"Rose, did you need something?"

Theodore didn't directly answer her question, but it was true. Cynthia was his junior.

"I need to fill out my preferences for my university entrance exams. Do you have any suggestions regarding majors?"

Theodore continued working with his head down as he replied, "Choose something you're interested in."

"Then, I'll choose..."

"Sorry to interrupt," said Cynthia from the office doorway. "Mr. Spencer, Mr. Johnson is online and waiting for you."

Theodore hummed in response and closed the file he was holding. "I'll be right there."

As he walked past Rosalie, he said, "I'm a bit busy. Let's talk later."

"Oh, okay," Rosalie replied, looking somewhat disappointed as she lowered her head.

Noticing the lack of movement behind him, Theodore stopped and turned around. Eventually, he approached Rosalie and grasped her shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. You should go attend to your business," Rosalie said, fearing she would delay him further.

    "Rosalie, how many times do I have to remind you? We're not divorced yet!""What..."What does it matter if they were divorced or not?That was what Rosalie wanted to say. But seeing her husband’s dark expression, she knew continuing to argue would only worsen the situation. She wondered when he had become so unreasonable.Suddenly, her stomach churned violently. Rosalie quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door, and rushed out before retching uncontrollably. Theodore quickly followed and knelt beside her.Rosalie clutched at her chest and took a few deep breaths. Fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything in the morning, or she surely would have thrown up even more."It's been days. Haven't you been taking your medicine?" Theodore asked as he gently stroked her back.Worried that he might suspect something, Rosalie turned her head and pretended to be angry. "It's all because of you! That sudden stop you did made me uncomfortable. I'm already prone to motion sickness."Th

    "Oh, okay."Rosalie didn't say much about Theodore's answer. This was his home, and he could stay if he wanted to. Although it was such a normal thing, there was a faint sense of joy in Rosalie's heart.During lunch, Rosalie didn’t have much of an appetite. Seeing that she was mostly eating vegetables, Theodore kept putting meat on her plate."Why are you only eating vegetables? Have some meat."Even the sight of meat made Rosalie feel nauseous, but she forced herself to eat it to avoid suspicion. Fortunately, she had taken some anti-nausea medicine that was specifically for pregnancy symptoms beforehand. So, she could endure it for a while."What kind of job do you want?" Theodore suddenly asked.Rosalie looked up at him in confusion. "What?""Didn't I say I'd arrange a job for you after you graduate? What do you want to do?""Oh... It's fine. I'll find a job on my own.""You'll find one yourself? Aren't you going to work at SK Enterprise?""No." Rosalie smiled bitterly. "We

    After Theodore left, Rosalie called the university and inquired about Sebastian's condition. Learning that he was in the hospital, she immediately rushed over after obtaining the address. Finding Sebastian's ward with the door open, Rosalie walked in to see the doctor examining him.When Sebastian saw Rosalie, he smiled faintly. "Hello, Ms. Young."Rosalie hurried over. "Doctor, how is he?""Mr. Carter has two broken ribs," the doctor replied."What?!" Rosalie was anxious after hearing the doctor's reply. "Is he in any danger?"Sebastian was about to reassure her that he was fine, but seeing her anxious expression, he inexplicably felt at a loss for words and swallowed his response.The doctor shook his head. "Don't worry, it's not that serious. We've set his ribs, but he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation overnight."Rosalie breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Thank you."With a final nod, the doctor left the ward.Rosalie sat on the chair next to the be

    "Go on a walk with me outside," Sebastian said."Huh?" Rosalie thought she had misheard. "Where do you want to go?""Not out of the hospital, just around the vicinity, okay?""Of course. But isn't it too simple? You really just want my company on a walk?""What's wrong? Are you unwilling to do that?""No, I'm fine with it. But can you walk?""I can. My legs aren't broken."Sebastian got out of bed, but after taking just a few steps, he suddenly clutched his chest, his brows furrowing slightly.Rosalie hurriedly supported him. "Let me find you a wheelchair.""No need, I want to walk."Seeing Sebastian's stubbornness, Rosalie didn't argue further and helped him walk out of the hospital room. As they turned the corner of the corridor, they met a couple walking towards them.Rosalie's face paled in surprise when she saw them — it was Theodore and Cynthia, what a coincidence!Theodore was supporting Cynthia, who looked extremely exhausted and unwell.When Theodore noticed Rosal

    Rosalie thought Sebastian would ask her questions. Considering the awkward and complex situation they had just experienced, anyone would be curious. But Sebastian remained silent, sitting beside her without uttering a word. Rosalie didn't want to answer such questions either, so his silence was appreciated.After a long silence, Rosalie spoke first, "Mr. Carter, I didn't know you were the major shareholder of Ashwick University."Sebastian hummed softly. "Skycrest Enterprise has invested in many schools.""Skycrest Enterprise?" Rosalie was taken aback by his reply. "You're Skycrest Enterprise's...?"Sebastian extended his hand and smiled. "Let me reintroduce myself. I'm Sebastian Carter, Skycrest Enterprise's CEO."It was only then that Rosalie realized how deeply Sebastian had concealed his identity.Skycrest Enterprise was a major conglomerate, coveted by countless individuals who sought the best benefits. Like SK Enterprise, it was a multinational corporation with substantial

    Late at night, when Rosalie was dozing off, she suddenly felt someone pressing down on her. Startled, she screamed loudly."Ahhh...!"Theodore covered her mouth and hushed her. "It's me." He turned on the room light so Rosalie could see that it was really him on top of her. Breathing a sigh of relief, she glanced at the time to see that it was one in the morning."Why are you back?" she asked."Is it strange for me to come home?"With a tinge of alcohol on his breath, it seemed like Theodore had been drinking. He lowered his head and kissed his wife’s lips, deftly undoing her sleepwear."Ugh..." Rosalie pushed Theodore away with all her strength, hurriedly covering his mouth with her hand. "Let go of me!"Theodore grabbed her hand and pressed her down firmly on the bed. "What's with you? Don't want me to touch you?""Weren't you with Cynthia? Stay with her, then! Why did you come back here?!"Did this man think he could have it both ways? That he could come home and have his

    "Come to my office at noon," said Theodore as he straightened his tie."Are we going to sign the divorce papers?" Rosalie asked directly.She hoped to sign the papers and get the divorce over with, sparing herself the unnecessary sadness of dragging it out.Theodore frowned at his wife’s anxious demeanor. "You'll find out when you get there."With that, he left the room. There was a sense of unspoken anger in his movements.Rosalie was doubtful, but she waited till noon. Unsure if she should go before or after lunch, she called Theodore.When the call connected, Rosalie immediately asked, "It's noon. Should I come to your office now?""Yeah. Come over," Theodore replied."Have you eaten?" Rosalie asked out of habit."Not yet.""How about I pack a lunchbox for you and bring it over?"She knew Theodore often got too busy to have lunch, or simply grabbed something quick. Sometimes, he even just had a cup of coffee instead of a proper meal. That’s why she occasionally made lunch

    Theodore placed the lunch boxes on the coffee table. There were exactly two portions, one for him and one for Cynthia. When he opened the lunch boxes, he noted that the ingredients were the same for 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 any spices."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, then forget it."Theodore seemed to sense something from Rosalie's cold tone. But upon second thought, he knew neither 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 lunch?" Cynthia asked politely, her complexion somewhat pallid and fragile."She already ate," Theodore answered for Rosalie.Whenever Rosalie brought him lunch previously, she had usually already eaten at home

    Sebastian appeared very genuine. His eyes were filled with guilt when he looked at Justin."It's fine. As long as you desire to protect Rose," Justin said flatly.Sebastian's eyes narrowed, flashing briefly.What did that mean?Of course he desired to protect Rosalie! However, it wasn't Justin's place to comment on that.Rosalie was his wife, how was she related to Justin? What was this man thinking, trying to lecture him?Even so, Sebastian didn't say much. He simply smiled and said, "Have a good rest. I'll be off."Although it was only for a mere instant, Justin keenly caught the look in Sebastian's eyes. Despite that, he remained unperturbed.-Rosalie followed Sebastian back to their accommodation.The baby was still there.Rosalie kept holding him in her arms, unwilling to part with him. Throughout their journey to the airport, she kept carrying the baby, feeling terrible inside."I'm sorry. Mommy didn't take good care of you, and now I'm saying goodbye to you. But don

    "It's not that, Rose. There's been some issues at the company, and it's quite urgent. I have to go back to deal with it.""Really? What happened?""Some shareholders are causing trouble. I won't know the details until I get back, but my dad asked me to go back as soon as possible. It might be because of what happened to me recently, and now people at the company think I can't take over. They're starting to cause a ruckus and trying to seize power."Rosalie frowned, her expression becoming more serious. "Seb, does that mean you have to go back? When will you leave?""I'm leaving right now.""Right now? So soon?"Sebastian nodded. "Yes, the plane is already ready. I need to leave immediately. Rose, do you want to come back with me?""Seb, I can't go with you. I still need to stay here and take care of Justin. Plus, I haven't finished my studies yet."Sebastian sighed. "I figured as much, but I really have to go back now.""Then you should go back and deal with the situation first. Don't

    "Thank you for not giving up on me, thank you for steadfastly staying by my side, and thank you for praying for me."He seemed very haggard, as though he had endured endless torment. Yet, he still exuded a captivating handsomeness.Though his eyes appeared dim from exhaustion, they radiated determination. His deep, dark pupils seemed like a mystery, hiding countless untold stories.Rosalie was surprised. "How did you know I prayed?""I guessed," he said with a gentle smile, the corner of his mouth curving into a soft, charming arc.Rosalie smiled back at him. It wasn't too hard to guess, actually."Anyway, I'm glad that you're awake now. I'm sorry Theodore and Sebastian hurt you. They didn't know and thought you were a bad person. They were just too worried about me. I apologize on their behalf. Don't worry, I'll take responsibility for you. I'll cover all the medical bills and any future compensation and care. You don't need to worry about anything.""Those two men seem very concerned

    "Theo, no matter what the test results are, you can't keep torturing your stomach," Aurora said, her voice filled with concern as she held his hand against her cheek. "Now that you have me, you have to think about me. You can't keep neglecting your health."Theodore nodded, murmuring, "Okay. Alright, I promise.""Theo, could you lie down and hold me for a while? I suddenly feel a bit anxious."Aurora's fragile and helpless demeanor made it hard for Theodore to refuse."Alright, lie down," he said. He pressed a button, and the head of the hospital bed slowly lowered.Aurora lay back on the bed and Theodore lay down beside her, pulling her into his arms. She cupped his face, closed her eyes, and kissed his lips.Theodore gripped the back of her head and responded passionately, exchanging warmth and affection.He kissed her fiercely and fervently, the world around him disappearing.-Justin finally pulled through and was out of danger. After waking up, he was transferred to a regular ward

    "That's right. I thought that way too at first," Aurora said coldly. "I hate you so much for what you did. I did want you to rot in prison here, but then I thought about it more carefully. If you go to prison, won't Rosalie become single again? At that point, Theo will have a thousand reasons to get back together with her, and he'll abandon me."So, after thinking it through, I decided that you shouldn't go to prison and should stay by Rosalie's side forever. That way, Theodore won't have the chance to reconcile with his ex-wife. I'm actually doing this for my benefit more than yours."On the other end of the line, Sebastian was silent for a long time.Aurora's words made a lot of sense, but Sebastian, who was naturally suspicious, still couldn't fully trust her."Why should I trust you? If you're lying to me and this was a trap set up for me, wouldn't that mean I'm falling right into your hands?" he argued. "You don't have to trust me," Aurora said, "but once Theo leaves the hospital

    Aurora needed a very thorough examination, so it would take some time. Theodore had been accompanying her, though he seemed distracted and his thoughts kept drifting back to Rosalie's sorrowful face."Theo, do you need to see a doctor for your face?" Aurora asked, concerned. "It's all swollen.""It's fine," Theodore replied, "I'll be fine in a couple of days. Don't worry. Right now, you're the most important."Hearing what Theodore said warmed Aurora's heart."By the way, Theo, didn't you promise me last night that you'd get checked today too? Why don't you go now? We can do the check-up together.""It's fine. I'll stay with you and wait for you to finish first.""Theo, you should go first. We'll both need to wait for the results anyway, so don't waste time." Aurora was very concerned about Theodore's health.She wanted him to be well. After all, he was going to be her future husband. If both of them were in poor health, how could they manage?To reassure Aurora, Theodore gently patted

    The significance of Theodore verbally acknowledging her meant more than if they had slept together a hundred times. It meant that he genuinely accepted her from the bottom of his heart. All her efforts had not been in vain.Although Theodore wasn't her first man, she had just lied to him—this wasn't her first time doing it with a man at all.In fact, she was quite experienced. Aurora was far from the pure image she presented. She used to seek thrills often, enjoying the feeling of making men lose control.When she was with Theodore, she had only pretended to be inexperienced.Now that she was in love with Theodore, she realized just how blind she had been in the past. What were those other men? They had no money, no looks, and no build. Theodore was different, and she was determined to hold on to him tightly.When it came to winning over men, Aurora considered herself to have some skills and techniques.-Sebastian walked to a secluded area. He opened his hand, revealing a piece of pap

    Theodore closed his eyes and held Aurora in his arms tightly. He cupped the back of her head and planted a kiss on her forehead."Aurora, you're always so considerate of me. I really don't know what to say.""Then don't say anything."Aurora lifted her head and kissed his chin. "Theo, as long as you want me, I'll always be your woman. As your woman, I'm willing to do anything for you. I just want you to be happy."Blushing, Aurora nestled herself back into his arms, hugging him once more. Her hand rested on his chest, then slowly moved up to stroke his face.In Aurora's eyes, she already considered herself Theodore's woman. They had progressed this far; if that didn't make her his woman, then what would?Theodore lifted Aurora in his arms, carried her into the ward, and carefully laid her down on the bed."Aurora, I understand what you said to Sebastian earlier was for my sake, but it was also a bit unnecessary.""Why was it unnecessary?" Aurora asked, puzzled."You forgot that Sebast

    In this world, perhaps only Aurora was willing to go along with his lies, cooperating in his deceptions and accommodating him.No matter how strange his requests were, she accepted them wholeheartedly without ever questioning him.Why was Aurora so good to him? She was so good that it pained him. Maybe one day, he would truly fall in love with her."Mr. Carter, I have a few words I'd like to say to you," Aurora said. She gently released Theodore's hand and walked over to stand in front of Sebastian.Theodore grabbed her hand. "Don't go over there.""Theo, I just want to say a few words to him. Don't worry. I trust Mr. Carter would never harm me here, especially since this is a hospital with so many security cameras. He couldn't do anything reckless."The mention of "security cameras" seemed to carry an implied meaning.At that time, Sebastian had barged into Theodore's house and damaged the security cameras.Sebastian understood the implication in Aurora's words and let out a cold laug
