Rosalie saw Theodore’s dark expression, and feared he might throw her down the stairs. In the past, she would have been sure Theodore wouldn’t do something like that. But now, everything was different. This man might do anything, including throwing her down the stairs.Why else would he stop here? She couldn’t shake the thought.Theodore stared at her in silence, his black eyes so deep and inscrutable they looked like a dark, cold sea.Rosalie swallowed hard, her heart pounding in fear. She glanced at the staircase, dreading the thought of being thrown down. If he did, she’d be severely injured, and the baby wouldn’t survive.Compared to Theodore, she was physically weak and couldn’t possibly fight back. If he wanted to throw her, he could do it as easily as tossing a small bird.Driven by maternal instinct to protect her unborn child, she clutched Theodore’s collar. Her eyes were wide with fear. “Let’s not fight anymore tonight, okay?”She resolved to endure whatever it took
Theodore had always been strong. Even though Rosalie felt tired in his arms, she couldn’t see any signs of fatigue on his face.After a while, his gaze shifted away from her face, and he carried her away. He carried her all the way back to their room, laying her roughly on the bed. Though his actions were a bit harsh, the bed was soft, and she didn’t feel uncomfortable.However, from his demeanor, she knew he was angry.Theodore was still in his suit; a few buttons of his shirt undone, revealing his strong chest. He stood with his hands on his hips, glaring coldly at Rosalie on the bed.He wanted to say something to her, but seeing her panicked face and clutching the blanket, he gritted his teeth and dropped his hands. Then, he impatiently threw his jacket aside.Rosalie wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, adopting a defensive posture.They were getting divorced tomorrow, but Theodore had brought her back to their shared bedroom. Was he planning to spend the night here?She
Rosalie quickly shifted away from him, putting some distance between them. Her expression was wary as she asked, "What are you doing?""You told me to rest, right? This is my room and my bed. Of course I'm going to lie down here!"The usually dignified man now seemed like a spiteful troublemaker, shameless and unreserved. Strangely, it carried an undeniable allure about him.Rosalie had the urge to reprimand him, but she couldn't find a reason to argue back. It was indeed his home, and she would move out after the divorce."Fine, since this is your room, you sleep here. I'll leave," she said. She would sleep in the guest room. At this point, she didn't care that tonight was their last night together. Things between her and Theodore had gotten ugly, and nothing else mattered.Theodore gripped her wrist tightly as she moved to get off the bed. Despite her attempts to free herself, she found it impossible.Rosalie frowned. "What are you doing?"Theodore noticed how often she had
Rosalie gently rubbed her fingertip over that shallow scar, feeling a pang in her heart. Involuntarily, she recalled the chaotic scene when he had rushed forward without hesitation.She couldn't forget how Theodore had hurt her, but neither could she forget his kindness. The mixture of good and bad was undoubtedly painful and confusing. She would rather blindly remember his goodness and forget the bad, or only recall his faults and become extremely angry. But she couldn't be that simple, nor could she be extreme. She was stuck in the middle, stuck remembering both his good and bad deeds. So, she consistently wavered without a firm stance. In the end, she was the one who would get hurt the most.Theodore grabbed her hand, seeing the sadness in her eyes. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart, a suffocating despair. Yes, it was despair, he carefully considered. It seemed like he had indeed fallen into despair, his body and soul submerged in her sorrowful gaze.What did he
She didn't understand why Theodore suddenly brought up this matter. Even if she had such thoughts, what difference did it make to him? Hadn't he also once misunderstood her, thinking her to be a malicious and evil woman?"Hah." Theodore suddenly laughed, his smile particularly scornful. "Yes, I did want to throw you down and break you to pieces."Since he thought so, there was nothing left for her to explain. The gap between them wasn’t one that would go away with some explanations. Once they were divorced, everything would be over. These tangled affairs that couldn't be cleared up would never happen again!After the divorce, she would finally be able to avoid further turmoil with him once she distanced herself from him.Rosalie turned away, and laid on her side. She bit her fingernails as tears streamed down her face.-The next day was the day of their divorce.Both Rosalie and Theodore got up early, and silently had breakfast together.They were both very calm. It was thei
All things came to an end eventually. No matter how many problems there were before, no matter how many surprises, there weren't signs that could change the outcome.Finally, she was no longer Mrs. Spencer or Theodore's wife. Theodore would become Cynthia's husband.Rosalie fell silent for a long time, unable to articulate her feelings. It was a difficult emotion to describe—a hollow emptiness. It wasn't exactly painful, but it wasn't painless either. It was like losing one's soul.Perhaps this was pain such that it felt like losing one's soul, to the point the agony disappeared altogether.Theodore reached out to her. "Can you give me your marriage certificate?"Rosalie snapped out of her daze. "What?""The marriage certificate is already void now, and we'll just throw it away anyway. Give it to me. I'll show it to Cindy."Rosalie scoffed. "You really care about her feelings."The marriage certificate had been stamped as void, so it was useless now. They each had one, but
No matter how many disputes occurred between them, in the end, Theodore didn't want to treat Rosalie unfairly. He wouldn't give her less than she deserved, and hoped she could live well. Even when he was angry with her at times, he didn't want her to suffer.Transferring his house to her name had already shocked Rosalie enough. She hadn't expected him to also give her five percent of SK Enterprise's shares. That was a huge fortune. Even if she sold off that five percent, she wouldn't need to work for the rest of her life and would still never run out of money. Moreover, SK Enterprise was an excellent company that was steadily rising in value. The shares would only increase in worth over the years.She never imagined Theodore would be so generous, and give her five percent so easily. Dumbfounded, Rosalie didn't know what to say for a moment."You should know you didn't have to give me these," she said calmly, looking at him. "What I want isn't these.""What do you want then?" Th
Theodore’s face darkened like an impending storm over a sunny day.Rosalie could feel his rising anger. If she went on talking, they would probably fight again.They were already divorce. She didn’t understand why he was saying all these.“I have something else to attend to,” she said. “I need to go off. Go back by yourself.”With that, Rosalie stood up to leave.Theodore grabbed her wrist. “What do you need to do?”Rosalie furrowed her brows. Turning, she said, “Please let me go.”Feeling his grip over her wrist tightening, she gritted her teeth in fury. “We’re already divorced. Quit pulling me around! I’m not your wife, okay? Please stop behaving so ridiculously!”Her words made Theodore’s brow knit even tighter. “Me? Behaving ridiculously? You’re clearly avoiding me! What could you possibly be busy with?”“Why can’t I be busy with something?” Rosalie sputtered in anger. “In your eyes, am I a woman who has nothing better to do than to sit around at home like an ornament? D
Rosalie and Justin's wedding day arrived at last.They had chosen a quiet location and hired a team to set up an outdoor ceremony. A long tunnel of lush green branches and fresh flowers stretched ahead, with a red carpet laid beneath. Ribbons tied to the flower stems swayed gently in the breeze, filling the air with romance.This was a wedding just for the two of them. In their eyes, no one else existed.After the makeup artist finished working on Rosalie, she admired her handiwork and said, "Miss Young, you look absolutely stunning! This look suits you so well."Just then, Justin stepped into the room. Rosalie turned her head at the sound of his arrival and smiled at him tenderly before speaking to the makeup artist. "You can go ahead and take care of other things. I'd like to have a moment alone with my future husband.""No problem, but don't take too long! Don't forget about the auspicious hour," the makeup artist reminded her with a cheerful smile before gathering her tools and lea
Rosalie's heart pounded wildly with excitement. She clutched the blanket tightly and bit her lip as she stared at him fixedly. She looked both shy and alluring.He was already handsome enough without a suit, but the moment he put one on, he was breathtaking. That tall, commanding figure, the firm muscles, the strikingly handsome face—every inch of him exuded charm."Baby." Justin roughly yanked the blanket off Rosalie.She gasped in shock, wrapping her arms around herself as if terrified. Her eyes also seemed to flash with panic. "What are you doing?"She looked frightened and inched backward, as if he were forcing himself on her.Rosalie's features lent her a soft, feminine beauty. Now, with that timid and vulnerable expression, she looked so fragile it could make anyone's heart melt.Justin finally saw through her little act.Role-playing, was it? The delicate, helpless woman being seized by a domineering, wicked man. Well, if that was what she wanted, he would play along.He grabbed
At night, after taking a bath, Rosalie leaned against the headboard, video-calling Theodore. Meanwhile, Justin was in the bathroom.Rosalie waved at Steve on the screen. "Hi, Steve. Can you see me?""Mama! Mama!" Steve reached toward the screen, wanting to hug her but couldn't.Theodore held his hand. "Steve, Mommy will come see you very soon.""Yes, Steve, Mommy will visit you soon. You will always be my precious little boy." Rosalie wished she could reach through the screen and hold him in her arms.Not being able to live with her child was painful, but at least Justin was by her side.Just then, Justin stepped out of the bathroom, fresh from his shower. He walked over and sat right next to Rosalie, shirtless. He accidentally appeared on camera.Theodore saw him and frowned slightly. He knew very well that Rosalie and Justin were now together, so it was only natural that they shared a bed. But seeing Justin sitting beside Rosalie half-naked in the video call still sent a pang through
Rosalie and Justin headed home.After settling down on the couch, Rosalie leaned into his embrace. "We'll be getting married in a few days."Rosalie looked up at him. "Do you feel nervous at all?"Justin nodded. "A little. What about you?"Rosalie nodded too. "I feel a little nervous, too. No, very nervous."She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Justin, we'll definitely fight after we get married, right?"Which married couple didn't face conflicts in their lifetime? They weren't robots.Justin caressed Rosalie's cheeks, knowing that she was still worried about it. "Rose, let me ask you a question.""What is it?""Did you fight with Theodore when you two were married? Did you two have any conflicts?"Rosalie furrowed her brows. "Why are you asking me this?""Because I feel like you're very worried about our marriage, so I want to hear what you think of that."Since she was worried, they should have a good chat about it and resolve her concerns, instead of letting her bring
"Okay, let me see." Justin stood in front of the three gowns and chose the third one.It wasn't the gown he chose for Rosalie at the start, but one that Rosalie picked out herself. Chronologically speaking, Rosalie probably tried on this gown after trying on the first two gowns.Justin lifted the gown before Rosalie. "Darling, how about this one?"Rosalie looked at him doubtfully before turning her attention to the first gown. "Why not the first one? You picked the first one for me, I like it too."Justin said with a smile, "If you really liked the first one, you wouldn't have been in a dilemma over the next two. If you really liked the second one, there shouldn't have been a third one. That's why I think you should choose the third wedding gown.""Justin…" Rosalie was at a loss for words. She suddenly felt so thankful for his presence.She walked up to him and hugged the gown, nodding. "Let's pick this one, then. Let's now pick out a suit for you."Rosalie did like this gow
It was the kind of playful bickering that wasn't truly fighting.Rosalie glared at him. "I dare you to! If you dare find another woman, I'll find a young man and flirt openly with him in front of you and make your blood boil!"Justin couldn't stand the mere thought of it and jealousy overwhelmed him. He grabbed her shoulders and growled, "If you ever do that, I'll punch him to death!""What about your other woman?" Rosalie said huffily. "You're making my blood boil. Since you want to find another woman to anger me, I'll find a young boy to anger you back!""I'm sorry, I was wrong," Justin said as he pulled Rosalie into his arms. "I won't find another woman. You won't go around finding a young boy as a love interest."Justin was joking when he mentioned another woman and he knew Rosalie wasn't serious about finding a young boy, but somehow he still panicked when he heard that.Rosalie could sense Justin's insecurities. She was pulling his leg and neither of them were serious in wh
A few days later, Rosalie and Justin were planning their wedding. Rosalie felt overjoyed during this period. Every day spent with Justin was filled with sweet moments that she never tired of. All the unhappy memories of the past were put aside and she no longer thought about them. She focused her attention fully on Justin and happy thoughts.Rosalie and Justin were picking out their wedding gown and suit in a boutique. She held Justin's arm as she looked through the various gown designs, feeling excited and elated at the same time."Justin, these gowns are beautiful! I wonder how I'll look in them."Justin put an arm around her shoulder. "Try them on and we'll buy whichever looks good.""Help me pick, won't you?"Justin nodded. "Of course."He stepped forward and helped Rosalie choose a gown. He picked out a white lace mesh gown and handed it to her. "I think this looks nice. Try it on."A sales assistant stepped forward and praised Justin's choice. "Sir, you have good taste
Moments with one's lover were always sweet. Rosalie and Justin spent many happy days together.Aside from when Rosalie was at work, the two of them were always together, eating, sleeping and even going out for fun. They would often take walks at the park hand-in-hand.Justin had a high sex drive and was always in the mood for more. Rosalie sometimes felt overwhelmed, but the pitiful look on Justin's face always made her give in.Thankfully, Justin was always considerate of her feelings and never failed to make her very happy.Rosalie did find it tiring, but she also felt so filled with joy after each time.To be loved and doted on every moment by her lover made her immensely happy.This was the happiest Rosalie had been in her life. She hoped such happiness could last her entire lifetime.At night, Justin released Rosalie when he was finally sated.Rosalie panted heavily, her cheeks so flushed they looked like they were on the verge of bleeding. Sweat beaded on her forehead.
Justin shut his eyes and suddenly felt something on his face.He opened his eyes, only to see Rosalie kissing him. The covers between them were shoved aside and she pounced on him.Justin's breathing turned heavy. Rosalie sat up straight and took off her pajamas."Justin, I'm ready."With that, she bent over and kissed his lips, his face, and his neck as her hands got busy taking off his pajamas.Justin panted harder as he wrapped an arm around her waist and took over control. He pressed her down on the bed and cupped her face in his palms. "Really? Are you ready to give yourself to me?"Rosalie nodded. "I am. Take me."Justin, overjoyed, lowered his head to kiss her lips.They burned with overwhelming love and passion for each other, unable to keep their hands away from each other.At the height of their passion, Justin bit Rosalie's ear and growled, "Rose, I love you."His words made tears roll down Rosalie's cheeks. She hugged him back and whispered hotly into his ears,
