Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore) novel Chapter 518

“Why do you think I wouldn’t agree?” Theodore asked.

“It’s not that I think you wouldn’t agree. It’s that I don’t know if you would, so I wanted to ask you privately,” Rosalie explained.

“You’re very cautious. Can I take this to mean you care about my feelings? Otherwise, you could have just said that since she’s my grandmother, it’s my responsibility to fulfill her wish.”

“Don’t misunderstand. It has nothing to do with caring about your feelings. I just think it’s a matter of courtesy. We’re divorced, and things aren’t the same as before. Besides, visiting your grandmother is a responsibility, but you’re not obligated to fulfill her competitive desires. You can refuse, and that doesn’t make you a bad grandson,” she retorted calmly.

“So, you think Grandma shouldn’t compare us to others?”

“It doesn't matter. It has already happened. I understand her feelings, so if I have the ability to fulfill her wish, I’m willing to do it.”

“Aren’t you afraid that she might demand more in the future?”

“No matter what she demands, the most she can do is make us meet. As long as we both know how we feel, then it doesn't matter.”

The real meaning behind her words was heavier than they sounded. The last sentence was often heard between lovers, implying that their mutual knowledge of their love was enough regardless of others' opinions.

But now, coming from Rosalie, it meant the opposite—that their relationship was beyond repair.

Their courtesy with each other was just for Rebecca's sake, like a rug covering a messy floor. Lifting it would reveal the mess, and things might even get worse.

“Yes, we both know how we feel,” Theodore said with a tone full of regret and resignation.
