NovelEnglishChapter 175 Theodore could sense that the two women wanted to chat in private, and his presence made it inconvenient for them to do so.
So he said, "I'll go grab a bottle of water." After he made an excuse and left, Stephanie finally said, "Are you two not getting a divorce?" Rosalie smiled awkwardly. "I'm afraid that's the case. We're not getting a divorce for the tbeing." "You can't be serious!" Stephanie said with a helpless look. "You two aren't getting a divorce after going through so much? Are you two thinking straight?!" Even she felt tired from just hearing about what was going on. And now, they were deciding not to go ahead with the divorce.
If this were a series, she'd definitely be cursing as she watched.

"Until when are you going to delay it? You can't possibly suffer for someone else's happiness. Didn't you tellabout Theodore and Cynthia having a rendezvous in the resort? Why aren't you getting a divorce when they've already done something like that?! I really take my hat off to you!" Stephanie said sarcastically.
"Steph, that was a misunderstanding. They've cleared the air. They didn't have sex," Rosalie explained the situation to Stephanie.
Stephanie scoffed. "That woman is capable of anything. Was that a +25 BONUS desperate attempt of hers because Theodore refuses to be intimate with her?" "Steph, things between Theo and I are very complicated. It's not a clear-cut situation. As much as I want the divorce, I have to bear with the current state for Grandma's sake." Stephanie sighed. "You silly girl. I really wonder how long you can bear with this." "Theo toldthat he'll keep his distance from Cynthia." "Trust you to believe what a man says," Stephanie said, her lips curled in a sneer. "He just wants his cake and eat it too." "Steph, Theo isn't like that." "Why are you still speaking up for him when he's gone to such an extent with Cynthia?" "L..." Rosalie didn't know what she was thinking, either. Theodore and Cynthia had gone so far. Yet in the depths of her heart, she still trusted that he wasn't a man who would fool around with other women.
However, she found it difficult to explain herself to Stephanie. It was natural that outsiders were unable to understand the decade-long relationship she shared with Theodore. The funny thing was, Rosalie seemed to be the third party in Theodore and Cynthia's eyes.
"Are you going to tell him about it?" Stephanie asked as she caressed Rosalie's belly.
"I..." Rosalie said with hesitation. "I'm not sure yet. I was so certain that we'd be divorced. I never expected things to turn out this way.
Rather than telling Theo, I prefer telling Grandma about it. She's been wanting grandchildren for the longest time, but I've been keeping this from her. I feel very guilty about it." Stephanie sighed again. "Seems tothat you're living your life for Grandma. Perhaps you might be freed only after she passes away." Stephanie immediately slapped her palm over her mouth the moment those words left her.

Rosalie shot her a faint smile, knowing that it was but a passing O.
remark. "It's all right Grandma is indeed advanced in years. Maybe Theo and I might delay the divorce all the way till she passes on."
The thought of Grandma leaving her made Rosalie very upset. If she had a choice, she would rather be unhappy her entire life if that meant Grandma could enjoy a long life in good health.
Stephanie saw the misery on Rosalie's face, and knew that Rosalie wouldn't be much happier even if she remained married to Theodore.
Dragging things out like this was detrimental for all parties, yet Rosalie was insisting on doing so solely for Grandma's sake. What a silly girl she was! "Will you continue being husband and wife with Theodore? Or will you two only be married in name, and put up an act for Grandma?" Stephanie asked.
"I have no idea. We currently sleep separately, and that might continue." "What if he goes off finding Cynthia? You can't let that woman take advantage of the situation." "But I can't be intimate with him right now. Our marriage is in shambles right now, and I'm pregnant, so..." A ligged his suboty cupidded sutad Ashburn X
