Grandma, I need to use the restroom.”
Rosalie put down her cutlery, and stood up to leave.
After Rosalie left, Rebecca turned to Theodore. “Why are you sitting there like you’re mute? You should’ve said something!”
Theodore smiled bitterly. “What could I say? Even if I agreed, Rose might not. She doesn’t want to be close to me, so even pretending will be stressful for her.”
That was why he hadn’t said anything. No matter what he said, it would only make her uncomfortable. He didn’t mind telling Rebecca, because he knew she understood deep down. Hiding it only give everyone more pressure.
Rebecca sighed. This was exactly what she had expected. “Rose treating you this way now is your own fault. You lost a good wife, just like your father. Why don’t you ever learn?”
“I don’t know why. Maybe it’s human nature. We know it’s wrong, but we do it anyway. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many wars,” Theodore replied helplessly.
Rebecca shook her head in resignation. “I’m tired of reprimanding you. Have you thought about getting her back? You should be persistent. Rose is kind and soft-hearted. If you stick around, she’ll eventually come back.”
“Grandma, she won’t come back. She’s already…”
He wanted to say she had already married Sebastian, but Rebecca probably didn’t know about this. Telling her might upset her.
“Already what?” Rebecca looked uneasy. “Finish what you were saying.”
Theodore continued, “Grandma, I mean… Rose was deeply hurt by me. It wouldn’t be easy to win her back.”
Seeing Theodore’s sad face, Rebecca asked, “So, you want to get Rose back? You’re just like your foolish father. You only regret it after losing someone.”
“Grandma, please don’t reprimand me anymore.” Theodore looked like a child who had done something wrong as he lowered his head. “My father was luckier than me. At least my mom is still his wife.”
“You deserve to be lectured. You lost
such a good wife! Where will you find someone as wonderful as Rose? She was so good to you. She never caused trouble, and was always considerate of you. Even when you were too busy to be with

Theodore lost his appetite, and put down his cutlery. “You’re right. I deserve it. Let’s leave it at that.”
“What do you mean, leave it at that?”
Rebecca was angry at how pessimistic he was.
“Go get Rose back! Treat her well, and make up for your mistakes. Making mistakes isn’t scary. Not realizing your mistakes is what’s
truly frightening. Admitting and.

“It’s too late. It’s all too late,” Theodore said, filled with anguish.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Why too late? You’ve only been divorced for a short time. Act quickly before someone else takes her. And most importantly, stay away from Cynthia. I don’t know why you were so blind, but now that you regret it, stay away from her.” Content

“Grandma, what I did before was bad, but it’s not just about Cynthia anymore. There are other issues between Rose and me.”
Chapter 517
“What’s the problem?”
“I…” Theodore didn’t want to tell his grandmother that Rosalie was already married. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, his phone dinged. He took it out, and saw a message from Rosalie.
[Please come to the restroom, thanks.]
He put his phone back in his pocket. “Grandma, I need to use the restroom.”
Theodore left the dining room and headed to the restroom. When he got there, Rosalie opened the door for him, pulled him inside, and shut the door with a bang.
He waved his phone in front of her. “You’re being very polite.”
Rosalie had sent him a message with “please” and “thanks,” speaking to him as if he were a stranger.
“What do you want? Do you want me to speak rudely to you?” Rosalie asked.
“I’d rather you be rude and curse at me.”
She frowned. “Do you really want me to curse at you that much?”
“Yes, I’d prefer that to you being polite. Your courteous attitude makes me uneasy.”
The more polite she was, the further away she seemed. He’d rather she hit him or yelled at him than treat him like a stranger.
Rosalie smiled helplessly. “You’re strange. Who thinks like that? When I scold you, you think I have a bad attitude. When I’m polite, it makes you uncomfortable. You’re really hard to please.”
“Yeah, I’m hard to please, but you married me, tolerated me for over a year, and dutifully acted as my wife. After you left, my world crumbled.” He hadn’t felt it much before, but now that he had truly lost her, his heart felt hollowed out.
Rosalie thought he was joking. “What world? Are you mocking me?”
“I’m not joking or mocking you. I finally understand now that I need you more in our marriage than marriage than you
needed me. After you left me, you started a new life and gained another man’s love. He’s better than me He never hurt you, and gave everything for you. Content belongs to NovelDrama.OrgThis content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“But after lost you, I was left with nothing no new life, and no good memories. I’m stuck, unable to go forward or backward, and can only watch you drift further away.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

“Let’s not talk about this.” Rosalie shifted the topic. She hadn’t called him here to discuss old times. “I want to ask you something.”
Theodore washed his hands, and asked, “What is it?”
“Are you comfortable attending the wedding Grandma mentioned?”
Theodore chuckled. “Why did you call me to the restroom to ask this? Why didn’t you ask me at the table?”
“I thought it’d be better to ask in private. After all, we both need to agree on this. If we disagreed in front of Grandma, she might tell you off.”
Theodore crossed his arms and smirked. “Are you concerned about me? Afraid Grandma might lecture me?”
“No,” Rosalie denied. “I just don’t want things to get awkward. It’s better to discuss this privately if we can.”
Chapter 518
“Why do you think I wouldn’t agree?” Theodore asked.
“It’s not that I think you wouldn’t agree. It’s that I don’t know if you would, so I wanted to ask you privately,” Rosalie explained.
“You’re very cautious. Can I take this to mean you care about my feelings? Otherwise, you could have just said that since she’s my grandmother, it’s my responsibility to fulfill her wish.”
“Don’t misunderstand. It has nothing to do with caring about your feelings. I just think it’s a matter of courtesy. We’re divorced, and things aren’t the same as before. Besides, visiting your grandmother is a responsibility, but you’re not obligated to fulfill her competitive desires. You can refuse, and that doesn’t make you a bad grandson,” she retorted calmly.
“So, you think Grandma shouldn’t compare us to others?”
“It doesn’t matter. It has already happened. I understand her feelings, so if I have the ability to fulfill her wish, I’m willing to do it.”
“Aren’t you afraid that she might demand more in the future?”
“No matter what she demands, the most she can do is make us meet. As long as we both know how we feel, then it doesn’t matter.”
The real meaning behind her words was heavier than they sounded. The last sentence was often heard between lovers, implying that their mutual knowledge of their love was enough regardless of others’ opinions.
But now, coming from Rosalie, it meant the opposite that their relationship was beyond repair.
Their courtesy with each other was just for Rebecca’s sake, like a rug covering a messy floor. Lifting it would reveal the mess, and things might even get worse.
“Yes, we both know how we feel,” Theodore said with a tone full of regret and resignation.
“So, do you want to go?” Rosalie asked cautiously.
“This is something I can manage,” Theodore said. “There’s no problem, as long as you’re okay with it.”

“Then that’s settled. We’ll go out and tell Grandma we’ll attend the wedding as a couple.”
“Okay.” Theodore said. “Anything else?”
Rosalie shook her head. “No, let’s go back. I don’t want to keep Grandma waiting.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Just as she was about to open the door, Theodore suddenly grabbed her hand. “Wait a minute.”
Rosalie looked up. She tried to pull her hand back, but he gripped it even tighter.
She had a bad feeling. “What are you trying to do now?”
Chapter 520
“I don’t know,” Rosalie said, looking at him sadly. “I only know that if you hurt him, it’s the same as hurting me.”
Theodore couldn’t help but clench his fists. Indeed, Rosalie and Sebastian were married now. Hurting either one of them meant hurting the other.
He wanted to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. What could they reach an agreement on in the restroom, and with Rebecca outside? It would just end badly. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
He sighed and turned, opening the door of the restroom to leave.
Rosalie stood there for a long time. Her heart ached painfully. After quietly wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes and regaining her composure, she made her way back.
Rebecca was ecstatic to hear that Rosalie and Theodore had agreed to attend the wedding as a married couple.
“You’re such good children. Thank you for indulging my vanity. I feel a bit guilty. I promise I won’t compare anymore next time. At my age, being vain is really shameful.”
Rosalie comforted her, “Grandma, don’t feel guilty. We’re happy to do something for you.”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You really are good children.” Rebecca knew they must have had a private discussion and, apparently, it wasn’t a quarrel. It was good; at least they could talk things out properly now.
After dinner, Theodore and Rosalie chatted with Rebecca for a long time.
Before they knew it, it was very late, and it was time for them to leave. Rebecca reluctantly saw them to the door.
“Theo, make sure you get Rose home safely. If she loses even a single strand of hair, I won’t forgive you,” Rebecca said sternly.
Theodore replied, “Grandma, don’t worry. I’ll make sure she gets home safely.”
“Don’t bully Rose and don’t be harsh with her, understand?” Rebecca seemed to have no trust in Theodore.
Rosalie stepped forward. “Grandma, we were fine on the way here. Don’t worry. I’ll call you when we get back. If he bullies me, I’ll tell you.”
“Yes, you must! Don’t protect him.

Regardless of whether they were married or divorced, Rebecca would always side with Rosalie.
Rosalie felt warmth in her heart. “I got it, Grandma. I will.”
Despite agreeing, Rosalie had never spoken ill of Theodore to Rebecca, even though she had been deeply hurt by him. She had always bottled up her frustrations alone.
Theodore drove Rosalie back.
The drive was very quiet, until Theodore suddenly spoke up. “Should I take you back to the hospital? Or somewhere else?”
Rosalie replied, “Back to the hospital, thank you.”
“Are you planning to stay at the hospital for a month to accompany Sebastian?”
“Yes, I’ll stay with him at the hospital until he’s discharged.” she replied.
“No wonder you look unwell. Taking care of him in the hospital every day must mean you can’t rest properly.”
Thinking about Rosalie taking care
of Sebastian, Theodore involuntarily tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He couldn’t bear for her to do such things, but now, another man enjoyed it as if it were his right. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
