“Oh, yes,” Rosalie went on, as another thought came to mind. “On our way here, Theo told me that we won’t be getting a divorce for the time being.”She didn’t want Cynthia feeling too happy.Cynthia looked as though lightning had struck her on the head, and her eyes widened in shock.“Theo…”Theodore turned to look at Rosalie. “Wait for me in the car, will you? I’ll be there in a few minutes.”“Sure, take your time to talk,” Rosalie said, as she stood up to leave the hall. She didn’t want to stay here with the two of them, anyway.After Rosalie left, Cynthia immediately stood up from her seat and sat next to Theodore. She grabbed his arm, and asked, “Theo, what exactly is going on? Is she the one who’s stopping you from divorcing her?”“No. Rose wants the divorce, but this time, I was the one who told her that I’m not going through with the divorce,” Theodore said calmly.“Why not?” Tears immediately fell down Cynthia’s cheeks. “Why are you saying something like this? Didn’t yo

“Yes, you have,” Rosalie said, as she locked her phone screen and put it aside. She turned to look at him. “So what if nothing happened between you two? The facts remain: you switched your phone off, and brought her on a holiday. You asked me for a divorce, and clamored to marry her. You rush to her defense each time something happens. It doesn’t really make a difference whether you two had sex or not.”Whatever it was, she and Theodore could never return to the past. He was entangled with Cynthia, and it was pointless no matter how hard Rosalie tried.Theodore gripped the steering wheel so tightly, the veins on his hands tensed up and even popped.Rosalie was showing off in front of Cynthia not because she was glad that they weren’t getting a divorce, but simply because she was trying to provoke Cynthia.Theodore sat there unmoving and didn’t start the car, but Rosalie didn’t rush him either. She picked her phone up, and started scrolling again.She opened and closed a couple

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 time being.”“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 drama series, she’d definitely be cursing as she watched.“Grandma isn’t in good health. She says she’s fine with us getting a divorce, but she’s in fact very upset about it. I don’t want her to be sad, so we decided to delay it,” Rosalie said. “Until when are you going to delay it? You can’t possibly suffer for someone el

“Where is that woman? Where’s the nurse named Stephanie Carter?!”The door was shoved open with a loud bam, and a middle-aged couple charged in.“Stephanie Carter! You’re Stephanie Carter, aren’t you?!”Upon seeing the woman on the bed, the couple rushed forward and forcefully yanked off the sheets.“What are you doing?!”Rosalie shoved the woman aside and stood in front of Stephanie’s bed, her face all tensed up.“Scram!” The middle-aged man shoved Rosalie roughly to the floor.“Argh!” Rosalie wrapped her arms protectively around her belly.“What are you doing?!” Stephanie leapt out of her bed, and held Rosalie up from the floor. “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” Rosalie said, feeling no discomfort in her belly.Upon seeing the fierce couple approach them, Rosalie hurriedly pulled Stephanie behind her. “What do you two want?”“This nurse caused my son to be taken away by the police. I’ll teach you a good lesson!”The couple was hot-tempered, and completely unreasonable.“Don’t

One of the doctors did a check-up on Theodore, treated the wound on his forehead, and diagnosed him as suffering from a slight concussion.Rosalie sat by Theodore’s bedside. Grabbing his hand tightly, she asked with concern, “Theo, does it still hurt?”“I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt. You silly girl. Why did you act as a shield for someone else? What if you got hurt?”Theodore’s brows were furrowed as deep concern—remorse, even—filled his eyes.“She’s not just someone else. She’s my friend,” Rosalie explained.“But you’re my wife. I care only for you.”“Theo…” Rosalie felt tears welling up in her eyes again as they fell down her cheeks. She didn’t expect Theodore to be the one to appear at that critical moment and rush to her defense.Right when she was feeling utterly disappointed with him, he protected her so self-sacrificially by blocking the attack with his own body. He disregarded the wound on his forehead, and was instead more worried about her.She felt really conflicted abou

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Stephanie personally witnessed Rosalie shielding her with her own body despite her pregnancy. Such a friend was a friend Stephanie was determined to keep her entire life. “Don’t be so polite with me. We’re friends! Of course we should help each other out. They’ve been taken away by the police and will pay the price for their actions. I’ll also speak to Theodore and see if he can keep them behind bars for longer. They are utterly unreasonable,” Rosalie said with fury.“Rosalie, did you cry?” Stephanie saw the redness in Rosalie’s eyes.Rosalie chuckled awkwardly.“It must be because of your husband,” Stephanie surmised. “At first, I had some reservations about your him. From what I saw today, my perspective of him has changed. No matter what, he was willing to protect you at the most critical moment. Very few men are capable of doing that.”“Yeah, it’s just a pity…” Rosalie sighed. “I feel very conflicted. I can’t deny he’s good in some areas,

At night, Rosalie returned home with Theodore.They had dinner outside, and were ready to wash up and retire for the night. After helping Theodore back to his room, Rosalie grabbed her bag and turned to leave.However, Theodore grabbed her arm. “Where are you going?”“Wash up and get some rest soon. I’m going back to my own room.”“Rose, this is your room.”Rosalie looked down at his hand enveloping hers. “We’ve been sleeping separately.”She remembered the night before, when she went to Grandma’s to steal the resident register. She did sleep with Theodore, but that was only because she thought that was their last night together.She didn’t expect them to continue being together and dragging things out.“We’re not getting a divorce for now, right? There’s no need to sleep in separate rooms, then. Come back and sleep in this room,” he said in all seriousness.Rosalie’s heart raced. She retracted her hand after mustering up her courage, and said, “That’s not a very good idea. No

“I’ll sleep here tomorrow night, too,” she finally said.The baby would want his father’s company, too.“What about the night after?” Theodore pushed his luck like a little child asking for candies, and he wanted more of it every day.“That too.”“What about the night after that?” he pursued relentlessly, like a haunting phantom.“I won’t go back to my room to sleep. I’ll move my things here and sleep with you.”He was asking so many questions, it made her blush. She swept her slightly warm cheeks with the back of her hand.“Really?” Theodore said in disbelief, looking doubtfully at her.“Of course. Why would I lie to you about this? Lie down first and get some rest. I’ll go to my room and grab my sleepwear.”“All right. You have to come back, okay? I’ll wait for you until you come back before I sleep.” He finally released her hand and laid down on a bed, looking like an abandoned child.Rosalie smiled helplessly, suddenly feeling like a mother. She was in fact one alread

A surge of intense emotion welled up in Justin's chest. He pulled Rosalie into his arms and held her tightly.Rosalie wrapped her trembling hands around his waist."Rose, do you know what you're saying?" Justin's tone was heavy, almost accusatory. He needed to hear her say it with certainty, not just in a moment of impulse."Justin, I love you. Don't go, okay? I don't want you to leave."Some words were difficult to say, but once spoken, they could no longer be contained.She didn't know exactly when she had fallen in love with Justin. Maybe it was from the first time they met when he shielded her in his arms, or when she learned about his tragic past and felt sympathy for him. Or perhaps it was the accumulation of moments over time—his gentleness, his kindness, the way he cared for and protected her. In this seemingly cold and ruthless man, she saw goodness, and she couldn't help but fall for him.Now, she was sure. She wanted to be with him. The thought of never seeing him again dro

The next day, Rosalie was distracted at work, staring at the numbers on the computer screen until they blurred before her eyes.The entire morning passed in a daze.Last night, she had sent Justin a message asking for the exact time of his flight today. He told her it was departing from Vlodon Airport at 2.30 PM.It was already 1.00 PM now. A sudden wave of anxiety surged within Rosalie.She had initially decided not to see him off as she couldn't bear the pain of parting. But now, an overwhelming emotion rose within her.She couldn't let him leave.Rosalie immediately shut down her computer and hurriedly left her desk.She drove straight to the airport, calling Justin multiple times on the way, but he never picked up.The airport was vast and crowded. Rosalie had no idea where Justin was. She could only search for him based on his flight time, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't spot him in the sea of people.She kept calling him and sending him messages.[Justin, please

Rosalie's nose tingled, and tears fell down her cheeks uncontrollably."Justin, I don't know what to do. I'm so scared. I don't know what the future holds."Hearing these words, Justin felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. It hurt."You're right. I'm scared too. I don't know what the future will be like either, so let's just leave it at this. Stay with Theodore—your bond spans over a decade. You once loved him so much. You have a child together, while I'm just an outsider. How could I ever compare?""Justin, don't say that."If one met the right person, even a minute was enough to fall in love with them. But if it was the wrong person, even decades together wouldn't stop both people from growing weary of each other.Justin sighed. "Then what should I say? After all those years with him, does he really have no place in your heart?"Rosalie lowered her head. "I…""Rose, don't deny it. He'll always have a place in your heart."It was easier to see things clearly as an outsider. That w

Dinner was pleasant and harmonious.After the meal, the three of them sat in the living room and chatted. The atmosphere was especially warm and relaxed.Most of the conversation between Rosalie and Theodore revolved around the book she was about to write.Rosalie asked Theodore many questions, and he answered each one carefully, offering his advice. In this field, he was indeed more knowledgeable than Rosalie as he had years of experience. His insights were sharp, whether viewed from a macro or micro perspective.As their discussion grew more complex, it reached a level where others could no longer understand.Justin sat silently on the couch, watching them. Even though he didn't understand their conversation, he wasn't annoyed. His gaze remained fixed on Rosalie.It was as if he couldn't find a place in their discussion, nor did he want to interrupt. So, he simply watched them quietly.Unknowingly, time slipped away, and it was already 9.30 PM. Justin glanced at the clock.His gaze l

"It's great to hear you say that! Once I've got a draft, you'll be the first to read it. If there are any mistakes or areas that need improvement, you have to point them out," Rosalie said.Theodore nodded and replied gently, "I can't wait to read it."Sitting quietly to the side, Justin watched their interaction. For a moment, he felt that the two of them were truly a perfect match. After everything they had been through, they could still share a meal and discuss these matters. They shared the same interests and values.And what about himself? Did he and Rosalie have anything in common? He knew nothing about finance. He was just a cold-blooded assassin. Only when he was with Rosalie did he feel like an ordinary person, but in reality, his true identity was one he could never reveal to anyone.Theodore was different. He was born into a prestigious family, had a high status in society, and had remarkable knowledge.Rosalie should be with Theodore. Only he could give her the life she de

Theodore asked, "Then how do we know whether this so-called financial critic is telling the truth or not? After all, not everything is just a rumor.""Exactly! That's a great question," Rosalie replied with a smile. "This brings us to credibility and information verification. I want to clearly address this in my book and discuss how to determine the credibility of financial information, much like verifying sources on the internet. I can share methods for cross-checking company reports, financial data, and news sources."If a company is indeed facing an issue, we need to analyze the specifics—what kind of issue it is, whether it can be resolved, or if it is just a normal part of a business cycle. Sometimes, we can't just focus on a single point; we have to take a macro perspective. "It's like a person with a mole on their face—if someone isolates that mole and uses it to argue that the person is not human, that wouldn't make sense. The mole is merely a part of the person, but it doesn

Rosalie eventually agreed to Theodore's suggestion to fetch her home on a helicopter.Instead of going to the car park to get her car, Rosalie went to the top floor and waited there. Very soon, a helicopter arrived and she hopped on. She managed to reach home in less than forty minutes.Rosalie remarked to herself that it was indeed good to be rich.When she walked into the living room, she saw Justin and Theodore playing with Steve.They blindfolded Steve and randomly exchanged positions, and made him guess where his father was. Steve sometimes burrowed in Theodore's embrace, and then in Justin's arms at other times. He was completely fooled by them.The two men were playing like children and having a blast.Warmth spread across Rosalie's heart at the scene before her.When they realized that Rosalie was back, Justin exclaimed, "Rose, you're back!"The two men looked at her and immediately tugged the blindfold off Steve's face for fear that she might scold them.Rosalie ignor

"You're praising me?" Theodore exclaimed, as if he heard something unbelievable. "It's completely reasonable for you to punch me."Justin patted Theodore's shoulder. "I'm standing right here, alive and well and able to see Rose, precisely because you defeated the evil within you. The one standing before me is the good Theodore. If I were to punch you, who'd be willing to save another?""If I were you, I'd punch me," Theodore said.Justin shook his head. "Not so. You might think this way because you haven't actually experienced it for yourself. Once you do, you'll realize that many things aren't what you thought they were, and that would change the decisions you make."Theodore had a newfound respect for Justin. If the world had more people like him in it, it would probably be a more beautiful place, without conflicts and struggles and endless criticisms and personal attacks.Theodore was starting to understand why Rosalie liked Justin. He was a man worthy of her fancy.Their rela

Justin reached Theodore and Rosalie's place at around 5.20 pm.He didn't come early, because Rosalie told him that she could only reach home at 5.30 pm earliest. He wouldn't be able to see her by coming early, anyway.Theodore was at home and came out to welcome him."You're here."Both men weren't antagonistic against each other, but there was a tinge of awkwardness in the air."You've recovered well," Theodore said politely, but it was what he genuinely thought.Justin was previously shot in the head and had half his head shaved. Some hair had grown out since then."I have recovered pretty well. Oh yes, I haven't thanked you for what happened previously," Justin said. "What for?" Theodore asked."After I got shot, everyone thought I was dead, but you noticed my finger moving. Had you not said anything, I might really have died."Theodore didn't immediately accept Justin's expression of gratitude. In fact, he felt rather guilty. His first reaction at that time was not to
