Theodore placed the lunch boxes on the coffee table. There were exactly two portions, one for himand one for Cynthia. When he opened the lunch boxes, he noted that the ingredients were the samfor both, but one had chili peppers while the other didn’t.

Brows furrowed, he asked, “Why did you include chili peppers? I thought I told you to not use anyspices.”

His words brought Rosalie’s chaotic thoughts back to normal.

She regained her composure and said, “I just threw them in randomly If you don’t want it, thenforget it.”

Theodore seemed to sense something from Rosalie’s cold tone. But upon second thought, he knewneither he nor Rosalie liked chili

peppers. So, since Rosalie wasn’t making the food for herself, it was probably just a mistake.

“Mrs. Spencer, have you had Junch?” Cynthia asked politely, her complexion somewhat pallid andfragile.

“She already ate,” Theodore answered for Rosalie..

Whenever Rosalie brought him lunch previously, she had usually already eaten at home. So, heassumed the same was true today.

“Yes, I’ve eaten,” Rosalie replied coldly.

Rosalie used to worry that eating with Theodore would delay his work, so she always left afterdelivering his lunch. In reality, each time she delivered lunch to her husband, she had done so onan empty

stomach and returned home hungry.

“That’s good,” Cynthia said with a gentle smile. “Thank you for making lunch for me. It smellsdelicious. You’ve worked hard.”

“Eat quickly, or it will get cold.” Theodore placed the chili–free lunch. box in front of Cynthia. “Here,you eat this one.”

Cynthia looked at the one with chili peppers and said, “Theo, you can’t eat spicy food. Why don’t Itake the spicy one?”

“No,” Theodore said sternly. “Your health isn’t good. You can’t eat anything spicy.”

“But you can’t eat spicy food either,” Cynthia said worriedly.

“It’s okay. A little bit won’t hurt, and this chili doesn’t seem very spicy.”

Seeing the concern between the two people on the sofa, Rosalie felt like an outsider.

Previously, Theodore would never eat chili peppers. Rosalie had once suggested he try a mild one,but he refused outright. Yet now, for Cynthia’s sake, he was willing to eat anything.

It was absurd to think that no matter what Rosalie did, she was

unable to win this man’s favor, yet Cynthia didn’t have to do anything to have Theodore desperateto treat her well.

Some people are just naturally favored, effortlessly obtaining things others yearn for.

Wanting to leave quickly Rosalie stepped forward and said, “Give me the divorce papers. I’ll signthem.”

On the morning that Theodore had told her Cynthia was back and he wanted a divorce, Rosaliehadn’t felt any humiliation or hatred towards her husband. At most, she felt pain. But now, she felthumiliated, and even a bit of resentment towards him.

Theodore pushed the chili peppers to the side. Hearing her mention the divorce papers, hefurrowed his brows.

“Didn’t I say some property procedures haven’t been completed yet?

We still need to wait.”

Cynthia frowned upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashing in

her eyes.

“Then, why did you ask me to come today?” Rosalie asked, raising her

voice.

She was genuinely angry. Was it just to have her deliver food to them?

Seeing that Rosalie was angry, Cynthia’s eyes turned red. “It’s all my fault. I wanted to see youbecause I was worried. Because of me, you two are getting divorced. I feel guilty, so…”

Cynthia suddenly covered her lips and started to sob. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come here. MaybeI should just leave.”
