Theodore looked up at Sydney, confusion in his eyes. "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Weren't you avoiding her? Why do you want to contact her now?" Sydney asked.

"That was then, this is different now. Grandma's sick, and she needs to know," Theodore insisted; though deep down, he didn't want to admit he still cared for Rosalie and wanted to see her. No matter how she treated him and how she refused to forgive him-even though she had chosen Sebastian, he couldn't help but miss her.

Sydney could see through his facade. She knew he wanted to reach out to Rosalie. With Rosalie just recovering from surgery, it wouldn't be good for her or her baby to hear about Rebecca's situation. However, she couldn't tell Theodore about her pregnancy either. If Theodore found out Rosalie was pregnant or that she had undergone surgery without him knowing, it would only bring him pain.

What worried her most was that if Theodore found out about Rosalie being pregnant with his baby, both her sons and Rosalie would be stuck in a never-ending cycle. And with Geoffrey and Wesley in the mix as well, everything would just spiral out of control. Things were already messy enough.

"Mom, what is it? Do you have something to say?" Theodore pressed.

"Yes," Sydney replied. "I will contact Rose, but you cannot reach out to her."

"Why not?" Wesley, not Theodore, asked.
