“We’re friends,” Rosalie said. “He’s accompanying me to view apartments. Let’s go with this unit.”

Rosalie didn’t want to spend more time looking, and wanted to rent any unit that she found acceptable. To her, all units looked around the same and were ultimately all built with steel rods and concrete. As long as the space was tidy, clean and safe, she didn’t need it to be too huge since she was living alone.

“Rose, are you sure? Don’t you want to see a few more units?” Sebastian asked.

“No need,” Rosalie said. “This one will do.”

“All right, then.” Sebastian didn’t oppose her decision.

This apartment looked pretty safe. He would help Rosalie switch out the lock and install a security system for her. No matter how safe an estate was, there was always a risk when a woman lived alone.

The agent seldom came across such a decisive tenant who came to a decision at the first viewing without even negotiating the price. She even signed the contract on the same day, and paid the deposit an

    Rosalie said again, “Is that fine?”After a long time, Theodore finally replied to her. “Got it. I’ll make arrangements for them. Just leave if you wish to.”Theodore sounded as though he couldn’t be bothered with her, and hung up after saying so.Rosalie sighed, and turned to Anthony. “I’ve spoken to Theo. After he moves to his new place, he’ll make arrangements for you and the team. When that time comes, you’ll have a new madam to serve. Clean up this place before you leave, and just shut the door behind you when you do.”Perhaps she might return some day, or perhaps that might never happen. No matter how grand a house is, it loses its meaning and purpose if no one lives in it.Before heading downstairs, Anthony stepped forward and took Rosalie’s luggage case from her. “Madam, let me help you with that.”Rosalie thought of her baby in her womb, and the fact that she should be careful and nodded. “Okay. Thank you.”Anthony followed Rosalie downstairs with the luggage case i

    Theodore silently kept the documents and put them back in his jacket. “Do you feel relieved now? Have a good rest, and wait for a suitable heart donor. You’ll be fine.”“Theo, do you know?” A trace of melancholy flashed past Cynthia’s eyes. “I originally felt hopeless and was imagining the worst, but now… I waited for the day when you’re finally divorced, and now, my heart is filled with hope again. I know you’ll marry me because you’re a man of your word. I’ll survive this no matter what, and live to be your wife.”Compared to how emotional Cynthia looked, Theodore was exceptionally calm. His face was showing hardly any emotion. He simply nodded, and said, “Don’t be so agitated. Keep yourself calm, or it won’t be good for your heart.”Cynthia could see the calm on Theodore’s face, and felt slightly annoyed. Now that he was divorced and could finally marry her, he should be over the moon. But why didn’t he look happy at all? Didn’t he want to divorce Rosalie? Cynthia felt unea

    Meanwhile, Rosalie had settled down in her new apartment.She was only staying here for the time being while she took things a step at a time. The priority was to find a place to stay, after all.At her agreement, Sebastian installed a security password lock along with anti-theft features.If no palm print was registered during a specified period of time after entering the door, it would sound off an alarm that was also connected to the police station, which was just five minutes away.“Sebastian, thank you so much. I don’t know how else to thank you,” she said. Sebastian had helped her so much, and took care of so many things for her.“Don’t mention it. You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me.”Although it was clear between them that they were good friends, Sebastian felt that Rose didn’t feel as at ease with him compared to being with Stephanie.That was naturally so, since she had known Stephanie for a very long time. In his case, he and Rosalie had only known each othe

    Rosalie forced a smile. “Nothing interesting, Grandma. You know that I don’t have a job right now, so…”“Oh yes. On the topic of a job, would you consider working at your mother-in-law’s bank? You majored in finance and that matches the opening they have.”If Rosalie could work there, Rebecca would feel assured. Someone would be taking care of Rosalie and ensure she wouldn’t get harassed. Sydney was slightly aloof by nature, but she was not wicked.“I…” In fact, Rosalie didn’t want to work for any company associated with the Spencers.She was happy to visit Rebecca and keep the latter company frequently, but she would rather avoid the Spencers as much as possible in other aspects of her life.Rosalie’s hesitation made the smile on Rebecca’s face fade. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to?”“Grandma, I’ll find my job on my own, so please don’t worry about it. Or do you find me so incapable that I can’t even find a job for myself, and have to rely on you all for help?”Rosalie po

    Rosalie would cover her ears as her entire body shook. She knew that if she opened the door, her aunt might beat her up. Although her aunt was fierce to her and would scold her when she was sober, the latter seldom laid a finger on her. However, it was a different matter when her aunt was drunk and lost all senses.After getting beaten up twice, Rosalie made it a point to lock herself up in her room each time her aunt got drunk. After screaming at her incessantly and finally running out of steam, her aunt would go back to her room and fall asleep, and Rosalie would be safe.That was a very dark period in her life. She frequently witnessed her aunt bringing different men home. Each time that happened, the only thing she could do was to hide in her room and cover her ears.Subsequently, her aunt abandoned her at the entrance of SK Enterprise’s office, telling her, “Rose, wait here for me. I’ll come here and fetch you in a while.”Rosalie ended up waiting for her for two days, durin

    “The cheek of you to admit that you don’t come here often!” Rebecca scoffed. “You only come when something happens. You never visit regularly. If it weren’t for Rose, I’d probably die all alone.”Theodore stepped forward, and sat next to Rebecca. “Grandma, how could you say that? I promise you, I’ll visit you more often in the future.”Rebecca chuckled. “You’ve said that so many times, I no longer trust your promises.”“Grandma, doesn’t Theo have something to tell you? Why don’t you hear him out?” Rosalie’s tender voice interrupted. Theodore heard her address him, and his heart trembled. He thought he would never hear her call him like that anymore.Rebecca scoffed. “Fine.”She turned to Theodore and asked, “Well, what is it?”Theodore looked past Rebecca toward Rosalie, and was about to speak when Rebecca suddenly stood up. “I need the washroom. I’m getting old, and I keep having the urges. Have a seat first, you two.”With that, Rebecca left, hobbling on her cane and under Z

    Rosalie’s head was buzzing. She wished she could give Theodore a tight slap. He was simply too much!“Ahem.” The cough that sounded like a reminder came, making Rosalie and Theodore freeze on the spot. They slowly turned their heads in the direction of the cough.Not far away, Zane was standing with Grandma. Rosalie and Theodore had no idea when the two appeared, and how much of their conversation they had heard.They only stopped when they heard Zane coughing, as shock registered on their faces.Rebecca stood there in silence as she stared at the two of them.Fury burned in her eyes as she looked in between Theodore and Rosalie.She gripped her cane and banged it hard on the floor. She turned to Zane, and sneered, “Send me back to my room.”After helping Rebecca back to her room and walking out, Rosalie immediately ambushed Zane. He shut the door, and looked up at the two of them with a solemn look on his face. “Madam Jarvis needs rest. Please go back, you two.”Rosalie as

    “Had you not asked for a divorce, none of these would have happened either!” Rosalie screamed at the top of her lungs. Since things had come to this point, she no longer cared. She flung his hand away.“Theodore Spencer, you were the one who asked for a divorce so you could be with Cynthia! Now that we’re divorced, don’t even think about pushing all the blame to me! If you insist that was wrong, the only wrong I did was to marry you! Marrying a man in love with another woman was the biggest mistake of my life!” she yelled agitatedly.Then, she swung open the door of her car and drove off.Theodore stared at the car driving off in the distance, looking forlorn. Every single word she spoke was a hammer knocking on his heart.He sighed, and paused for a moment before walking into the house instead of leaving. Half an hour later, he left the house and drove off.-Rosalie returned to her apartment, feeling completely exhausted. She was supposed to have dinner with Rebecca, but she

    The two of them sat around the dining table, eating dinner as they chatted.Theodore looked disinterested as he chatted with Aurora. She could sense that as well, so she went silent and didn't bother him much.After dinner, he told her to do whatever she pleased before returning to his room. He never came out and Aurora wondered what he was doing inside.Aurora hovered outside Theodore's room, pacing back and forth many times. She wanted to knock on the door and talk to him, but she stopped herself many times for fear that he might be annoyed with her.Yerick said that he could make her get pregnant with Theodore's child.Although she managed to move to Theodore's place, he wasn't passionate with her at all, unlike in the past. He would never touch her.Aurora put her hand gently on the door as she whispered, "Theo, I'll do anything for you. I really love you."In the deep of the night, Theodore tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep.He pulled out a drawer and ret

    Theodore sighed. "Rest and recuperate well. I'll send someone to find your ex-boyfriend. When I do, I'll use my network to make sure he sits in jail for a few years. I'm sure he's committed multiple crimes.""Thank you. If you really manage to find him, putting him behind bars is enough. But what should I do before you find him? He could come to me anytime. He said he'll never set me free and will kill me. He looked like he had gone mad.""I'll send someone to protect you. Don't worry.""Theo, can I…""What?" Theodore could sense that Aurora had something to say. "Just speak your mind. Don't beat around the bush.""Theo, I'm really scared. Can I stay with you before you find him? Don't worry, if you don't want me disturbing you, I won't. I'm just so scared to be by myself… I have nightmares when I sleep."Afraid that he might misunderstand, Aurora hurriedly added, "Don't worry, once he's found and put behind bars, I'll move out immediately. I'm just so scared right now. Please, I

    Theodore lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep. He felt a fire burning in his heart, his mind unable to stop thinking about Rosalie.Whether his eyes were opened or closed, all he could see was her.Frustrated, he flipped to his side to pull out a drawer and retrieve a bottle of pills. He couldn't calm himself down without medication.Just then, his phone rang. Theodore picked it up and saw the name on his phone screen—it was Aurora.He flung his phone aside.It kept ringing, irritating him greatly. Eventually, he answered the call. "What do you want?""Theo, save me! Save me, quick!"Shock registered on Theodore's face. "What happened?""He's chasing after me… Can I go find you? I really have nowhere else to go! I'm so scared!""Who's chasing after you? Where are you right now?""I…I'm now at… It's so dark, I can't tell. I'm hiding in a small alleyway right now. As I came here, I think I walked past a bar called Endless. I took a right turn and ended up in this alleyway. I'm

    Aurora collapsed on the ground, overwhelmed by the sudden force. Her head was pounding and she cupped her red, hot cheeks with her hands. "What…what did you do? Why did you slap me?" she asked, stunned. Yerick looked down upon her, his towering figure dark and frightening in the night. "Are you taking me as your hitman, ordering me around as you like?"It was enough that she ordered him to kill another. How dare she ask him to kill Rosalie?! She was digging her grave!"I didn't mean that," Aurora said agitatedly. "I'm just so scared! We're on the same boat, so we should help each other out.""Help each other out?" Yerick crouched down and pinched her chin. "Tell me, then. What have you helped me with so far? Why do you think I arranged for you to be by Theodore's side and allowed you to get to know him? What do you think is my motive?""I…I don't know!" Aurora said with trembling lips. The man before her was way too frightening, his eyes ghostly as he chuckled. "But I'll do wha

    Justin brought the baby home and saw Rosalie spacing out before the kitchen counter. She didn't even realize they were home."Mama," Steve called out to her.Rosalie heard him and turned to look at them. "You're back."She took Steve from Justin's hands and held him in her arms."Rose, are you alright? What did Theodore tell you?" Justin asked. "Aurora felt guilty and made Angie her scapegoat. Angie has been nabbed by the police," Rosalie replied.Justin frowned. "Angie surely wouldn't be a sitting duck. She'll expose Aurora.""That's not wrong," Rosalie said. "The problem is, Aurora is too good at putting up a facade. Theodore doesn't trust Angie and he said he'll investigate things and find out if Aurora was involved. At the end of the day, he refuses to believe that Aurora is capable of something like that. He subconsciously thinks that Angie was solely responsible.""That sounds like something he would do," Justin concluded. "Last time, I could tell he's very protective of

    Theodore turned around. "Is there something else?"Justin walked over. "Do you want to hold him? He seems eager to hug you."Theodore paused. Then, he gave a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth."No, you take him upstairs." The more he held Steve, the harder it would be to let go. He didn't even know why he felt such strong emotions for Steve. Perhaps it was because Steve was Rosalie's child, and thus, he couldn't help but care for the baby.Seeing this, Justin didn't insist. He was about to leave when suddenly, Steve started crying in his arms. Steve stretched out his hands toward Theodore, trying to reach him.Hearing the cries, Theodore's heart tightened. He turned around and saw Justin trying to soothe the child."Steve, what's wrong? Are you hungry? I'll take you back right away."Steve continued crying, louder and louder, and Theodore felt as if his heart were being squeezed. His feet felt like they were nailed to the ground, and he couldn't move.Justin took a few steps b

    "And what about you?" Theodore countered. "Rose, when will you finally see what kind of people are around you? Sebastian's two-faced, pretentious, and full of lies. Justin has blood on his hands, with numerous enemies. He's like a ticking time bomb, and both of them will only bring you disaster."Rosalie sneered. "And how much disaster have you brought me? Do you think the mental torment you've caused me isn't enough?"Theodore gave a bitter smile. "Rose, do you want me to die to make up for the harm I've caused you?""No, I just hope you won't bother me anymore. I have my own life now. Whether it's good or bad, it has nothing to do with you. Once upon a time, Grandma was the last connection between us, but now that she's gone, we have nothing left."She avoided Theodore's gaze. "You should go now."Theodore clenched his fists. "If this is what you want, then I understand. I'll stay away from you in the future and won't bother you again, because, as you said, we have nothing left."Wi

    Theodore was about to speak, but then he remembered he had important matters to discuss today and couldn't be sidetracked by Justin."Rose, I have something important to tell you. Let's talk privately.""If you have something to say, just say it," Rosalie replied. She knew he wanted Justin to leave, but she didn't mind if Justin knew what was going on.Theodore gave Justin a cold glance before continuing, "This matter concerns Grandma. I don't want anyone else around. It's something that should only be discussed between the two of us.""He's not an outsider," Rosalie replied without hesitation. "He can know about Grandma's matters too."Seeing the two of them about to argue, Justin immediately said, "I'll take Steve out for a walk and come back later."With that, Justin left.Rosalie quickly said, "Justin, you don't need to…""It's fine," he interrupted her. "I'll take him downstairs for a walk."With that, Justin left with Steve.Rosalie took a step back and said to Theodore, "Come in

    Aurora looked incredibly sorrowful, completely unlike someone who was acting. Theodore, for a moment, didn't know whether he should believe her or not.When Rosalie had first told him, he had only defended Aurora, completely ignoring Angie.Now, with Aurora telling him that it was Angie who killed Rebecca, Theodore couldn't be 100% certain that Aurora was not involved in this matter.It felt like a layer of mist had been added, blurring his vision and preventing him from seeing clearly.After a long while, Theodore released Aurora."Get better first," he said, turning to leave.Suddenly, he heard some movement behind him. Turning around, he saw Aurora stumbling toward the window in the ward. She forcefully pulled open the window and jumped straight down.Theodore's brows tightened, and with rocket-like speed, he rushed forward. He grabbed her from behind and pulled her back from the window ledge. "What are you doing?!""Theo, let me die! I don't want to live anymore. Just pretend I kil
