All of a sudden, Theodore placed a chicken drumstick on Rosalie's plate.
Rosalie quickly said, "I'm full." Theodore looked up and met her eyes. Rosalie's heart trembled, but she immediately looked away. Rebecca smiled at them without saying anything.
Soon, Theodore took the drumstick from Rosalie's plate and ate it himself, as if saying, "If you won't eat it, I will." Rosalie sighed in relief, feeling this was better than being forced to eat. She disliked those forced gestures of hospitality where people insisted you eat or drink even if you didn't want to, making you seem rude if you refused.

Rebecca suddenly remembered something, and said, "By the way, I need both of you to helpwith something." "What is it, Grandma? Just tell us," Rosalie said.
"I have an old friend whose granddaughter is getting married. She invitedto the wedding, but I've been feeling a bit tired and don't want to go. It would be noisy, too. So, I told her I would ask if my grandson and granddaughter-in-law would go in my place," Rebecca explained.
By now, both of them understood what Rebecca meant.
"Grandma, Theo and I are already divorced," Rosalie said hesitantly.
Rebecca smiled awkwardly. "I didn't tell her about your divorce. Honestly, even though we're old, we still compare with each other. At our age, what else is there to compare but the prosperity of our family? Could you both, for my sake pretend you're still married and attend the wedding?" "Grandma, this..." Rosalie hesitated. "It might not be a good idea. What if they figure it out?" "If you and I keep quiet, who will know?" Rebecca looked at her pitifully.
Rosalie didn't know what to say. She was still hesitant, while Theodore remained silent.
Seeing this, Rebecca sighed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If it's too much trouble, forget it. I won't force you. It's just that seeing my friends with their big, happy families makesenvious. I'm a bit vain. I'm sorry. It's my fault for asking too much. Luckily, I told her I would just ask and didn't agree outright." Though Rebecca apologized sincerely, Rosalie could tell she was deeply affected by their divorce. She still hadn't fully cto terms with it yet.
Rosalie couldn't bear to see her so sad. Even though comparing oneself to others was never wise,
sometimes it was unavoidable. After all, Rebecca must feel sad that her grandchildren were divorced. Seeing others with big, happy families only made her feel worse.
Rosalie turned to Theodore, wanting to know if he was willing to willing to go she lit, saw no issue with it, and was willing to put on a show to make Rebecca happy.
However, she didn't want to promise Rebecca without knowing if Theodore would be up for it. After all, they were divorced, He reed. He wouldn' necessarily agree with her. She wanted to ask him, but she didn't think it was good to do so in front of Rebecca. If Theodore disagreed while she agreed, Rebecca might rebuke him. The three of them were very quiet, as if they had reached an impasse.
