Chapter 48
Theodore smiled gently, not getting angry. “Got it, Grandma, I will.”
He reached out and took Rosalie’s hand, making her feel a pang of bitterness. He was playing his part so well, but in his heart, he was thinking about another woman.
Everything they were doing at tonight’s dinner was fake. Once they got back home, they would return to their broken relationship. It was sad just to think about it.
Even though her heart ached, Rosalie had to maintain a smile on her face. She played along with Theodore, gazing at him lovingly. When Theodore, who had momentarily been spacing out, turned back and met Rosalie’s gaze, he saw how her eyes seemed full of love for him.
She was really playing her part so convincingly. If he didn’t know better, he would think she really loved him. But in reality, she only saw him as a brother.
No, perhaps not even that.
She had told him herself that she had put him with him for long enough. Since she personally said it, it had to be true, right? Thinking about her previous words, Theodore’s heart throbbed uncomfortably, but he didn’t know why.
His grip on her hand tightened unconsciously. Feeling the increased pressure, Rosalie frowned and lightly kicked Theodore’s leg under the table, causing him to quickly release her hand.
Sydney, who hadn’t spoken much, said to Rosalie, “I heard you’ve graduated. Have you decided where to work? Or are you planning something else?”

“Rose is planning to take the entrance examination for a postgraduate degree,” Theodore answered for her.
“Is that so?” Rebecca looked puzzled. “Rose, when we were talking about work in the living room, why didn’t you mention that you’re planning to take the entrance exam? You said you were looking for a job on your own.”
Rosalie smiled. “I’m still thinking about things and haven’t made a final decision yet. We’ll talk about it later.”
Telling Theodore that she was taking the entrance exam was just a temporary measure. She hadn’t decided whether she really wanted to
do it.
Theodore furrowed his brows, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, as if feeling deceived by her again.
Was she really planning to take the exam, or was she just avoiding working at SK Enterprise with him? Was she intentionally misleading him? How much of what this woman said was true? It seemed like he really didn’t understand her at all.
“You should make a decision soon,” Sydney advised. “Being indecisive isn’t good. Time waits for no one.”
“Got it, Mom,” Rosalie replied with a nod, thinking to herself that Sydney didn’t seem to like indecisive people very much.
With everything going on between her and Theodore right now, especially the divorce, Rosalie was feeling troubled. She wasn’t in the mood to think about decisions like what to do after graduating. After all, everyone has their highs and lows, and it’s impossible to always handle everything perfectly.
“Rose will figure things out. There is no need to rush, lest she makes the wrong choice,” said Wesley, seeming to have a different opinion

Rosalie couldn’t help but wonder. Would she and Theodore be in similar situation in the future?
She scoffed at her own thoughts. Did she even need to wonder about the future? It was already happening now.
