After Zane took the baby, Theodore and Rosalie started enjoying their meal.
"Theo, why are you just eating your food? Serve Rosalie some food. What's going on between you two? Did you two fight?" Rebecca said.
She felt like they were behaving more like strangers. Yet, they were married and even had a child. She didn't understand what was going on and had a niggling feeling that she had forgotten something important, but she just couldn't remember what it was.
Theodore immediately picked up a piece of chicken thigh with a fork and placed it in Rosalie's bowl. "Eat more. I feel like you've lost weight recently."
The look in his eyes was so tender, his tone so loving that it didn't feel feigned. Theodore wished Grandma would prod him more and give him more reasons to get close to Rosalie.
To make Grandma happy, Rosalie served him some food, too. "Theo, you should eat more too."
The 'married couple' kept serving each other food and showing each other concern. Rebecca was beaming from ear to ear at the sight of how loving they were.
"Yes, that's the way. A married couple should be as loving as you two."
Aurora gripped her spoon so tight, her fingers started trembling.
Angie didn't dare to say anything. She was used to being a keyboard warrior, but didn't have the guts to speak up in real life.
"You two ladies, please help yourselves to the food," Rebecca said in a bid to be a hospitable host. "Don't stand on ceremony."
Aurora smiled. "Yes, Madam Jarvis."
She wanted to call Rebecca 'Grandma', but upon recalling Rebecca saying that she wasn't her grandma, she hurriedly changed her address to Rebecca.
Rebecca didn't change Aurora's address of her. Now that she was of clear mind, she no longer knew Aurora and naturally wouldn't mistake the latter for Rosalie.
Dinner went by smoothly.
"Alright, you two should wash up and get some rest. Zane has your room ready, and it's right next to mine. Head in there quick."
Rosalie and Theodore exchanged glances upon hearing Rebecca's words, feeling slightly awkward.
They were divorced and naturally couldn't share a room. The problem now, however, was that they had to make Rebecca happy. If they slept in separate rooms, Rebecca would surely suspect something.
The two of them remained silent and did as they were told. After Rebecca fell asleep, Rosalie and Theodore left.
When they left the room, Rosalie said, "Go ahead and sleep here. I'll sleep in another room. We'll wake up earlier tomorrow before Grandma does."
Just then, Zane approached them and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, you should sleep in the same room. Madam Jarvis wakes up in the middle of the night and paces back and forth in her room. It wouldn't be good if she noticed something."
"Rose," Theodore said, "let's sleep in the same room. I can sleep on the couch."
