Chapter 169 The memory of Cynthia claiming that Theodore would defend her just half an hour ago flashed past Rosalie's mind.
Cynthia had a reason for being so confident. Theodore really was defending her. Even if he knew Cynthia might have done it on purpose, he still chose to defend her How much did he love her to defend her to such an extent, despite knowing that she slandered his grandmother? "Fine, it's over since you said it's over. But don't forget: just because it's over, doesn't mean that it never happened." Rosalie then turned to leave.
Theodore grabbed her arm to stop her. "Wait, there's one more thing." "What else is there? If it's about Cynthia, I don't want to hear it. Letgo." Just then, Rebecca and the rest walked in. "Rose." "Grandma," Rosalie said as she shook Theodore's hand off hard. She walked to Rebecca. "Grandma, are you all right?" "I'm fine, really. We've talked things through about what happened today," Rebecca said, looking to be in a good mood.

Rebecca turned to glance at Cynthia. "Ms. Zeller will be heading back home. Theo, are you going to send Rose or Ms. Zeller home?" Theodore stood up from the couch, and straightened out his jacket.
Rosalie knew what Theodore would say even before he spoke. She said to Rebecca, "Grandma, just have the driver sendback home. I "Rose, I'll send you home," Theodore said as he appeared behind her. Let's go home. I haven't returned in a while." Rosalie furrowed her brows as a look of surprise flashed past her face. She turned to look at him, thinking she might have misheard him. She finally snapped back to attention after a while. "Aren't you going to send Cynthia back?" Cynthia didn't expect Theodore to say that either, and glanced at him pitifully.
"Cindy, the driver will send you home. I have something to attend to today," he said.
He had to send Rosalie home.
Cynthia knew it wasn't a good idea to bug him under such circumstances, and had no choice but to bite her lip and nod.
Rebecca smiled. "All right, head back hnow. You two can talk when you reach home." "Mom." Sydney stepped forward., "I'll head off too. I'll cand visit you again next time." "Sure, go on ahead." +25 BONUS When Sydney turned to leave, Wesley bade Rebecca a hasty farewell as well. "I'll head off, too." Rebecca nodded as she saw Wesley follow closely behind Sydney.

"It's business."

Rebecca shook her head helplessly.
"Theo, just take a look look at your father.
He's regretting it so much that your mother refuses to talk to him." Theodore said nothing further to her, but turned to Rosalie. "Let's go." He held Rosalie's hand without a word, and took her away.
Rosalie walked behind Theodore, a perplexed look on her face.
He was speaking up for Cynthia just moments ago, behaving all biased toward her and lacking in logic. Ve ther and now, there was such a sudden reversal in his attitude. Rosalie had no idea what he was thinking. X
