Chapter 357

Penulis: Night Revelations
After hearing Rosalie out, Sydney fell silent.

Her first thought was that Theodore was in trouble.

As it turned out, Rosalie stayed up the entire night reading through the documents to identify the problem with Regent Co. not for his sake at all. Quite the opposite—she did it for Sebastian.

Sydney suddenly laughed, the sound laced with helplessness and irony.

Theodore wasn’t the only one who misunderstood the situation. She did, too. She really thought that Rosalie did it for her son, but she never expected…

Rosalie clearly had her priorities in place, more so than Sydney did in her younger days. The girl might look weak and vulnerable, but she had a clear mind and knew exactly what she needed to do.

Meanwhile, Rosalie didn’t understand why Sydney was laughing. “Mom? What’s the matter?”

“Nothing,” Sydney said, looking at Rosalie. “So Geoffrey Carter threatened you with his son, and you accepted it because you care about his son very soon?”

“Seb’s a good friend of mine,” Rosali

    “I saw her. She was in a bad mood,” Rosalie said.“I know she’s in a bad mood,” Wesley said darkly. “Do you know why?”“I don’t.”Rosalie realized that even when Sydney scolded Wesley and told him to scram, he never complained. He had probably gotten used to it.He then asked, “Did you ask her about it?”“I did, but she didn’t want to tell me.”Wesley sighed. “It’s all my fault. If what happened in the past didn’t happen, she’d probably be a lot happier now.”“Dad, sometimes, when the other party doesn’t want to be bothered, you shouldn’t bother her. That would make her much happier,” Rosalie said calmly, though her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.These men were bent on doing whatever they pleased, and hurt those who cared about them without regard for anyone. When they eventually realized their mistakes, they turned around and acted all affectionate and devoted.How could a single word of apology make up for the terrible hurt they had caused?Wesley fell silent. After a whil

    On the other end, Theodore realized that Rosalie had rejected his call.Anger rose up in his chest as he called her again. However, an electronic voice replied to him. “The number you’ve dialed is unavailable at the moment. Please try again later.”She was probably still busy.Theodore put his phone aside, and waited patiently. After around ten minutes, he picked his phone up and called her again.“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable at the moment…”He heard the same electronic voice again.His face tensed up, and a bad feeling washing over him. He clicked open his WhatsApp, and typed Rosalie a text. [Rose, you can tell me whatever’s on your mind. Don’t keep it to yourself. I’ll help you solve whatever problem you have. We’re family.]He re-read his text over and over again before finally sending it. However, he soon saw a red question mark right next to the text.His mind buzzed, as if something had hit his head, registering the sudden shock. He looked stunned.

    Theodore shut his eyes, and tried to control the fire burning in his heart.“Stop laughing,” he hissed.His chest was almost bursting with anger.Sydney coughed dryly, and said, “Fine, I’ll stop laughing. I have no idea why Rose blocked you. Why don’t I bring her along to our next meeting? I did ask Rose to come with me when I meet you. That’s a good chance for you to ask her.”“In that case…” Theodore said, “let’s meet tonight. Ask Rose along, too.”“I’ll call her later and ask if she’s free,” Sydney promised. “She is free,” Theodore said. “She doesn’t need to work now, and she has lots of time on her hands. If she says she’s not free, it must be an excuse. Don’t let her have her way.”The arrogance in Theodore’s voice made Sydney furrow her brows.“No wonder she blocked you.”“What?” Theodore furrowed his brows as well. “Do you know why she did it?”Sydney sighed. “Son, it’s because sometimes…you’re annoying.”Theodore was stunned.It was the first time in his entire lif

    "You want me to be more proactive? Are you saying I should keep her here to prevent her from going elsewhere?""Isn't it better to keep her here? She's been staying with the Spencers for so many years. There’s no reason for her to go so far away," Theodore said. When Rosalie went to college, he didn't let her go somewhere far away. He admitted that he was a bit selfish for not wanting her to be too far from him, like a helicopter parent who wanted to keep his children close.But if she really wanted to go to another place for college, he wouldn't have stopped her. Fortunately, she listened to him and stayed in Ashwick City for college.Sydney raised her eyebrow, her eyes glinting slyly. "I think I heard Rose mention that she wants to travel.""Where does she want to go?" Theodore frowned, looking a bit uneasy."I don't know. She just mentioned it casually, and I didn't ask for details. It's normal for her to want to travel. There’s not much to ask.""Well, you should have at le

    Sebastian booked a private room.Before coming, he had called Rosalie, offering to pick her up. She refused and insisted on driving herself, so he didn't push further.He arrived at the private room early, and waited for Rosalie and Yvonne to bring Lily over. He wasn't sure if who Yvonne chose was reliable or not. He was worried they might be exposed.Sebastian still had some time. He took out his phone, and called Yvonne.At the club, Yvonne was sprawled on a couch, sound asleep, when her phone’s piercing ringtone woke her up. Irritated, she felt for her phone and answered the call grumpily. "Who is it?""Yvonne, where are you right now?" Hearing Sebastian’s voice, Yvonne jolted awake and scrambled off the couch. "Is that you, Seb?""You’re asking me?" Sebastian's voice was cold. "Did you forget what I asked you to do last night? Did you find Lily? Hurry up and get over here!"Boom! Yvonne was thunderstruck.Sebastian frowned at Yvonne’s silence. "You didn't mess things up

    In the private room of the restaurant…Sebastian checked the time repeatedly. He was beginning to regret entrusting such an important task to the unreliable Yvonne. She must have run into some problem.Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Rosalie walked in. "Seb."Sebastian jumped up immediately. "Rose, you’re early."The usually composed CEO of Skycrest Enterprise was now like a boy who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar in front of Rosalie.Rosalie smiled. "I didn't have much to do, so I came early. You’re early too.""Yeah," Sebastian replied awkwardly. He hadn't expected Rosalie to arrive so early, and it derailed his plans completely.Rosalie walked over, and noticed his pale face. "Seb, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?""N-No," Sebastian said, stammering from panic. "I'm fine. Please, sit down. Would you like something to drink?"Rosalie shook her head. "No, I'm fine. Let's just wait for a bit. Is Yvonne coming over with Lily now?""Not yet.

    "Why isn’t Yvonne here yet? Could something have happened to her? Call her and ask," Rosalie said—not out of impatience, but concern."Okay, I'll call her. Wait here for a moment." Sebastian took his phone and walked out.Rosalie watched him leave, puzzled. Why did Sebastian need to go outside to make a call?However, she didn't think too much about it. She leaned back in her chair, gently touching her belly, and smiled. "Sweetie, once we settle Mr. Carter's affairs, Mommy will take you to a beautiful place. Then, it'll be just you and me."-Sebastian called Yvonne again.She only answered after more than ten seconds. "Seb."Sebastian was a bit annoyed. "Where are you now? Tell me the truth. Did you find the right person or not?""I'm already here!" He heard Yvonne's voice near him.Sebastian turned around, and saw Yvonne leading a woman toward them hurriedly.Lily followed behind Yvonne, panting and nearly too tired to stand straight. She had met this weird customer at t

    What was the problem with her being called Lily? Couldn’t she use that name?Rosalie extended her hand, still smiling kindly. "Hello, I'm Rosalie Young. Nice to meet you."Lily blankly extended her hand to shake Rosalie's. "Hello, Miss Young."The two were so polite to each other, even Yvonne couldn't stand watching anymore. What was with this situation? Her brother was even better at creating awkwardness than she was!"Great! Everyone knows each other now. Let's hurry to the private room. I'm starving! Have we ordered yet?" she said."We have, but since I didn't know when you'd arrive, the dishes haven't been served yet," Rosalie replied."Then I'll go ask the waiter to serve the food." Yvonne dashed to the waiter as if she was fleeing. She said a few words to him before hurrying into the private room, avoiding her brother's gaze the entire time.The three of them stood there in awkward silence, not knowing what to say.Rosalie noticed that Lily and Sebastian seemed a bit un

    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
