Chapter 54
âThis girl is the adopted daughter of the Smith family from Menterra. Her Zentiscape name is Jenny Smith. Jenny has loved Zentiscape since childhood and has always wanted to marry a Zentiscapen.
âMichael and Helen must have taken advantage of Jennyâs thoughts, trying various ways to get close to her. They even said they have a very outstanding son and wanted to introduce Jenny to Theodore.
âJenny came back with Michael and Helen with the idea of getting married. Judging from the situation just now, it seems Michael and Helen couldnât wait any longer and arranged for Theodore and Jenny to meet.â
Meanwhile, Theodore and the others were also led into room 406 by a waiter.
As soon as they sat down, the waiter handed them the menu and asked them to order.
Michael, with a kindly smile, encouraged Jenny to experience Zentiscapeâstyle dining.
Helen was also very happy and gently explained the special dishes of Zentiscape to Jenny, describing the picture and taste of various dishes on the menu.
Only Theodore sat opposite them. His face was stern, and he exuded a domineering and aggressive demeanor. He was handsome and noble.
Theodore did not speak, but if Wyatt were there, he might have noticed Theodoreâs impatience.
âIâm going to the restroom,â Theodore suddenly said. He stood up and walked out.
The other three in the room all looked at him, including Jenny, Michael, and Helen.
Theodore, with a stern face, walked out.
Theodore didnât head to the restroom but looked toward room 403.
He had seen Rebecca and the others enter this room earlier, so he knew that Rebecca was in room 403 at that moment.
Theodore was about to walk towards room 403, but then he heard footsteps behind him.
Theodore stopped and turned around to see Michael.
Michael no longer had the kind expression he had in the room with Jenny. His face was cold as he quietly rebuked, âWhat are you
trying to do?â

Theodore looked at his father, his face grim.
Michaelâs face was sullen, and he said unhappily, âToday is your first meeting with Jenny. Show some respect,
andâ¦â
Michael glanced at room 403 and scolded, âDonât think about people you shouldnât be thinking about.
âEspecially not in front of Jenny! Donât make her feel unhappy,â Michael scolded.
Theodore showed a mocking smile. âMichael, you really make me sick.â
After speaking, Theodore turned and went to the restroom.
Michael didnât leave. He waited at the door until Theodore came out of the restroom, then stared at Theodore as they returned to room 406 together.
When they entered room 406, Michael once again showed a kindly smile as if he were a very friendly elder.
In room 403, Debra briefly explained the relationship between Theodore and Jenny to Rebecca, just mentioning it so her daughter would know, and then she stopped talking about it.
What the Edwards family did were too disgusting. Since they rarely got together for a meal, it is disgusting to constantly talk about the Edwards family. It was better to focus on enjoying the barbecue!
After Rebecca understood the situation, she didnât mention them again. The waiter brought out the menu, and everyone looked at it, choosing their favorite dishes.
While they were halfway through the barbecue, Charlie called. Knowing they were having a meal together, Charlie was annoyed and complained loudly, asking why they didnât bring him along.
Paul picked up the phone, eating barbecue while bantering with Charlie. It was clear that they had an excellent relationship.
Everyone finished eating, and two hours had passed. Paul insisted on paying the bill, and then they all headed home together.
However, when they got home, they saw Theodore at the door.
He seemed to have been standing there for a long time, waiting specifically for them.
Debra reached out, holding her daughterâs hand, and walked towards the villa without looking at Theodore.
âRebecca!â Theodore grabbed Rebecca.

âYouâ¦youâre my wife. Isnât it inappropriate to always stay at someone elseâs house?â Theodore looked at Rebecca,
then at Debra.
He had already had someone check it out. The current owner of the villa next door was named Debra, the woman.
who had always been with Rebecca.
But regardless of whose house it was, it was inappropriate for Rebecca to stay at someone elseâs house all the
time.
With a stem face, Theodore said, âWe have our own house. Come back with the children.â
Debra rolled her eyes. âWhatâs wrong with my house? If Becky likes it, I can give this villa to her, even transfer it to
her.â
âYou!â Theodore glared at Debra, finding her unreasonable.
Theodore then looked at Rebecca.
Expressionless, Rebecca said, âTheodore, thereâs no point in me returning. If you donât want to waste time, letâs go
to the courthouse and schedule our divorce.â
Theodore was annoyed by her words. âDivorce! Rebecca, can you not mention divorce every time?â
Rebecca looked at Theodore.
Theodore met Rebeccaâs gaze, and in that moment, he realizedâ¦Rebeccaâs look had changed.
Her eyes showed fatigue and annoyance. She seemed truly exhausted. Did she no longer love him? This realization made Theodore feel uneasy.
âCarterâs Jewel is having its opening banquet in a few days. Get ready to go with me,â Theodore suddenly said,
changing the topic.
Rebecca was stunned and surprised as she looked at him. âWhat did you say?â
Theodore calmed down, returning to his usual proud and cold demeanor. He said, âYou are my wife.
Accompanying me to events is your duty. Since we havenât divorced yet, you should fulfill your responsibilities as my wife, Rebecca.â
After saying that, he left and quickly entered Edwards Villa.
It took Rebecca a while to process the fact that Theodore actually wanted her to attend the banquet with him.
Was this really a wifeâs duty?
15:47 Sat, zu.

âDonât mind him. Heâs out of his mind!â Debra cursed bluntly.
Debra pulled Rebecca back to her house.
Once in the living room, Rebecca took out her phone and sent Theodore a message.
[Theodore, we are done. Find someone else to attend the banquet with you.]
In Edwards Villa, Theodore had just gone upstairs when his phone rang. It was a message notification.
Theodore took out his phone and saw the message from Rebecca. His face darkened.
