Rosalie tugged Sydney’s sleeve and pulled at it, shaking her head profusely at her.

She mouthed, “Ask him when he’s free, and that you can wait.”

The corner of Sydney’s mouth twitched. She coughed dryly, and put out the cigarette between her fingers.

“In that case, when are you free? You can’t possibly be busy all the time, can you?”

“I’m busy all the time.”

His heartless rejection made Sydney’s brows furrow. A piercing pain shot through her chest. She could sense that Theodore didn’t want to have a meal with her, or even see his own mother.

Before Rosalie could say anything further, Sydney decided that she would give it another shot. “Are you sure you aren’t free? Not even for half an hour?”

“I’m sorry, no.”

Sydney’s grip over her phone tightened, and she chuckled helplessly. “Alright, then. Go ahead and be busy. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Sydney was about to hang up when Rosalie snatched the phone from her hand and said to the man on the line, “Theodore Spencer!”

    “Alright. I’ll hand the phone over to your mom. Set the date and time between yourselves.”Rosalie handed the phone back to Sydney.Sydney was still stunned from what Rosalie had just done, but managed to take the phone from her and put it to her ear.Theodore said something to her before she nodded and said, “Alright, I got it.”“Alright, then.”“Okay, goodbye.”Sydney hung up, and turned to say to Rosalie, “I’ve set the date and venue of our meeting.”Rosalie heaved a sigh of relief. She was just trying her luck just now, and didn’t really expect her attempt to turn out successful. “That’s good. I just hope you two can have a good talk. Please don’t end up fighting. You two have already missed out on so much time together, so you should treasure every moment you have together. You two are mother and son, after all. I know you love your son, and that Theo really needs you,” she said. “But I really have no idea how to be a mother. I’m too trapped in my own world. I’ve lived

    Rosalie didn’t know what to say at that point. Sydney’s words seemed to make sense, and she couldn’t say anything to refute it.“Do you still want to read through them?” Sydney asked.Rosalie nodded. “I do, but can I bring them back?”“Don’t bother. Just read through them here, and go back whenever you’re done. It’s tiring to take back so many documents.”“But…” Rosalie flipped through the documents in the box. “There are just too many documents. One day isn’t enough for me to go through them all. Also, I have to analyze and think through the data, and even do some checking. I think…”“Don’t worry about it. Just stay here overnight. I have everything you need anyway, so feel free to use them. Oh, yes. There’s food in the fridge. You can cook lunch this afternoon, or order takeout. I have something to attend to, and I need to head out. I’ll buy some clean underwear for you before I come home later.”In light of Sydney’s offer, Rosalie had no choice but to nod her head in agreement

    Rosalie nodded with a smile. “Okay.”“Did you find anything after looking through all those documents?” Sydney asked.Rosalie said, “They crunched their numbers so beautifully, it’s almost perfect. But I don’t think it’s possible for a large company to not encounter any issues at all, what with their sudden, rapid expansion within such a short period of time. Sometimes, the more perfect something seems, the greater the hidden issues—maybe even more so than something that appears imperfect.”She went on, “What’s more, the share price of Regent Co. is very high right now. I have a feeling it’s going to be an open target.”Sydney smiled. “Not bad, you have potential. Sometimes, however, it’s not enough to just judge based on a feeling. You have to present solid evidence to convince others.”Rosalie nodded. “Okay. I’ll continue searching for it.”Sydney said, “Don’t be anxious. Take it easy. You must have patience in whatever you do.”Rosalie nodded. “I got it.”“But…” Sydney said

    Sydney couldn’t explain why, either. She simply felt that Theodore liked Rosalie very much. Yet, his actions and decisions were so confusing.She also didn’t want to give Rosalie empty hope. If she were mistaken, it would only lead to disappointments for Rosalie.They were already divorced, anyway. It no longer mattered what Theodore really felt.“Yes, I have no idea what’s blinding him. I can’t figure out what’s so good about Cynthia Zeller. At least the woman Wesley fell in love with back then was a true talent.”Rosalie smiled. “Maybe Theo just found his soulmate. No matter who she is, she’s bound to make him fall in love with her.”Love sometimes didn’t make sense. Yet, sometimes it was all that mattered—even if others find it illogical and foolish.“What about you? Do you like Theo?” Sydney asked.Rosalie’s heart raced.Sydney stared at her. “What’s the matter?”“Mom, we’re already divorced. None of this matters anymore.” Rosalie’s voice was hoarse, as if a blade was stuc

    Rosalie was still busy in the study. Sydney had given her a new notebook, which she had filled up.She was halfway through the box of documents; she didn’t bother counting, and simply read the documents page by page.Just then, her phone buzzed. Rosalie remained unperturbed, and continued jotting down notes until her phone buzzed again.She furrowed her brows, and grabbed her phone. Glancing at the incoming text, she saw found it was from Theodore.The first text read, ‘Are you asleep?’The second text read, ‘??’Rosalie typed on her phone, ‘I’m not asleep yet.’But before she sent it out, something came to mind.If she told him that she wasn’t asleep yet, he was bound to ask her what she was doing. It was going to take her time to reply to him.She didn’t want to chat with Theodore right now. She was long past the time when she felt excited whenever he contacted her.Time was of the essence, and she had to read through all the documents.As such, she deleted her original me

    “Mom, are you picking on Rose again? I knew nothing good would come out of her being with you! Did you make her do all your work? And she did it the entire night! Why are you being like this? Does it make you glad to be a wicked mother-in-law?”Sydney remained calm in the face of her son’s accusations. “What do you mean, wicked mother-in-law? Just listen to yourself. She’s my daughter now. Can’t I teach my own daughter a thing or two? She’s been going through my documents since yesterday afternoon, and didn’t get a wink last night. I’m very proud of my daughter for being so resilient and hardworking.”“You’re doing this on purpose. I’m heading over right now. Stop bullying her!”“Why are you coming over? Do you want to blow things up and get Rosalie caught in the middle and feel bad about it?”Theodore said coldly, “Should I continue allowing you to harass her, then? I’m going to take her away from you!”“How do you know that she’s not doing it willingly? She was the one who ask

    “No,” Theodore said in a panic. “I won’t interrupt you. Go ahead and read your documents, but don’t hang up.”He wanted to help her with her work.Rosalie’s eyes flashed with doubt. “Why?”“No particular reason. Just don’t hang up and continue with your work.”“Fine.” Rosalie didn’t know what Theodore was up to. She pushed her phone away, and continued reading.When she was finally done reading through every single document, she felt overwhelmed with fatigue. Eye bags hung heavily below her eyes.She stumbled to the hall, and saw Sydney preparing breakfast in the kitchen.Upon hearing footsteps, Sydney turned around. “You’re done?”Rosalie nodded. “Yes.”“You were up the whole night. I thought you’d at least sleep a little last night.”Rosalie smiled and sat at the table, still in a daze. She slumped on the table and said, “I felt a burst of energy, and wanted to read through everything in one go. Before I knew it, the sun was rising.”She placed her phone on the table.Syd

    After a few seconds, Rosalie looked up and said, “Mom, I’ll go take a nap.”She was just too tired.“Sleep after breakfast,” Sydney said as she served up the last plate of food. “It’ll just take a few minutes. You might not be hungry, but your baby certainly is.”Rosalie nodded. “All right then,” she acquiesced.She looked down, and rubbed her belly. “I’m sorry, baby. I stayed up last night, and I’m sure you didn’t rest well, too. I’ll rest later, okay?”Sydney saw the bleary look on Rosalie’s face, and found it rather adorable.From the sound of their conversation just now, Rosalie and Theodore looked just like a married couple having a tiff. Despite the heated words, their relationship looked great. No one would have guessed that they were divorced.Had they known, they would surely be confused as to why they would be divorced despite their great relationship.It felt strange, however. They were already divorced, but Theodore seemed to be bugging Rosalie incessantly.His f

    Rosalie asked this on purpose as she wanted to hear Sebastian's response. Had he truly returned to the country out of guilt, or was everything just a coincidence and the company issues had truly forced him back?"Actually, Rose," Sebastian said, "after I came back, I realized the situation is worse than I thought, so I won't be going to Melrine anytime soon. I just can't find the time.""I see." Rosalie lowered her gaze, a little disappointed.It just so happened that he returned to the country now, but it seemed that he also didn't dare to come back to Melrine. Was he really avoiding the authorities?But who had tipped Sebastian off? Could Sebastian have planted someone around Theodore? Who could it be?Rosalie forced a smile. "Alright then, I hope you sort out the company's matters at home. Don't worry about things here in Melrine. I'll come back as soon as I finish my studies.""Okay. Rose, why don't you talk to Steve for a bit?"Rosalie looked at the child on the screen, her eyes f

    The sky gradually darkened.By now, Rosalie's IV drip bag was empty.She wanted to go to the bathroom. She had just gotten out of bed when Theodore stepped forward to support her.Rosalie immediately pulled away from his arm, her tone cold. "I can manage."With that, she carefully made her way to the bathroom, closed the door, and locked it.Theodore felt helpless.Later, she came out of the bathroom. She had finished washing up and returned to bed to lie down. "I'm going to sleep now. You can go back."Theodore didn't say anything but sat down on the couch."Go ahead and sleep." He picked up a magazine, and began flipping through it.Seeing his demeanor, Rosalie knew she couldn't change his mind. She turned to the other side, facing away from him.Theodore put down the magazine and secretly watched her. He cautiously walked over and adjusted the blanket on her, then returned to sit on the couch.Late at night, Rosalie's phone rang. It was a video call from Sebastian.Rosalie glanced d

    "So, Dad, I can stay in Blencalgo without worry for now, right?"As they say, experience came with age. His father's connections and resources were certainly more extensive than his own.Sebastian had committed the offense in Melrine, but now he was back in Blencalgo. There was no extradition agreement between Melrine and Blencalgo, and Blencalgo had no law enforcement rights over him. Coupled with his background, he could escape any danger."I can help you this time, but next time, you'd better be more careful. If you're going to do bad things, don't let anyone have anything on you."Sebastian lowered his head. "I understand. I'll be more careful next time."Geoffrey's gaze lingered on him for a long moment before asking, "I heard you brought the child back."Sebastian nodded. "Yes. Rose is staying there to finish her studies, so I thought I'd bring him back to take care of him. After all, I've been looking after him all this time.""You really are something, raising another man's chi

    "What question?" Sebastian asked. "Are you pregnant? Which man did you fool around with?""Seb, why are you acting like this?" Yvonne retorted. "I didn't mean that! I was going to ask you something.""Ask me? What is it?"Yvonne thought for a moment, then said, "Have you and Rose...consummated your marriage?"Sebastian furrowed his brow. "What on earth are you talking about?"Yvonne's heart skipped a beat. She had been indirect enough. "Well, Seb… You two are married now, and Rose has a child. Have you…?"Sebastian gave her head a tap, though not gently."Ouch! Why did you hit me, Seb?" Yvonne rubbed her head."Don't mention this again."Seeing the gloomy expression on Sebastian's face, Yvonne seemed to realize something. Could it be that he and Rosalie hadn't slept together yet? If that was the case, then it was great."Vonnie, hold the baby for a moment." Sebastian handed Steve to Yvonne.Yvonne took Steve into her arms. "You're so cute."The baby in her arms was soft and cuddly, lik

    "I-I didn't mean it like that. I-I just blurted it out. Why are you being so harsh?" she said, stuttering.Could the treatment he went through damaged his brain and caused a change in his personality?Why did it feel like Sebastian's gaze had become so dark? It was completely different from the warm look he used to have. Was it just her imagination?Sebastian pursed his lips. "Vonnie, stop saying things that upset me. You know very well that I treat him as my own. Next time, don't speak without thinking. It could be bad if someone else hears it. After all, Theodore doesn't know about this yet. Do you understand?"Yvonne nodded. "I understand, Seb, but why is Rose staying in Melrine? Did she not want to take care of him? Or is she coming back soon?""She's busy with her studies over there. I wanted to take care of him, and he's more attached to me, so I brought him back to look after him. Once she's done with her studies, she'll come back.""So, from the way you're speaking, you're not

    "Steve, isn't your mother being unreasonable? How could she treat me like this?" Sebastian said. "I just left, and she took advantage of my absence to get together with her ex-husband. I'm livid."But I know this can't be Rose's fault. It must be Theodore who seduced her."Steve, who was awake, blinked his big, round eyes.Sebastian picked him up and held him in his arms."You wouldn't do this to me, would you? Steve, you're with me now. Don't worry, I won't blame your mother. If I blame anyone, it'll be Theodore. It's that man who destroyed everything. I won't let him get away with it."Sebastian held Steve's small hand. "We, father and son, must be of one mind, right? When you grow up, you'll help your dad get revenge. You'll make sure to teach those who've bullied your dad a lesson.""Seb, you're back!" Yvonne rushed in.Upon hearing that Sebastian had returned, Yvonne hurried over. She saw Sebastian sitting on the couch, holding Steve in his arms.Yvonne was overjoyed and ran over

    Theodore told Rosalie that Aurora was pregnant, but now, she knew that Aurora had a heart condition and needed a heart transplant. How could Aurora possibly be pregnant, then?"We weren't careful," Theodore said. "We didn't use protection, and she got pregnant. So now, I have to cherish her and make sure she doesn't come to any harm."Rosalie was left speechless. She didn't know what to say. Theodore was absurd—he found a woman who resembled her, and coincidentally, that woman had a heart condition and became pregnant. Was this man out of his mind?If Rosalie thought about it, Aurora did look a little like her. Plus, Aurora shared some traits with Cynthia—heart disease and fragile health.Theodore was a true romantic, wasn't he? He had found a new woman who combined the traits of his two previous lovers.What if, in the future, after breaking up with Aurora, he found a fourth woman? Would the woman have combined features of his first three women?The more Rosalie thought about it, the

    "Why would I lie to you?" Theodore asked. "If you don't believe me, I can call the doctor for you to ask yourself."Aurora stared at Theodore, as though trying to read something from his eyes. "As long as you're okay, Theo. That's all that matters." She burrowed into his arms, hugging him tightly. "I was so worried about you.""Don't worry. I'm fine. With you here, how could anything happen to me?"Aurora looked up at him, joy in her eyes. "Theo, why do you feel that having me by your side keeps you safe?""Because you're my lucky star. You're my muse," he said, holding her hand and kissing her fingers tenderly."Theo, you're my hero. Since meeting you, my life has been so blessed." She clung to him, her face glowing with happiness, the picture of a bashful, love-struck woman. "I'm willing to do anything for you, even if it costs me my life.""Silly girl. Don't say things like that again," he said, caressing her cheek gently. "I don't want your life. I want you to live well.""Theo, I

    "You don't need to worry about me," Justin interrupted Rosalie. "The medical staff here will take care of me. You should focus on your things. Don't waste your time on me. I won't recover anytime soon, and I don't want to delay your studies.""But if I don't stay here to take care of you, how can I feel at ease?" Rosalie argued. She could only feel reassured if she stayed and watched over him."I'll be fine whether you're here or not. Go to your classes and finish your coursework as soon as possible. Once your classes are done, you can find time to visit me. There's no need to stay by my side all the time. It's a huge waste of your time.""I don't think it's a waste at all. I just want you to recover quickly.""I'll recover whether you're here or not," Justin said firmly. "Right now, I want you to focus on your studies and your responsibilities. Don't you want to return to your country sooner to see your child?"Rosalie fell silent. His words struck a chord deep within her."If you sta
