"What's the problem?" "I..." Theodore didn't want to tell his grandmother that Rosalie was already married. Just as he was thinking of an excuse, his phone dinged. He took it out, and saw a message from Rosalie. [Please cto the restroom, thanks.] He put his phone back in his pocket. "Grandma, I need to use the restroom." Theodore left the dining room and headed to the restroom. When he got there, Rosalie opened the door for him, pulled him inside, and shut the door with a bang.

"What do you want? Do you wantto speak rudely to you?" Rosalie asked.
"I'd rather you be rude and curse at me." She frowned. "Do you really wantto curse at you that much?" "Yes, I'd prefer that to you being polite. Your courteous attitude makesuneasy." The more polite she was, the further away she seemed. He'd rather she hit him or yelled at him than treat him like a stranger.
Rosalie smiled helplessly. "You're strange. Who thinks like that? When I scold you, you think I have a bad attitude. When I'm polite, it makes you uncomfortable. You're really hard to please." "Yeah, I'm hard to please, but you married me, toleratedfor over a year, and dutifully acted as my wife. After you left, my world crumbled." He hadn't felt it much before, but now that he had truly lost her, his heart felt hollowed out.

I finally understand now that I need you more in our marriage than you needed me. After you left me, you started a new life and gained another man's love. He's better thanHe never hurt you, and gave everything for you.
"But after lost you, I was left with nothing no new life, and no good memories.

"Let's not talk about this." Rosalie shifted the topic. She hadn't called him here to discuss old times. "I want E to ask you something." Theodore washed his hands, and asked, "What is it?" "Are you comfortable attending the wedding Grandma mentioned?" Theodore chuckled. "Why did you callto the restroom to ask this? Why didn't you askat the table?"
"I thought it'd be better to ask in private. After all, we both needton agree on this. If we disagreed in front of Grandma, she might tell you off." Theodore crossed his arms and smirked. "Are you concerned about me? Afraid Grandma might lecture me?"
"No," Rosalie denied. "I just don't want things to get awkward it's better to disquss this privately if we can." X
