Chapter 16

"Let's wait a bit longer. Grandma was in a good mood last night. If we suddenly bring up divorce, she won't be able to handle it."

"Okay." Rosalie suddenly remembered something and added, "Don't worry. When we tell her, I'll say that initiated the divorce. I'll tell Grandma that I only married you out of respect for her.

"Although you've been good to me, being with you hasn't made me happy at all. It's not your fault. I just have feelings for someone else. Grandma cares for me deeply, so she probably won't hold it against you if I frame things that way."

Even as they were about to divorce, Rosalie was primarily concerned about Theodore. She was doing everything she could to ensure Rebecca wouldn't blame him.

Theodore stirred the cereal in his bowl, not taking a bite for a long while. His lips twitched, as if he was smiling yet suppressing something.

After a long silence, he said darkly, "The way you say it sounds like that's truly what you feel."

He looked up, his eyes simmering with intense heat as he continued, " You've been enduring it all this time, haven't you?"

Rosalie clutched her dress tightly, her expression growing increasingly grim.

She had been considering his welfare, but he twisted her words to suit his own agenda. Did he intentionally misunderstand her words so that it would seem reasonable for their marriage to come to an end? "Why aren't you answering? Have you really been feeling that way?"
