Chapter 114

Rosalie was the best at soothing Rebecca. Every time Rosalie

comforted her, the old lady’s anger would vanish.

“Alright, let’s eat first. I can’t bear to see you go hungry,” she finally

said.

So, the two of them began eating by themselves.

“Rose, try this fish with pickled vegetables. I know you love this, so I told the kitchen to make it spicy–just the way you like it.”

“Thank you, Grandma. Rosalie took a bite, and nodded repeatedly.” This is great!

“If it’s good, eat more. Don’t always accommodate Theo in the future. You love spicy food, but you do the same as him and don’t eat spicy things. It’s not like he has ever accommodated your taste.”

Even though the old lady didn’t live with them, she still knew a thing or

two.

“Grandma, Theo’s good to me. He’s just not the type to show everything outwardly,”

Rosalie didn’t want Rebecca to be angry at Theodore. Rosalie seemed like the bond that held the family together.

Unbeknownst to them, Theodore was standing outside the dining room. He was just about to come in when he heard Rosalie’s words.

Should he feel ashamed? Was he really good to her?

“Yes, Theo keeps everything to himself. You know, he’s a bit like his

father in some ways. He misjudges people easily. Sometimes, I can’t help but be strict with him. I don’t want him to make the same

mistakes as his father did, like messing things up for Sydney…”

“Grandma, what happened between Dad and Mom?”

Rosalie had never asked before, but today Rebecca brought it up, as if wanting to tell her.

Rebecca sighed. “It’s quite a ridiculous story. I don’t even know where

to start.”

Seeing Rebecca’s sigh, Rosalie said, “Grandma, is it okay to talk about it? It’s okay if it’s not. You don’t have to tell me.”

Rebecca smiled. “Oh, look at you! Why wouldn’t it be okay to talk about it? You’re also a member of the family. I didn’t tell you about this before because it’s just too embarrassing.”

“What exactly happened?”

Rebecca told her the story, “Wesley was always entangled with his first love. Sydney always endured repeatedly, but your father–in–law was stubborn. He just had to cling to his first love.”

Rosalie covered her lips, somewhat surprised. “So, Dad cheated?”

“Whether he cheated or not, I’m afraid only he knows. Anyway, because of this, Sydney had many fights with him. She even got sick from the stress, and almost had a serious health issue.

“After this dragged on for a while, they were about to divorce. I stepped in to try to handle the matter. I found that woman, Wesley’s so–called first love, to see what kind of person she was. It’s ridiculous, really. I don’t know what he was thinking! You can find a woman like her at any nightclub.”

Rebecca sighed.

“And then, that woman put up an act and made Wesley think I was trying to harm her. She argued with me, and got me really upset.

Anyway, I told Wesley that if he wanted to divorce Sydney, he’d have to leave the family with nothing to his name.”

Rosalie couldn’t help but admire Rebecca’s courage. Even with her own son, she could be so impartial and not biased at all. Instead, she protected her daughter–in–law and would even kick her son out of the family with nothing.

Having such a mother–in–law was rare. It was no wonder Sydney, despite being cold towards Wesley, still respected Rebecca a lot. That respect was well–deserved by Rebecca.

“And then, what happened to Dad?” Rosalie asked.
