At nine o’clock the next day, Rosalie was woken up by her phone ringing.

She opened her eyes, and realized that she had overslept. She usually didn’t wake up this late.

Rosalie was still feeling woozy as she sat up on the bed. She reached for her phone, and saw an incoming call. Her heart leapt, and she answered the call immediately.

“Hey, Mom.”

“Rose, are you up?” Sydney asked.

“I am,” Rosalie said as she combed her fingers through her hair, feeling slightly guilty. She looked like a little girl who got caught by her mother for sleeping in, and she dared not admit it. “What’s up, Mom?”

“I’m meeting Geoffrey for lunch later. Join me.”

“Join you? Are you sure, Mom?”

“Do you want me to meet that cunning businessman all by myself?”

“Well, no,” Rosalie said hurriedly. “Of course not, Mom. I’ll go with you.”

She had a part to play in this meeting between her mom and Geoffrey. She introduced them for the sake of helping Sebastian, and had begged her mom to meet Geoffrey. She could

    Geoffrey had booked the entire restaurant.He had wanted to send a car to fetch Sydney to the restaurant, but she rejected the idea and he didn’t push it. It was enough that he got to meet her.He arrived early at the restaurant, and waited patiently until he saw Sydney and Rosalie in his line of sight.He immediately stood up. With a wave of his hand, he said, “I’m over here.”Sydney glanced at him and stopped in her footsteps, looking slightly stunned. There was a mix of emotions in her eyes.Very soon, she composed herself and walked toward him step by step. Rosalie followed behind her, feeling slightly nervous.Sydney and Geoffrey both exuded commanding auras, and it seemed to make the air around them warmer. Sydney was cold as ice.Rosalie stood behind her like a meek little lamb.Geoffrey fixed his gaze on Sydney, with a faint smile that looked deliberate.“President Harper, we finally meet.” Geoffrey reached a hand out to shake Sydney’s hand.His hand paused in midai

    Geoffrey smiled politely. "I have a simple request. I mainly want to meet President Harper. There’s nothing beyond that. Don't think too badly of me. Not everyone has an ulterior motive.""Threatening my daughter-in-law with your own son, and then telling me you have no ulterior motive? Chairman Carter, we're not children or idiots, so let's not lie with our eyes wide open," Sydney snapped.She was filled with rage. Every word she said was sharp, and she wasn’t showing Geoffrey any courtesy.Rosalie didn't expect Sydney to be so direct, either.Sydney turned her head, and said, "Rose, go pick out some seafood. Choose the freshest ones.""Okay." Rosalie stood up. "You two chat first."It seemed they had things to discuss.The waiter led Rosalie to the seafood section. "This way, please." All the seafood here was live, and selected on the spot.After Rosalie left, Geoffrey discarded his polite demeanor.Sydney's expression grew colder. "Geoffrey, what are you playing at? Do yo

    Meanwhile, Rosalie picked out the seafood.When she returned, she saw from a distance that Geoffrey and Sydney were still talking. She didn't know what they were discussing. Worried she might interrupt them by approaching them now, she sat nearby and waited.Suddenly, she remembered that she had told Sebastian last night that she would call him once she was feeling better. Now that she had some free time, she dialed Sebastian's number.Sebastian picked up immediately. "Hello, Rose.""Seb, it's me. Sorry about leaving early last night.""It's okay, it was an emergency. It wasn’t your fault. Are you feeling better now?" Sebastian asked.Rosalie responded with a hum. "I'm much better. By the way, how did it go with Miss Yancey last night? After I left, did you get along well with her?"Seeing that Sebastian remained silent, Rosalie asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you talk with her? How do you expect to win a girl's heart like this? If you really can't manage, ask Vonnie to help you. S

    Seeing how eager Rosalie was to clarify herself, it seemed she really had nothing to do with Sebastian.Sydney was an objective and fair person, and she wasn't someone who would side with family over reason. But Theodore was her son, so she was somewhat biased toward him."So that's how it is." Geoffrey nodded. "I understand. Now, I can rest assured about Sebastian getting married.""What?" Rosalie asked in confusion. "Sebastian’s getting married?"Geoffrey said, "Yes. He's not young anymore. It's time for him to settle down and start a family. I've already chosen a wife for him."Rosalie frowned. "Who is she?""A friend's daughter, whom I watched grow up. I like her a lot, and most importantly, her father and I have a good relationship and some business dealings."Hearing Geoffrey's explanation, Rosalie understood everything completely. This was an undisguised business alliance."Did Sebastian agree?" Rosalie asked."He’s the eldest son of the Carter family. This is his respo

    He should be grateful to himself for threatening others.Geoffrey noticed Rosalie's lukewarm reaction, and seemed to understand something. "I know you don't have a good impression of me, but I have a reason for everything I do. As a father, I naturally care about my son's happiness. But since he doesn't have a girlfriend now, even if I wanted to fulfill his wishes, I wouldn't have the opportunity. “I know my son. If we wait for him to get married on his own, who knows when that will be? The woman I've found for him is very nice. I believe they will be well-suited for each other once they get to know each other.""Mr. Carter, you may think they will get along well after getting to know each other, but Sebastian might not feel the same way. What if he refuses? What will you do, then?" Rosalie asked. She wanted to know what consequences Sebastian would face."So he better not refuse." Geoffrey's voice turned a bit colder. "You can also persuade him to accept my arrangement.""Me,

    Rosalie married Theodore for love and not interest, but they still got divorced. So, how was one supposed to maintain a marriage? Neither love nor interests worked. It was no wonder that more and more people were reluctant to get married, preferring to live alone for the sake of freedom and ease.Rosalie took a deep breath, and tried hard to compose herself before asking, "Sebastian is your son. Don’t you care about his happiness at all?""From what you're saying, you want him to be happy? Then tell me, what should I do to make him happy?" Geoffrey asked."Let him choose for himself," she said. "He has the right to choose the woman he wants. His marriage should be his decision, regardless of the outcome. It's his choice, not something imposed on him by others."Geoffrey slowly straightened his sleeves. "I see. Seems like you really care about him. It's a pity..." He sighed."Pity about what?" Rosalie asked.Before Geoffrey could answer, Sydney returned. "What are you two talk

    “Seb, you don't have to worry. Your father wasn't here to see me today, but my mother-in-law, the president of Apex Bank. I was just accompanying her. Nothing happened.”“Really?”“Really. If something had happened, would I still be sitting here talking to you? Don’t worry too much.”Sebastian heaved a sigh of relief. “That's good. Rose, if you need to meet my father next time, let me know in advance. I didn't know about today’s meeting.”“It’s fine, Seb. Your father wouldn’t do anything outrageous to me. By the way, do you know that he…”“What about him?” Sebastian asked.Rosalie suddenly remembered that Sydney was sitting next to her, so she said, “Seb, let’s talk about it next time we meet. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I’m fine. I’m heading home now.”“Alright, call me when you get home, just so I know that you're safe.”“Okay, I will. Bye.” Rosalie hung up.She turned, and saw Sydney staring meaningfully at her.Feeling awkward, she forced herself to smile. “He call

    By the time Rosalie got home, it was already half-past one.She had promised to call Sebastian to let him know she was safe, but she didn't feel like talking, so she sent him a text message instead. [Seb, I’m home now. Don’t worry.]Sebastian replied, [Okay. I’m glad you’re home.]Rosalie sat on the sofa and started browsing the rentals that were available in for Hullbeck, the city she had chosen to stay. She would leave the day after tomorrow. Tonight, she would accompany Sydney to meet Theodore, and tomorrow, she would spend the day with her grandmother. The day after that, she would leave.Rosalie quietly planned out what she would do once she got there. She would buy some books to read during her pregnancy. After she gave birth, she would pursue her graduate studies.Although she was divorced, Rosalie still thought that she was quite lucky. At least she didn’t have to worry about money. She had shares in SK Enterprise and plenty of cash in her account.She was a thrifty p

    "Next time, I'll make sure to not leave evidence behind." Sebastian gently caressed Steve's face."Steve, Daddy will win in the end. Just wait and see. When you grow up, you'll be like Daddy, always winning. We'll never lose." Sebastian laughed, his eyes bloodshot.Steve seemed startled, fear beginning to show on his face. He seemed like he was about to cry.-In the middle of the night…A peaceful atmosphere filled the ward, with the soft light of the night lamp casting a warm glow on Aurora's pale face. She lay alone in bed, her body seemingly blending into the silent night.Through the window, the night scenery appeared calm. Moonlight shone on the curtains, casting shadows in her room. Stars adorned the sky like diamonds, flickering as if silently telling tales of endless loneliness and thoughts.The door creaked open, and a man in black quietly entered the room. He was slender, and walked lightly. He blended into the shadows of the darkness. His gaze was sharp, like a star in th

    Theodore gripped the magazine tightly in his hands, flipping through the pages. In truth, he didn't absorb a single word.Rosalie felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't continue speaking to Sebastian. "Seb, I'll hang up now. I'm going to rest."She was afraid that if she kept talking, she would lose control."Alright," Sebastian said, gently waving Steve's hand. "Steve, say goodbye to Mommy.""Goodbye, darling." Rosalie waved at the camera.Thinking about Steve made her heart ache deeply. This whole situation was just absurd. Steve's biological father was right next to her, but he could only remain invisible.After a while, Rosalie ended the video call with Sebastian. She set her phone aside and covered her mouth, crying.She was deeply upset. So many things had happened recently.On one hand, Theodore suddenly appeared in Melrine with his pregnant girlfriend. On the other hand, there was Justin. And then, Sebastian had done something terrible and lied to her. Now, he had returned

    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
