Sebastian watched Sydney with some apprehension.Finally, Sydney spoke up. "Alright, if it's truly over, then let it be. Theo ignoring you only confirms that he wants to end things. It's best if you two don't meet again in the future."This was all Sydney could do now.This tangled fate needed to end.Sebastian genuinely loved Rosalie, and would treat her well.As for Theodore, he had given up and withdrawn, leaving a trail of heartbreak. Whatever he did now would only cause Rosalie more pain.It was clear he wasn't suited for a life with Rosalie.Theodore was emotionally clueless, while Sebastian was exceptionally perceptive, knowing exactly how to cherish the woman he loved.Sebastian frowned slightly, confusion evident in his eyes. He hadn't expected Sydney to say this.He had thought Sydney might tell Rosalie that Theodore hadn't been there the previous night. If Rosalie knew that, she would likely become even more upset and try to confront Theodore again.Why hadn't Sydn
Sebastian found Sydney's apology unsettling.Was she scheming against him? What was she really up to?It felt surreal, like she had completely changed overnight. Just yesterday, she had been aggressive and threatening, but now she wore an expression of deep remorse.He couldn't shake off the suspicion that she had some ulterior motive.Maybe she had a hidden agenda. Sebastian couldn't bring himself to trust her appearance of repentance."I know you hate me,” he said bluntly. "You don't need to put on a show in front of me. I don't care if you dislike me. As long as Rose cares about me, that's all that matters.”Sydney's demeanor was grating, and Sebastian felt a strange, uncomfortable unease. He even felt sorry for her. He would rather she continued to be hostile.For all he knew, her current behavior could be an act."Indeed,” Sydney replied with a faint smile. "Rose does care about you, and you two are no longer just friends.”"I'm her husband,” Sebastian said firmly. "How c
She had rebuked and hit him, although he had no idea she was his mother. She didn't even dare tell him the truth."Mr. Carter, regarding what happened yesterday and my previous behavior toward you, I sincerely apologize. I hope you won't hold it against me."Sebastian couldn't shake the suspicion that his father had somehow pressured her into this display of contrition. Despite her earnest demeanor, he found it hard to trust her motives.“I don't care what's going on in your head," he said coldly. “For Rose's sake, I'll let it go. But you should leave now."With that, Sebastian turned on his heel and walked away.He might have chosen to overlook Sydney's behavior for Rosalie's sake, but internally, he remained troubled. No matter how many apologies she offered, the damage had been done. Could a simple apology truly make up for everything?He felt that the Spencers were utterly shameless, thinking that apologizing could erase all their wrongs. Theodore had been like this, and now
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
Yuvan straightened up and said, "There are typos in the documents. I need to take them back for corrections, sorry."Rosalie fell silent. Typos?For a moment, she had thought things would turn around for her. Hah... she was still clinging to ridiculous fantasies.After Yuvan left, Rosalie returned to her room. She didn't know how she had endured this day. She had eaten lunch and dinner properly. She hadn't experienced severe morning sickness yet, but perhaps due to excessive sadness or overeating, she vomited particularly violently that night.She cried while vomiting. In the end, she curled up on the floor as she trembled violently.It was almost midnight. In the past, if Theodore had something to do and couldn't return home by ten o'clock, he would always call her to let her know where he was. It looked like he wouldn't be doing it anymore.Suddenly, a ringtone echoed through the room.As the ringtone echoed louder and clearer, Rosalie’s ears perked up. She scrambled up from t
