"Hello.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Rebecca nearby, Rosalie couldn't afford to sound too distant when talking to Theodore.
So, she had to warmly say, "Honey, it's me." Hearing Rosalie's tone, Theodore frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. What's up?" "When are you coming to Grandma's place?" Theodore glanced at his watch. "I'll clater." "Can you cearlier?" "Why the rush? It's still early." "I just want you to cearlier and spend more twith Grandma.
"Is that Grandma's request?" Rosalie responded with a hum.
"In that case, you can tell her I'll clater." "But..." "Have you forgotten what you said earlier? You've been patient withfor a long time. It'll be more comfortable for you if I clater, so you won't have trouble eating." After saying that, Theodore abruptly hung up, as though sulking and holding her to her words.

"What did he say?" Rebecca asked curiously.

Seeing that Rebecca looked tired, Rosalie said, "Grandma, lethelp you back to your room so you can rest for a while." "Okay." They would all need senergy for dinner later, so it was wise to rest beforehand.
After escorting Rebecca back to her room and tucking her in, Rosalie left. At the door, she immediately took out her phone and sent a text message.
[I hope that our issues won't affect Grandma. She really wants to see. you, so please don't let your feelings towardsaffect her. I have already assured her that you-will cas soon as possible. Whatever you feel about me, it's up to you to handle.] Theodore didn't reply to her message. However, he arrived at the manor less than an hour later to find Rosalie busy knitting a scarf.
Rebecca liked to knit when she was bored, and she would often teach Rosalie. So, she would sometimes continue knitting the old woman's projects on her behalf.
Rosalie was knitting so intently that she didn't notice Theodore's arrival until the tall man sat down next to her, startling her. One of the knitting needles pierced her finger, and though it had a rounded tip and normally wouldn't cause much pain even if one was pricked, Rosalie had been startled so badly that she had jabbed her finger a little too forcefully.
