Chapter 384
Wife
âToâ¦to look for my wife, of course,â Theodore replied confidently.
âYour wife?â Sydney sneered. âWhoâs your wife?â
âMom, you clearly donât care about me, as Iâve said many times. You donât even know who my wife is.â Theodore looked down, and added dejectedly, âYouâve never cared about me since I was a kid. I hardly saw you, and I had no idea where you went.â
Sydney had wanted to trap him with her words, but her eyes dimmed with guilt at his accusation.
She composed herself before saying, âDo you really hate me, then?â
âWhat about you?â Theodore looked up. âDo you really hate me, too? You think of Dad whenever you see me.â
Tears suddenly welled up in Sydneyâs eyes.
âAlright, thatâs quite enough. Remove your wet clothes and get changed into these dry ones.â
Sydney sat next to him and wiped his face and hair before reaching out to unbutton his shirt. Suddenly, Theodore grabbed her hands and shoved her away rudely.
âWhat are you doing?â Sydney exclaimed in shock.
âIâm married. Donât touch me.â
Sydney rolled her eyes. âI know youâre married. Your wife is Rosalie Young.â
âWhy did you touch me if you knew that? How shameless,â Theodore said as he buttoned his shirt up and looked at her in disdain.
Sydney sighed helplessly.
This drunkard had clearly forgotten that he was divorced. What was the point of acting like a devoted husband? His wife was no longer his wife anymore.
Theodore was so drunk, Sydney couldnât bear to sober him up. Since he was already drunk, she would let him feel better about things. If being drunk allowed him to think that heâs still married, then so be it.
âIâm going home. Rose is at home waiting for me. Sheâll get worried if I go home late.â
He was completely immersed in his own worldâa world where he was still married to Rosalie.
âTheo,â Sydney said as she grabbed his arm. âItâs fine. Iâve told her about it. Youâll stay here for the night and go back tomorrow.â
âWhere is this place?â Theodoreâs head was spinning so badly, he didnât even know what he was saying.
âChild, whatâs going on? Youâve turned into a fool after getting drunk.â
Sydney wanted to take off his wet jacket, lest he fell sick.
Theodore started struggling against her, and warned her in all seriousness, âI said, donât touch me! Why are you taking off my clothes?â
He crossed his arms tight in a defensive stance. It looked hilarious and laughable.
âRose will misunderstand if she sees this!â
Sydney found the situation getting stranger and stranger by the minute.
âMom?â Theodore suddenly drew close to her, and said with widened eyes, âWhere did you go? How did you come back? I havenât seen you in a long time.â Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
âYou beat.â Sydney smacked the back of his head, but not too hard. âYes, Iâm back. Iâm back to see my son. Canât I?â
Theodore chuckled. âSeems like you still remember your son. You werenât by my side even when I was sick. You clearly donât care about me.â Theodore was talking in circles.
âTheo, youâre so silly. Why did you get a divorce when it made you so unhappy? Rose is slowly recovering from it, but youâre falling deeper and deeper in it. Youâre not walkinginâ your fatherâs footsteps, youâre the enhanced version of him,â Sydney said. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
