Theodore’s grip tightened with each passing second, but slowly, he started to release his grip over her shoulders.“Do you really want me to cut off all ties with her?”“This isn’t a matter of what I want. I simply raised a condition. Whether you can do it depends entirely on you,” Rosalie said. She knew Theodore would never be able to do it, which is why she said it in the first place. She did it to shut him up. She would never tell him her true feelings and what she was hiding from him.So what if she told him all that? He would still turn around and look for Cynthia, and she would once again be reduced to a pitiful worm without any secrets to herself.Theodore looked intently at the woman right before him. His lips neared her cheeks and his hot breath caressed her skin, and he said hoarsely, “If I cut off all ties with her, will you be with me again?”Rosalie gripped the hem of her shirt tight. She felt rather nervous, and turned her face away to avoid the hot air he was brea
Rosalie stared at him in silence.What else did he want her to say? Did he want her to go crazy and yell at him uncontrollably? Would having a woman he didn’t love go crazy for him make him feel superior?Theodore’s arms fell to his side. He took a few steps back, widening the distance between them, his eyes looking morose.He said in a low voice, “Bring those secrets you refuse to tell me to your grave. You’re right. Even if you told me the truth, it wouldn’t change anything.”Rosalie clenched her fists, feeling anger rise in her chest. She felt like a fool being toyed by him, letting him have his way with her. He gave her hopes and then dashed them so heartlessly, sending her straight to emotional hell. He was always like this, toying with her feelings and then pretending to be innocent.That was Theodore Spencer, a man she had loved for so many years.Rosalie raised a hand, and slapped him. She slapped him hard.Theodore felt his cheek go numb. He rubbed his cheek gently wi
Seeing Theodore staring at Rosalie in silence frustrated Sydney. She looked straight into Theodore’s eyes, and said harshly, “Just speak your mind!”How infuriating!Wesley’s heart leaped as he looked at Sydney in surprise. He suddenly felt as agitated and emotional as a super fan meeting his idol face to face.So cool, so domineering—he loved it!He suddenly had a strong urge to be dominated and controlled by her.Who knew that Wesley Spencer, so smartly-dressed and with an air of authority to him, would have desires for such vices.Despite being bound by rules of morality in society, man’s deepest animal instincts and desires would at times still rear its ugly head.Some would desire to whip others, while others might desire to be whipped.Rosalie suddenly realized that Sydney and Theodore didn’t seem to be in dire need to bond. Their relationship as mother and son seemed to have become very natural.Whenever Sydney scolded Theodore, she didn’t seem the least guilty about he
Sydney rested both hands on the table, her fingers intertwined. “If you want to avoid creating trouble, you should get married secretly and not openly invite your father and I to the wedding, and even ask your ex-wife to be the bridesmaid.”Sydney wasn’t usually good-tempered, but this time, she was speaking to Theodore very patiently.Although sometimes, the calmer the surface of the sea, the stronger the undercurrents.“She can choose not to be the bridesmaid, I’m not forcing her. I’m just giving her an option.”His cold tone made Rosalie clench her fists. All the more she didn’t want to stay here a second longer.“Mom, I’ll make a move first. Have a nice chat.”“Wait,” Sydney said as she turned her head. “Let’s head back together later.”“But Mom…”“Sit down.” Sydney pointed to a chair next to her.Rosalie furrowed her brows.“Sit down,” Sydney repeated herself.Rosalie sighed before acquiescing.She couldn’t be bothered to look at Theodore, and instead pulled out her ph
Curled up under the covers, Rosalie Young gently caressed her belly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.Thankfully, the baby was okay.When he came home last night, Theodore Spencer had wanted to be intimate. As the couple hadn't seen each other for two months, Rosalie couldn't bear to refuse him.Theodore had already woken up and washed up. He was wearing a gray custom suit that perfectly fit his tall and slender body, giving him an elegant and charming air. Currently, he was sitting in a chair with a tablet in hand. His fingers slid gracefully across the screen, exuding a hint of laziness and sensuality.Rosalie was wrapped tightly in the blanket with only her head exposed.When Theodore noticed her staring at him, he calmly asked, "Are you awake? Let's have breakfast.""Okay."Rosalie put on her pajamas, blushing as she crawled out of bed.In the dining room, Rosalie kept pushing her food around her plate as she caressed her belly with one hand. After a while, she
Rosalie lowered her head, smiling bitterly.What else could she ask for? She was sure she had exhausted all the luck in her life to get a chance to marry the man before her.Her parents were ordinary employees at SK Enterprise. They had been trapped in the control room during a fire, but had managed to shut down the critical systems before they died. Their actions prevented the release of toxic substances and avoided more casualties.The media had reported on the incident for several days straight, sharing recordings of her parents' last conversation with the outside world.Orphaned at the age of ten, Rosalie was taken in by her aunt, who was the only option available. However, the woman smoked, drank, and gambled. A year later, Rosalie’s aunt squandered all the money SK Enterprise had given the young girl to compensate for the loss of her parents.When Rosalie was eleven years old, her aunt dumped her at the doorstep of SK Enterprise.Clutching her backpack tightly to her chest,
"I didn't mean it that way," Rosalie snapped, feeling a bit angry.If she had meant it like that, she wouldn’t have let him touch her last night, especially since she was pregnant.Without saying anything else, Theodore carried her back to the bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. His movements were tender and caring, causing Rosalie to desperately hold back her tears.As he straightened her clothes, his large hands inadvertently brushed against her belly. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat. She quickly grabbed his hand and pushed it away. Her lower abdomen was still very flat, but instinctively, she felt guilty and was worried about being discovered.Theodore paused at her actions. "What's wrong?"Was she not letting him touch her now because they were about to get a divorce?"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well and am feeling a bit dizzy," Rosalie explained, giving an excuse."Shall I call a doctor? You don't look too good."Theodore reached out and touched her forehead. S
"Yes, I still see you as a brother, just like you see me as a sister."Rosalie's throat grew increasingly tight, to the point where she could hardly produce another sound. If she could, she would have lifted the covers and rushed into his arms.She would tearfully tell him, "I've never seen you as a brother. I love you!"Instead, she restrained herself from doing something so pathetic. His heart belonged to another woman. Since that was the case, why should she lower herself and beg him like that?"That's good. Now, you can find a man you truly love,” Theodore said calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie's heart ached painfully again, but she forced a smile. "Yeah... That's great."Theodore could openly be with his first love now."Rose," he suddenly called out."Yeah?" Rosalie managed to reply in a strained tone."I..." Theodore suddenly stopped.Rosalie remained silent as she waited for him to continue."I'm leaving first. Get some rest, okay?"With that, Theodore turned and l
