Chapter 40

Author: Night Revelations
Theodore gently patted Cynthia's slender back. "Don't worry, I'll handle everything."

"Is it true that I'll never be able to be part of the Spencer family? Are we really never going to be together?"

Thinking of Wesley's words, Cynthia was furious. What was so great about Rosalie?! She was from a humble background and wasn't worthy of the Spencer family's protection!

Theodore frowned, his expression grave. "Let's not think about that for now. Take care of yourself."

"I don't think I can take care of myself anymore." Cynthia wiped her tears. "Theo, I don't know how long I have left. But even if it's only for a short time, I'll be happy as long as I'm with you. Whether or not we can make our status official doesn't matter anymore."

"Alright, stop crying."

Theodore didn't say much more. Instead, he bent down to tidy up the lunch boxes on the coffee table. He took special care with the one with the chili peppers, covering it carefully.

"Theo, aren't you going to have lunch?" Cynthia

    Theodore frowned, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes.Rosalie stared blankly at the crystal bracelet on the ground, as if it represented the irreparable rift between her and Theodore. She silently bent down, picked up the broken pieces, and threw them into a nearby trash can before walking away.Consumed by an inexplicable anger, Theodore strode forward and grabbed Rosalie's wrist forcefully. "What is the meaning of this?!"From Theodore's perspective, Rosalie had deliberately broken the crystal bracelet.Rosalie winced from his strong grip, frowning as she struggled to free her hand. "I don't understand what you mean."She knew he was asking about the crystal bracelet, but why was he so angry? It was just a gift he had casually bought for her based on Cynthia's suggestion.With a cold expression on his face, Theodore was about to speak when Wesley intervened."Do you want to make a spectacle? Should I grab a megaphone and call all the employees here?"As Wesley spoke, Theod

    Rosalie didn't have much to do, so she went to Spencer Manor early to accompany Rebecca and chat with her. Because she arrived early, her in-laws hadn't arrived yet, and neither had Theodore.Rosalie chatted and laughed with Rebecca in the hall. Even though she felt troubled inside, she kept the older woman laughing."Oh, child. You're the only one who makes me happy. You're as talkative as ever, and you're becoming increasingly cunning, like a fox," Rebecca said as she patted her daughter-in-law's hand affectionately.Rosalie teased, "How could you say that, Grandma? Why did you call me a cunning fox? Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore.""You're a little fox indeed, haha!"Suddenly, Rebecca remembered something. "By the way, didn't you graduate? I'll arrange a job for you at the company later. Tell me what kind of job you want.""No need, Grandma. I'll find a job myself. I don't want to rely on family. I want to rely on my own efforts.""Rose, I admire your independence. But

    After a short while, the call connected."Hello."With Rebecca nearby, Rosalie couldn't afford to sound too distant when talking to Theodore.So, she had to warmly say, "Honey, it's me."Hearing Rosalie's tone, Theodore frowned, feeling a bit puzzled. "What's up?""When are you coming to Grandma's place?"Theodore glanced at his watch. "I'll come later.""Can you come earlier?""Why the rush? It's still early.""I just want you to come earlier and spend more time with Grandma.""Is that Grandma's request?"Rosalie responded with a hum."In that case, you can tell her I'll come later.""But...""Have you forgotten what you said earlier? You've been patient with me for a long time. It'll be more comfortable for you if I come later, so you won't have trouble eating."After saying that, Theodore abruptly hung up, as though sulking and holding her to her words.Rosalie had only said those things because she had no other choice, afraid Theodore would find out she was pregnant

    With Theodore here, Rosalie needed to divert her attention even more.Theodore snatched the things from her hand and tossed them aside. "Stop being so sarcastic.""I'm just speaking the truth. But come to think of it, didn't you also get relief? You sneakily sent Cynthia abroad, then spent two months on a business trip just to be with her. You must have had enough of our marriage. It's been a year of grievances for you."Just the thought of such things sent shivers down Rosalie's spine. Even before marriage, she had known this man's heart belonged to Cynthia. His kindness to her over the past year was merely out of obligation.However, she had always believed that, at least throughout their marriage, he had been faithful. But she never expected him to have done something like this.Theodore furrowed his brows tightly, his face darkening. "Who told you?""Who told me?" Rosalie turned her head, innocently saying, "It definitely wasn't poor Cindy who told me. She's so innocent, kind

    A sharp pain shot through Theodore's arm, but he remained composed and nonchalant."Mom, Dad, you're here."Wesley tugged at his tie and awkwardly cleared his throat. "If you have something to discuss, you should move to your room for privacy. Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at for doing that here? Were you two in that much of a hurry?"Rebecca walked over with her cane, smiling warmly. "I don't think you're in that much of a hurry. Otherwise, why is Rose's belly still flat? Theo, it seems like you need to be even more anxious."Theodore furrowed his brow, a hint of embarrassment flashing in his eyes. "Grandma, it's not what you think.""You pinned your wife down on the couch and kissed her passionately. How else should we interpret that?"Rebecca didn't beat around the bush. After all, they were all adults who were experienced in these matters. There was no need to pretend otherwise.Theodore was at a loss for words. If no one had come in, he couldn't guarantee what

    "Mom, this is just my usual expression. I'm like this with everyone," said Wesley, indirectly explaining that he wasn't intentionally targeting Sydney.Actually, he was quite happy to see his wife. It was just that he wasn't good at expressing it, and Sydney didn't mind either."She's your wife. Why would you treat her the same as anyone else?" Rebecca raised her finger at her son. "You..."Sydney took the older woman's arm. "It's alright, Mom. Let's go eat. It's rare for everyone to gather together. Let's not talk about unhappy things today."Sydney's implications were apparent to Wesley, who frowned but didn't say anything.Theodore chimed in, "Yeah, let's enjoy a meal since we're all together. It's rare.""Hah... you make it sound like such a good thing," said Wesley, glancing coldly at his son. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if implying something.Rebecca furrowed her brows. "Wesley, what's wrong with you now? What did Theo do to offend you?"Wesley smiled. "Mom, it's

    Anyway, the Spencer family was well aware of the situation between the couple, so there was no need to worry about upsetting anyone. Sydney didn't want to make things difficult for herself either.Wesley awkwardly pursed his lips and remained silent, not showing any discontent, as if he had already gotten used to it.Rebecca's smile froze, but she simply sighed without commenting on it, instead turning to the butler and asking him to serve the dishes. The butler nodded in response, and the servants began to bring out dish after dish.The atmosphere at the dinner table was subtly awkward, and it wasn't just between Theodore and Rosalie. There was also a strange tension between Wesley and Sydney. Everyone else noticed it, but Rosalie, unfortunately, was oblivious to everything.It was quiet, unlike a lively family gathering, as if everyone had their own thoughts.Rebecca turned to her beloved granddaughter-in-law, the only one in the Spencer family who seemed relatively normal."Ro

    Theodore smiled gently, not getting angry. "Got it, Grandma, I will."He reached out and took Rosalie's hand, making her feel a pang of bitterness. He was playing his part so well, but in his heart, he was thinking about another woman.Everything they were doing at tonight's dinner was fake. Once they got back home, they would return to their broken relationship. It was sad just to think about it.Even though her heart ached, Rosalie had to maintain a smile on her face. She played along with Theodore, gazing at him lovingly. When Theodore, who had momentarily been spacing out, turned back and met Rosalie’s gaze, he saw how her eyes seemed full of love for him.She was really playing her part so convincingly. If he didn't know better, he would think she really loved him. But in reality, she only saw him as a brother.No, perhaps not even that.She had told him herself that she had put him with him for long enough. Since she personally said it, it had to be true, right?

    "You make it sound so easy. How do you know Sebastian wouldn't do such a thing? Do you know what he did to me? He tried to kill me several times! Do you think he will treat my son any better?"Theodore shoved him away and staggered.Justin quickly supported him, saying, "I know Sebastian isn't a good person, but this child isn't just yours. It's also Rose's. He loves Rose very much. He wants to be with her, so he wouldn't be stupid enough to harm Steve.""What if…""What if he really harms Steve?" Justin immediately said. "Don't worry. I'll tear Sebastian to pieces if that happens, and I'll give my life for it!""Give your life for it?" Theodore scoffed, "Do you think you can handle that?"Justin helped Theodore back onto the bed. "Just watch the video first."Justin turned to leave."Where are you going?" Theodore immediately asked.Justin paused at the door and turned back, saying, "I'm going to bring Steve to you.""Wait a moment." Theodore called out to him."What is it now? If you

    Loving someone was inherently painful, especially when one didn't realize one's feelings at the start. It was only after losing the person that one woke up to the truth, but by then, the loss was final and irreversible.Things had already happened, and no amount of pain could bring back what was lost."Justin, what are you still doing here? Are you here to watch me suffer? Get out! Go! Tell Rose I will settle this with her. I'm not done with her. I will fight for custody. Steve is my child. I will take him home!"Theodore's heart was filled with hatred."I'm looking for Rose too, but I can't find her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you," Justin replied.Theodore froze. "What did you say?""Do you really think I came here to show off? I came because Rose's gone. If I could find her, I wouldn't have come to you. I tried to reach you before, but you were in surgery. Now that you're awake, I need you to get your emotions in check. What I'm about to tell you is even bigger than the fact

    If the mysterious pregnancy and DNA test reports still left him with some doubts, hearing Justin's words in person—that Steve was indeed his son—completely erased any lingering suspicion. What replaced it was an overwhelming pain.Theodore had once wondered what it would be like if Steve were his son. He had even wondered if Steve could possibly be his son.However, thinking back to everything that had happened between him and Rosalie, he became afraid. He was afraid that if he thought too much about it, he might just be deluding himself. What would he do then?After all, when they met in Melrine, he had seen Rosalie, Sebastian, and Steve eating together at a restaurant. Theodore had watched as Sebastian and Steve interacted like father and son. His first instinct was that Rosalie and Sebastian had a child together.And Rosalie hadn't denied it. She had implicitly accepted it, which led Theodore to believe that Steve was indeed Sebastian's son.Theodore thought about his interactions w

    Justin's eyes flashed with a hint of confusion. He lowered his head and saw the papers that had fallen at his feet. He bent down and picked them up.Upon seeing the contents, he asked in surprise, "Where did you get this from?""You're asking me?" Theodore sneered. "Justin, are you the one behind this? Are you deliberately causing trouble by sending these things in Rose's name?"The more Justin listened, the more confused he became. Suddenly, he noticed an envelope on the nightstand. He picked it up and, upon seeing the sender's name, glanced back at the report in his hand."This definitely wasn't sent by Rose.""Not sent by her? Then where is she now? I can't get through to her phone. Tell her I need to see her. I want to talk to her, especially about Steve. I need to know if he's Sebastian's child or mine. I want to do the paternity test myself!"Whether the contents of the mail were true or not, Theodore was determined to investigate this matter personally. He had always assumed St

    Theodore thought he was dreaming.His hands were trembling as he held the documents. He repeatedly examined the pregnancy test report and the DNA test report.The result showed that Steve was his biological son.What on earth was going on?The pregnancy test report was from a year and a half ago, but the DNA test report was from just a week ago.How could this be?"Mr. Spencer, are you alright?" The assistant noticed Theodore's abnormal behavior and was somewhat concerned. He didn't dare look at the contents of the documents, as this was Theodore's mail."My phone. Where's my phone?" Theodore asked."Mr. Spencer, your phone was destroyed in the car accident. I'll get you a replacement.""Wait. Give me your phone. Quickly!""Okay." The assistant immediately handed his phone to Theodore.Theodore knew Rosalie's number by heart, of course. He quickly dialed it."Sorry, the number you've dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."Was her phone turned off?The mail showed it

    But what difference did it make? Theodore felt nothing for Cynthia—at most, just guilt."Theo, I'm not asking to be with you again, but I hope that I can see you often. That's all I want. As long as I know you're alright.""I just want to be alone for a while. Please leave," Theodore replied weakly. "Can I still visit you?"After a moment of silence, Theodore said, "Maybe in a few days. I just want to be alone now.""Alright, I'll give you some space to calm down. I'll visit you again. I hope we can still be friends. Oh, by the way..." Cynthia took a small gift box from her bag and placed it on the bedside table. "This is a gift I made for you.""What's this?" Theodore asked.Cynthia opened the box to reveal a red braided bracelet."I made this for you. Can I put it on you? It'll keep you safe and bring you good health."Theodore was indifferent. "Do you really believe in this kind of thing?""Theo, whether you believe in it or not, it's still my sincere wish. I spent the whole night

    Theodore had a long dream. When he woke up, his whole body ached."Theo, you're finally awake." Wesley sighed in relief.Theodore opened his eyes, feeling not only physical pain but also an intense pain in his chest. As soon as he regained consciousness, he thought of what Rosalie had said to him.Rosalie was so cruel. Why hadn't he died in that car accident? Why was he still alive?Seeing his son's dazed eyes, as if he was soulless, Wesley immediately spoke. "Theo, what's wrong? How could you be so careless when driving? Thankfully, you're alive. You need to rest and recover. Don't worry about the company, I'll take care of it. Your mother still hasn't woken up. If something happened to you, what would I do?"Theodore barely heard anything Wesley said because his heart was in agony. He even wanted to question Rosalie why she saved him.Wesley stayed with Theodore for a while longer, but had to leave to attend to company matters. He reminded the bodyguards and nurses to take good care

    He cupped Rosalie's cheeks in his hands and apologized. "Rose, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm just a pitiful child who lost his mother. Don't hurt me anymore."Yerick suddenly started sobbing as he hugged Rosalie tight. "Rose, after all this draws to a close, I'll take you away. We'll lead a happy life together. Although I'm younger than you, don't worry. I'm very good at taking care of others. I started taking care of my mom when I was very young. She wasn't in good health, and I was always taking care of her. I'll take good care of you, too."Yerick sobbed in her arms like a child, his tall towering figure shaking uncontrollably. His voice rang in her ears; if she closed her eyes, she could almost imagine him to be nothing but an innocent, crying child who had lost his mother and lacked a sense of security. She would have pitied him.Rosalie felt her heart soften ever so slightly, but her rationale hardened her heart once more. Thinking of

    Sebastian turned out to be so wicked! She couldn't believe he would do such a thing.After Sebastian left the warehouse, Theodore was left lying alone inside, in a pool of blood. He shut his eyes, having lost all hope.Rosalie's heart broke to witness the scene. She clutched her chest and could almost smell the metallic smell of blood in the air. "Theo, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!"Another figure appeared in the video—it was probably Yerick. He pulled out a needle and injected something into Theodore's body before leaving.Soon after, Aurora appeared.Everything was becoming clear. That was what actually happened.Yerick put his phone aside. "Rose, do you understand now? Although I shot Theodore, I saved him afterward. You saw it for yourself. What did Sebastian do after Theodore was injured? He wanted to kill Theodore. Those whom you trusted have been lying to you, while the one you didn't trust has been protecting you all along. Rose, you must be devastated, right?""Why? Why did
