Chapter 258

Author: Night Revelations
“Let me help you,” Rosalie said, as she made a move to unbutton his shirt.

“No.” Theodore held her hand, and said firmly, “I can do it myself. I’m sure I can do something so simple myself.”

He lifted his arm with difficulty, and touched the first button. However, his fingers trembled non-stop, and he couldn’t unbutton the first button no matter how long he tried. Eventually, his arms slumped weakly back to side again.

He gritted his teeth, and stubbornly raised his arm in an attempt to unbutton his shirt again.

Rosalie’s heart broke as she grabbed his hand. “Let me help you, please. You’re injured, and it’s normal that you can’t do such things by yourself. Don’t be embarrassed. It’s not like I’ve never seen you shirtless, anyway.”

They had known each other for so long, and had been intimate during their marriage. What was the point in maintaining such boundaries at a time like this?

Theodore sighed, and let go of the button. He nodded and turned his head away weakly, a helpless l

    Theodore looked down, and mumbled like a child who did something wrong. “Don’t go.”He put his spoon back in the bowl with a pitiful look on his face and placed his hands on his lap, intertwining his fingers cautiously.Rosalie shook her head helplessly. She picked up her spoon, scooped some food, and brought it to his mouth. “Open up.”Theodore did so obediently, and Rosalie stuck the spoon in his mouth before going on with another spoonful of food.She took care of him like he was a child. A beautiful, tender woman coupled with a man with a piteous look on his face made for a heartwarming image.All traces of unhappiness vanished, leaving them with the pure joy of each other's presence.-Rosalie stayed there and took care of Theodore until it was past nine at night.It was getting late, and it was soon time for her to head back.Theodore noticed Rosalie checking her phone many times, as if checking the time. He looked begrudgingly at her.Rosalie slid her phone back in

    She should be stopping him from leaving and helping him back on the bed, sitting by his side and showing him concern, her heart softening for him. Yet, why did she look so cold?Rosalie shrugged. “Aren’t you leaving? Why are you asking me that?”Rosalie had seen through him. He had been playing this game for so long, she would be a fool if she didn’t realize what he was trying to do.For a moment, she had thought Theodore was being serious and found him pitiful. But now, she realized that he was just putting on an act with his excellent acting chops.The two of them stood where they were, staring at each other, a wide, gaping distance between them.“I’m really leaving,” Theodore said hastily, still in disbelief that she didn’t stop him. ‘She’s so vicious!’ he thought.“Go on,” Rosalie said, being ruthless through and through. She crossed her arms and sat on the bedside, looking leisurely at him.Theodore gritted his teeth and stepped out, but she remained resolutely unmoving

    Theodore had no idea why he suddenly behaved so obediently. Shouldn’t he have become more carefree and unrestrained after the divorce?As it turned out, he had much more to learn.Theodore yawned. He didn’t sleep well last night.Rosalie noticed the fatigue in his eyes. “Go to bed now.”“I need a shower,” Theodore said.“I’ll get a male servant to come help you. You can’t let your wound come in contact with water.”“You’re going to get another man to see my naked body?” Theodore said, clearly annoyed.He felt as though she was trying to push him to another man.“What’s wrong with that? It’s precisely because he’s a man that it’s appropriate for him to help you. I can’t possibly find a female servant to help you, can I?” Rosalie retorted.Theodore simply stared wordlessly at her.She finally understood where he was going. “Are you thinking…of having me help you shower?” she asked slowly. “Why not? It’s not like you’ve never done it before.”“We’re already divorced.”“So

    That was clearly Rosalie’s voice.What was going on? Why was she with Theodore at such a late hour? And was she preparing his shower?Were the two of them…Cynthia’s lips trembled. They were divorced! What on earth were they doing together?! They were clearly doing something indecent at such a late hour!No wonder Theodore didn’t visit her over the past two days. He was with Rosalie!How could Theodore lie to her?! How could he use work as an excuse?!That was exactly what Theodore did before when he had been with her. He used work as an excuse for Rosalie.Back then, Cynthia was smug about what he had done. She never expected herself to be on the receiving end of everything that Rosalie went through before!Cynthia took a deep breath, and pretended she didn’t hear anything. She couldn’t panic at this point.Theodore heard the voice coming from the washroom, and guessed that Cynthia might have heard it, too.Instead of avoiding the topic, he said, “Cindy, I’m with…”“Theo, I

    Theodore knew it was wishful thinking on his part.He didn’t know what was going on with him.Was it the wicked streak that was found in every man, or did he have a slight change of heart? Or perhaps he was just asking for it.When Rose stopped him from leaving and kicked up a fuss, he thought she was being unreasonable. Now that she had let go of things, his heart felt inexplicably empty.He was literally asking for it.“What’s the matter?” Rosalie asked, upon seeing Theodore in a daze. “Is there a problem?”Theodore shook his head. “Nothing. I’ll go take a shower.”He picked up his phone, and shut it off right before Rosalie.Rosalie couldn’t really figure out what Theodore was thinking right now. They were already divorced; even if he really did receive a call from Cynthia, it was perfectly acceptable for him to go to her.‘Forget it,’ she thought. Many strange things happened in this world. Sometimes, some things just don’t make sense.Theodore stood up by the bed.“Ar

    “Rosalie Young!” Theodore sat up on the bed. “Shame on you! Taking my money to keep men by your side? The cheek of you to say that in front of me!”He glared at her as he rebuked her.Rosalie covered her mouth, as if in shock. “Your…your money?”She put her hand down, and said haughtily, “So, Mr. Carter! Looks like you see that money as yours, and I have to ask you for permission before I can spend it. You still see me as an outsider! How could you claim to see me as your sister? You liar!”She turned her face away in feigned sorrow, pouting her lips and looking morose.Theodore panicked when he saw the misery on her face. “I didn’t mean that,” he said.“So what exactly did you mean? You said that I took your money to keep men by my side! Since you see the money in my account as yours, you should just take them all back, lest you see me as a charity case.”If Theodore really wanted all his money back, she would return them to him without any hesitation. She never wanted his mo

    Rosalie was about to say that Theodore should be more worried about Cynthia, but she suddenly recalled that Theodore didn’t want to hear any mention of her name.Each time they mentioned Cynthia, they always ended up upset.As such, Rosalie swallowed back her words. Instead, she said, “You should be worried about yourself instead.”Theodore seemed to have guessed what Rosalie originally wanted to say, but since she held herself back, he didn’t expose her. He took her cue in avoiding the topic of Cynthia.“Rose, whether you believe it or not, I have no malicious intent whatsoever. I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt. Men are all horrible creatures. I’m just trying to help you discern between good and bad.”He was genuine about it—and, if he was willing to admit it, slightly jealous.“As my ex-husband, you might be willing to be the gate-keeper of my new relationship, but my new partner might not be agreeable to that,” Rosalie said reluctantly.Theodore furrowed his brows. “Have

    “Isn’t that good?” Rosalie said, her eyes shining. “I used to be so mature, it was exhausting. I don’t want to tire myself out like that.”It felt good being happy. Many people in this world often ended up under the influence of their negativity.No matter what happened, life would go on. While that remained a fact, many found it hard to let things go and remain positive.Theodore could sense that Rosalie wanted to completely let go of something in her heart, and the thought tugged at his heart.He realized that he was a bastard through and through.He had gone through with the divorce to free Rosalie from the shackles of their marriage. They were now divorced—she could finally be happy, and no longer needed to tolerate being in this marriage.Yet, now that she was ready to let it go, he felt slightly indignant.Not just slightly, but perhaps rather significantly.He dared not continue this line of thought. He was worried that the more he thought about it, the more he would unc

"Justin, I'm sorry for not coming to visit for such a long time."The last time she came back was a few months ago, during which she snuck a peak at his tombstone.Rosalie pulled out a bone fragment. "That's because you're always by my side, which is why I think that I can bring you everywhere I go. You're not just here at this tombstone."Justin, Theo and I have reconciled. He did so much for me, even sacrificing his own life for me. I can't just stand idly by and do nothing about it.

    Jake had so much fun today and was exhausted by the time he reached home. After his shower, he crawled into bed and fell right asleep without any coaxing whatsoever. Jake would sometimes sleep in the bedroom with Chelsea, and sometimes they slept separately.At night, when Rosalie went to Chelsea's room to tuck her in and tell her a bedtime story, she asked, "Chelsea, how was your day with Theodore?""Hmm, it was alright," Chelsea said. "But Mr. Spencer was so silly, he burnt the food. I only got to eat lunch very late.""Is that so?" Rosalie burst out laughing. "How silly of him indeed.""But Mr. Spencer is quite nice," Chelsea said. "I like him. He said that I can call him Daddy."Rosalie's eyes lit up. "Do you want to call him that?""I do," Chelsea said with a nod, "but I'll do that tomorrow."Chelsea yawned. She felt tired, too.Rosalie caressed her cheek. "Goodnight, my darling. Go to sleep."-Rosalie returned to her room, took a shower, and laid on the bed. Theodo

    Their parent-child bonding efforts officially began the next day.Rosalie brought Jake to the theme park. In the beginning, Jake felt rather stiff and reserved. It was his first time alone with his mom, after all.As time went by, Rosalie's earnestness, concern, and gentle patience with him slowly opened him up.They sat on the carousel, drove the bumper cars, rode on the Viking ship, zoomed down slides, bounced on the trampolines, and sailed on mini-boats. They had a whale of a time.Jake was covered with sweat, but he was so happy, he didn't want the day to end.He had grown closer to his mom, so much so that he would jump into her arms, hugging her and asking for kisses.Rosalie did not hold back from expressing her love for him and even carried him on her back as they continued exploring the park.Jake was very obedient and came down very soon, for fear that Rosalie might get tired. They moved on to the next attraction hand-in-hand.Rosalie found out one thing from Jake, wh

    Some time later, Rosalie realized that Jake was being rather sullen.Each time she asked him whether something was wrong, he would brush her away, claiming that he was fine before running off.It was a Saturday, and Rosalie didn't need to go to work. She was seated on the couch with a book when Chelsea ran over, her braids swaying behind her. "Mommy, can you give me a hug?"How could Rosalie say no to her adorable little daughter? She shut the book and said, "But of course. Come on over."Rosalie opened her arms, very willing to show Chelsea affection.Chelsea crawled up onto the couch happily, sitting on Rosalie's lap and diving into her embrace.Jake happened to see it all.Rosalie noticed Jake standing a short distance away and was about to say something to him when he ran off.The smile on Rosalie's face faded as a look of worry took over.At night, Rosalie put Chelsea under Theodore's care and went to Jake, wanting to speak to him alone."Jake, what's with you recently

    A gentle breeze lifted the curtains slightly in the deep of the night.Rosalie laid in Theodore's embrace, panting slightly. Her cheek leaned against his chest, feeling his heart pounding heavily, and her cheeks flushed.She never expected this day to come between her and Theodore, yet everything happened in a flash. He went to bed with her just like that, bewitched and completely infatuated with her.Although they were once husband and wife and had been intimate countless times, this felt different from the last. Things felt more intense this time around."Rose, are you happy?"Although Theodore's liver had been doing well over the last three months of recuperation, he was still worried that his fitness level might be affected before his liver was fully recovered.Rosalie gave him a slight smile. "Of course, I am. You almost crushed me."Her face flushed the moment she spoke those words. She hugged Theodore tight, feeling safe and secure.She could sense that he was telling th

    "Theo, have you had a woman over the past five years?" Rosalie asked very frankly.They weren't naive young men and women but mature adults with experience in this matter.Theodore was a red-blooded young man who had his needs. Suppressing his desires, which were absolutely normal, would only jeopardize his health.Theodore was getting angry. "Am I someone like that to you, going to bed with a woman I don't love just to satisfy my physical needs?""Aren't men all like that?" Rosalie said. She didn't mean it in a scornful way but simply highlighted it as a typical observation.Lonely men and women in the city were bound to seek companionship in some places and part ways after the night.Someone as powerful and influential as Theodore wouldn't even need to go searching for someone else. Women flocked toward him like bees to honey."Why can't I be an exception?" He was in no state whatsoever to find another woman over the past five years and would always deal with his sexual desire

However, this book was only available in Briusian and not exported to Blencalgo.Rosalie's book
