Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 

Rebecca’s head was buzzing as the call ended. Theodore’s parents had found out about this? 

And his grandma had an episode this morning? 

She suddenly felt worried for them. 

Ever since she married Theodore, her grandparents, Sam Edwards and Melissa Edwards, had been the kindest to her, treating her like family! 

Every time they met, Sam and Melissa paid much attention to her. 

She never told them about the past because her grandmother’s health was fragile, and she was afraid it would negatively impact her. 

But now, they knew everything. 

Rebecca just hoped they were alright. 

“Becky, what’s wrong?” Debra asked cautiously, sensing something was off with her daughter. 

Rebecca hesitated for a moment before explaining to Debra that Theodore’s grandparents were coming. 

Debra frowned as she heard the news, “Theodore rushed out this morning. Do you think it was because his grandma suddenly fell ill?” 

But her expression quickly changed to displeasure. “Anyway, Becky, we can’t keep someone like Theodore. When his grandparents come tonight, don’t let them sway you. We still need to go through with the divorce. You’ve got at whole life ahead of you. Don’t let this jerk hold you back!” 

Rebecca looked at her mother, feeling grateful and happy to have her. She was truly lucky to have found her mother. 

That evening, Sam and Melissa arrived with Theodore along with them. 

They quickly looked at Rebecca as soon as they entered the room. Seeing her still in her coat, sitting on the bed with the baby in her arms, they felt a mix of joy and heartache. 

“Theodore, get over here and apologize to your wife!” Melissa walked over to the bedside and scolded his grandson harshly. 

Rebecca was surprised. Melissa was…making Theodore apologize to her? 

Theodore looked at Rebecca, and she also looked back.

After a moment, he said, “I’m sorry.” 

Melissa suddenly swung her cane, cracking it against Theodore’s shin. “Keep your head down!” 

Apologizing shouldn’t be done so arrogantly. 

He needed to show sincerity and mean it! 

Theodore was stunned by the sudden blow. He looked at Melissa, shocked.. 

Holding the cane, Melissa scolded, “What are you looking at? Just because you’re a grown man doesn’t mean I can’t teach you a lesson! 

“Now, apologize to your wife!” Melissa urged again, her voice stern. “And mean it this time! 

Though Theodore felt frustrated, he didn’t dare to defy her. He turned to Rebecca, lowered his head, and apologized, “I’m sorry, Rebecca.” 

After Theodore apologized, Melissa finally grunted, feeling a bit more satisfied. 

Sam, meanwhile, was already stealing glances at his great–grandchildren. He clearly loved the kids. 

Melissa walked over, her eyes sweeping over Rebecca and the kids. The longer she looked, the wider her smile grew. These were her great–grandchildren! 

“Rebecca, don’t be scared of him. This marriage isn’t ending. As long as I’m breathing, he won’t even think about. divorce! 

“You married him when he was in a vegetative state, took care of him every day, and brought him back from the brink of death. You saved his life. If he dares to let you down, I swear on my life, I’ll beat him to death. My grandson better not be ungrateful, or I’ll be turning in my grave.” 

Melissa sat down by the bed and earnestly tried to comfort Rebecca. 

She was just as protective of Rebecca as always, but Debra, standing nearby, couldn’t hold back any longer. How could they not get a divorce? 

Her sweet daughter had her whole life ahead of her. She couldn’t be tied down to that good–for–nothing Theodore. 

“Ma’am, I have to say I disagree. Rebecca and Theodore are young. If they’re not happy together anymore, why force it? They’ll both end up miserable. Don’t you think?” Debra spoke up. 

Hearing this, Melissa paused and looked up at Debra. 

Rebecca quickly introduced, “Grandma, Um… Debra is my friend.”

“Debra, this is Theodore’s grandmother, Melissa,” Rebecca said, introducing to her mom as well.

At that moment, they silently agreed to keep their true connection under wraps, not wanting the Edwards family to know who they really were. 

“Friend?” Melissa 

stammered, confused. “Rebecca, how can you two be friends with such a big age o 

“Just because I’m older doesn’t mean I can’t be friends with Rebeccal I could be eighty and still be besties with a six–year–old!” Debra had never liked the Edwards, and Melissa’s questioning of her relationship with Rebecca just fueled her annoyance. She fired back without hesitation. 

“That’s called intergenerational friendship!” Theodore’s grandfather suddenly chimed in from the side.
