Theodore and Chelsea stayed by Rosalie's side till late.Rosalie felt pain all over her body. The doctor prescribed painkillers with sedative effects, and she fell into a deep sleep.Chelsea was very stubborn and refused to leave, wanting to stay by Rosalie's side. She eventually couldn't hold out any longer and fell asleep on the couch. Theodore carefully carried her in his arms and left the hospital.Theodore carried Chelsea in his arms the entire trip. She remained in a very deep sleep until he reached home. He put her on the bed and pulled the sheets over her. Then, he left the room quietly.He headed to Jake's room and knocked on the door. "Jake, are you asleep yet?"Even if Jake was, Theodore had to go in and wake him up to tell him something.Jake slowly and carefully opened the door a crack."I have something to tell you," Theodore said.Jake took a few steps back to allow Theodore in.Theodore walked into the room, shut the door, and carried Jake up on the bed.Jake
The next day, Chelsea felt the sun shining on her. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself lying on a bed.She turned her head and saw someone at the bedside looking at her. She sat up on the bed in fright.Jake was seated on the chair, sprawled across the bedside.Upon seeing Chelsea stir awake, he sat up and simply stared at her in silence.Chelsea stared back at him curiously, and the two of them ended up in a staring contest.Jake stood up and ran out of the room. "Dad, she's awake."Jake dragged Theodore into the room."Chelsea, you're awake," Theodore said as he approached her. "Go wash up and brush your teeth first before having breakfast.""Why did I end up here? Wasn't I at the hospital last night?" Chelsea asked, confused."You fell asleep in the hospital. I was worried that you might catch a cold there, so I carried you back home. I'll take you to the hospital to see Mommy after breakfast."Chelsea scratched her head as she looked at Jake, still in a daze.
Curled up under the covers, Rosalie Young gently caressed her belly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.Thankfully, the baby was okay.When he came home last night, Theodore Spencer had wanted to be intimate. As the couple hadn't seen each other for two months, Rosalie couldn't bear to refuse him.Theodore had already woken up and washed up. He was wearing a gray custom suit that perfectly fit his tall and slender body, giving him an elegant and charming air. Currently, he was sitting in a chair with a tablet in hand. His fingers slid gracefully across the screen, exuding a hint of laziness and sensuality.Rosalie was wrapped tightly in the blanket with only her head exposed.When Theodore noticed her staring at him, he calmly asked, "Are you awake? Let's have breakfast.""Okay."Rosalie put on her pajamas, blushing as she crawled out of bed.In the dining room, Rosalie kept pushing her food around her plate as she caressed her belly with one hand. After a while, she
Rosalie lowered her head, smiling bitterly.What else could she ask for? She was sure she had exhausted all the luck in her life to get a chance to marry the man before her.Her parents were ordinary employees at SK Enterprise. They had been trapped in the control room during a fire, but had managed to shut down the critical systems before they died. Their actions prevented the release of toxic substances and avoided more casualties.The media had reported on the incident for several days straight, sharing recordings of her parents' last conversation with the outside world.Orphaned at the age of ten, Rosalie was taken in by her aunt, who was the only option available. However, the woman smoked, drank, and gambled. A year later, Rosalie’s aunt squandered all the money SK Enterprise had given the young girl to compensate for the loss of her parents.When Rosalie was eleven years old, her aunt dumped her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise.Clutching her backpack tightly to her chest,
"I didn't mean it that way," Rosalie snapped, feeling a bit angry.If she had meant it like that, she wouldn’t have let him touch her last night, especially since she was pregnant.Without saying anything else, Theodore carried her back to the bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. His movements were tender and caring, causing Rosalie to desperately hold back her tears.As he straightened her clothes, his large hands inadvertently brushed against her belly. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed his hand and pushed it away. Her lower abdomen was still very flat, but instinctively, she felt guilty and was worried about being discovered.Theodore paused at her actions. "What's wrong?"Was she not letting him touch her now because they were about to get a divorce?"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well and am feeling a bit dizzy," Rosalie explained, giving an excuse."Shall I call a doctor? You don't look too good."Theodore reached out and touched her forehead. S
"Yes, I still see you as a brother, just like you see me as a sister."Rosalie's throat grew increasingly tight, to the point where she could hardly produce another sound. If she could, she would have lifted the covers and rushed into his arms.She would tearfully tell him, "I've never seen you as a brother. I love you!"Instead, she restrained herself from doing something so pathetic. His heart belonged to another woman. Since that was the case, why should she lower herself and beg him like that?"That's good. Now, you can find a man you truly love,” Theodore said calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie's heart ached painfully again, but she forced a smile. "Yeah... That's great."Theodore could openly be with his first love now."Rose," he suddenly called out."Yeah?" Rosalie managed to reply in a strained tone."I..." Theodore suddenly stopped.Rosalie remained silent as she waited for him to continue."I'm leaving first. Get some rest, okay?"With that, Theodore turned and l
Yuvan straightened up and said, "There are typos in the documents. I need to take them back for corrections, sorry."Rosalie fell silent. Typos?For a moment, she had thought things would turn around for her. Hah... she was still clinging to ridiculous fantasies.After Yuvan left, Rosalie returned to her room. She didn't know how she had endured this day. She had eaten lunch and dinner properly. She hadn't experienced severe morning sickness yet, but perhaps due to excessive sadness or overeating, she vomited particularly violently that night.She cried while vomiting. In the end, she curled up on the floor as she trembled violently.It was almost midnight. In the past, if Theodore had something to do and couldn't return home by ten o'clock, he would always call her to let her know where he was. It looked like he wouldn't be doing it anymore.Suddenly, a ringtone echoed through the room.As the ringtone echoed louder and clearer, Rosalie’s ears perked up. She scrambled up from t
Rosalie's mind suddenly went blank."You're what?" Theodore asked.Rosalie closed her eyes in despair. Earlier today, he had accused her of being impatient to sever ties with him, insisting they were not divorced yet. But clearly, he was the one who was eager to be with Cynthia!"I'm tired. I'm going to sleep."The cruel reality shattered Rosalie's courage. She could never match up to Cynthia. She wasn't even worthy of being the other woman’s opponent because, to Theodore, Cynthia was the only one for him.To think Rosalie still wanted to salvage this marriage. It was truly laughable!"Alright. Get some sleep." Theodore's voice remained indifferent, devoid of any discernible emotion.After ending the call, Rosalie collapsed on the bed and wept bitterly."Theo, I’m two months pregnant," she muttered.-The next day, Rosalie woke up feeling groggy. Checking the time, she noted it was already noon. Her body felt sore as she got out of bed. Just as she finished washing up, the ph
The next day, Chelsea felt the sun shining on her. She slowly opened her eyes, only to find herself lying on a bed.She turned her head and saw someone at the bedside looking at her. She sat up on the bed in fright.Jake was seated on the chair, sprawled across the bedside.Upon seeing Chelsea stir awake, he sat up and simply stared at her in silence.Chelsea stared back at him curiously, and the two of them ended up in a staring contest.Jake stood up and ran out of the room. "Dad, she's awake."Jake dragged Theodore into the room."Chelsea, you're awake," Theodore said as he approached her. "Go wash up and brush your teeth first before having breakfast.""Why did I end up here? Wasn't I at the hospital last night?" Chelsea asked, confused."You fell asleep in the hospital. I was worried that you might catch a cold there, so I carried you back home. I'll take you to the hospital to see Mommy after breakfast."Chelsea scratched her head as she looked at Jake, still in a daze.

Theodore took Chelsea out for almost half an hour before returning. He wanted to see how Rosalie and Jake were doing.Yet, when he arrived at the door, he saw that Rosalie had collapsed on the floor."Rose!" Theodore put Chelsea down and ran toward Rosalie, carrying her up in his arms.Rosalie's brows were tightly knitted. She was barely conscious, sweat beading on her forehead."Mommy, Mommy!" Chelsea was frightened to see her mom in such a state.Just then, the door to the room suddenly opened. Jake heard the commotion and came out, only to see Rosalie on the floor. He was utterly shocked.Theodore yelled at Jake, "What did you do?"Jake stood stunned. He knew nothing, since he was hiding in his room all the while. He thought Rosalie had left when he didn't hear her voice anymore.Rosalie opened her eyes and grabbed Theodore's arm, saying weakly, "Nothing to do with him.""Rose, I'll take you to the hospital." Theodore carried Rosalie in his arms and stood up in a panic.
When Theodore arrived home with Rosalie and Chelsea in tow, Jake was playing water guns with the servants.The servants pretended to be afraid as they hid from Jake's sight.Jake was having the time of his life when a voice interrupted him. "Jake."He jumped up in fright at the sound of his father's voice and immediately hid the water gun behind his back.Yet, when he turned around, he saw two people standing next to Theodore—a lady and a little girl.Jake suddenly had a bad feeling about things as he looked wide-eyed at them."Jake," Rosalie said agitatedly as she looked at her son. She wanted to rush toward him, but was worried that it might frighten him.Theodore took a few steps forward. "Jake, do you still remember what I told you about how your mom is back?" He crouched down low and gently caressed Jake's head. "She is your mom, and that's your younger sister."Jake's water gun fell on the floor with a thud."Jake," Rosalie said in a trembling voice as she approached h
Lunch went by without a glitch, although neither of them spoke much.Perhaps because Chelsea was around, they found it inappropriate to say what was on their mind, even if there was much they wanted to say.After the meal, Theodore put his spoon down and said, "Now that you're back, will you leave again?"Even after having met Rosalie, he didn't dare to hold out hope and braced himself for the possibility that she might leave and disappear from his world again."I'm here for work, as I've been dispatched here to take on a long-term position. If there are no surprises, I'll probably be staying here for good.""So if it weren't for work, you wouldn't have returned, am I right?"Theodore's tone was calm, but he was in fact trying his best to suppress his agitation.Rosalie's heart throbbed with pain. "I really missed Jake. I think even without work, I might still have come back.""Might," Theodore repeated her words through gritted teeth. "I see."Rosalie had nothing to say to ju
Two days later, Rosalie and Theodore met at a restaurant where she had reserved a private room.It was extremely quiet. Rosalie brought her daughter there very early, and Theodore wasn't there yet. Five minutes before their agreed time, Theodore pushed the door open and walked in.Rosalie stood up, slightly agitated. "Theo, you're here."She looked behind him and saw no one. Theodore was alone, and Jake didn't come with him."Where's Jake?" she asked. Theodore walked over and settled down on a chair. "I told him about our meeting, but he refused to come."Rosalie's heart raced. "Why not? Doesn't he want to see his mother?"Theodore looked coldly at her. "You left him when he was only one-and-a-half years old. He doesn't even remember what you look like. Although I've been showing him photos of you and telling him stories about you, it's clear to him that his mother is not by his side."Rosalie felt as though someone had sliced her heart into two. She couldn't hold her tears
At night, Rosalie sat by the bedside and read a bedtime story to her daughter. In it, the prince and princess lived happily ever after.Chelsea gently held Rosalie's hand. "I want to sleep with you, Mommy."Rosalie pinched her tiny nose. "You're already so big, and you still want to sleep with Mommy?""I just want to. I want to stick to Mommy forever."Chelsea dove into Rosalie's embrace.Rosalie doted on her daughter very much. "Alright, I'll stay here with you."Suddenly, she was reminded of Jake.She mustered up all the courage she had today to try to see him, but all she got was seeing him having a great time with another woman.She couldn't be so selfish as to rush up to Jake and claim that she was his mother, so she retreated home.She didn't know what she should do.Rosalie missed Jake dearly.She knew she had disappointed Jake, depriving him of the love of a mother. Perhaps because of that, she poured all of her love to Chelsea. Yet the more Rosalie did so, the more
The next day, Rosalie made it to Theodore's house, which she hadn't been to for a long time.The butler was shell-shocked to see her."Ms. Young… You…you're back…""It's been a while. May I come in?""O-Of course," the butler stuttered as he opened the gate.As she stepped in, Rosalie asked, "Are Theo and Jake in?"It was the weekend and there was no school, so she came here to try her luck.The butler said, "Mr. Spencer and Jake are both here, but we have guests."Just then, a female servant walked over and whispered something into the butler's ear.The butler frowned. "What did you say? How did that happen? How careless."He looked like he had something urgent to attend to."Please go ahead and do what you need to do. Don't worry about me, I'll head in myself. I know this place well," Rosalie said."Alright then, Ms. Young. I'll come find you in a while." The butler left with the servant in a hurry.Rosalie was about to walk toward the villa when she heard the joyful lau
Theodore's bodyguard opened the car door for him when they arrived at the car park.Just then, they heard footsteps running toward them. "Theo, wait."Rosalie ran toward them.Theodore was about to step into the car when he heard her voice. He turned around to see Rosalie approaching him.The bodyguard stepped forward to stop Rosalie in her tracks.Rosalie didn't expect things to turn out this way. He didn't want to talk to her, and didn't even want her coming close to him.She knew that he blamed her and resented her."Theo, let's talk, shall we? I have things to tell you.""I have nothing to talk to you about," Theodore said coldly. "Rosalie Young, seems like you've been doing well over the years."He had been worried about whether she was doing well all alone, but as it turns out, his worries had been redundant. He had so many sleepless nights because of her, while she was focusing on her career, abandoning him and their child."Theo, I'm sorry. I know I hurt you and our c
