Chapter 567 Chapter 567 Rosalie looked down, suddenly at a loss for words.
Theodore went on, "Rose, whether you choose to forgiveor not, I have to remain hopeful and give it my best shot. Otherwise, I'll die in misery. Perhaps I might give up eventually, but not now. I really can't give up. If I do, I might not be able to survive." Rosalie started tearing up. She couldn't possibly feel nothing over what he said, given their decade-long relationship. However, she couldn't possibly turn around, throw herself into his embrace and forgive him just because of what he said, either.

"Theo, I don't know what to say. Why make things difficult for yourself?" "I don't find it difficult at all. This is hope that keepsalive. Rose, please don't...don't makelose that bit of hope, won't you?" "But I have the right to ask you to stop pestering me." "Can you tellif us attending the wedding that Grandma told us to is consideredpestering you?" Theodore asked.
Rosalie shook her head. "No." Theodore went on, "Rose, you'll never cut ties with the Spencer family. I'm saying this not because I think you're indebted to our family and that you should be repaying our kindness, but because you're the best woman I've ever known.
"No matter how fiercely we fight with each other, you'll never cut ties with the Spencer family. But if you don't do that, we'll continue seeing each other in all sorts of events, or even have to do things together, such as attending that wedding today.
"Rose, you said we can't be friends, and you're right. That's because aside from fove, we have kinship between us. We have that connection between us that winver be broken, even though we're not technically related by blood. Yet, your relationship with the Spencers cannot be judged by the blood.
"You are family, and now I see clearly our relationship. We're like family members with a deep grudge between us. Although you can't forgiveand cback to me, you won't ignoreif something bad happens to me. In turn, if something bad happens to you, I won't stand idly by. That's what family members do for each other- never abandoning each other, no matter how upset we are with each other." Family...

She wanted to refute Theodore's claims, but she couldn't find any reason to. What he said did seem to be the case. They were family, on top of their previous relationship as husband and wife. Although they weren't related by blood, not all families in this world were related by blood. Even people who were related by blood could end up scheming against each other, and be heartless to one another. Conversely, sfamilies may not be related by blood, but they do everything for each other and are genuine toward each other. That was far superior to sfamilies related by blood.
Cto think of it, while her relationship with Theodore ended up in tatters, they did grow up together after all. How many decades could one enjoy in a lifetime? Their youth was the most beautiful tof their lives.
Even though Theodore broke her heart and she found him to be a real bastard, it was strictly limited to their relationship. Theodore wouldn't really hurt her. Although he had misunderstood her
and even blamed her, he had paid the price for it, which cin the form of Ker never trusting him and returning ке to him again. She even married another man, and he still remained clueless about her being pregnant with his child to this day. X
