Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 

Key blinked, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Debra. 

Debra was overjoyed. She quickly ran back, scooped Kev up in her arms, and showered him with happy kisses. 

“Ah, my sweet baby, you finally called me Grandmal” 

Nearby, Lily tilted her head, puzzled as she watched Debra smothering her little brother with kisses. 

The next day, Rebecca woke up early, excited about discussing the divorce with Theodore today. 

Debra was thrilled, too. In fact, she barely slept last night from all the excitement. 

Her beloved daughter was getting divorced, and her grandson had finally called her Grandma. All day yesterday, she felt like she was floating in a sea of happiness. 

The downside of all this excitement was that Debra stayed up late last night. By the time she got up this morning, the sun was already high in the sky. 

Fortunately Rebecca and Theodore had scheduled their meeting for the afternoon, so there was no rush in 

the morning. 

They spent the morning eagerly anticipating the meeting. Early in the afternoon, Debra accompanied Rebecca to a café in the Edwards Group building, where they waited for Theodore in a private room on the second floor. 

When Theodore arrived, he looked exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes. It was clear he hadn’t been doing well. 

Seeing Theodore in such a state, Debra felt a wave of satisfaction and joy. 

However, Theodore frowned the moment he saw Debra, clearly unhappy about her presence there. 

Still, he only paused briefly before stepping inside. 

Looking at Rebecca, Theodore said in a low voice, ‘Can we discuss this matter privately? 

“I don’t want any outsider present while we talk about the divorce.” 

Debra scoffed, “Who are you calling an outsider? Just get the divorce over with. After that, we’ll see who the real outsider is!” 

“You!” Theodore was furious, glaring at Debra. 

Rebecca glanced at Debra, then turned to Theodore, her voice cold as she said, “Let’s just talk. She’s not an outsider.” 

How could her mother ever be an outsider? 

Theodore was the real outsider there. 

“Rebecca, there’s no way Charlie will marry you! Theodore said, frowning in displeasure. 

“You’re divorced and have two kids. Do you really think someone with Charlie’s background and status would consider you!” His words were cold and deliberate. 

Rebecca’s smile vanished as she stared at Theodore.

Debra scoffed, “Mr. Edwards, I never took you for a meddler 

Her comment irked Theodore further, but he managed to suppress his anger, his frown deepening. 

Just then, a waiter knocked and cautiously entered, handing their menus. 

Rebecca ondered a glass of milk, while Debra and Theodore ordered a cup of coffee. 

None of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the private room grew increasingly tense. 

Debra looked at the two of them, wanting to say something several times. However, she remembered Patrick’s advice from the night before and held her tongue. 

The divorce was something Becky needed to handle herself. They needed to see if Becky was truly ready, if she had decided to end things with that unworthy man. 

As her parents, they wanted Becky to be happy, not to control her life. 

Important decisions in their daughter’s life should be hers to make, and they needed to respect her choices. 

After a long silence, Rebecca took out the divorce agreement. She handed it to Theodore and said. “This is the divorce agreement. Look it over, and if everything is in order, please sign it.” 

Theodore looked at the document, then slowly raised his eyes to Rebecca. 

“Rebecca…I’ve looked into things and I realize now that I misunderstood you, Theodore explained slowly. 

His words surprised both Rebecca and Debra. They looked at Theodore with astonishment, then disbelief. 

Rebecca was stunned. She couldn’t believe it. Just as they were about to divorce, Theodore finally figured out the truth and admitted his misunderstanding? 

She felt a sudden urge to laugh, finding the situation almost ridiculous. 

Debra sensed trouble. Could this scoundrel be trying to pull a fast one after dragging things out for so long? 

Debra stared at Theodore warily and Theodore returned her gaze in the same manner. 

They locked eyes, both with an air of distrust. 

“When Janet first told me those things, I didn’t believe her, Theodore continued. 

“But then I had Wyatt investigate, and he confirmed it was all true. 

“I never expected Wyatt would betray me like this. 

“Wyatt is my best friend and he’s my most loyal subordinate. We knew each other since our college days and after knowing each other for so many years, I trusted him in everything.” 

Debra sneered, “So you trust your friend but not your own wife? Your feelings toward your wife truly impress me.” 

Theodore’s face darkened at the rebuke, but knowing deep down it was his fault, he couldn’t find words to argue back. 

“Rebecca, anywayowe you an apology for what happened before. Can you forgive me?
