"You can't even handle a little scare. If someone actually tried to kill you, you'd probably pee your pants!"Yerick was curious to see how Chloe would react if faced with a real threat. The fear of death on this woman's face would surely be fascinating to observe.“You're so morbid, talking about killing and stuff. Even though you're my employer, I'm going to stop taking care of you if you keep scaring me. You'll have to find someone else,” Chloe said, genuinely upset.“Alright, I'll stop teasing you. After all, you're older than me. I should show you some respect.”Chloe rolled her eyes. “Respect? I'm only twenty-two, just four years older than you. I'm not that old!”Yerick's brows furrowed instantly, his gaze turning cold and distant.Chloe felt a chill from his grim look. Though he hadn't said a word, the eerie atmosphere seemed to suffocate her.“You're so timid,” Yerick said, pointing at her. “And you have the nerve to emphasize you're older than me?”Chloe pouted. “I'm
Rosalie snapped back to reality, and shook her head. "It's nothing. I'll be right back."She turned and walked away, with Theodore watching her retreating figure.Back in the hospital room, Rosalie explained to Sebastian that she needed to attend a wedding. She conveniently left out that Theodore would be accompanying her.Given Sebastian's current condition, mentioning Theodore's name would require further explanation. Rosalie feared such a revelation might be too much for Sebastian to handle, especially if he believed that all his memories were incorrect."Seb, I'll try to be back as quickly as I can. Rest well, and if you need anything, just give me a call.""It's alright, Rose. Just go. It's actually nice to see you busy with your own life," Sebastian replied, settling back into his pillows.Rosalie tucked him in. "I'll go now. I'll bring you some candy when I return."Sebastian chuckled. "Honey, do you think of me as a child?""Yep, I'm treating you like one. So, you'd bet
Theodore nodded. “Alright. You look great in that outfit. You look good in anything.”In fact, he wanted to say that she would look even better if she weren't wearing anything and that he was the only one who could see her naked. Unfortunately, he no longer had that opportunity.What used to be easy for him to experience and enjoy, he now couldn't even express. Theodore couldn't help but think of Rosalie and Sebastian, wondering whether that man had seen Rosalie without anything on.Noticing the flicker of concern in Theodore's eyes, Rosalie asked, “What's wrong? Is there a problem?”Theodore shook his head. “No, it's nothing. Let's go.”He pressed the elevator button, and when the doors opened, they both stepped inside.Not far away, Yvonne ran over and repeatedly pressed the elevator button, but it was too late; the elevator was already descending. From a distance, she had seen Rosalie and Theodore standing together and stepping into the elevator, seemingly headed somewhere t
A trace of sadness flickered in Yvonne's eyes.What to do?Sebastian and Rosalie were cousins, but now, Sebastian had amnesia. He thought Rosalie was truly his wife, and had fallen for her. It was hard to imagine how he would react when the truth came out."I wish I could go with Rose to the wedding. I can't even accompany her to see her grandmother. I'm really a useless husband."Hearing Sebastian's sighs, Yvonne tried to comfort him. "Seb, don't say that. Once you're better, everything will be resolved.""Yes, but… I might never remember." Sebastian said, his gaze falling. "I don't know where Rose is now, or what kind of wedding she's attending. I really wish I could be there with her. If she's alone there and people ask where her husband is, what will she say? I really wish I could do something for her."He sighed deeply, and turned his head. "Thank you for coming to see me, but I'd like to be alone for a while, if that's alright."Yvonne nodded. "Of course. I won't disturb y
He was thinking about doing unspeakable things with her.Theodore gave a faint smile. "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you smile like that in a long time. It's beautiful."He wanted her."So you're saying that I'm ugly when I don't smile?" Rosalie asked, looking at him seriously.Theodore quickly replied, "Of course not."Even when she wasn't smiling, he wanted her underneath him.Inside, he was burning with desire, but his face showed signs of panic. "Rose… What I meant was…""Alright." Rosalie smiled lightly. "I was just teasing you."She wasn't sure what had come over her; she just wanted to joke with him. He was usually so serious and composed, and seeing him flustered was oddly amusing. It seemed she had figured out how to make him nervous."Why would you do that to me, Rose?" He looked at her with a hint of resentment."You've bullied me so many times, is it so wrong for me to tease you a bit?"Rosalie said this in jest, but seeing Theodore's slightly changed express
Later on, Rosalie couldn't find Theodore anywhere. She searched around but had no luck, and when she tried calling him, he didn't answer. She was starting to get worried.At that moment, her grandmother's friend called out to her. "Rose."Rosalie turned around. "Hello, Ms. Lana. Is something wrong?""There is actually," Lana said with a smile. "I see you and Mr. Spencer look so happy together. Could I ask you both to come up on stage and say a few words of blessing for my granddaughter and her new husband?""Words of blessing?" Rosalie smiled. "But I'm not sure what to say.""That's alright. Just say a few words. Can you help us with this small request?""Well…"It was just a small favor, so she didn't want to refuse outright. However, she didn't know where Theodore was."Ms. Lana, Theodore’s…""We'll do it." A man's voice suddenly came from behind Rosalie. Theodore had returned.Rosalie turned to see Theodore coming back. A closer look revealed that his eyes were a bit red
Theodore’s cold voice echoed ominously through the room. “Love alone isn’t enough. Being an idiot can destroy everything, even if you’re a match made in heaven.”The moment Theodore’s words rang out, the room fell into an eerie silence.Everyone’s gaze was fixed on him.The groom and bride stared at him with wide eyes.Rosalie frowned slightly, turning to look at Theodore with a sense of foreboding. She subtly tugged at the corner of his jacket, giving him a look that pleaded for him to stop.At this point, the host stepped in to smooth things over. “What Mr. Spencer means is that marriage is a long and complex journey, and it requires patience and understanding. But I’m sure with the bride and groom working together, they can overcome any obstacles, just as Mrs. Spencer said!”“No.” Theodore flatly dismissed the host’s attempt at clarification. “So-called patience and understanding are often just our own assumptions. What the other person truly needs may not be these things at
The bride, feeling anxious, stepped in front of the groom. "Mr. Spencer, are you tired? Maybe you should take a break.""Why are you in such a hurry to protect him? How do you know he's not lying to you? Men can't be indulged! He might have someone else on the side!"Theodore's outburst left everyone stunned. He was causing a scene right in front of the bride and groom, disregarding the occasion. Given his special status, however, no one dared to intervene and remove him.Theodore grabbed the groom and shouted, "Who is she? Tell me now while you still can! Spill it! Who’s the other woman?""Mr. Spencer, what are you doing?" The bride tried to pull her husband back.Theodore seized the groom by the collar. "Don't think I don't know! If you don't confess, I will! And then you'll understand the taste of betrayal! Admit it while you still have the chance!"Theodore's eyes were cold and terrifying."Say it!" Theodore roared."Theo, let's go downstairs!" Rosalie implored, trying her
